Reproductive biology of the pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus): a review
The pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) is a South American grazing deer which is in extreme danger of extinction. Very little is known about the biology of the pampas deer. Moreover, most information has not been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and is only available in local publications, theses, etc. Therefore, our aim was to update and summarize the available information regarding the reproductive biology of the pampas deer. Moreover, in most sections, we have also included new, unpublished information. Detailed descriptions are provided of the anatomy of both the female and the male reproductive tract, puberty onset, the oestrous cycle and gestational length. Birthing and the early postpartum period are described, as are maternal behaviour and early fawn development, seasonal distribution of births, seasonal changes in male reproduction and antler cycle, reproductive behaviour, semen collection, and cryopreservation. Finally, an overview is given and future directions of research are proposed
The reference site collaborative network of the european innovation partnership on active and healthy ageing
Seventy four Reference Sites of the European Innovation
Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA)
have been recognised by the European Commission in
2016 for their commitment to excellence in investing and
scaling up innovative solutions for active and healthy
ageing. The Reference Site Collaborative Network
(RSCN) brings together the EIP on AHA Reference Sites
awarded by the European Commission, and Candidate
Reference Sites into a single forum. The overarching goals
are to promote cooperation, share and transfer good
practice and solutions in the development and scaling up
of health and care strategies, policies and service delivery
models, while at the same time supporting the action
groups in their work. The RSCN aspires to be recognized
by the EU Commission as the principal forum and
authority representing all EIP on AHA Reference Sites.
The RSCN will contribute to achieve the goals of the EIP
on AHA by improving health and care outcomes for
citizens across Europe, and the development of sustainable
economic growth and the creation of jobs
Measurement of charged jet suppression in Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV
A measurement of the transverse momentum spectra of jets in Pb-Pb collisions at âsNN = 2.76TeV is reported. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti-k T jet algorithm with jet resolution parameters R of 0.2 and 0.3 in pseudo-rapidity |η| < 0.5. The transverse momentum p T of charged particles is measured down to 0.15 GeV/c which gives access to the low p T fragments of the jet. Jets found in heavy-ion collisions are corrected event-by-event for average background density and on an inclusive basis (via unfolding) for residual background fluctuations and detector effects. A strong suppression of jet production in central events with respect to peripheral events is observed. The suppression is found to be similar to the suppression of charged hadrons, which suggests that substantial energy is radiated at angles larger than the jet resolution parameter R = 0.3 considered in the analysis. The fragmentation bias introduced by selecting jets with a high p T leading particle, which rejects jets with a soft fragmentation pattern, has a similar effect on the jet yield for central and peripheral events. The ratio of jet spectra with R = 0.2 and R = 0.3 is found to be similar in Pb-Pb and simulated PYTHIA pp events, indicating no strong broadening of the radial jet structure in the reconstructed jets with R < 0.3
Anti-sepsia para administração de medicamentos por via endovenosa e intramuscular
A pele abriga vasta microbiota, que poderĂĄ penetrar camadas mais internas durante a aplicação de medicamentos por via parenteral, daĂ a importĂąncia da anti-sepsia para este procedimento. Objetivamos identificar a utilização da anti-sepsia para a administração de medicamentos por via endovenosa e intramuscular como medida de prevenção de infecção. Estudo descritivo, realizado com a equipe de enfermagem, em oito unidades de um hospital de ensino do municĂpio de GoiĂąnia-Go. Os dados foram obtidos mediante observação e preenchimento de check-list. Observamos 212 profissionais. Quanto Ă via de administração, 19,8% dos procedimentos foram realizados por via EV direta, 72,6% por via EV com sistema jĂĄ instalado e 7,6% por via IM. A maioria dos profissionais, 79,2%, nĂŁo lavou as mĂŁos antes de realizar o procedimento. Das 154 medicaçÔes feitas em sistema venoso jĂĄ instalado, nĂŁo foi realizada a desinfecção do injetor de borracha em 47 (30,5%). No que se refere Ă anti-sepsia, 72,4% das medicaçÔes realizadas por via EV e 27,6% por via IM, utilizaram o anti-sĂ©ptico em todas as situaçÔes mas, em apenas 40,5% das injeçÔes EV e em 37,5% das IM foram feitos os cinco ou mais movimentos em um mesmo sentido com o algodĂŁo embebido com ĂĄlcool a 70%, que Ă© o procedimento preconizado para a realização da anti-sepsia da pele. ApĂłs a anti-sepsia, 25 profissionais tocaram o local, contaminando-o, destes apenas 13 (52,0%) fizeram nova anti-sepsia, portanto, houve a recontaminação em 12 situaçÔes. Os dados revelam que medidas necessĂĄrias Ă prevenção de infecção, na administração de medicamentos via parenteral nem sempre sĂŁo adotadas, representando um desafio Ă educação permanente e do controle de infecção no hospital em estudo

An international assessment of the adoption of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERASÂź) principles across colorectal units in 2019â2020
AimThe Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERASÂź) Society guidelines aim to standardize perioperative care in colorectal surgery via 25 principles. We aimed to assess the variation in uptake of these principles across an international network of colorectal units.MethodAn online survey was circulated amongst European Society of Coloproctology members in 2019â2020. For each ERAS principle, respondents were asked to score how frequently the principle was implemented in their hospital, from 1 (ârarelyâ) to 4 (âalwaysâ). Respondents were also asked to recall whether practice had changed since 2017. Subgroup analyses based on hospital characteristics were conducted.ResultsOf hospitals approached, 58% responded to the survey (195/335), with 296 individual responses (multiple responses were received from some hospitals). The majority were European (163/195, 83.6%). Overall, respondents indicated they âmost oftenâ or âalwaysâ adhered to most individual ERAS principles (18/25, 72%). Variability in the uptake of principles was reported, with universal uptake of some principles (e.g., prophylactic antibiotics; early mobilization) and inconsistency from ârarelyâ to âalwaysâ in others (e.g., no nasogastric intubation; no preoperative fasting and carbohydrate drinks). In alignment with 2018 ERAS guideline updates, adherence to principles for prehabilitation, managing anaemia and postoperative nutrition appears to have increased since 2017.ConclusionsUptake of ERAS principles varied across hospitals, and not all 25 principles were equally adhered to. Whilst some principles exhibited a high level of acceptance, others had a wide variability in uptake indicative of controversy or barriers to uptake. Further research into specific principles is required to improve ERAS implementation.AimThe Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERASÂź) Society guidelines aim to standardize perioperative care in colorectal surgery via 25 principles.
