Primer registro de Amorphinopsis atlantica Carvalho, Hadju, Mothes & van Soest, 2004 (Familia: Halichondriidae) para un sistema lagunar del golfo de México

Pela primeira vez é registrada a presença de Amorphinopsis atlantica em um sistema lagunar do golfo do México. Esta esponja foi reportada no Brasil onde tem preferência por instalar-se sobre costas rochosas e em estuários. As observações e coleta de espécimes provêm da lagoa de Tampamachoco, localizada ao norte de Veracruz, México. Os exemplares registrados foram observados como epibiontes em bancos ostrícolas de Isognomon alatus, onde se destacaram por sua colocação amarela e sua forma incrustante massiva com ramificações prolongadas. Apresenta megascleras oxeas (331-774/7-16 μm; comprimento/largura) e estilos (138-205/5-9 μm; comprimento/largura). Com base nas observações realizadas de 2015 até hoje, considera-se que a A. atlantica é uma espécie estabelecida no sistema lagunar. O presente registro aumenta o âmbito de distribuição original da A. atlantica em direção às costas do golfo do México.Amorphinopsis atlantica is recorded for the first time in a lagoon system of the Gulf of Mexico. This sponge was reported in Brazil where it prefers to settle on rocky shores and estuaries. Specimens were observed and collected from the Tampamachoco lagoon in northern Veracruz, Mexico. Subjects observed were epibionts on Isognomon alatus oyster beds, standing out for their yellow coloration and massively encrusting form with prolonged branches. Megascleres both oxeas (331-774/7-16 μm; length/width) and styles (138-205/5-9 μm; length/width) were present. Based on the observations made from 2015 to date, A. atlantica is considered to be a species well established in the lagoon system. This record increases the original distribution range of A. atlantica towards the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico.Se registra por primera vez la presencia de Amorphinopsis atlantica en un sistema lagunar del golfo de México.

Descubrimiento de conocimiento en incidencia de tipo de cáncer para pacientes terminales mediante minería de datos

The objective of this work is to analyze the incidence of the type of cancer and its main manifestations in the terminal stage through data mining. We analyzed 288 data from 22 patients, provided by the Palliative Care Unit of the Hospital Regional 1 de Octubre. The evaluated variables were gender, year, age, diagnosis and symptom. The algorithm J48 corresponding to the algorithm C4.5 was used for the classification. The highest incidence of mortality according to the type of cancer is highlighted: lung, colon, rectum, breast and prostate. As for pain, it is higher in young patients, while in patients aged 65 or less, 39% and only 23% of the restSe analiza la incidencia del tipo de cáncer y sus principales manifestaciones en la etapa terminal mediante la minería de datos. Se analizaron 288 datos de 22 pacientes, los cuales proporcionó la unidad de cuidados paliativos del Hospital Regional 1° de Octubre. Las variables evaluadas fueron género, año, edad, diagnóstico y síntoma. Para la clasificación se utilizó el algoritmo J48 correspondiente al algoritmo C4.5. La mayor incidencia de mortalidad, de acuerdo con el tipo de cáncer, se da en el de pulmón, colon, recto, mama y el de próstata. En cuanto al dolor, se presenta en mayor medida en pacientes jóvenes, mientras que en pacientes de 65 años o menos 39% y sólo en 23% de los restantes

Effects of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery: an international prospective cohort study an international prospective cohort study

We aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery during the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We performed an international prospective cohort study including patients undergoing elective surgery in October 2020. Isolation was defined as the period before surgery during which patients did not leave their house or receive visitors from outside their household. The primary outcome was postoperative pulmonary complications, adjusted in multivariable models for measured confounders. Pre-defined sub-group analyses were performed for the primary outcome. A total of 96,454 patients from 114 countries were included and overall, 26,948 (27.9%) patients isolated before surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded in 1947 (2.0%) patients of which 227 (11.7%) were associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who isolated pre-operatively were older, had more respiratory comorbidities and were more commonly from areas of high SARS-CoV-2 incidence and high-income countries. Although the overall rates of postoperative pulmonary complications were similar in those that isolated and those that did not (2.1% vs 2.0%, respectively), isolation was associated with higher rates of postoperative pulmonary complications after adjustment (adjusted OR 1.20, 95%CI 1.05–1.36, p = 0.005). Sensitivity analyses revealed no further differences when patients were categorised by: pre-operative testing; use of COVID-19-free pathways; or community SARS-CoV-2 prevalence. The rate of postoperative pulmonary complications increased with periods of isolation longer than 3 days, with an OR (95%CI) at 4–7 days or ≥ 8 days of 1.25 (1.04–1.48), p = 0.015 and 1.31 (1.11–1.55), p = 0.001, respectively. Isolation before elective surgery might be associated with a small but clinically important increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Longer periods of isolation showed no reduction in the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. These findings have significant implications for global provision of elective surgical care.
