Perfil epidemiológico das internações por neoplasia maligna de pâncreas nos últimos 5 anos no Brasil / Epidemiological profile of hospitalizations for malignant pancreatic neoplasia in the last 5 years in Brazil

A neoplasia de pâncreas caracteriza-se por sua elevada mortalidade, apesar dessa doença não ser tão comum, observa-se que, nos últimos cinco anos, no Brasil, houve um aumento gradativo no registros de internações por essa doença, destaque para as regiões Sudeste com o maior número de casos, 49,6%, seguida pela região Sul com 25,9%. No presente estudo foram analisadas as seguintes variantes: internação, caráter de atendimento, regiões do país, sexo, raça/etnia, faixa etária e número de óbitos

Introduction: This study aimed to identify the epidemiological profile of drowning victims in the State of Pará from 2010 to 2019. Objective: To trace the epidemiological profile of drowning deaths in the State of Pará from 2010 to 2019. Methods: Analysis of data obtained through the online platform of the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System (DataSus). Results: In the period, 3,144 deaths were registered due to accidental drowning and submersion, of which 82.6% were male and self-declared brown (82.54%). The age group with the highest number of cases was 20 to 29 years old, followed by the age group 1 to 4 years old. The municipalities that registered the highest number of deaths were Belém, Marabá and Santarém. Conclusion: There is a need for further discussions on the subject, as data on the characterization of the epidemiological profile of drowning victims will allow specific preventive actions for certain age groups in locations and populations where these numbers are more expressive.Introducción: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar el perfil epidemiológico de las víctimas de ahogamiento en el Estado de Pará de 2010 a 2019. Objetivo: Trazar el perfil epidemiológico de las muertes por ahogamiento en el Estado de Pará de 2010 a 2019. Métodos: Análisis de datos obtenidos mediante la plataforma en línea del Departamento de Informática del Sistema Único de Salud (DataSus). Resultados: En el período se registraron 3.144 muertes por ahogamiento accidental e inmersión, de las cuales el 82,6% fueron varones y se declararon pardos (82,54%). El grupo de edad con mayor número de casos fue el de 20 a 29 años, seguido del grupo de 1 a 4 años. Los municipios que registraron el mayor número de muertes fueron Belém, Marabá y Santarém. Conclusión: Es necesario profundizar en el debate sobre el tema, ya que los datos sobre la caracterización del perfil epidemiológico de las víctimas de ahogamiento permitirán acciones preventivas específicas para determinados grupos de edad en localizaciones y poblaciones donde estos números son más expresivos.Introdução: Este trabalho teve o intuito de identificar o perfil epidemiológico das vítimas de afogamento do Estado do Pará entre o ano de 2010 a 2019.

Métodos: Análise dos dados obtidos através da plataforma online do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DataSus). Resultados: No período, foram registrados 3.144 óbitos por afogamento e submersão acidentais, desses, 82,6% eram do sexo masculino e autodeclarados pardos (82,54%). A faixa etária com maior número de casos foi de 20 a 29 anos seguida pela faixa etária de 1 a 4 anos. Os municípios que registraram maior número de mortes foram Belém, Marabá e Santarém. Conclusão: Há necessidade de maiores discussões sobre o assunto, pois dados sobre a caracterização do perfil epidemiológico das vítimas de afogamento permitirá ações preventivas específicas para determinadas faixas etárias em localidades e populações onde estes números são mais expressivos

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.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.
