Objective: To review the literature regarding adolescent suicide risk and explore the associations between treatment compliance (expressed as a concept including measured adherence to treatment and/or mental health service utilization) and risk and protective factors for suicidal behavior (SB), as well as the association between treatment compliance and reattempts. Methods: PubMed, LILACS, and Google Scholar were searched using the following terms: (adolescent*) AND (suicide*) AND (risk factor OR protective factors) AND (treatment compliance OR treatment attrition OR treatment adherence OR treatment drop out OR treatment retention OR mental health utilization). We retrieved studies that focused on the relation of treatment compliance to risk and protective factors for SB and that had only adolescent samples. Results: Of 4,841 articles, 30 original articles were selected for review. Most studies indicated high mental health service (MHS) utilization and poor treatment adherence by SB patients. Social minority status and conduct disorder were associated with less treatment adherence, while female sex, parental perceived need for treatment, and major depression were associated with greater treatment adherence. Inpatient and intensive emergency care after SA and family interventions improved MHS utilization and treatment compliance. However, we found no substantial protective effect of treatment compliance against reattempts. Conclusion: Effective treatment planning for compliance requires considering psychopathology, treatment planning, and social, familial, and individual factors.

O girino de Hypsiboas atlanticus (Caramaschi & Velosa, 1996) é descrito a partir de indivíduos coletados em Maceió, Estado de Alagoas, Brasil. No estágio 36 o corpo é elíptico em vistas lateral e dorsal, o disco oral é anteroventral e o espiráculo é sinistro. A fórmula dental é 2(1,2)/3(1). O disco oral é rodeado por uma única fileira de papilas marginais, ausentes anteriormente. Os girinos do grupo de H. punctatus podem ser diferenciados por um conjunto de características do disco oral. Descrições adicionais de girinos de populações de H. punctatus (Schneider, 1799) em toda América do Sul poderá ser útil em determinar seus status.

The tadpole of Hypsiboas atlanticus (Caramaschi & Velosa, 1996) is described from the municipality of Maceió, State of Alagoas, Brazil. At stage 36 the larvae have an overall elliptical body in lateral and dorsal views, oral disc anteroventral, spiracular tube sinistral, and labial tooth row formula 2(1,2)/3(1). The oral disc is surrounded, almost completely (anterior medial gap present) by a single row of marginal papillae. Described tadpoles of the H. punctatus species group can be differentiated by a combined disc oral features. Additional descriptions of H. punctatus (Schneider, 1799) tadpoles from populations throughout South America may be helpful in determining the status of these populations.

Uma série de cetonas e ésteres alfa,beta-insaturados b-amino ésteres, 4a-h e 6a-d, derivados de alfa-amino ácidos foi obtida a partir dos cloridratos dos alfa-amino ésteres 2a-d e dos compostos 1,3-dicarbonílicos 3a,b e 5 em presença de trietilamina. Estes compostos foram preparados empregando energia de microondas, sem uso de solvente, utilizando como suporte sólido K-10 ou KSF e também foram efetuadas reações na ausência de suporte sólido.

A series of beta-amino esters alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones and esters 4a-h and 6a-d derived from alpha-amino acids have been prepared starting from alpha-amino esters hydrochorides 2a-d with 1,3- dicarbonyl compounds 3a,b and 5 in presence of triethylamine. These compounds have been prepared under domestic microwave oven, under solvent free condition with and without solid support (K-10 or KSF).
