TRATAMENTO CONSERVADOR DA PERIODONTITE AGRESSIVA: RELATO DE CASO

Introdução: A Periodontite Agressiva é considerada rara, caracteriza-se por rápida destruição das estruturas de suporte dos dentes em conjunto com níveis de placa não significantes ao grau de destruição, em indivíduos sistematicamente saudáveis. Além disso, a ocorrência familiar dos casos é outra característica da Periodontite Agressiva. Trata-se de uma doença complexa, com muitos fatores relacionados à sua manifestação: variações genéticas individuais; deficiência na resposta imunológica e microbiota subgengival patogênica. Com estas características, se torna importante elucidá-las para um tratamento correto ao paciente com Periodontite Agressiva. Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar um caso clínico onde se realizou o tratamento não cirúrgico da Periodontite Agressiva associado à antimicrobianos sistêmicos. Relato de Caso: a paciente no presente estudo foi diagnosticada comPeriodontite Agressiva Generalizada, onde o tratamento foi realizado na Clínica de Especialização de Periodontia da Faculdade de Odontologia de Valença no período de 2013 a 2015 e retornando no ano de 2018. O tratamento realizado foi conservador através de raspagem e alisamento radicular ultrassônico e manual em conjunto com antimicrobianos. A manutenção foi trimestral até o ano de 2015. Conclusão: Na Periodontite Agressiva é imperativo dar ênfase à progressão rápida, a pouca quantidade de placa e à agregação familiar para um diagnóstico rápido e a realização de um tratamento correto através de raspagem e alisamento radicular associado com antibioticoterapia, caracterizando o tratamento conservador. Entretanto, a terapia de manutenção e a cooperação do paciente são essenciais para alcançar sucesso no tratamento

Doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica no cenário da pandemia da COVID-19: guia de orientações e exercícios

This e-book was prepared by the group of researchers, professors and students from the Research Laboratory in Pulmonary Evaluation and Rehabilitation at UFRJ (LiRP / UFRJ) and had the collaboration of a multiprofessional team with extensive experience in Pulmonary Rehabilitation. The e-book originated from a demand from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), their caregivers, family and friends in relation to the better management of this disease during the COVID-19 pandemic.Esse e-book foi elaborado pelo grupo de pesquisadores, professores e alunos do Laboratório de Investigação em Avaliação e Reabilitação Pulmonar da UFRJ (LiRP/UFRJ) e contou com a colaboração de uma equipe multiprofissional com vasta experiência em Reabilitação Pulmonar.

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

Growing knowledge: an overview of Seed Plant diversity in Brazil

Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil is home to 32,086 native Angiosperms and 23 native Gymnosperms, showing an increase of 3% in its species richness in relation to 2010. The Amazon Rainforest is the richest Brazilian biome for Gymnosperms, while the Atlantic Rainforest is the richest one for Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment in the number of species and endemism rates for biomes, except for the Amazon that showed a decrease of 2.5% of recorded endemics. However, well over half of Brazillian seed plant species (57.4%) is endemic to this territory. The proportion of life-forms varies among different biomes: trees are more expressive in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest biomes while herbs predominate in the Pampa, and lianas are more expressive in the Amazon, Atlantic Rainforest, and Pantanal. This compilation serves not only to quantify Brazilian biodiversity, but also to highlight areas where there information is lacking and to provide a framework for the challenge faced in conserving Brazil's unique and diverse flora
