Association of the microbiological profile with cytological changes in quilombolas women at the basic health units

Objetivo: Analisar o perfil microbiológico e relacionar com as alterações citológicas de mulheres quilombolas que possuem lesões cérvico-vaginais. Material e Métodos. Este foi um estudo de corte transversal de 5 meses, baseado em 154 mulheres quilombolas, na faixa etária de 13 a 74 anos, registradas no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e que possuem lesões cérvico-vaginais. Resultados. Mulheres com idade >45 anos (43,5%) foram as que mais realizaram exames Papanicolaou, seguido das mulheres com 31 a 45 anos (31,2%) e posteriormente ≤30 anos (25,3%). A infecção mais comum em mulheres com idade ≤30 foi Gardnerella sp. (35,8%), já em mulheres na faixa de 31 a 45 anos foi Lactobacillus sp. (47,9%). A prevalência global das alterações citológicas foi de 7,8%, com maior frequência na faixa de 31 a 45 anos. Conclusão. As mulheres com vaginose bacteriana apresentaram maior prevalência de atipias celulares e não houve associação estatisticamente significante entre faixa etária e alterações cérvico-vaginais, bem como, a microbiota não apresentou associação com anormalidades citológicas.Aim: Analyzing the microbiological profile and associate it with cytological alterations in quilombola women with cervical-vaginal lesions. Material and Methods: This was a 5-month cross-sectional study based on 154 quilombola women, in the 13 to 74 years age group, recorded in the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) with cervical-vaginal lesions. Results: Women aged 45 years and older (43.5%) had the most Pap smears, followed by women in the 31 to 45 years (31,2%) and ≤30 years old (25,3%). The most common infection in women of ≤30 years old was Gardnerella (35,8%) and in the 31 to 45 years group was Lactobacillus (47,9%). The overall prevalence of cytological abnormalities was 7.8%, with higher frequency in the 31 to 45 years group. Conclusion: The microbiological profile in the quilombola women with bacterial vaginosis had the highest cellular atypias prevalence and no statistically significant association was found between the age range and cervical-vaginal changes, as well as the microbiota had no association with cytological abnormalities

O papel do enfermeiro no tratamento dos transtornos alimentares: Revisão integrativa.

Eating disorders are worrying pathologies that are related to eating behavior and the main eating disorders are: anorexia and bulimia. The treatment of these eating disorders contains a great challenge for nurses, because it is important that they have knowledge and dedication to treatments, where the prognosis is given due to an early diagnosis. The study proposed to develop a review about eating disorders, emphasizing the role of nursing. Having as objective the importance of nursing in the treatment of patients with eating disorders. This is a study carried out through a bibliographical survey, with the purpose of performing an integrative review in the following databases: LILACS, BVS-BIREME, MEDLINE and BDENF. In this context, the present study found that it is fundamental that nurses first need to recognize the severity of the problem before establishing strategies so that those affected by eating disorders do not need to resort to hospital services when the condition is already critical and that nurses are able to guide and conduct high quality and efficient clinical follow-up to patients and their families, focusing on establishing bonds of trust, emotional support and guidance on the pathology and its physical consequences.Os transtornos alimentares são patologias preocupantes, que estão relacionados ao comportamento alimentar e os principais transtornos alimentares são: anorexia e a bulimia. O tratamento desses transtornos alimentares contém um grande desafio para o enfermeiro, pois é importante que o mesmo possua conhecimentos e se dedique diante dos tratamentos, onde o prognóstico se dá em razão um diagnóstico precoce. O estudo se propôs a desenvolver uma revisão sobre transtornos alimentares, dando ênfase ao papel da enfermagem. Tendo como objetivo a importância da enfermagem frente ao tratamento de pacientes com transtornos alimentares. Tratando de um estudo realizado por meio de levantamento bibliográfico, com o propósito de realizar uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados: LILACS, BVS-BIREME, MEDLINE E BDENF como critérios de inclusão foram utilizados artigos disponíveis na íntegra, em idioma português, inglês e espanhol e como critérios de exclusão artigos que não abordaram a temática estudada. Neste contexto o presente estudo constatou que é fundamental que os enfermeiros precisaram em primeiro lugar reconhecer a gravidade do problema antes de estabelecer estratégias para que aqueles acometidos pelos transtornos alimentares não precisassem recorrer aos serviços hospitalares quando o quadro já se encontra crítico e que o enfermeiro esteja apto para orientar e conduzir o acompanhamento clínico de alta qualidade e eficiência ao paciente e seus familiares, com foco no estabelecimento de vínculos de confiança, suporte emocional e orientação sobre patologia e suas consequências físicas

A list of land plants of Parque Nacional do Caparaó, Brazil, highlights the presence of sampling gaps within this protected area

Brazilian protected areas are essential for plant conservation in the Atlantic Forest domain, one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots. A major challenge for improving conservation actions is to know the plant richness, protected by these areas. Online databases offer an accessible way to build plant species lists and to provide relevant information about biodiversity. A list of land plants of “Parque Nacional do Caparaó” (PNC) was previously built using online databases and published on the website "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil." Here, we provide and discuss additional information about plant species richness, endemism and conservation in the PNC that could not be included in the List. We documented 1,791 species of land plants as occurring in PNC, of which 63 are cited as threatened (CR, EN or VU) by the Brazilian National Red List, seven as data deficient (DD) and five as priorities for conservation. Fifity-one species were possible new ocurrences for ES and MG states

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
