Bladder Diverticulum and Sepsis

 Introduction: Bladder diverticula are rare both in adults and in children and may be congenital or acquired, are rare in females. Objective: To describe the case of occasional finding of bladder diverticulum in women, which developed into sepsis. Case report: Patient MIB, 81, female was admitted to the Cariri Regional Hospital after a fall from height resulting in trochanteric fracture of left femur .No fifth day of hospitalization, the patient developed an abdominal mass in pit right iliac, associated the signs of inflammation and painful abdomen. Computed tomography of the abdomen with contrast revealed a cystic collection of air-fluid content and inflammatory aspect in the right lower abdomen measuring approximately 212 mL volume with continuity with the bladder. Discussion: bladder diverticula are usually asymptomatic, and occasionally found more commonly in men. It is a rare condition in women and its clinical presentation is associated with infection or neoplasia. There are reports of peritonitis after spontaneous perforation of the diverticulum, however, its evolution to sepsis is rare. Conclusion: bladder diverticulum in women and evolving to sepsis without drilling is a rare condition, with few reports in the literature

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.
