2 nd Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease, 2015

Abstract Chagas disease is a neglected chronic condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. It has considerable psychological, social, and economic impacts. The disease represents a significant public health issue in Brazil, with different regional patterns. This document presents the evidence that resulted in the Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease. The objective was to review and standardize strategies for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of Chagas disease in the country, based on the available scientific evidence. The consensus is based on the articulation and strategic contribution of renowned Brazilian experts with knowledge and experience on various aspects of the disease. It is the result of a close collaboration between the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine and the Ministry of Health. It is hoped that this document will strengthen the development of integrated actions against Chagas disease in the country, focusing on epidemiology, management, comprehensive care (including families and communities), communication, information, education, and research

The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability

Chromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism. The genome also contains extensive but incomplete arrays of ORFs coding for proteins associated with mammalian pathogenicity, possibly involved in the occasional but often fatal cases of human C. violaceum infection. There is, in addition, a series of previously unknown but important enzymes and secondary metabolites including paraquat-inducible proteins, drug and heavy-metal-resistance proteins, multiple chitinases, and proteins for the detoxification of xenobiotics that may have biotechnological applications

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

Níveis, métodos de aplicação e fontes de fosfatos na produção de milho

Em Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro, textura argilosa, fase cerrado, foi instalado um ensaio, com duração de cinco anos, objetivando determinar a eficiência relativa da adubação fosfatada de correção, avaliar métodos de aplicação da adubação de manutenção e estabelecer as melhores combinações econômicas. Nos anos de maior déficit hídrico foram necessárias maiores quantidades de fertilizantes fosfatados para o máximo rendimento físico. A eficiência relativa da adubação de correção diminuiu com as sucessivas aplicações no sulco. No primeiro ano foram necessários 39,4 kg de P2O5/ha no sulco para produzir o equivalente a 100 kg de P2O5 aplicados a lanço. Após cinco anos, foram necessários 11,1 kg de P2O5/ha como superfosfato triplo. O maior lucro foi obtido com a aplicação de 200 kg de P2O5 total/ha como correção e 150 kg de P2O5 solúvel em água como superfosfato triplo em manutenção. Independentemente da adubação de correção, a aplicação da adubação de manutenção em faixa de 10 cm de largura por 15 cm de profundidade proporcionou lucros 15% superiores ao da adubação no sulco. O nível crítico econômico, extrator Mehlich 1 na presença da fonte solúvel, foi de 13,8 ppm de P. O fosfato de Patos de Minas foi uma fonte inadequada para adubação corretiva na cultura do milho.Corn experiments were conducted for five years on a dark red latosol, originally under “cerrado” vegetation, to study levels, application methods and sources of phosphates. The efficiency of superphosphate and Patos de Minas rock phosphate broadcasted on soil surface and incorporated in the first years was compared for five years. In the year with dry period during cropping season more phosphorus was necessary to obtain maximum yield. The relative efficiency of broadcast phosphorus fertilization decreased with successive band application. The first year 39.4 kg P2O5 ha-1 of band application was necessary to produce the equivalent grain yield of 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 as triple superphosphate broadcast. Only 11 kg P2O5 ha-1 was necessary in the row to reach the same 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 band application. The economic fertilization was broadcast 200 kg of total P2O5 ha-1 and 150 kg P2O5 ha-1 in the row annually. Independently of broadcast levels and phosphate source used at 10 cm with 15 cm depth strip increasely 15% over the conventional band application. The critical economical P available by Mehlich I extractant, was 13.8 ppm. The Patos de Minas rock phosphate was an inadequate source for broadcasting fertilization

Retrospective Cohort Study of COVID-19 in Patients of the Brazilian Public Health System with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant Infection

Several vaccines against COVID-19 are now available, based on different techniques and made by different laboratories spread around the world. With the roll out of the vaccination process in an advanced stage in many countries, the reduced risk of hospitalization due to the Omicron variant relative to the Delta variant infection, despite the higher transmission risk of Omicron, may lead to a misinterpretation of the results, as infection by Omicron is associated with a significant reduction in severe outcomes and shorter hospitalization time than the Delta variant. We compared the in-hospital mortality due to the Omicron (Jan–Mar 2022) with Gamma (Jan 2021) and Delta (Oct–Dec 2021) variants of patients in the Brazilian public health system. This study also discusses the decrease in booster vaccine effectiveness in patients hospitalized due to the Omicron variant compared with the Delta variant. Without a remodeling of vaccines for new variants, booster doses may be necessary with a shorter time interval
