On April 10, 2024, a stray dog was found in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, with an extremely distended abdomen. Initially, pregnancy was suspected, but a more detailed analysis revealed the presence of mucopurulent function in the vulva, raising the suspicion of Open Pyometra. The chain was taken to the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, where it underwent an imaging exam that confirmed the diagnosis of Open Pyometra. After confirmation, the animal was sent to the surgery team. Analgesia and anesthesia were administered under the supervision of an anesthesiologist, and the dog was subsequently prepared for surgical intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar as práticas de intervenção na atenção à crise em saúde mental em um serviço de urgência e emergência. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, que utilizou a Avaliação de Quarta Geração como percurso teórico-metodológico. O cenário foi uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento, localizada no interior do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Participaram 18 profissionais da saúde que atuavam na unidade. Os dados foram coletados por meio de observação participante e entrevista com aplicação do Círculo Hermenêutico-Dialético, e analisados pelo Método Comparativo Constante. As principais práticas de intervenções na atenção à crise em saúde mental demonstradas no processo avaliativo foram as contenções físicas, a medicamentalização excessiva, a solicitação de apoio da força policial e a pouca utilização da escuta qualificada. Essas intervenções demonstram um desafio para a atenção psicossocial que tem como premissas a desinstitucionalização, a defesa dos direitos humanos e a participação das pessoas com transtornos mentais no tratamento. Esta pesquisa pode contribuir para a desconstrução do paradigma manicomial que, em situações de crise, vê a tutela, o controle e a violência como únicas opções de intervenção.

La teoría general de sistemas ofrece un marco conceptual y metodológico para integrar consideraciones bioéticas en la toma de decisiones ambientales y ecológicas, enmarcando clara y eficazmente muchos problemas y situaciones que suelen presentarse utilizando el lenguaje ordinario. Un sistema es una entidad estructurada internamente que se caracteriza por algunas propiedades y funciones específicas. Esta unidad se relaciona con varias de sus partes que también son sistemas y son, por tanto, sus subsistemas. A su vez, cada sistema es parte (es decir, subsistema) de sistemas de orden superior. Todos estos sistemas y subsistemas están relacionados entre sí de tal manera que cada uno se caracteriza por sus propiedades específicas, que, además, resultan de las correlaciones que los unen a sus subsistemas y sistemas de orden superior. Dentro de esta arquitectura general se inscriben fácilmente conceptos como entorno y complejidad, así como emergencia, con todos los problemas relativos a los límites de las posibilidades de predicción mostrando que los enfoques deterministas tradicionales en la ciencia son insuficientes para manejar tal complejidad. El artículo aborda los desafíos que plantea la impredecibilidad en los sistemas complejos, criticando las visiones fatalistas que aceptan de manera optimista o pesimista la naturaleza incontrolable de los desarrollos tecnológicos y ecológicos. Es precisamente la impredecibilidad de un sistema complejo como el entorno lo que requiere una dimensión bioética para guiar los valores que subyacen a nuestra toma de decisiones respecto a la vida misma.

Background: Nurses need not only practical knowledge to apply Advanced Life Support (ALS) but also theoretical knowledge. Objectives: To assess nurses' theoretical knowledge of ALS in the care of critically ill people and to examine the relationship between nurses' theoretical knowledge of ALS in the care of critically ill people and their sociodemographic, academic, and professional variables. Methodology: A quantitative and descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 36 nurses selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Results: In the applied questionnaire, the nurses achieved a correct answer rate of 73.53%. Statistically significant differences were found between specialist nurses and their knowledge of emergency drug administration [amiodarone (t = 4.292; p = 0.038); and atropine (t = 4.912; p = 0.027)] and capnography monitoring (t = 4.788; p = 0.029). Conclusion: Nurses showed good levels of theoretical knowledge of ALS, and practical refresher training every 3 months is recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study addresses the crucial role of nursing in emergency and disaster management, emphasizing the importance of preparedness, training, and effective communication. Through a qualitative literature review, existing literature was analyzed to understand the responsibilities and challenges of nurses in critical contexts. The findings highlight the need for specific disaster management training, including technical and nontechnical skills, and underscore effective communication as essential for a coordinated disaster response. The discussion integrates these results with previous studies, suggesting the implementation of structured training programs and the adoption of uniform policies to improve international disaster preparedness. In conclusion, disaster management preparedness and effective communication are critical for nurses to play a vital role in mitigating public health impacts of disasters, highlighting the importance of continuous learning and adaptation to meet future challenges in emergency care.

Background: Nurses in emergency departments are at a high risk of experiencing secondary traumatic stress because of their frequent exposure to trauma patients and high-stress environments. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the overall prevalence of secondary traumatic stress among emergency nurses and to identify the contributing factors. Method: We conducted a systematic search for cross-sectional studies in databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Wanfang Database, and China National Knowledge Internet up to October 21, 2023. The Joanna Briggs Institute’s appraisal checklists for prevalence and analytical cross-sectional studies were used for quality assessment. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed using Cochrane’s Q test and the I 2 statistic. A random effects model was applied to estimate the pooled prevalence of secondary traumatic stress, and subgroup analyses were performed to explore sources of heterogeneity. Descriptive analysis summarized the associated factors. Results: Out of 345 articles retrieved, 14 met the inclusion criteria, with 11 reporting secondary traumatic stress prevalence. The pooled prevalence of secondary traumatic stress among emergency nurses was 65% (95% CI: 58%–73%). Subgroup analyses indicated the highest prevalence in Asia (74%, 95% CI: 72%–77%), followed by North America (59%, 95% CI: 49%– 72%) and Europe (53%, 95% CI: 29%–95%). Nine studies identified associated factors, including personal, work-related, and social factors. In the subgroup of divided by recruitment period, emergency department nurses in the COVID-19 outbreak period had a higher prevalence of secondary traumatic stress (70%, 95% CI: 62%–78%). Conclusions: Secondary traumatic stress prevalence is notably high among emergency department nurses, with significant regional variations and period differences. The factors affecting secondary traumatic stress also varied across studies. Future research should focus on improving research designs and sample sizes to pinpoint risk factors and develop prevention strategies [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: This study aimed to build and validate a proposal for safety and emergency material and equipment adjusted to the practice of mountain sports in Portugal. The proposal was developed through documentary analysis, literature review, and expert consultation. Methods: The validation of the contents of the proposal was carried out using the Delphi technique, with the participation of 30 experts, male (N = 18) and female (N = 12), aged between 32 and 61 years (M = 42.50; SD = 7.29), with a mean of 16.63 ± 5.60 years of experience, divided into 4 groups: (i) pre-hospital trainers; (ii) pre-hospital nurses; (iii) pre-hospital physicians; (iv) higher education teachers in the field of mountain sports. The 1st version of the proposal was structured in 7 areas and included 29 items (material and/or equipment). The final version of the proposal was structured in 8 areas (general material, measuring equipment, burns, trauma, respiratory, medication, communications, and survival kit) and included 44 items (material and equipment). Results: The proposal showed Content Validity Index (CVI) values of 100%. Concerning the reliability and validity of the proposal, intraclass correlation coefficient values of 0.986 (excellent) were found for technical importance and 0.983 (excellent) for contextual fit. All values show a high level of inter-expert agreement. Conclusion: The validated proposal will be an appropriate tool for mountain sports technicians to use in order to promote safety, reduce accidents and their consequent morbidity, and reduce the activation of rescue teams.

Enquadramento: Os conhecimentos dos enfermeiros sobre suporte avançado de vida (SAV) implicam não só a aplicação de conhecimentos práticos, mas igualmente a mobilização dos conhecimentos teóricos. Objetivos: Avaliar o nível dos conhecimentos teóricos dos enfermeiros sobre SAV na prática de cuidados à pessoa em situação crítica (PSC) e relacionar o nível dos conhecimentos teóricos dos enfermeiros sobre SAV na prática de cuidados à PSC e as variáveis sociodemográficas, académicas e profissionais dos enfermeiros. Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo-correlacional, onde participaram 36 enfermeiros selecionados através de uma técnica de amostragem não probabilística por conveniência. Resultados: Os enfermeiros apresentaram uma percentagem de respostas corretas de 73,53% no questionário aplicado. Evidenciaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre ser enfermeiro especialista e o conhecimento sobre a administração de fármacos de emergência [amiodarona (t = 4,292; p = 0,038); e atropina (t = 4,912; p = 0,027)] e a monitorização com capnografia (t = 4,788; p = 0,029). Conclusão: Os enfermeiros revelaram bons níveis de conhecimentos teóricos sobre SAV, sugerindo-se uma atualização da formação prática a cada 3 meses.

Las anomalías traqueales congénitas son muy poco comunes en medicina veterinaria, no por ello menos importantes. Al igual que lo que sucede en medicina humana la gran mayoría de las posibles variantes son de presentación clínica muy impactante debido al distrés respiratorio que producen en el paciente. Todas requieren algún tipo de corrección quirúrgica o mínimamente invasiva para poder superar el cuadro agudo. A continuación, se expone el caso de un felino macho de 10 meses de edad, que se presentó en el servicio de urgencias por un cuadro agudo de disnea inspiratoria y espiratoria con la particularidad de presentar estridor inspiratorio marcado. A raíz del fallecimiento del paciente, con la posterior necropsia e histopatología, se concluyó que el mismo presentaba una estenosis traqueal congénita segmentaria por ausencia de anillos traqueales.

Los eventos sísmicos pueden causar un daño importante a inmuebles públicos y privados y son vital importancia para la gestión pública. En este contexto, es relevante reconocer los actores y los momentos críticos que experimentan las organizaciones que coordinan las labores de respuesta, rescate, recopilación de datos y deliberación de traslados. En Chile, la toma de decisiones sobre estos procesos involucra a tres ministerios: el Ministerio de Desarrollo Social recopila la información de las personas y las familias afectadas por la emergencia; el Ministerio de Vivienda y Urbanismo catastra información para asignar beneficios transitorios o definitivos de vivienda; y el Ministerio del Interior, quien a través del Servicio Nacional de Prevención y Respuesta ante Desastres (SENAPRED), planifica y coordina los recursos públicos y privados para gestionar el manejo de la emergencia. Al momento de la crisis se suman otros grupos: voluntarios, unidades de bomberos, carabineros, agrupaciones de la sociedad civil, empresas aseguradoras, entre otros. El artículo explora las complejidades institucionales y técnicas que participan de la primera respuesta luego de un sismo (ej. toma de datos, sistematización, análisis y toma de decisiones).

Euphorbia strigosa es una planta que pertenece a la familia Euphorbiaceae, tiene potencial ornamental ya que presenta brácteas de color rojizo y su porte es bajo, a pesar de ello aún son pocos los estudios con esta especie. Al querer incluirla en protocolos de producción se observó que las semillas con mayor porcentaje de germinación son las de pesos mayores a 13 mg. Al tratarse de una especie aun silvestre, donde es limitado el número de semillas que se pueden obtener se buscaron estrategias para favorecer mayor porcentaje de germinación en semillas de pesos inferiores con la técnica de cultivo de tejidos. Para ello se estableció un experimento factorial. Uno: reguladores de crecimiento (5 niveles). Dos: antioxidantes (2 niveles). Tres: edad de semilla (2 niveles). Cuatro: luz (2 niveles). Cuarenta tratamientos con cinco repeticiones. Las variables evaluadas fueron número de semillas germinadas, oxidadas y contaminadas. Para analizar los datos se utilizó un análisis de varianza donde al no identificar diferencias significativas, se procedió a un análisis descriptivo de los tratamientos. El mayor promedio de germinación fue de 5 %, con la aplicación de giberelinas bajo condiciones de luz blanca.

Estudos relacionados aos aspectos fisiológicos e sanitários de sementes fornecem informações sobre os principais problemas relacionados à qualidade das sementes de culturas de importância econômica. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade física, sanitária e fisiológica de sementes de feijão fava (Phaseolus lunatus), do estado da Paraíba. Foram utilizados dez lotes de sementes de feijão fava ‘Orelha de vó’, dos municípios de Arara (1), Areia (2), Esperança (3), Campina Grande (4), Juarez Távora (5), Alagoa Grande (6), Lagoa de Roça (7), Lagoa Seca (8), Alagoa Nova (9) e Remígio (10). Foi realizado o teste de sanidade de sementes (Blotter test) a fim de avaliar a presença de patógenos. Os aspectos fisiológicos foram determinados pela germinação e vigor das sementes. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com quatro repetições de 50 sementes. As sementes de feijão fava, pertencentes aos lotes 5, 6 e 10 possuem melhor qualidade física, através da análise biométrica e peso de mil sementes. Foram identificados os fungos Aspergillus sp., Aspergillus niger, Botrytis sp., Cladosporium sp., Rhizopus sp., Fusarium sp., Penicillium sp. e Colletotrichum sp., associados às sementes. Os lotes 2 e 9 apresentam melhor qualidade fisiológica, através das análises de emergência, germinação, comprimento e massa seca da parte aérea e raiz.

El presente artículo analiza como la pandemia del covid-19 afectó a los pueblos indígenas en Colombia. El objetivo ha sido describir las acciones que han llevado a cabo con resultados favorables los pueblos Nasa y Misak en el suroccidente del país. Estas acciones se fundamentan en su conocimiento ancestral y se consideran prácticas decoloniales que han perdurado a lo largo de los siglos. Este enfoque se aborda desde una perspectiva de resistencia ante las percepciones hegemónicas occidentales. No obstante, este panorama contrasta con la situación de emergencia que atraviesan las comunidades indígenas de la Amazonía, donde el virus se ha propagado de manera masiva. Sus organizaciones han solicitado un diálogo de saberes e intercultural para hacer frente a la crisis generada por la pandemia. Este proceso se puede caracterizar como decolonial. Es crucial destacar que los pueblos indígenas se encuentran en territorios donde el conflicto armado ha sido intenso, motivado por intereses de diversos actores en los recursos naturales. Este escenario contradice la exclusión socioeconómica y la marginalidad en las que se hallan las comunidades en territorios de valor estratégico. A esta problemática se suman los desafíos derivados de proyectos de intervención legalmente constituidos, para los cuales se requiere la consulta previa. Sin embargo, en tiempos de pandemia, esta consulta no puede llevarse a cabo plenamente. En este contexto, resurge una mirada decolonial y de resistencia para preservar y reproducir lo sociocultural.

Introdução: Atualmente, as lesões traumáticas foram consideradas uma das dez principais causas morte no mundo constituindo um problema de saúde pública. Os acidentes de viação constituem 3,5% das mortes registadas em Portugal. As incidências destes sinistros potenciaram a necessidade de elaboração de medidas de prevenção e abordagem. Nesse sentido, a metodologia “ABCDE” e as técnicas de extração, como: autoextração e extração com recurso ao plano duro são hipóteses a considerar nestes cenários. Objetivo: Mapear e analisar a evidência disponível acerca da utilização do plano duro e da autoextração enquanto técnicas de extração no extra-hospitalar. Material e métodos: Revisão scoping segundo o protocolo do instituto Joanna Briggs, com frase de pesquisa "[(Trauma) OR (multiple trauma) OR (Spinal Cord Injuries) OR (Trauma, Nervous System)] AND [(Emergency Treatment) OR (Advanced Trauma Life Support Care) OR (First Aid) OR (Transportation of Patients) OR (Emergency Nursing) OR (Emergency Medical Services) OR (Emergency Medicine) OR (Emergency) OR (Emergency Responders) OR (Paramedics)] AND [(Immobilization) OR (Backboard) OR (Stability) OR (Board)]”. Realizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE, CINAHL e Cochrane Database of Sysematic Reviews com critérios de inclusão os artigos compreendidos entre 2018 e 2023 em Português, Espanhol e Inglês. Após a exclusão dos duplicados e da leitura do título, resumo e texto integral, a pesquisa resultou para análise 5 artigos. Resultados: Foram obtidos 865 artigos, tendo sido integrados 5 na revisão. A elevada incidência de acidentes de viação que requerem assistência desencadeou investigações, que denotam um agravamento das lesões da coluna cervical durante a abordagem e o transporte, afirmam que a taxa de mortalidade é superior nas vítimas imobilizadas por fatores, tais como, o tempo despendido no local. A autoextração, assim como, as extrações com o plano duro são aplicáveis, desde que obedeçam a critérios como: estado de consciência da vítima, cinemática do sinistro, estado clínico e sintomatologia. Conclusão: Constatou-se que ambas abordagens têm aplicabilidade, contudo, tendo em conta a inexistência de consenso e pouca evidência científica disponibilizada, devem-se desenvolver novas investigações, como: estudos longitudinais e experimentais para serem construídos protocolos de abordagem às vítimas de trauma, com vista à homogeneização cuidados nos diferentes contextos no extra-hospitalar.

Introducción: en 2016, aproximadamente 55 millones de pacientes en todo el mundo sufrieron lesiones oculares. La carga de sufrimiento tras las lesiones oculares es muy alta, sobre todo por las consecuencias de estas lesiones, que son en gran parte responsables de la ceguera monocular. Objetivo: sistematizar los referentes teóricos sobre el trauma ocular pediátrico y su impacto en los resultados visuales. Método: se realizó una revisión sistemática del trauma ocular pediátrico y su impacto en los resultados visuales, basada en la literatura publicada en PubMed, Trip Medical Database y British Medical Journal en el periodo 2018-2022. El nivel de evidencia encontrado se evaluó mediante la escala de Oxford y se determinó el sexo, la edad, el tipo de lesión ocular, lugar de ocurrencia del trauma ocular y secuelas postlesión reportadas. Resultados: la evidencia recolectada fue principalmente de estudios retrospectivos de corte transversal que corresponde a nivel de evidencia según escala de Oxford 2b. El trauma ocular fue más común en niños (77 %) que en niñas (23 %) y la edad promedio fue de 10,5±1,96 años. Hubo mayor incidencia de trauma ocular cerrado (56%). Los lugares fuera del domicilio fueron los más reportados (64%). En lo que refiere a las consecuencias de los traumatismos oculares en edades pediátricas se pudo observar que la mayor frecuencia reportada fue la no presencia de secuelas (52,16 %), contra el 48,47 % de los repostados con secuelas. Conclusiones: existen consideraciones básicas que se pueden comunicar al paciente que pueden prevenir efectos graves o permanentes en la visión. El examen oftalmológico profesional permite una evaluación temprana y evita complicaciones por subestimar la lesión ocular aguda.

Objetivo: comparar o perfil clínico dos pacientes submetidos à colecistectomia por colecistite aguda pré e durante a pandemia de coronavírus, além do manejo e sua relação com o prognóstico do paciente. Métodos: estudo de coorte retrospectivo, realizado em um hospital terciário. Os pacientes foram divididos em grupo pré-pandemia e pandemia, sendo analisados e comparados dados relacionados aos fatores estruturais e clínicos. Resultados: houve mais pacientes na pré-pandemia, predominando o sexo feminino e a cor branca. O tempo entre os primeiros sintomas e a admissão hospitalar foi maior na pandemia. Em ambos os grupos houve o predomínio de estágios Grau II da doença. Ainda, na pandemia houve uma maior incidência de complicações. Conclusão: este estudo proporciona uma melhor compreensão acerca dos aspectos clínicos e estruturais acerca da colecistite aguda no cenário da pandemia por coronavírus.

The quality of the rice seed is a fundamental factor that must be considered in any agricultural production program. The objective was to evaluate the physiological quality of the seed of four new rice lines by descriptive and analytical methods, for which a completely randomized design with three repetitions was used and two trials were carried out, the first consisted of a standard germination test where the number of normal and abnormal seedlings, coleoptile and radicle length, and vigor index were determined. In the second trial, seed emergence counts were carried out for ten days and the emergence speed index, the total emergence percentage and the germination speed coefficient were determined. The results showed that Lines 3, 4 and INCA LP-5 were the genotypes with the best performance in the germination percentage; Line 2 and INCA LP-7 with the highest percentage of normal seedlings and the control INCA LP-5, followed by Line 2, with significant differences between them, the best in vigor index and radicle length. The control INCA LP-5 achieved 50 % of emerged seeds at 7 days and the rest of the genotypes accomplish to exceed that value between days 9 and 11. INCA LP-5 statistically surpassed all genotypes in the characters speed index emergence, emergence percentage and germination speed coefficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This monographic issue contains a long article bringing together the Lullius Lectures delivered by Professor Sandra Mitchell during the Xth Conference of the Society of Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science in Spain, that took place in Salamanca (16-19 November, 2021). The publication of her Lectures is complemented by six original articles that address and examine different aspects of Sandra Mitchell's contributions to the philosophy of science. In this introduction to the monograph, the editors present the broad outlines of the Lullius Lectures given by Mitchell on the landscape of integrative pluralism. We accompany this overview with a review of some of the fundamental concepts of her philosophy as reviewed and discussed by the original articles included in the monograph on integrative pluralism (Deulofeu & Suárez, 2023; and Van Der Merwe, 2023), emergence (Onnis, 2023), scientific laws (Andersen, 2023; and Plutynski, 2023), and realism (Bertolaso & Sterpetti, 2023). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite the common use of the concept of emergence, no uncontroversial theoretical framework has been yet formulated in this regard. In this paper, I examine what this circumstance suggests about the significance and usefulness of this concept. I first trace a brief history of the notion of emergence from its first formulation among the British Emergentists to its contemporary uses. Then, I outline its most common features and examine three examples of emergent phenomena, namely particle decay, free will, and division of labour in ant colonies. These three cases of emergence exhibit different features and imply criteria which only partially overlap. I then suggest that the multiplicity of features and criteria recognised as defining emergence, rather than being a threat to the tenability of the concept, should encourage the assumption of a pluralist attitude that is consistent with both the employment of this idea in different sciences and the recognition of emergent phenomena across different levels of organisation. Finally, I propose that emergence can be approached in a similar way to how Richard Boyd approached the problem of natural kinds, namely by identifying an open cluster of properties, rather than a set of necessary and sufficient conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this essay, I revisit and extend my arguments for a view of science that is pluralistic, perspectival and pragmatist. I attempt to resolve mismatches between metaphysical assumptions, epistemological desiderata, and scientific practice. I consider long-held views about unity of science and reduc-tionism, emergent properties and physicalism, exceptionless necessity in explanatory laws, and in the justification for realism. My solutions appeal to the partiality of representation, the perspectivism of theories and data, and the interactive co-construction of warranted claims for realism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Presentamos a continuación el análisis de la experiencia llevada a cabo en el curso de experto universitario en “Prevención de Violencia de Género”, curso realizado por la Universidad de Alicante en coordinación con la Generalitat Valenciana y el Instituto Valenciano de Seguridad Pública y Emergencias (IVASPE). Dirigido a las fuerzas y cuerpos de seguridad (FFCCS). El objetivo es mejorar las habilidades y técnicas de comunicación en las intervenciones de emergencia por violencia en parejas heterosexuales. Nuestra experiencia se enmarca dentro de un diseño de taller de formación especializada de 10 horas de duración en el marco de la asignatura “Habilidades y técnicas de comunicación”, cuyo desarrollo se basa en la capacidad que la dialéctica constructiva tiene de afrontamiento y transformación social, así como en la concepción de la violencia contra las mujeres como un atentado contra los derechos humanos y la pertinencia de las habilidades y técnicas de comunicación efectiva en la intervención policial en este tipo de emergencias. Nuestros resultados muestran una buena estructuración de la intervención policial en tres fases (llegada, desarrollo y cierre) y la necesidad de profundizar en la intervención y protocolo a seguir con los agresores.

El sistema de triaje Manchester Prioridad I, consta de una larga lista de síntomas, signos y diagnósticos, compilados por médicos y enfermeras ingleses. Pretende identificar a todos los pacientes que estan en peligro de muerte inminente y necesitan atención inmediata de reanimación y un espacio en la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Estos profesionales que laboran en las salas de emergencia de los grandes hospitales ingleses, no pensaron en otros contextos ni otras realidades al momento de elaborar el listado y peor aún, que la burocracia internacional lo convirtiera en normativa para los países del tercer mundo

Objetivo: evaluar la asociación entre las categorías de clasificación de riesgo y el Modified Early Warning Score y los resultados de los pacientes con COVID-19 en el servicio de emergencia Método: estudio transversal, realizado con 372 pacientes hospitalizados con diagnóstico de COVID-19 atendidos en la Recepción con Clasificación de Riesgo en Urgencias. En este estudio, el Modified Early Warning Score de los pacientes se clasificó como sin y con deterioro clínico, de 0 a 4 y de 5 a 9, respectivamente. Se consideró que había deterioro clínico cuando presentaban insuficiencia respiratoria aguda, shock y paro cardiorrespiratorio. Resultados: el Modified Early Warning Score promedio fue de 3,34. En cuanto al deterioro clínico de los pacientes, se observó que en el 43% de los casos el tiempo de deterioro fue menor a 24 horas y que el 65,9% ocurrió en urgencias. El deterioro más frecuente fue la insuficiencia respiratoria aguda (69,9%) y el resultado fue alta hospitalaria (70,3%). Conclusión: los pacientes con COVID-19 que presentaban Modified Early Warning Score 4 se asociaron a las categorías de clasificación de riesgo urgente, muy urgente y emergente y tuvieron más deterioro clínico, como insuficiencia respiratoria y shock, y murieron, lo que demuestra que el Protocolo de Clasificación de Riesgo priorizó correctamente a los pacientes con riesgo vital.

Although congenital tracheal anomalies are not very common in veterinary medicine, they are still very important. Just as happens in human medicine, most possible variants are of very striking clinical presentation, due to the respiratory distress produced in patients. All require some type of surgical or minimally invasive correction in order to overcome the acute condition. Below is the case of a 10-month-old male feline that attended the emergency ward with acute inspiratory and expiratory dyspnea, who particularly presented marked inspiratory stridor. As a result of the patient's decease and subsequent necropsy and histopathology it was concluded that he presented segmental congenital tracheal stenosis due to absence of tracheal rings.

Based on the intense demands of caring for others, present in the context of hospital urgency and emergency, this paper explores the work practice of care that physicians perform in this situation. The reflection has the ethics of care in Psychoanalysis as a guiding axis, which matches up with the goal of humanizing care, currently in force in the National Policy for Humanization. It presents the narratives of four resident physicians as witnesses of the undeniable subjective effects undergone in these professional experiences. It concludes that it is essential to implement public policies and institutional actions that take into account the effective caring for the caregiver, thus establishing the validity of another logic not restricted to technical performance.

An understanding of phenology and reproductive ability of a weed species can provide valuable information to manage it incisively. Field studies were conducted in North of Iran, in 2020 and 2021 to evaluate the influence of weather variability on phenological response patterns and production ability of black bindweed. In six sowing dates from October to March, the required thermal time, development rate and seed production ability for each phenophases across different sowing date (SD) were recorded. Among the six sowing dates, the late-autumn SD had the highest emergence and development rate. Sowing dates had significant (p < 0.005) effect on the timing of key phenophases, and more importantly on the period each phenological growth stage spent. The estimated seed production of this weed upon to SD varied from 1,200 to 15,000 seeds per plant. Based on the result black bindweed can be a prevalent weed in a wide range of growing season. Also, late winter and early spring can be mentioned as a vital time to manage and deplete seed bank. The results of current study could help construct a basic framework for a variety of weed-management tactics for conserving the ecosystems and biodiversity on which we depend. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Brazil presents in its territory an estimated 1,000,000 occurrences of accidents due to burns per year, and of these cases, only 100,000 are referred to hospital help and approximately 2,500 die due to direct or indirect complications of burns. Mortality from burns increases when other organic structures are compromised. This work aims to carry out a narrative review of the literature regarding the approach and initial assessment of severely burned patients in the hospital emergency department. An electronic search was performed for articles published in journals indexed through the PubMed, ScienceDirect and BVS Saúde databases, using the following combination of descriptors verified in the DeCS/MeSH database: 'emergency medical services' AND 'burn injury' AND 'evaluation'. Studies published between January 2017 and October 2022 were admitted. The observation of the hemodynamic state, the rapid assertive assessment of the degree of impairment and the management of the multidisciplinary health team are fundamental aspects for the improvement of the patient's condition.
