ESTUDO SOBRE OS RESULTADOS DA IRRIGAÇÃO EM COLOSTOMIZADOS SUBMETIDOS A UM PROCESSO DE TREINAMENTO SISTEMATIZADO

The present study comprises the results of the use of self-irrigation by 40 colostomized patients, trained by us through a process of systematized training. The effectiveness of the training process can be checked out considering that the most part of the patients have adopted it in its basic features, pointing out a few number of technical difficulties. As to the results of self-irrigation, as a method for controlling the intestinal habit, we can say that 37,50% of the population showed an absence of fecal leakages and 42,50%, sporadic leakages between the irrigations; 27,50% and 35,00%, with absence of gases in the intervals of time and partial use of the collecting pouch, respectively.O presente estudo versa sobre os resultados do emprego da auto-irrigaçâo por 40 colostomizados, por nós treinados através de um processo de treinamento sistematizado. A efetividade do processo de treinamento pode ser constatada à medida que a maioria dos clientes o adotou em seus itens básicos, apontando pequeno número de dificuldades técnicas. Quanto aos resultados da autoirrigaçâo, como método de controle do hábito intestinal, verificou-se que 37,50% da população apresentou ausência de perdas fecais e 42,50%, perdas esporádicas entre as irrigações; 27,50% e 35,00% com ausência e redução dos gases nesses intervalos, respectivamente e 32,50% e 37,50% com abolição total e parcial do uso da bolsa coletora, respectivamente

SENTIMENTOS E SUGESTÕES MANIFESTADOS POR COLOSTOMIZADOS QUE SE AUTO-IRRIGAM

The analysis of feelings and sugestions presented by a group of colostomy patients which use a specific method of colostomy self-irrigation showed that it's well accepted by these patients. After the positive results using this method, we obtained 88,14% of the positive feelings answers specially weelbeing, safety and normality and an average of 0,35 sugestions per client.A análise dos sentimentos e das sugestões apresentadas por um grupo de colostomizados que utilizam um determinado método de auto-irrigação da colostomia para a reeducação do hábito intestinal, mostrou que ele è muito bem aceito por esta clientela.

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

Evaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries

Background Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks. Methods The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an online educational module introducing risk stratification, an intraoperative checklist, and harmonized surgical techniques. Clusters (hospital teams) were randomized to one of three arms with varied sequences of intervention/data collection by a derived stepped-wedge batch design (at least 18 hospital teams per batch). Patients were blinded to the study allocation. Low- and middle-income country enrolment was encouraged. The primary outcome (assessed by intention to treat) was anastomotic leak rate, and subgroup analyses by module completion (at least 80 per cent of surgeons, high engagement; less than 50 per cent, low engagement) were preplanned. Results A total 355 hospital teams registered, with 332 from 64 countries (39.2 per cent low and middle income) included in the final analysis. The online modules were completed by half of the surgeons (2143 of 4411). The primary analysis included 3039 of the 3268 patients recruited (206 patients had no anastomosis and 23 were lost to follow-up), with anastomotic leaks arising before and after the intervention in 10.1 and 9.6 per cent respectively (adjusted OR 0.87, 95 per cent c.i. 0.59 to 1.30; P = 0.498). The proportion of surgeons completing the educational modules was an influence: the leak rate decreased from 12.2 per cent (61 of 500) before intervention to 5.1 per cent (24 of 473) after intervention in high-engagement centres (adjusted OR 0.36, 0.20 to 0.64; P &lt; 0.001), but this was not observed in low-engagement hospitals (8.3 per cent (59 of 714) and 13.8 per cent (61 of 443) respectively; adjusted OR 2.09, 1.31 to 3.31). Conclusion Completion of globally available digital training by engaged teams can alter anastomotic leak rates. Registration number: NCT04270721 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov)
