O presente artigo foi elaborado com base na leitura de capítulos de livros e artigos selecionados por consulta em base de dados da Scielo e da PubMed, nos últimos dez anos, tendo como objetivo discutir aspectos do uso de medicamentos por idosos. Esse tema torna-se particularmente importante face ao aumento da população idosa e ao emprego de vários medicamentos por este grupo etário e à ocorrência relativamente comum de prescrições inadequadas, associações redundantes e interações medicamentosas potencialmente prejudiciais. É importante verificar a qualidade da administração de medicamentos aos idosos, assim como relacionar o tipo de droga utilizada com o perfil do indivíduo, levando-se em consideração, além do estado fisiopatológico, fatores como sexo, idade e condições socioeconômicas. A compreensão dos padrões de utilização de medicamentos pelos idosos é essencial para o planejamento e estabelecimento de melhoras nos serviços de atenção à saúde.

The dataset gathers available regulations of human activities and protection levels of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) of the European Union (EU). The MPA list and polygons were extracted from the MPA database of the European Environment Agency (EEA) and completed with available zoning systems (all were filtered for their marine area reported under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive). Fully-overlapping MPAs were merged. In the resulting dataset, MPA features are provided (gathered from EEA, WDPA, ProtectedSeas), including the year of designation, designation types (e.g., national, Natura 2000) and subtypes (e.g., reserves, national parks), database identifiers (WDPA, Natura 2000, OSPAR, etc.), IUCN categories, and main protection focus. We provide summarized data on maritime activities that overlap with MPA polygons from two types of datasets: activities-focused datasets (national marine spatial plans, and additional European and regional databases, like EMODnet) and MPA-focused datasets gathering data from management plans (ProtectedSeas, expert-based assessments about OSPAR and Portuguese MPAs). This dataset therefore compiles data that could be gathered from accessible legal frameworks regarding aquaculture, fisheries, anchoring, infrastructures (including harbors and renewable energy), mining, transport, coastal land-based uses (desalinization, sewage plants) and other non-extractive uses (e.g., recreational), making them readily accessible. Using the MPA Guide classification system, we computed two scenarios of potential impact for each activity, which were used to assess two scenarios of protection levels per MPA. Some MPAs could not be associated with any MPA features, regulations, or protection levels. Finally, we detail the protocol to match information from multiple databases (e.g., with MPA polygons formatted differently) and provide a quality check by comparing this dataset to previous assessments.This dataset was used to analyze MPAs’ protection levels across countries, regions and MPA features (e.g., IUCN categories, designations). It was also used to investigate the sources of information available and the levels of regulations for each maritime activity in EU MPAs. This dataset can therefore be used for further analyses on the use of EU MPAS to regulate activities and to compare with future assessments or with additional data we did not have access to (e.g., gathered at national scale). Such research is crucial to plan and monitor the implementation of the EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, targeting 10% of strictly protected MPAs in each sea region.

O estudo avalia o uso da condutividade elétrica como método alternativo no controle da compactação de Pilhas de Disposição de Rejeito de Mineração (PDR). As curvas de compactação do rejeito em laboratório foram obtidas na Energia Normal e, sobre essas mesmas amostras, foram também realizadas medidas de condutividade elétrica. O equipamento para aferição das medidas elétricas foi construído para uma tensão contínua de 12V, utilizando dois eletrodos de haste de aço inoxidável, com ponta biselada, com 70 mm de comprimento e 40 mm de espaçamento entre eles. Os resultados indicaram que o grau de compactação (GC) do rejeito de mineração varia com a condutividade elétrica conforme uma função quadrática. Os valores da condutividade elétrica para um mesmo GC são maiores na compactação de campo, cuja curva se aproxima mais da compactação manual controlada em laboratório. Conclui-se que, para obter um GC=100%, ou maior, em relação à Energia Normal, a camada compactada do rejeito de mineração no campo deve apresentar uma condutividade elétrica igual ou superior a 0,23 mS/cm.

Introdução: A contaminação de hemoculturas impacta significativamente os seus resultados, levando a consequências perniciosas que compreendem desde a exposição desnecessária a antimicrobianos até o aumento do tempo de hospitalização. Intervenções educacionais para melhores práticas de coleta compõem uma estratégia de baixo custo que pode influenciar as taxas de contaminações, contribuindo para melhor uso dessa ferramenta diagnóstica. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto de intervenção educacional nos resultados de hemoculturas em três unidades com alta taxa de coleta em hospital público terciário e analisar os conhecimentos dos profissionais sobre hemoculturas. Método: Avaliou-se os conhecimentos sobre hemoculturas de médicos residentes e internos, pré e pós-intervenção, em três unidades com alta taxa de coleta e realizou-se treinamento sobre a coleta adequada ao longo de quatro meses. Analisou-se retrospectivamente os resultados de hemoculturas nos quatro meses anteriores ao estudo para posterior comparação com os resultados obtidos nos quatro meses em que o estudo ocorreu. Resultados: Após a intervenção, houve redução nas taxas de contaminação nas três unidades avaliadas, variando de 35,71% para 21,88% na unidade de emergências cirúrgicas, de 18,07% para 11,93% na unidade de emergências clínicas, e de 10,17% para 2,70% na enfermaria de clínica médica. Houve aumento global nas taxas de coletas em todas as unidades, variando de 161 para um total de 215 coletas. Temas como tempo de positivação, distribuição de volume insuficiente de sangue nos frascos de cultura, número de frascos e volume ideal de sangue coletado em um adulto e interpretação de resultados com contaminantes apresentaram elevadas taxas de erros no questionário pré-treinamento. Após o treinamento, observou-se melhora do desempenho no questionário de avaliação em nove das 10 questões propostas e a média geral de acertos variou de 61,70% para 81,50%. As mulheres foram o gênero mais prevalente e o treinamento teve menos efeito nos profissionais com menor tempo de formação. Conclusão: O treinamento sobre coletas reduziu significativamente as taxas de contaminações em todas as unidades avaliadas. Observou-se grandes déficits nos conhecimentos sobre hemoculturas pelos profissionais e o treinamento contribuiu para uma melhora do desempenho no questionário de avaliação. A intervenção educacional demonstrou-se como alternativa de baixo custo para reduzir as taxas de contaminações em unidades com alta demanda desse exame.

Introdução: O Programa de Racionalização de Antimicrobianos (PRA) tem a finalidade de combater infecções de forma responsável, minimizando a ocorrência de resistências bacterianas. Objetivo: Avaliar a evolução das solicitações de antimicrobianos no PRA do Hospital Heliópolis durante período de oito anos. Método: Estudo observacional, transversal e retrospectivo com dados de janeiro de 2016 a dezembro de 2023. São controlados: anidulafungina, linezolida, polimixina B, ampicilina-sulbactam, cefepima, meropenem, tigeciclina, daptomicina, piperacilina-tazobactam (PipT) e vancomicina. Resultados: Houve redução de 25% na solicitação anual de antimicrobianos entre 2016 e 2023. Apesar disso, notou-se até 60% de acréscimo em inadequações de solicitações no ano de maior pico (2022). A PipT tornou-se o antimicrobiano mais prescrito (média: 29.8%) em detrimento à cefepima. PipT teve aumento em sua prescrição de 47%. Pneumonia hospitalar (PH) é a principal causa de IRAS em pacientes com necessidade de antimicrobianos controlados (27.51%) e as unidades críticas respondem por 53.8% das prescrições. Prescrições de antimicrobianos de amplo espectro tais como ceftazidima avibactam, polimixina B e ampicilina sulbactam (dose alta) não demonstraram aumento significativo. Conclusão: A implantação de visitas clínicas nas unidades críticas com objetivo de treinamento no período explica a melhoria do número de solicitações.A principal causa de inadequações ainda é a prescrição em dose errada, e esforços ainda devem ser adaptados para avaliação inicial farmacêutica e prescrições eletrônicas com protocolos de ajustes de dose. O perfil preponderante de prescrição com mudança de uma cefalosporina de quarta geração para PipT confirma a necessidade de manter o controle deste antimicrobiano, indicado apenas para infecções específicas do ambiente hospitalar. A pandemia pelo SARS-COV aumentou internações em unidades críticas e a cronicidade de pacientes em ventilação mecânica aumentou a número de bactérias com perfil hospitalar, que pode ter tido impacto no perfil do antimicrobiano mais comumente prescrito. Apesar de trabalhosos e com aspectos passíveis de falhas, os programas de racionalização de antimicrobianos ainda são essenciais no controle da dispensação, impactando diretamente na resistência e qualidade da prescrição. A visão em hospitais terciários deve ser mais agressiva no controle, exatamente pelo maior risco de seleção de bactérias multirresistentes.

Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs ,RC633-647.5 - Abstract
Introdução: A evolução da automação laboratorial, se mostra cada vez mais vantajosa, evidenciando alta correlação entre avaliação microscópica e equipamentos automatizados, a partir de validações bem elaboradas e executadas, confirmando assim a sensibilidade, confiabilidade, além da agilidade obtida dentro da rotina de um laboratório de Hematologia. A utilização de parâmetros avançados do hemograma automatizado como os Granulócitos Imaturos (IG), nos permite direcionamento para análises específicas. Os IG são células encontradas na medula óssea e podem ser encontrados no sangue periférico devido a alguma alteração do organismo. São precursores neutrofílicos que são divididos de acordo com o grau de maturação oriundo dos mieloblastos. A contagem do IG automatizado mostra um aumento da atividade medular e pode ser utilizado com indicador precoce de infecções agudas, respostas inflamatórias e distúrbios mieloproliferativos, resultando em diagnóstico precoce e a devida intervenção médica. A organização do fluxo de trabalho deve ser implantada a partir de diretrizes bem estabelecidas e validadas, com determinação de valores de corte da automação para revisão de lâminas da população assistida em variabilidade dos achados, em função da interpretação morfológica entre os microscopistas. Objetivos: Melhorar e padronizar os formatos para revisão de lâmina para o parâmetro de Granulócitos Imaturos (IG) através da determinação de um novo valor de corte, diminuindo o tempo de liberação e mantendo a qualidade dos resultados liberados principalmente no atendimento às diversas complexidades. Métodos: Este estudo contou com amostras de sangue, coletadas de 23 de março de 2024 a 01 de abril de 2024, enviadas para análise de rotina com o pedido de hemograma para o Laboratório de Hematologia do Hospital de Clínicas da UNICAMP (Campinas-SP). As amostras (n = 334) foram incluídas no estudo, após a obtenção dos resultados no equipamento XN 9000 da Sysmex, As amostras foram consideradas positivas quando apresentavam uma contagem de IG do equipamento superior a 1%. A concordância quantitativa nas contagens de granulócitos imaturos entre as duas abordagens foi avaliada utilizando a correlação de Pearson. Resultados/Discussão: Das 334 amostras analisadas, 37,42% (125) estavam entre 1% e 2%, 20,36% (68) entre 2,1% e 3% e 42,51% (142) acima de 3,1%, independente do número de leucócitos. Das 44 amostras falso positivas: 75% (33) estavam entre 1% e 2%, 25% (11) estavam entre 2,1% e 3%. A análise estatística demonstrou uma forte correlação de Pearson com r = 0,82 entre IG do equipamento e IG visualizado na microscopia. Das amostras positivas para microscopia geral, não obtivemos nenhuma apresentando resultado falso negativo para IG. Conclusão: Os resultados encontrados, evidenciam uma forte concordância entre os resultados quantitativos de granulócitos imaturos obtidos entre automação e microscopia para o valor de corte > 1%, sendo possível aumentar esse valor para as revisões, sem que haja nenhum impacto negativo para tomada de decisão clínica, mas impactando positivamente na otimização do fluxo de trabalho e consequentemente reduzindo o tempo de liberação de resultados.

Introdução: A infecção por Dengue é transmitida pelo mosquito Aedes aegypti e constitui um grande problema de saúde pública, principalmente em regiões tropicais, onde o meio ambiente favorece sua proliferação e apresenta significativa morbidade. As epidemias de Dengue têm apresentado um problema recorrente no setor de saúde pública, caracterizado por surtos intermitentes de casos e uma extensão das regiões afetadas. As manifestações da Dengue são muito complexas, com quadro febril e de evolução benigna na sua forma clássica, mas agressiva na sua forma grave, sendo uma das mais importantes arboviroses que afeta o homem. Os achados laboratoriais no hemograma são importantes para a caracterização fisiopatológica da gravidade, através de valores crescentes do hematócrito com a hemoconcentração e diminuição das plaquetas nas manifestações hemorrágicas. Na Dengue Clássica, a leucopenia é achado usual (embora possa ocorrer leucocitose), pode estar presente linfocitose com reatividade linfocitária e a trombocitopenia é observada ocasionalmente. Na Dengue Grave a contagem de leucócitos é variável, podendo ocorrer desde a leucopenia até a leucocitose leve, e a linfocitose com reatividade linfocitária é um achado comum. Destacam-se a concentração de hematócrito e a trombocitopenia, com contagem de plaquetas abaixo de 100.000/mm3. Objetivos: Analisar o perfil de hemogramas realizados no período de 12/01/2024 a 26/02/2024 de casos positivos para Dengue. Métodos: Este estudo contou com amostras de sangue positivas para Dengue, coletadas no período de 12/01/2024 a 26/02/2024, enviadas para análise de rotina com o pedido de hemograma para o Laboratório de Hematologia do Hospital de Clínicas da UNICAMP (Campinas-SP). As amostras (n = 59) foram incluídas no estudo, independentemente da idade, que variou de 20 anos a 75 anos. As amostras foram processadas no analisador automatizado (Sysmex XN-9000). Para todas as amostras de sangue foram confeccionados os esfregaços, os quais foram avaliados por microscopia pelos profissionais do laboratório. As análises estatísticas utilizadas foram descritiva e correlação de Pearson. Resultados/Discussão: Das amostras analisadas, 39% (23) foram do sexo feminino e 61% (36) do sexo masculino. 1,69% (1 amostra) apresentou contagem de leucócitos acima de 10 × 103/mm3, 37,3% (22 amostras) apresentaram leucócitos abaixo de 4 × 103/mm3 e 61% (36 amostras) estavam dentro dos valores de referência. Plaquetopenia foi observada em 10,2% das amostras (6 amostras), que cursaram com presença expressiva de linfócitos reativos. Não houve correlação entre o número total de leucócitos e o número de plaquetas com um r = -0.0408. Quando comparamos número de plaquetas e presença de linfócitos reativos obtivemos uma correlação moderada negativa de r = -0.5008. 66,7% das amostras (4 amostras) com plaquetopenia também cursaram com leucopenia. Entre as amostras analisadas, 89,83% (53 amostras) apresentaram plaquetas acima de 100 x 103/mm3, sendo 33,97% (18 amostras) com leucopenia. Conclusão: O perfil dos resultados obtidos no Hemograma em pacientes positivos para Dengue são compatíveis com a dados da literatura. O agravamento desta arbovirose apresentou ao hemograma resultados de plaquetopenia, presença de linfócitos reativos e em alguns casos a leucopenia. Na Dengue clássica também obtivemos dados que corroboram com achados da literatura.

Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a critical tool for safeguarding marine species and habitats for the future, though the effects of projected climate change raise concerns about their long-term success. Assessing the degree to which MPAs may be exposed to future novel climatic conditions is, therefore, crucial for informing conservation and management actions aimed at ensuring a resilient and thriving ocean in the years to come. Here, we evaluate the future exposure of 398 threatened and commercially important species to novel and extremely novel climatic conditions within European MPAs. We estimated climate novelty through multivariate analyses considering biologically meaningful distribution drivers of temperature, oxygen, pH, and primary productivity from present-day to the end of the 21st-century conditions under contrasting shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) scenarios—low emission scenario (SSP1–1.9) and high emission scenario (SSP5–8.5). Our findings suggest that, under SSP1–1.9, ~6.5% of species and 0.5% of European MPAs will be at risk due to future novel conditions. In contrast, under SSP5–8.5, 87% of MPAs and 80% of species are projected to be at risk. Notably, up to 100% of species currently located in the MPAs of enclosed and semi-enclosed seas like the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea are projected to be exposed to novel or even extremely novel conditions. Virtually all species in most of those regions will be at risk, suggesting that even new MPAs might not be able to adequately protect them. Comparatively, the Norwegian Sea, North-East Atlantic, and western parts of the Mediterranean and North Seas are expected to be less impacted even under the high emission scenario. Overall, our study advances the understanding of the potential impacts of future climate change scenarios on threatened and commercially important marine species in European MPAs and reinforces the urgent need to meet the Paris Agreement. Our results suggest that existing approaches to marine governance in Europe may be insufficient for ensuring the success of MPAs in light of future impacts and that novel anticipatory forms of governance are needed.

Summary: Microglia play a crucial role in a range of neuropathologies through exacerbated activation. Microglial inflammatory responses can be influenced by prior exposures to noxious stimuli, like increased levels of extracellular adenosine and ATP. These are characteristic of brain insults like epileptic seizures and could potentially shape subsequent responses through epigenetic regulation. We investigated DNA methylation and expression changes in human microglia-like cells differentiated from monocytes following ATP-mediated preconditioning. We demonstrate that microglia-like cells display homeostatic microglial features, shown by surface markers, transcriptome, and DNA methylome. After exposure to ATP, TLR-mediated activation leads to an exacerbated pro-inflammatory response. These changes are accompanied by methylation and transcriptional reprogramming associated with enhanced immune-related functions. The reprogramming associated with ATP-mediated preconditioning leads to profiles found in microglial subsets linked to epilepsy. Purine-driven microglia immune preconditioning drives epigenetic and transcriptional changes that could contribute to altered functions of microglia during seizure development and progression.

Este estudio exploró las diferencias en la personalidad y las creencias de los individuos identificados como emprendedores, centrándose en la motivación, los factores de personalidad y las expectativas generales de control. Se llevó a cabo con la participación de 475 estudiantes universitarios de la región amazónica de Brasil, utilizando varias herramientas de evaluación para analizar los cinco grandes factores de personalidad, las expectativas de control y la motivación hacia el logro o los resultados. Los hallazgos revelaron que los estudiantes con una mayor motivación de logro son más responsables y tienen un mayor locus de control interno, lo que significa que creen tener el control de su vida. Estos estudiantes se perciben a sí mismos como menos indefensos, más auto-eficaces y con mayores expectativas de éxito que aquellos enfocados en los resultados. Por otro lado, los estudiantes motivados por los resultados tienden a creer que los eventos de su vida se deben a la suerte o a fuerzas ajenas a su control. En conclusión, este estudio destaca un patrón emprendedor distintivo en estudiantes con alta motivación de logro. Este patrón puede tener implicaciones significativas para la educación y el desarrollo de futuros emprendedores. Los hallazgos sugieren que fomentar una mayor motivación de logro y un locus de control interno en los estudiantes podría ser beneficioso para cultivar habilidades emprendedoras y fomentar el espíritu empresarial. En cuanto a las aplicaciones en la sociedad, estos resultados pueden ser útiles para los educadores y los responsables de las políticas que buscan fomentar el espíritu empresarial. Al entender los factores de personalidad y las creencias que caracterizan a los emprendedores exitosos, pueden diseñar programas educativos y de formación que fomenten estas características en los estudiantes. Además, los empresarios y las empresas pueden utilizar estos hallazgos para identificar y cultivar talentos emprendedores. Finalmente, los individuos pueden utilizar estos resultados para entender mejor sus propias tendencias emprendedoras y cómo pueden trabajar para mejorarlas.

Abstract Protection from direct human impacts can safeguard marine life, yet ocean warming crosses marine protected area boundaries. Here, we test whether protection offers resilience to marine heatwaves from local to network scales. We examine 71,269 timeseries of population abundances for 2269 reef fish species surveyed in 357 protected versus 747 open sites worldwide. We quantify the stability of reef fish abundance from populations to metacommunities, considering responses of species and functional diversity including thermal affinity of different trophic groups. Overall, protection mitigates adverse effects of marine heatwaves on fish abundance, community stability, asynchronous fluctuations and functional richness. We find that local stability is positively related to distance from centers of high human density only in protected areas. We provide evidence that networks of protected areas have persistent reef fish communities in warming oceans by maintaining large populations and promoting stability at different levels of biological organization.

A síndrome diencefálica, ou síndrome de Russell, é caracterizada por um extremo emagrecimento com ausência do tecido adiposo subcutâneo associado a sintomas como vômitos, hipercinesia, euforia, irritabilidade, nistagmo, atrofia óptica e palidez sem anemia. Embora rara, a síndrome diencefálica deve ser pensada em crianças com atraso no desenvolvimento e com preservação do crescimento linear. Apresentamos a seguir um relato de caso clínico de um lactente com síndrome de Russell.

Abstract The international community set a global conservation target to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 (“30 × 30”) to reverse biodiversity loss, including through marine protected areas (MPAs). However, varied MPAs result in significantly different conservation outcomes, making MPA coverage alone an inadequate metric. We used The MPA Guide framework to assess the the world's largest 100 MPAs by area, representing nearly 90% of reported global MPA coverage and 7.3% of the global ocean area, and analyzed the distribution of MPA quality across political and ecological regions. A quarter of the assessed MPA coverage is not implemented, and one‐third is incompatible with the conservation of nature. Two factors contribute to this outcome: (1) many reported MPAs lack regulations or management, and (2) some MPAs allow high‐impact activities. Fully and highly protected MPAs account for one‐third of the assessed area but are unevenly distributed across ecoregions in part because some nations have designated large, highly protected MPAs in their overseas or remote territories. Indicators of MPA quality, not only coverage, are needed to ensure a global network of MPAs that covers at least 30% of the ocean and effectively safeguards representative marine ecosystems from destructive human activities.

Introduction: Ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia are rare neurodegenerative syndromes. We aimed to determine the prevalence of these disorders in Spain in 2019. Patients and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, multicentre, retrospective, descriptive study of patients with ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia in Spain between March 2018 and December 2019. Results: We gathered data from a total of 1933 patients from 11 autonomous communities, provided by 47 neurologists or geneticists. Mean (SD) age in our sample was 53.64 (20.51) years; 938 patients were men (48.5%) and 995 were women (51.5%). The genetic defect was unidentified in 920 patients (47.6%). A total of 1371 patients (70.9%) had ataxia and 562 (29.1%) had hereditary spastic paraplegia. Prevalence rates for ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia were estimated at 5.48 and 2.24 cases per 100 000 population, respectively. The most frequent type of dominant ataxia in our sample was SCA3, and the most frequent recessive ataxia was Friedreich ataxia. The most frequent type of dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia in our sample was SPG4, and the most frequent recessive type was SPG7. Conclusions: In our sample, the estimated prevalence of ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia was 7.73 cases per 100 000 population. This rate is similar to those reported for other countries. Genetic diagnosis was not available in 47.6% of cases. Despite these limitations, our study provides useful data for estimating the necessary healthcare resources for these patients, raising awareness of these diseases, determining the most frequent causal mutations for local screening programmes, and promoting the development of clinical trials. Resumen: Introducción: Las ataxias (AT) y paraparesias espásticas hereditarias (PEH) son síndromes neurodegenerativos raros. Nos proponemos conocer la prevalencia de las AT y PEH (APEH) en España en 2019. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio transversal, multicéntrico, descriptivo y retrospectivo de los pacientes con AT y PEH, desde Marzo de 2018 a Diciembre de 2019 en toda España. Resultados: Se obtuvo información de 1.933 pacientes procedentes de 11 Comunidades Autónomas, de 47 neurólogos o genetistas. Edad media: 53,64 años ± 20,51 desviación estándar (DE); 938 varones (48,5%), 995 mujeres (51,1%). En 920 pacientes (47,6%) no se conoce el defecto genético. Por patologías, 1.371 pacientes (70,9%) diagnosticados de AT, 562 diagnosticados de PEH (29,1%). La prevalencia estimada de AT es 5,48/100.000 habitantes, y la de PEH es 2,24 casos/100.000 habitantes. La AT dominante más frecuente es la SCA3. La AT recesiva más frecuente es la ataxia de Friedreich (FRDA). La PEH dominante más frecuente es la SPG4, y la PEH recesiva más frecuente es la SPG7. Conclusiones: La prevalencia estimada de APEH en nuestra serie es de 7,73 casos/100.000 habitantes. Estas frecuencias son similares a las del resto del mundo. En el 47,6% no se ha conseguido un diagnóstico genético. A pesar de las limitaciones, este estudio puede contribuir a estimar los recursos, visibilizar estas enfermedades, detectar las mutaciones más frecuentes para hacer los screenings por comunidades, y favorecer los ensayos clínicos.

AbstractLobsters are ubiquitous, economically important decapod crustaceans with apparently conflicting evolutionary relationships. Here, we describe the chromosomal location of the major (45S rDNA) and minor (5S rDNA) ribosomal gene families in four species of Astacidea and five of Achelata, using two-color FISH. The major ribosomal family is located in 4–16 sites per diploid chromosome set, with Nephrops norvegicus (Nephropidae) showing the highest number described so far in Decapoda. The 5S rDNA is located in two sites in eight species; only in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii the 5S FISH signals were detected in four sites together with additional weaker signals. Furthermore, in N. norvegicus the minor ribosomal genes are syntenic with one major ribosomal cluster. Moreover, we located by two-color FISH the pentanucleotide (TTAGG)n telomeric repeat in the Nephropidae studied, showing the occurrence of a colocalization with 45S ribosomal sequences in Homarus gammarus. The comparison of chromosomal locations of repetitive sequences in Mediterranean, Atlantic, and South African lobster species as well as in marine and freshwater ones provides information on chromosomal evolution and cytotaxonomy of Decapoda.

Resume: Introducción: Las ataxias (AT) y paraparesias espásticas hereditarias (PEH) son síndromes neurodegenerativos raros. Nos proponemos conocer la prevalencia de las AT y PEH en España en 2019. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio transversal, multicéntrico, descriptivo y retrospectivo de los pacientes con AT y PEH, desde marzo de 2018 a diciembre de 2019 en toda España. Resultados: Se obtuvo información de 1933 pacientes procedentes de 11 Comunidades Autónomas, de 47 neurólogos o genetistas. Edad media: 53,64 años ± 20,51 desviación estándar (DE); 938 varones (48,5%), 995 mujeres (51,5%). En 920 pacientes (47,6%) no se conoce el defecto genético. Por patologías, 1.371 pacientes (70,9%) diagnosticados de AT, 562 diagnosticados de PEH (29,1%). La prevalencia estimada de AT es 5,48/100.000 habitantes, y la de PEH es 2,24 casos/100.000 habitantes. La AT dominante más frecuente es la SCA3. La AT recesiva más frecuente es la ataxia de Friedreich (FRDA). La PEH dominante más frecuente es la SPG4, y la PEH recesiva más frecuente es la SPG7. Conclusiones: La prevalencia estimada de AT y PEH en nuestra serie es de 7,73 casos/100.000 habitantes. Estas frecuencias son similares a las del resto del mundo. En el 47,6% no se ha conseguido un diagnóstico genético. A pesar de las limitaciones, este estudio puede contribuir a estimar los recursos, visibilizar estas enfermedades, detectar las mutaciones más frecuentes para hacer los screenings por comunidades, y favorecer los ensayos clínicos. Abstract: Introduction: Ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia are rare neurodegenerative syndromes. We aimed to determine the prevalence of these disorders in Spain in 2019. Patients and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, multicentre, retrospective, descriptive study of patients with ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia in Spain between March 2018 and December 2019. Results: We gathered data from a total of 1933 patients from 11 autonomous communities, provided by 47 neurologists or geneticists. Mean (SD) age in our sample was 53.64 (20.51) years; 938 patients were men (48.5%) and 995 were women (51.5%). The genetic defect was unidentified in 920 patients (47.6%). A total of 1371 patients (70.9%) had ataxia and 562 (29.1%) had hereditary spastic paraplegia. Prevalence rates for ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia were estimated at 5.48 and 2.24 cases per 100 000 population, respectively. The most frequent type of dominant ataxia in our sample was SCA3, and the most frequent recessive ataxia was Friedreich ataxia. The most frequent type of dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia in our sample was SPG4, and the most frequent recessive type was SPG7. Conclusions: In our sample, the estimated prevalence of ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia was 7.73 cases per 100 000 population. This rate is similar to those reported for other countries. Genetic diagnosis was not available in 47.6% of cases. Despite these limitations, our study provides useful data for estimating the necessary healthcare resources for these patients, raising awareness of these diseases, determining the most frequent causal mutations for local screening programmes, and promoting the development of clinical trials.

Objective: Genital herpes (GH) is one of the most common sexual transmitted infections. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genital infections have been increasing, with a shift toward its predominance in many developed countries. The aim of this study was to characterize the population with GH diagnosed in Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of GH between 2017 and 2021 was conducted. The diagnosis was established by real-time polymerase chain reaction, in samples collected by swabbing suspicious mucocutaneous lesions. Medical records of included patients were reviewed and data of interest analyzed. Results: During the studied period, a total of 239 patients were diagnosed with GH, from which 76.6% (n = 183) were caused by HSV type 2 (HSV-2). Most patients were men (68%; n = 163), with a mean age of 35.7 years. Compared to the group diagnosed with HSV-2, the mean age was significantly lower in the HSV-1 group (28.6 years vs. 37.9; p < 0.001) and the proportion of patients with first clinical manifestations of GH was significantly higher in the latest (67.8% vs. 30%; p

Stable isotope methods have been used to study protein metabolism in humans; however, there application in dogs has not been frequently explored. The present study compared the methods of precursor (13C-Leucine), end-products (15N-Glycine), and amino acid oxidation (13C-Phenylalanine) to determine the whole-body protein turnover rate in senior dogs. Six dogs (12.7 ± 2.6 years age, 13.6 ± 0.6 kg bodyweight) received a dry food diet for maintenance and were subjected to all the above-mentioned methods in succession. To establish 13C and 15N kinetics, according to different methodologies blood plasma, urine, and expired air were collected using a specifically designed mask. The volume of CO2 was determined using respirometry. The study included four methods viz. 13C-Leucine, 13C-Phenylalanine evaluated with expired air, 13C-Phenylalanine evaluated with urine, and 15N-Glycine, with six dogs (repetitions) per method. Data was subjected to variance analysis and means were compared using the Tukey test (P0.05). However, only 13C-Leucine and 13C-Phenylalanine (expired air) presented an elevated Pearson correlation and concordance. This suggested that caution should be applied while comparing the results with the other methodologies.

Abstract Background Implementation and uptake of health technology assessment for evaluating medical devices require including aspects that different stakeholders consider relevant, beyond cost and effectiveness. However, the involvement of stakeholders in sharing their views still needs to be improved. Objective This article explores the relevance of distinct value aspects for evaluating different types of medical devices according to stakeholders' views. Methods Thirty-four value aspects collected through literature review and expert validation were the input for a 2-round Web-Delphi process. In the Web-Delphi, a panel of participants from five stakeholders’ groups (healthcare professionals, buyers and policymakers, academics, industry, and patients and citizens) judged the relevance of each aspect, by assigning a relevance-level (‘Critical’, ‘Fundamental’, ‘Complementary’, or ‘Irrelevant’), for two types of medical devices separately: ‘Implantable’ and ‘In vitro tests based on biomarkers’. Opinions were analysed at the panel and group level, and similarities across devices were identified. Results One hundred thirty-four participants completed the process. No aspects were considered ‘Irrelevant’, neither for the panel nor for stakeholder groups, in both types of devices. The panel considered effectiveness and safety-related aspects ‘Critical’ (e.g., ‘Adverse events for the patient’), and costs-related aspects ‘Fundamental’ (e.g., ‘Cost of the medical device’). Several additional aspects not included in existing frameworks’ literature, e.g., related to environmental impact and devices’ usage by the healthcare professional, were deemed as relevant by the panel. A moderate to substantial agreement across and within groups was observed. Conclusion Different stakeholders agree on the relevance of including multiple aspects in medical devices’ evaluation. This study produces key information to inform the development of frameworks for valuing medical devices, and to guide evidence collection.

Kirsten E. Costa
- Abstract
The experience of teachers who cope with the potential of violence in their workplaces was the topic of this dissertation. The research question was the following: What is the process of coping with the increased potential of violence in the school/work setting for teachers? This question was posed to examine how teachers process and cope with the potential of violence so they can continue to report to work and be effective influencers. This objectivist grounded theory qualitative research attempted to gain further insight to identify the sources of potential violence in the schoolwork setting from the teachers' perspective. The population for this study consisted of teachers who were professional licensed educators who resided in the United States. The sample was selected from the population of teachers who felt they had a potential of working in an unsafe workplace and who met the criteria of age and minimum teaching experience. Open coding, axial coding, and selective coding analysis were used for data analysis to further identify categories and patterns data for theory development. Understanding the stress experienced by teachers as a result of the potential of violence in their workplace is integral in order to neutralize unsafe environments. Identifying effective resources and training to better equip teachers who are in workplaces where there is the potential of violence are essential in the process of creating a safer workplace so that teachers can function effectively in their role as educators.

Abstract Low density sugarcane plantation (LDSP) has been implemented by some sugarcane producers in Brazil, aiming to save seeds and operational costs. The study was carried out in the municipality of Areia, Paraíba, Brazil. Five planting densities were used, varying from 5 to 25 m-2 of buds arranged in randomized blocks, with four replications. Data were measured annually over three cultivation cycles (2017 to 2020), during which the field was fertilized with NPK and the harvests were carried out manually without prior burning. The lower planting density presents higher productivity only in the cane plant (101.03 t ha-1) due to the higher plant height (2.37 m) and the higher number of stalks (11 stalks m-2), suggesting that these variables are due to the greater availability of light, water and photosynthate. However, there is a drastic reduction in sugarcane yield for this lower population in the 2nd ratoon by up to 65.62%, which is correlated with number of stalks per meter. We demonstrate the agronomic viability of LDSP in the population of 10 buds m-2 in relation to conventional planting of sugarcane until the 2nd ratoon. Data are important for future studies to present additional considerations for other production factors, such as the effects of mechanized harvesting and the management of nutrients and water, assessing the sustainability of this large-scale planting system.
