Carbon stock in aboveground biomass and necromass in the Atlantic Forest: an analysis of data published between 2000 and 2021.

Synthesising knowledge on carbon stocks is an essential tool for understanding the potential of forests to store carbon and its drivers. However, such a synthesis needs to be constructed for the Atlantic Forest due to various methodological approaches and biogeographic heterogeneity. Thus, here we conducted a bibliographic search (2000 to 2021) on carbon stocks in the biomass and necromass of Atlantic Forest ecosystems to understand the variation in stocks and their explanatory variables. Drivers included spatial (altitude, forest size) and climatic (precipitation and temperature) variables, and successional stages. Based on the information in 46 articles, biomass exhibited the highest carbon stock (96%), in Mature Forests (MF), with an average of 125.34±40.3 MgC.ha-1, whereas Secondary Forests (SF) stored 82.7±38.2 MgC.ha-1. The carbon in the necromass varied from 1.63 to 11.47 MgC.ha-1, with SF exhibiting 3.90±2.73 MgC.ha-1 and MF 4.31±2.82 MgC.ha-1. Only average annual precipitation and successional stage positively explained the carbon in Atlantic Forest. This research clarifies the function and potential of Atlantic Forest fragments for storing carbon and reinforces need for conserving mature forest patches throughout the biome since one hectare of mature forest can store almost twice as much carbon as one hectare of secondary young patches.

A Systematic Review of the Granular Cell Odontogenic Fibroma and Report of a New Case.

BACKGROUND: Granular Cell Odontogenic Fibroma (GCOF) is a rare odontogenic neoplasm reported over time with different names. The purpose of this study is to review all available data on the GCOF in the scientific literature, with a summary of all reported cases and a report of a new case. METHODS: This review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. An electronic search was performed up to November 2022. RESULTS: Thirty-nine studies reporting fifty-three cases were included. GCOF is a rare neoplasm among the odontogenic tumors, with a higher prevalence in women of the middle-aged and white population. This lesion occurs mostly on the posterior region of the mandible. Furthermore, based on clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features, conservative treatment was the most reported choice with recurrence reported in two cases. CONCLUSION: GCOF remains controversial due to the still unsolved histogenesis.

Rationale and design of the Brazilian diabetes study: a prospective cohort of type 2 diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Optimal control of traditional risk factors only partially attenuates the exceeding cardiovascular mortality of individuals with diabetes. Employment of machine learning (ML) techniques aimed at the identification of novel features of risk prediction is a compelling target to tackle residual cardiovascular risk. The objective of this study is to identify clinical phenotypes of T2D which are more prone to developing cardiovascular disease. METHODS: The Brazilian Diabetes Study is a single-center, ongoing, prospective registry of T2D individuals. Eligible patients are 30 years old or older, with a confirmed T2D diagnosis. After an initial visit for the signature of the informed consent form and medical history registration, all volunteers undergo biochemical analysis, echocardiography, carotid ultrasound, ophthalmologist visit, dual x-ray absorptiometry, coronary artery calcium score, polyneuropathy assessment, advanced glycation end-products reader, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. A 5-year follow-up will be conducted by yearly phone interviews for endpoints disclosure. The primary endpoint is the difference between ML-based clinical phenotypes in the incidence of a composite of death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, and stroke. Since June/2016, 1030 patients (mean age: 57 years, diabetes duration of 9.7 years, 58% male) were enrolled in our study. The mean follow-up time was 3.7 years in October/2021. CONCLUSION: The BDS will be the first large population-based cohort dedicated to the identification of clinical phenotypes of T2D at higher risk of cardiovascular events. Data derived from this study will provide valuable information on risk estimation and prevention of cardiovascular and other diabetes-related events. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT04949152.

Postveraison Deficit Irrigation Effects on Fruit Quality and Yield of "Flame Seedless" Table Grape Cultivated under Greenhouse and Net.

Lack of color in the skin of red table grape varieties is a serious problem in areas of warm climate. This problem is often addressed by the application of ethylene release products such as ethephon. Strict regulation in the use of this product in EU forces European grape producers to look for suitable alternatives. With the aim to increase red skin color, we applied regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies from veraison until harvest on "Flame Seedless" table grape vines cultivated under nets and under a plastic greenhouse in South East Spain, and compared yield and fruit quality with vines fully irrigated under the same net and plastic greenhouses. Our results show a modest improvement in the percentage of commercial clusters with better skin color, probably because the short duration of the deficit irrigation period only caused a slight decrease in soil water content and a mild water stress in RDI vines. Larger differences were observed under the more limiting conditions of the plastic greenhouse for light environment, especially when berry skin color was measured by CIRG (color index of red grape). More noticeable effect of RDI was noted on fruit earliness. Water savings were also remarkable. Negative effects of RDI on berry size or total soluble solid content were not perceived. Our results suggest that RDI is a suitable strategy to save irrigation water without substantial negative effects on yield and berry size. However, the effects on skin color were insufficient in the trial conditions.

Determining the association between dengue and social inequality factors in north-eastern Brazil: A spatial modelling.

Dengue is a global public health problem. The Dengue Virus (DENV) serotypes are transmitted by an Aedes aegypti mosquito. Vector control is among the primary methods to prevent the disease, especially in tropical countries. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of dengue and its relationship with social inequalities using spatial modelling. An ecological study with temporal and spatial analysis was conducted in the state of Sergipe, Northeast Brazil, over a period of 18 years. Spatial modelling was used to determine the influence of space on dengue incidence and social inequalities. The epidemic rates in 2008, 2012, and 2015 were identified. Spatial modelling explained 40% of the influence of social inequalities on dengue incidence in the state. The main social inequalities related to the occurrence of dengue were the percentage of people living in extreme poverty and inadequate sanitation. The epidemic situation even increased the risk of dengue in the population of the state of Sergipe. These results demonstrate the potential of spatial modelling in determining the factors associated with dengue epidemics and are useful in planning the intersectoral public health policies.

Prevalence, treatment, and control of dyslipidemia in diabetic participants of two brazilian cohorts: a place far from heaven.

OBJECTIVE: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular mortality. Over the last years, mortality has decreased significantly, more in individuals with diabetes than in healthy ones. That is mostly due to the control of other cardiovascular risk factors. The objective of our study was to analyze the dyslipidemia control in two diabetes cohorts. METHODS: Patients from two distinct cohorts were studied, 173 patients from the BHS (Brasília Heart Study) and 222 patients from the BDS (Brazilian Diabetes Study). The data on dyslipidemia control were studied in both different populations. All patients had diabetes. RESULTS: There are significant differences concerning comorbidities between the LDL-C and BDS groups. The average glycated hemoglobin is of 8.2 in the LDL-C > 100 group in comparison with 7.7 and 7.5 in the 70-100 and < 70 groups, respectively (p = 0.024). There is a higher percentage of hypertensive patients with LDL between 70-100 (63.9%), when comparing the < 70 and > 100 groups (54.3% and 54.9%, respectively; p = 0.005). Diastolic pressure is higher in the group with LDL > 100, with an average of 87 mmHg, in comparison with 82.6 mmHg and 81.9 mmHg in the 70-100 and < 70 groups, respectively (p = 0.019). The group with LDL > 100 has the greatest percentage of smokers (8.7%) in comparison with the groups with LDL between 70-100 and < 70 (5.6% and 4.3%, respectively; p = 0.015). There is also a difference in the previous incidence of coronaropathy. In the group with LDL < 70, 28.3% of patients had already experienced a previous infarction, compared with 11.1% and 10.6% in the 70-100 and > 100 groups, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The data in our study have shown that the dyslipidemia control in diabetic patients is inadequate and there is a tendency of direct association between lack of blood glucose control and lack of dyslipidemia control, in addition to the association with other cardiovascular risk factors, such as diastolic hypertension and smoking. This worsened control might be related to the plateau in the descending curve of mortality, and investments in this regard can improve the cardiovascular health in diabetic patients.

Trend and spatial analysis of prostate cancer mortality in the state of Sergipe, Brazil.

This is an ecological study with exploratory analysis of spatial and temporal data based on mortality data with respect to prostate cancer obtained from the Mortality Information System concerning residents of the state of Sergipe, Brazil between 2000 and 2015. The analysis of temporal trends was performed using the Joinpoint Regression Program through Poisson regression. Spatial analysis was performed using the empirical Bayesian model, Kernel analysis, Global Moran and Local indices. There were 1,986 deaths due to prostate cancer, most of which occurring after 60 years of age. An increasing, non-constant but significant trend in mortality rates was noted. The kernel density estimator showed hotspot densities of the highest rates of prostate cancer mortality in the north-eastern and central regions of the state. High-risk clusters were identified for prostate cancer mortality (I = 0.55, P<0.01). There was an increase in prostate cancer mortality rates and a heterogeneous geographic distribution of risk areas, with high-risk priority areas identified in certain regions of the state. These priority areas include the municipalities located in the Northeast (Amparo do São Francisco, Aquidabã, Canhoba, Cedro de São João and Telha), the West (Frei Paulo and Pedra Mole) and the south-western region of the state (Poço Verde and Simão Dias).

Ressecção segmentar de granuloma central de células gigantes: relato de caso / Segmentation of central giant cell granuloma: case report

O Granuloma central de células gigantes é próprio dos ossos gnáticos, sendo um tumor benigno não odontogênico. É uma lesão de crescimento normalmente lento, bem circunscrito e assintomático, geralmente diagnosticado através de algum exame de rotina ou, em casos mais avançados, quando se começa a visualizar alguma alteração estético-anatômica. O tratamento de eleição para este tipo de lesão é a simples curetagem ou a ressecção em bloco. No entanto, em pacientes adultos jovens e em crianças, o efeito mutilante que este tipo de tratamento pode acarretar deve ser levado em consideração, utilizando tratamentos não cirúrgicos, como injeção intralesional de corticosteroides, administração de interferon alpha e calcitonina. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso de tratamento com ressecção segmentar de granuloma central de células gigantes. Tumores mais agressivos e recorrentes devem ser submetidos à ressecção e mesmo assim deve se levar em consideração o efeito estético que pode causar na face do paciente, principalmente, se forem crianças e adultos jovens... (AU)

The central granuloma of giant cells is specific to gnathic bones, being a benign non-odontogenic tumor. It's a growth injury usually slow, well circumscribed and asymptomatic, usually diagnosed through some routine examination or, in more advanced cases, when it begins to visualize some aesthetic-an atomical alteration. The treatment of choice for this type of injury is a simple curettage or resection in block. However, in young adult patients and children, the mutilating effect that this type of treatment can bring must be taken in to consideration, using non-surgical treatments, such as intralesional injection of corticosteroids, administration of alpha interferon and calcitonin. Therefore, the objective of this work is to report a case of treatment with resection segment of central granuloma of giant cells. More aggressive and recurrent tumors must be submitted to resection and even then taking into account the aesthetic effect it can have on the patient's face, especially if they are children and young adults...

Exostose palatina aberrante / Exostosis palatina aberrante / Aberrant palatal exostosis

RESUMO Introdução: Exostose é um crescimento ósseo benigno que comumente acomete a mandíbula e a maxila, porém raramente apresenta grandes dimensões. Objetivo: Descrever um caso de exostose palatina de apresentação rara e discutir os principais aspectos clínicos envolvidos. Relato de caso: Paciente, gênero masculino, 66 anos, melanoderma, com história de aumento de volume no palato duro com tempo de evolução indeterminado, sem queixas álgicas, porém relatava transtornos de mastigação e fonação. O conjunto da lesão obliterava toda a profundidade do palato e ocupava grande volume na cavidade oral. A Tomografia Computadorizada de Feixe Cônico demonstrava áreas bem corticalizadas na superfície da lesão e áreas centrais menos hiperdensas, compatíveis com osso medular maduro. Após exames e pareceres pós-operatórios o paciente foi submetido a tratamento cirúrgico sob anestesia geral para remoção da massa óssea e osteoplastia subjacente, a fim de dar contornos normais ao palato, e o material colhido foi enviado para a biópsia que estabeleceu o diagnóstico de exostose. O paciente evoluiu sem complicações. Conclusão: Embora a exostose seja um crescimento ósseo benigno, ela causou problemas funcionais ao paciente, necessitando assim de um tratamento cirúrgico. Após três meses da remoção, os distúrbios foram revertidos à normalidade, e a sua reabilitação protética está em andamento(AU)

El paciente progresó sin complicaciones. Conclusiones: Aunque la exostosis es un crecimiento óseo benigno, causó problemas funcionales al paciente, por lo que requirió tratamiento quirúrgico. Tres meses después de la extracción, los trastornos han vuelto a la normalidad y su rehabilitación protésica está en proceso(AU)

ABSTRACT Introduction: Exostosis is a benign bone growth that commonly affects the jaw and maxilla, but is rarely large. Objective: Describe a case of rare palatal exostosis and discuss the main clinical aspects involved. Case presentation: A case is presented of a male 66-year-old dark-skin patient with a history of hard palate enlargement of an indefinite time of evolution, and chewing and phonation disorders. The lesions had obliterated the entire palatal depth and occupied a large section of the oral cavity. Cone beam computed tomography revealed corticalized areas on the surface of the lesion and less hyperdense central areas compatible with mature bone marrow. After preoperative examination and advice, the patient underwent surgical treatment under general anesthesia to remove the bone mass and underlying osteoplasty to obtain normal palatal contours. The material collected was sent for biopsy testing, which established the diagnosis of exostosis. The patient recovered without any complications. Conclusions: Although exostosis is a benign bone growth, in this case it caused functional problems to the patient, thus requiring surgical treatment. Three months after removal, the disorders have been reverted to normal and prosthetic rehabilitation is underway(AU)

Safety in equipment and dressing changes for central vascular catheters: an observational study / Seguridad en el cambio de equipos y vendajes para el catéter vascular central: un estudio de observación / Segurança na troca de equipos e curativos para cateter vascular central: um estudo observacional

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the compliance of the nursing team's care practice in handling the central vascular catheter when changing dressings and equipment in an intensive care unit. Method: a descriptive, prospective, and observational research study. Data collection was conducted from January to March 2016 in an Intensive Care unit of a public hospital in Sergipe, northeastern Brazil. Direct observation of the professionals was conducted using a safe checklist. Descriptive statistics was used to determine the process indicators, and inferential statistics to determine the association between the variables, using the chi-square and Fisher's tests, with a 5% significance level. Results: 534 procedures corresponding to the exchange of equipment and dressings were observed, corresponding to 5,073 actions. As for the change of equipment, 2,136 actions were evaluated, most of them carried out by nursing technicians. Of the eight actions evaluated in each procedure, only two (25%) reached the desired compliance, with a positivity index between 90% and 99%. Regarding the dressing change, 2,937 actions were evaluated, all of which were performed by nurses. Of the eleven evaluated actions, eight (72%) achieved desired compliance, with a positivity index between 80% and 100%. Conclusion: the results analyzed are far from the desired compliances, demonstrating the need to implement strategies to ensure the safety culture during the care provided.

ABSTRACT Objective: to classify the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases and their spatial distribution in municipalities of Sergipe. Method: an epidemiological study, using secondary information bases from the Information System of the National Immunization Program in 2017, regarding the vaccination schedule of children up to two years of age, in the 75 municipalities of Sergipe. For data statistical analysis, the Epi Info program, version 7.2.2.6 and QGIS were used to prepare the map. Results: only 46.7% of the municipalities in Sergipe had adequate vaccination coverage for BCG. In the entire state, the vaccines analyzed showed a very low degree of homogeneity. The measles, mumps and rubella had the highest dropout rate of 73 (97.3%). Conclusion: a high risk of developing vaccine-preventable diseases was identified in most municipalities in Sergipe. Cumulative efforts are needed by SUS users, health professionals and managers to ensure success and good adherence to immunization activities.

Cultura de segurança do paciente em uma maternidade de risco habitual / Patient safety culture in a low-risk maternity hospital

INTRODUÇÃO: A preocupação com a segurança dos pacientes tornou-se prioritária nas últimas décadas, pois se trata de um princípio básico e importante requisito para garantia da qualidade do cuidado. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a cultura de segurança dos pacientes na perspectiva dos profissionais de saúde que trabalham em uma maternidade de risco habitual. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e quantitativo, com abordagem descritiva, realizado entre os meses de janeiro e março de 2017 com 21 profissionais de saúde atuantes em uma maternidade filantrópica do município de Lagarto, Sergipe, Brasil. As informações foram obtidas por meio do Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ), que avalia em escores as percepções de profissionais em relação à segurança do paciente em seis grandes domínios. Ressalta-se que é considerado escore positivo qualquer domínio com média≥75 pontos. RESULTADOS: Os domínios Clima de Trabalho em Equipe (escore=79,1), Satisfação no Trabalho (escore=81,4), Percepção do stress (escore=76,7) e Condições de Trabalho (escore=78,8) apresentaram-se com uma avaliação positiva no escore do instrumento utilizado (média≥75 pontos). Somente os domínios Clima de Segurança (escore=73,9) e Percepção da Gerência (escore=59,6) se mostraram com pontuação abaixo do escore esperado para a cultura de segurança do paciente. CONCLUSÃO: De modo geral, foi evidenciada uma cultura positiva de segurança do paciente na maternidade estudada, com necessidade de pequenas adequações no comprometimento organizacional e gerencial do serviço.
