Spatial Pattern of Standing Timber Value across the Brazilian Amazon
The Amazon is a globally important system, providing a host of ecosystem services from climate regulation to food sources. It is also home to a quarter of all global diversity. Large swathes of forest are removed each year, and many models have attempted to predict the spatial patterns of this forest loss. The spatial patterns of deforestation are determined largely by the patterns of roads that open access to frontier areas and expansion of the road network in the Amazon is largely determined by profit seeking logging activities. Here we present predictions for the spatial distribution of standing value of timber across the Amazon. We show that the patterns of timber value reflect large-scale ecological gradients, determining the spatial distribution of functional traits of trees which are, in turn, correlated with timber values. We expect that understanding the spatial patterns of timber value across the Amazon will aid predictions of logging movements and thus predictions of potential future road developments. These predictions in turn will be of great use in estimating the spatial patterns of deforestation in this globally important biome

Transcriptome sequencing of gingival biopsies from chronic periodontitis patients reveals novel gene expression and splicing patterns
Omics-based molecular techniques in oral pathology centred cancer: Prospect and challenges in Africa
: The completion of the human genome project and the accomplished milestones in the human
proteome project; as well as the progress made so far in computational bioinformatics and “big data” processing have
contributed immensely to individualized/personalized medicine in the developed world.At the dawn of precision medicine, various omics-based therapies and bioengineering can now be
applied accurately for the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and risk stratifcation of cancer in a manner that was
hitherto not thought possible. The widespread introduction of genomics and other omics-based approaches into
the postgraduate training curriculum of diverse medical and dental specialties, including pathology has improved
the profciency of practitioners in the use of novel molecular signatures in patient management. In addition, intricate
details about disease disparity among diferent human populations are beginning to emerge. This would facilitate the
use of tailor-made novel theranostic methods based on emerging molecular evidences
A peregrinação das gestantes no MunicĂpio do Rio de Janeiro: perfil de Ăłbitos e nascimentos La peregrinaciĂłn de las gestantes en lo municipio del rio de janeiro: perfil de obitos y nacimiento The peregrination of the pregnants in rio de janeiro city: deaths and births profile
Trata-se de um estudo ecolĂłgico. Objetivou-se analisar as trajetĂłrias dos nascimentos no municĂpio do Rio de Janeiro e identificar a relação entre oferta de serviços de saĂşde e fluxo de gestantes entre local de residĂŞncia e a maternidade. Foram utilizados dados dos Sistemas de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) de 2004. O processamento e mapeamento dos dados foram feitos atravĂ©s do programa TabWin. O SINASC processou 99.042 declarações de nascidos vivos e o SIM processou 1.318 declarações de Ăłbitos em menores de um ano no MunicĂpio do Rio de Janeiro. Concluiu-se que a possibilidade de intervenção no perfil da mortalidade infantil e materna desloca-se cada vez mais para a esfera dos serviços de saĂşde, e o acesso Ă assistĂŞncia de qualidade tem papel fundamental na determinação da mortalidade. Deve-se investigar a existĂŞncia de desigualdades no acesso a tais serviços.<br>Tratase de un estudio ecolĂłgico que tiene como objetivo analizar las trayectorias de los nacimientos en lo Municipio del Rio de Janeiro y identificar la relaciĂłn entre oferta de servicios de la salud y del flujo de gestantes entre el lugar de la residencia y la maternidad.

It was used the data available in the Mortality Information System (MIS) and Live Birth Information System (LBIS) in 2004. The TabWin program processed the data and drew the maps. The LBIS processed 99,042 declarations of live birth and MIS processed 1,318 declarations of deaths in less than one year old in the Rio Janeiro City. The conclusion was that the possibility of intervention in the infantile and maternal mortality profile has happened at the health services, and the access to the quality assistance has fundamental hole in the mortality determination. The existence of access inequalities to the services must be investigated
