Zoonoses e Educação em Saúde: Conhecer, Compartilhar e Multiplicar / Zoonoses and Health Education: Know, Share and Multiply

Zoonoses são doenças infecciosas que podem ser naturalmente transmitidas dos animais aos seres humanos. Atividades e estratégias de educação em saúde desenvolvidas entre a academia, sociedade e o poder público são ferramentas eficientes para instituir a profilaxia destas zoonoses, levando a saudável convivência entre humanos e os animais. A pesquisa teve como objetivo principal trabalhar a conscientização e a multiplicação de informações relativas à posse responsável, ao controle populacional de animais e as zoonoses mais prevalentes nos Municípios de Barra do Garças e Pontal do Araguaia, Mato Grosso. Ao mesmo tempo envolver os estudantes dos ensinos superior e médio integrado ao técnico, com a comunidade escolar, fazendo com que unidos, atuassem para a construção da ponte escola/comunidade e desta forma, estabelecessem na prática o conceito de cidadania. A metodologia foi dividida em três etapas, a saber: Conhecer – ciclo de atualização de informações sobre os temas que seriam trabalhados com os alunos do ensino superior. Compartilhar – ciclo de palestras sobre os temas selecionados com alunos do ensino médio integrado ao técnico do IFMT, com realização de atividades lúdicas para fixação das informações compartilhadas. Nesta oportunidade os alunos responderam um questionário semiestruturado para acessar o nível de conhecimento pré e pós-capacitação. Multiplicar – Alunos do IFMT capacitados, multiplicando seus conhecimentos com estudantes de escolas públicas de Pontal do Araguaia/MT, por meio da utilização de teatro de fantoches e diferentes atividades lúdicas como forma de fixação de conteúdo ministrado. Os resultados permitiram verificar um aumento significativo em todos os parâmetros avaliativos do questionário pré e pós-capacitação dos alunos do ensino médio, além disso afirmaram em sua totalidade que gostaram de participar e gostariam de continuar trabalhando desta forma. Pode-se concluir que as ações de extensão universitária com enfoque em educação sanitária, aliado aos componentes lúdicos envolvendo o compartilhamento de informações foram, é e sempre poderão ser consideradas ferramentas importantes e eficazes que trazem benefícios a todos os envolvidos, com vistas ao estabelecimento de saúde única

ANORMALIDADES PLACENTÁRIAS E SEU PAPEL NAS COMPLICAÇÕES OBSTÉTRICAS

Placental abnormalities represent a significant concern in obstetric practice, as they can trigger a series of complications for both mother and fetus during pregnancy and childbirth. These conditions encompass a variety of changes in the structure and function of the placenta, including abruption, placenta previa, placental insufficiency, and others. Objective: Review placental abnormalities and their role in obstetric complications, providing a concise analysis of the main placental-related conditions that can affect pregnancy and birth. Methodology: This study consisted of a narrative review of the literature that investigated the relationship between substance use during pregnancy and fetal growth retardation. The research was conducted through online access to the databases Documentation on Health Sciences in Latin America and the Caribbean (LILACS), Health Sciences Information Center in Latin America and the Caribbean (Bireme), Scientific Electronic Library Online ( SCIELO) and Virtual Health Library (VHL) during the month of March 2024. Results and Discussion:  Placental abnormalities play a crucial role in obstetric complications, impacting both maternal and fetal health. Studies show a significant association between placental abruption, placenta previa, placental insufficiency and a series of complications, such as premature birth, fetal growth restriction, pre-eclampsia and even intrauterine fetal death. Early identification and appropriate management of these conditions are essential to reduce risks to mother and baby. However, diagnosis can be challenging due to the variety of clinical presentations and the lack of specific markers for some placental abnormalities. Final Considerations:  Placental abnormalities represent a significant challenge in obstetric practice, contributing to serious complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Early identification and appropriate management of these conditions are essential to reduce risks to mother and baby. Although much remains to be understood about the causes and underlying mechanisms of placental abnormalities, it is critical that healthcare professionals are aware of the signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of these conditions.As anormalidades placentárias representam uma preocupação significativa na prática obstétrica, pois podem desencadear uma série de complicações tanto para a mãe quanto para o feto durante a gravidez e o parto. Essas condições abrangem uma variedade de alterações na estrutura e função da placenta, incluindo descolamento, placenta prévia, insuficiência placentária e outras. Objetivo: Revisar as anormalidades placentárias e seu papel nas complicações obstétricas, fornecendo uma análise concisa das principais condições relacionadas à placenta que podem afetar a gravidez e o parto. Metodologia: Este estudo consistiu em uma revisão narrativa da literatura que investigou a relação entre o uso de substâncias durante a gravidez e o retardo do crescimento fetal. A pesquisa foi conduzida por meio de acesso online às bases de dados Documentação em Ciências da Saúde da América Latina e do Caribe (LILACS), Centro de Informação em Ciências da Saúde da América Latina e do Caribe (Bireme), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) durante o mês de março de 2024. Resultados e Discussão: As anormalidades placentárias desempenham um papel crucial nas complicações obstétricas, impactando tanto a saúde materna quanto fetal. Estudos mostram uma associação significativa entre descolamento de placenta, placenta prévia, insuficiência placentária e uma série de complicações, como parto prematuro, restrição de crescimento fetal, pré-eclâmpsia e até mesmo morte fetal intrauterina. A identificação precoce e o manejo adequado dessas condições são essenciais para reduzir os riscos para mãe e bebê. No entanto, o diagnóstico pode ser desafiador devido à variedade de apresentações clínicas e à falta de marcadores específicos para algumas anormalidades placentárias. Considerações Finais: As anormalidades placentárias representam um desafio significativo na prática obstétrica, contribuindo para complicações graves durante a gestação e o parto. A identificação precoce e o manejo adequado dessas condições são essenciais para reduzir os riscos para mãe e bebê. Embora ainda haja muito a ser compreendido sobre as causas e mecanismos subjacentes das anormalidades placentárias, é fundamental que os profissionais de saúde estejam atentos aos sinais e sintomas que podem indicar a presença dessas condições

ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America

Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we are limited in our understanding of intra- and interspecies spatial morphological variation. Here, we present the ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a data set that includes measurements of up to 44 morphological traits in 67,197 bird records from 2,790 populations distributed throughout the Atlantic forests of South America. This data set comprises information, compiled over two centuries (1820–2018), for 711 bird species, which represent 80% of all known bird diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Among the most commonly reported traits are sex (n = 65,717), age (n = 63,852), body mass (n = 58,768), flight molt presence (n = 44,941), molt presence (n = 44,847), body molt presence (n = 44,606), tail length (n = 43,005), reproductive stage (n = 42,588), bill length (n = 37,409), body length (n = 28,394), right wing length (n = 21,950), tarsus length (n = 20,342), and wing length (n = 18,071). The most frequently recorded species are Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 1,837), Turdus albicollis (n = 1,658), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 1,468), Turdus leucomelas (n = 1,436), and Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 1,384). The species recorded in the greatest number of sampling localities are Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 243), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 242), Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 210), Platyrinchus mystaceus (n = 208), and Turdus rufiventris (n = 191). ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.

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
