Análise do uso de medicamentos anti-hipertensivos e antidiabéticos pelas idosas do conviver em Rio Verde-Goiás / Analysis of the use of anti-hypertensive medicines and antidiabetics for the elderly of living in Rio Verde-Goiás

As doenças cardio e cerebrovasculares, atualmente, são as maiores causas de morbi-mortalidade no mundo, significativamente em idosos. Estas patologias têm como base principal as duas comorbidades mais prevalentes: hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus.  Sabe-se que o tratamento farmacológico com anti-hipertensivos e antidiabéticos é essencial para a prevenção da mortalidade por essas doenças. Diante disso, este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar os medicamentos utilizados pelas idosas do Centro de Convivência e Assistência ao Idoso (Conviver) no controle de diabetes e hipertensão arterial, assim como enfatizar a importância da adesão ao tratamento. A amostra foi constituída por 46 idosas, sendo que a mais nova possui 61 anos e a mais velha 87 anos. Quanto à presença de hipertensão arterial sistêmica, 34 pacientes (73,9%) são portadoras. Destas, 24 idosas relataram uso farmacológico de anti-hipertensivos. Em relação à comorbidade diabetes mellitus, 11 idosas, ou seja, (23,91%) a possuíam. Destas, apenas 3 idosas afirmaram o uso contínuo e regular de antidiabéticos. No decorrer do presente trabalho foi assinalada a importância do uso das medicações antihipertensivas e antidiabéticas para a prevenção de doenças cardio e cerebrovascular e renal, na busca do aumento da expectativa de vida e redução da morbimortalidade da população.  

O impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 na população indígena: uma análise científica

A pandemia de COVID-19, desencadeada pelo coronavírus SARS-CoV-2, tem sido um desafio global, afetando diversas comunidades, com destaque para as populações indígenas, historicamente marginalizadas e vulneráveis devido a desigualdades estruturais. O presente artigo trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, através de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. A análise epidemiológica revela que fatores como superlotação em moradias, falta de acesso a água potável e saneamento básico, além de altas taxas de comorbidades, contribuem para a propagação e impactos severos da doença nessas comunidades. A falta de acesso a serviços de saúde adequados é agravada pela escassez de infraestrutura e profissionais de saúde em áreas remotas, somada a barreiras linguísticas e culturais. Apesar dos desafios, as populações indígenas têm demonstrado resiliência, implementando medidas proativas de prevenção, promovendo solidariedade comunitária e preservando práticas tradicionais de cura. Estratégias de longo prazo incluem a diversificação econômica e o fortalecimento dos sistemas de saúde indígenas. A conclusão ressalta a importância de reconhecer e valorizar os conhecimentos e direitos das comunidades indígenas, promovendo ações colaborativas para construir sociedades mais inclusivas e resilientes

O principal objetivo do presente estudo é discutir por meio da literatura científica acerca dos avanços da cirurgia robótica no tratamento de doenças cardiovasculares. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, dos quais, utilizou-se as bases e biblioteca eletrônica Scielo e Periódico Capes, totalizando 5 artigos elegíveis. A cirurgia robótica tem sido um dos principais métodos utilizados em tratamentos cardiovasculares quando comparados com técnicas convencionais, sobretudo, no que diz respeito, a cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio

Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences

The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a–b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016

Por uma história social dos trabalhadores do mar: questões lançadas às listas de matrículas de tripulações mercantes em Portugal e seus domínios (1807-1808)

Em uma publicação recente, transcrevemos um conjunto significativo de listas de matrículas da marinha mercante lusa para os anos de 1807 e 1808, documentação sob a custódia do Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo. Além da transcrição, o artigo apresentou a fonte e suas potencialidades e elencou diversas indagações que, na perspectiva da história social, podem ter respostas ensaiadas a partir da consulta a essas fontes seriais. Nossa intenção, agora, é apresentar algumas reflexões que permitam avançar na resposta a essas mesmas questões, como por quê os estudos sobre a demografia de Portugal no século XVIII estão atrelados ao contingente de trabalhadores marítimos ofertado ao mar no período de nosso recorte, entre outras possibilidades apresentadas pela fonte.En una publicación reciente, hemos transcrito un importante conjunto de listas de matrícula de la marina mercante portuguesa de los años 1807 y 1808, documentación bajo la custodia del Archivo Nacional de Torre do Tombo.

Investigation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in dogs and cats of humans diagnosed with COVID-19 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

BackgroundInfection by SARS-CoV-2 in domestic animals has been related to close contact with humans diagnosed with COVID-19. Objectives: To assess the exposure, infection, and persistence by SARS-CoV-2 of dogs and cats living in the same households of humans that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, and to investigate clinical and laboratory alterations associated with animal infection.MethodsAnimals living with COVID-19 patients were longitudinally followed and had nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal and rectal swabs collected and tested for SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, blood samples were collected for laboratory analysis, and plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT90) to investigate specific SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.ResultsBetween May and October 2020, 39 pets (29 dogs and 10 cats) of 21 patients were investigated. Nine dogs (31%) and four cats (40%) from 10 (47.6%) households were infected with or seropositive for SARS-CoV-2. Animals tested positive from 11 to 51 days after the human index COVID-19 case onset of symptoms. Three dogs tested positive twice within 14, 30, and 31 days apart. SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies were detected in one dog (3.4%) and two cats (20%). In this study, six out of thirteen animals either infected with or seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 have developed mild but reversible signs of the disease. Using logistic regression analysis, neutering, and sharing bed with the ill owner were associated with pet infection.ConclusionsThe presence and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been identified in dogs and cats from households with human COVID-19 cases in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. People with COVID-19 should avoid close contact with their pets during the time of their illness

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
