Thanatology in the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus).

Primate thanatology, or the study of primate responses to dying and death, has become increasingly relevant in recent years. However, the number of reports remains small and the quality of published records is highly variable. Here, we extend the literature on comparative thanatology with observations on a population of the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus). We compiled all seven cases of muriqui responses to dead, dying, or abandoned infants observed by trained researchers of the Muriqui Project of Caratinga between 1998 and 2020. Four different adult females were observed carrying their dead offspring (n = 4) and one of these females was also observed carrying her dead grand-offspring (n = 1). Five of the seven cases involved dead newborns, one involved a newborn abandoned by its mother on the forest floor, and one involved a 1.6-year-old infant that was visibly ill and died after its mother left it on the ground. Dead newborns were carried for 1-3 days, and all cases occurred during the dry season months. No other age-sex classes were observed to interact with the dead or dying immatures. Our observations are consistent with hypotheses concerning the predominance of dead-infant carrying in other primates, and with the effects of climate on rates of corpse disintegration. They also show the value of long-term studies for obtaining and understanding anecdotal records of rare behavior.

How do urogynecology and pelvic floor dysfunction terms used in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery research relate to social media indicators?

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The association between social media (SoMe) indicators and citation metrics is still controversial. we aimed to evaluate the frequency of urogynecology-related terms ("urogynecology" [UG] and "pelvic floor/dysfunction" [PF/PFD]) mentioned by traditional databases (Web of Science [WOS]) and journal ranking indicators (SCImago), as well as their association with SoMe (Altmetric database). METHODS: In April 2019, two authors performed a search that was divided into three steps. The first one was to assess journals within the WOS Obstetrics/Gynecology and Urology categories updated to 2017 using UG and PF/PFD. The second step was to rank these studies in SCImago by the highest numbers of WOS and to correlate with journal h-index and SJR. The third step was to analyze SoMe indicators such as the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) for each study and journal retrieved. RESULTS: The International Urogynecology Journal (IUJ) and Neurourology and Urodynamics (NAU) were the first (n = 1,394) and second (n = 974) most highly cited journals when using UG and PFD. IUJ also presented manuscripts with the highest AAS for UG and PF/PFD. Social media represented 74-93% of AAS calculated among the 20 top cited studies. For UG, SoMe presented 8,050 mentions, led by Twitter (n = 7,326). The same distribution was seen for PFD (8,493 mentions for SoMe, Twitter with 7,653). The higher the WOS citation, the higher the AAS (r = 0.483; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: UG and PF/PFD terms are highly cited in databases and IUJ was the journal most frequently connected with them. Among SoMe tools, Twitter was the most frequently cited. WOS citations correlated with AAS.

Incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo por deficiencia esfinteriana / Urinary incontinence of esfinterial deficiency effort

Resumen El objetivo de la presente revisión es esclarecer los conocimientos generales de la incontinencia urinaria por deficiencia esfinteriana, su diagnóstico y opciones terapéuticas. La metodología usada para la realización de este trabajo fue revisión de literatura exploratoria y descriptiva. La incontinencia urinaria tiene impacto en la calidad de vida de las mujeres en la menopausia, y actualmente se realizan diversas opciones terapéuticas deforma mínimamente invasiva por los nuevos avances tecnológicos. El diagnóstico de la IUE se basa en la realización de manera eficaz y ordenada de un examen ginecológico completo, incluyendo procedimientos técnicos. En el tratamiento, la cirugía de slings es la más usada actualmente, concomitante con las medidas-higiénico dietéticas y las técnicas psicológicas de modificación de conductas; los parámetros de calidad de vida más afectados son la actividad sexual, la urgencia miccional y las infecciones urinarias frecuentes.

Abstract The objective of this study is to clarify the general knowledge of urinary incontinence due to sphincter deficiency, its diagnosis and therapeutic options. the methodology used to carry out this work was a review of exploratory and descriptive literature. Urinary incontinence exerts an impact on the quality of life of women during menopause, and various therapeutic options are currently performed in a minimally invasive manner due to new technological advances. The diagnosis of SUI is based on the effective and orderly performance of a complete gynecological examination, including technical procedures. In the treatment, slings surgery is the most used currently, concomitant with the hygienic dietary measures and the psychological techniques of behavior modification; The most affected quality of life parameters are sexual activity, urgency and frequent urinary tract infections.

Dens in dente bilateral: relato de caso e considerações de tratamento / Bilateral dens in dente: Case report and treatment considerations

Dens in dente é uma anomalia de desenvolvimento dentário caracterizada pela presença de tecidos calcificados, como esmalte e dentina, no espaço da cavidade pulpar. A invaginação destes tecidos mineralizados, antes da sua calcificação, é a causa mais provável desta anomalia. O dens in dente pode acometer qualquer dente, mas ocorre com maior frequência nos incisivos laterais superiores permanentes. Sua ocorrência normalmente é bilateral, mas não necessariamente simétrica. O objetivo deste trabalho é abordar os principais aspectos clínicos desta anomalia num paciente do sexo masculino, onze anos, portador de dens in dente nos quatros incisivos permanentes superiores. A partir do diagnóstico, o tratamento proposto foi o selamento nas fossas palatinas e a instrução de higiene bucal para os dentes acometidos.

Dens in dente is an anomaly of dental development with involves the presence of enamel and dentin mineralized dental tissue in the pulp cavit. The invagination of these mineralized tissues before their mineralization is the most probable cause of this anomaly. Dens in dente may occur in any tooth but it happens more frequently in permanent upper lateral incisors. The aim of this paper is to report a case of an eleven years old male patient with dens in dente on the four permanent upper incisors and discuss the most important aspects of this anomaly. The treatment adopted involved the use of sealant on the palatine fossas and oral hygiene orientation.
