Fire and flooding resilience in Mimosa L. of the Brazilian Pantanal

PosterThe Pantanal ecoregion, in south-central Brazil, is one of the largest foodplains in the world. Cycles of fooding and periodic fre have been determinant to the diversity of species in the ecoregion. In the fora of Pantanal, Leguminosae is one of the most rich families, and Mimosa is its most diversifed genus. Species of this genus are widely distributed and occur in the capões, sandy ridges and monominant stands (e.g. Cambarazal, Carandazal and Paratudal), in addition to native grasslands and pasture areas. In the Cerrado ecoregion, adaptations to fre have been recognized in some species of Mimosa. However, there is no data in the Pantanal ecoregion about which species of Mimosa are resilient to fre and/or fooding. This study aimed to investigate morphological adaptation in Mimosa in terms of resilience to fre and fooding. We verifed 45 specifc and infraspecifc taxa of Mimosa occurring in the Brazilian Pantanal, by means of the revision of literature, herbarium data, personal observations, plant collections and feld notesInstituto de Recursos BiológicosFil: Nogueira, Luan.

Global disparities in surgeons’ workloads, academic engagement and rest periods: the on-calL shIft fOr geNEral SurgeonS (LIONESS) study

: The workload of general surgeons is multifaceted, encompassing not only surgical procedures but also a myriad of other responsibilities. From April to May 2023, we conducted a CHERRIES-compliant internet-based survey analyzing clinical practice, academic engagement, and post-on-call rest. The questionnaire featured six sections with 35 questions. Statistical analysis used Chi-square tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression (SPSS® v. 28). The survey received a total of 1.046 responses (65.4%). Over 78.0% of responders came from Europe, 65.1% came from a general surgery unit; 92.8% of European and 87.5% of North American respondents were involved in research, compared to 71.7% in Africa. Europe led in publishing research studies (6.6 ± 8.6 yearly). Teaching involvement was high in North America (100%) and Africa (91.7%). Surgeons reported an average of 6.7 ± 4.9 on-call shifts per month, with European and North American surgeons experiencing 6.5 ± 4.9 and 7.8 ± 4.1 on-calls monthly, respectively. African surgeons had the highest on-call frequency (8.7 ± 6.1). Post-on-call, only 35.1% of respondents received a day off. Europeans were most likely (40%) to have a day off, while African surgeons were least likely (6.7%). On the adjusted multivariable analysis HDI (Human Development Index) (aOR 1.993) hospital capacity > 400 beds (aOR 2.423), working in a specialty surgery unit (aOR 2.087), and making the on-call in-house (aOR 5.446), significantly predicted the likelihood of having a day off after an on-call shift. Our study revealed critical insights into the disparities in workload, access to research, and professional opportunities for surgeons across different continents, underscored by the HDI

Importância da detecção de patologias do desenvolvimento na anóxia neonatal e da intervenção fisioterápica

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor e a necessidade de estimulação nos 27 casos com recuperação parcial e diagnóstico de anóxia neonatal atendidos no ano de 1988 na UTI de Recém-Nascidos (RN) do Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria-RS. Foi relacionado o diagnóstico de patologia neurológica e a indicação fisioterápica no momento da alta hospitalar. Os RN foram avaliados segundo abordagem neuroevolutiva em visitas domiciliares a 10 casos. Os resultados revelaram a necessidade de intervenção fisioterápica nos casos de anóxia neonatal
