RESUMO: A criopreservação de germoplasma vegetal em temperaturas ultrabaixas é uma alternativa para o armazenamento em longo prazo de sementes do gênero Coffea sp. Entretanto, para que essa técnica apresente sucesso, a realização de pesquisas que garantam a manutenção da integridade celular em todas as etapas do processo é de fundamental importância. O objetivo com o presente trabalho foi investigar protocolos de criopreservação validados para sementes de Coffea arabica L., avaliando separadamente, os efeitos sobre as características fisiológicas e bioquímicas das sementes, em cada etapa do processo. As sementes foram secadas em sílica gel ou em solução salina saturada, submetidas ou não ao pré-resfriamento em biocongelador, em seguida imersas no nitrogênio e reaquecidas em banho-maria. Após cada uma dessas etapas, a qualidade fisiológica e bioquímica das sementes foi determinada. O pré-resfriamento é uma etapa que pode ser dispensada na criopreservação de sementes de Coffea arabica, sendo mais indicada a imersão direta em nitrogênio líquido. Sementes de Coffea arabica L. toleram a criopreservação após secagem rápida em sílica gel até teores de água de 17 ou 20% (wb), com maior sobrevivência a 17%. A atividade das enzimas catalase, polifenoloxidase e peroxidase são indicadoras da qualidade de sementes de Coffea arabica L. submetidas à criopreservação.

ABSTRACT: The cryopreservation of plant germplasm at ultralow temperatures is an alternative technique for the long-term storage of seeds of the genus Coffea sp. However, for this technique to be successful, cell integrity must be maintained at all stages of the process on the basis of scientific research. The present study investigated validated cryopreservation protocols for Coffea arabica L. seeds and evaluate the effects on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of the seeds at each stage of the process. Seeds were dried on silica gel or with saturated saline solution, precooled or not in a biofreezer, immersed in nitrogen, and reheated in a water bath. After each of these steps, the physiological and biochemical quality of the seeds was determined. Pre-cooling is a step that can be dispensed with in the cryopreservation of Coffea arabica seeds, direct immersion in liquid nitrogen being more indicated. Coffea arabica L. seeds tolerate cryopreservation after rapid drying in silica gel up to water contents of 17 or 20% (wb), with greater survival at 17%. The enzyme activities of catalase, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase are indicators of the quality of C. arabica L. seeds subjected to cryopreservation.

ABSTRACT The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others. publications problem uptodate up date classifications context exception (CTFB http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br/, httpfaunajbrjgovbr http //fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ , jbrj gov br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/) 2015 Brazil 80 specialists 1 2024 133691 133 691 133,69 125138 125 138 125,13 82.3%, 823 82 3 (82.3% 102000 102 000 102,00 7.69%, 769 7 69 (7.69% 11000 11 11,00 . 3,567 3567 567 (3,56 2,292 2292 2 292 (2,29 1,833 1833 833 (1,83 1,447 1447 447 (1,44 1000 1,00 831 (83 628 (62 606 (60 520 (52 50 users science health biology law anthropology education others http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ faunajbrjgovbr //fauna.jbrj.gov.br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ 201 8 202 13369 13 133,6 12513 12 125,1 82.3% (82.3 10200 10 00 102,0 7.69% 76 6 (7.69 1100 11,0 3,56 356 56 (3,5 2,29 229 29 (2,2 1,83 183 83 (1,8 1,44 144 44 (1,4 100 1,0 (8 62 (6 60 52 (5 5 http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br 20 1336 133, 1251 125, 82.3 (82. 1020 0 102, 7.69 (7.6 110 11, 3,5 35 (3, 2,2 22 (2, 1,8 18 (1, 1,4 14 4 ( 82.

Sanitary landfill leachate (SLL) is a mixture of highly toxic and recalcitrant pollutants that threatens the water quality of the Yucatán Peninsula karst aquifer, one of the most extensive aquifers on the planet. To reduce the adverse environmental impacts of this wastewater, a triple-stage Fenton process (FP) was applied in an old SLL. Removal efficiencies were evaluated in terms of physicochemical variables, metal(oid)s concentrations, mass spectrometric identification of organic compounds and Daphnia magna acute toxicity test. The triple-stage FP achieved an 88% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, representing an improvement of 13% compared to FP performed in a single stage. Further, metal(oid)s such as aluminum, arsenic, chromium, nickel and zinc as well as organic compounds were substantially reduced. With respect to acute toxicity, the treatment produced a 64% reduction. Thus, this treatment system seems to be an effective option to reduce the dangerous level of SLL.

RESUMEN Introducción: La criptococosis es una micosis sistémica cuyo agente etiológico es el Cryptococcus. La mayoría son causados por C. neoformans (serotipos A y D). C. neoformans es un patógeno oportunista en pacientes con SIDA. La meningitis criptocócica ocurre con mayor frecuencia en personas infectadas por VIH con recuentos de CD4+ <100 células. Objetivo: Describir epidemiológicamente a los pacientes con meningitis criptocócica asociada al VIH del Instituto de Medicina Tropical en el año 2019. Metodología: Estudio observacional descriptivo, retrospectivo en el que se incluyeron pacientes de ambos sexos, sin límite de edad con diagnóstico de meningitis criptocócica infectados por el VIH del Instituto de Medicina tropical (IMT) en el año 2019. Se estudiaron las características demográficas como edad, sexo, procedencia y los niveles de CD4+. Resultados: Se estudió una muestra de 43 pacientes con diagnóstico de meningitis criptocócica asociado al VIH, de estos el 72,1% era del sexo masculino, el grupo etario más frecuente entre los 20 a 34 años (promedio de edad: 37,9 ± 13,6 años) y la procedencia en el 46,5% el departamento Central. El 86,04% tenía niveles <100 cel/ml de CD4+. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos son similares a trabajos publicados sobre este tema en relación al predominio del sexo masculino, y al grupo etario más afectado que fue de adultos jóvenes, los niveles de CD4+ también fueron similares a otros trabajos.
ABSTRACT Introduction: Cryptococcosis is a systemic mycosis whose etiological agent is called Cryptococcus. Most are caused by C. neoformans (serotypes A and D). C. neoformans is an opportunistic pathogen in AIDS patients. Cryptococcal meningitis occurs most often in HIV-infected people with CD4 + counts <100 cells. Objective: To describe epidemiologically patients with HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis from the Institute of Tropical Medicine in 2019. Methodology: Retrospective, descriptive, observational study. Patients of both sexes, with no age limit with a diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis infected with HIV from the Institute of Tropical Medicine (IMT) in 2019 were included in the study. Demographic characteristics such as age, sex, origin and levels were studied. CD4+. Results: A sample of 43 patients with a diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis associated with HIV was studied, of these, 72.09% were male. The average age was 37.86 ± 13.64 years and it was observed that the most frequent age group was between 20 and 34 years. Regarding the origin, the majority belongs to the Central department 46.51%. Regarding the CD4 + determination, 86.04% had levels <100 cells / ml. Conclusions: The findings are similar to other studies that have been published on this subject in relation to the fact that there was a predominance of males, and that the age group most affected was young adults with an average age of 37.86 ± 13.64 years, CD4 + levels were similar to other studies as well.

ABSTRACT The generalized additive model (GAM) has been used in many epidemiological studies where frequently the response variable is a nonnegative integer-valued time series. However, GAM assume that the observations are independent, which is generally not the case in time series. In this paper, an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) component is incorporated to the GAM. The resulting GAM-ARMA model is based on the generalized linear autoregressive moving average (GLARMA) model where some linear components are replaced by natural splines. Numerical simulations are presented and show that the ARMA component influences the estimation. In a real data analysis of the effects of air pollution on respiratory disease in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, it is shown that the proposed model presents a better fit when compared to the classical GAM approach, that does not take into account the autocorrelation of the data.

OBJECTIVES: To prospectively evaluate demographic, anthropometric and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) METHODS: This was a longitudinal observational study of surviving pediatric post-COVID-19 patients (n=53) and pediatric subjects without laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 included as controls (n=52) was performed. RESULTS: The median duration between COVID-19 diagnosis (n=53) and follow-up was 4.4 months (0.8-10.7). Twenty-three of 53 (43%) patients reported at least one persistent symptom at the longitudinal follow-up visit and 12/53 (23%) had long COVID-19, with at least one symptom lasting for >12 weeks. The most frequently reported symptoms at the longitudinal follow-up visit were headache (19%), severe recurrent headache (9%), tiredness (9%), dyspnea (8%), and concentration difficulty (4%). At the longitudinal follow-up visit, the frequencies of anemia (11% versus 0%, p=0.030), lymphopenia (42% versus 18%, p=0.020), C-reactive protein level of >30 mg/L (35% versus 0%, p=0.0001), and D-dimer level of >1000 ng/mL (43% versus 6%, p=0.0004) significantly reduced compared with baseline values. Chest X-ray abnormalities (11% versus 2%, p=0.178) and cardiac alterations on echocardiogram (33% versus 22%, p=0.462) were similar at both visits. Comparison of characteristic data between patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit and controls showed similar age (p=0.962), proportion of male sex (p=0.907), ethnicity (p=0.566), family minimum monthly wage (p=0.664), body mass index (p=0.601), and pediatric pre-existing chronic conditions (p=1.000). The Pediatric Quality of Live Inventory 4.0 scores, median physical score (69 [0-100] versus 81 [34-100], p=0.012), and school score (60 [15-100] versus 70 [15-95], p=0.028) were significantly lower in pediatric patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit than in controls. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric patients with COVID-19 showed a longitudinal impact on HRQoL parameters, particularly in physical/school domains, reinforcing the need for a prospective multidisciplinary approach for these patients. These data highlight the importance of closer monitoring of children and adolescents by the clinical team after COVID-19.

Abstract The clinical features of COVID-19 differ substantially upon the presence (or absence) of viral pneumonia. The aim of this article was to describe the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients admitted to the Internal Medicine ward, as divided into those with and without pneumonia. This single-center prospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary teaching public hospital in Buenos Aires City named Hospital General de Agudos Carlos G. Durand. Baseline data collection was performed within 48 hours of admission and patients were followed until discharge or in-hospital death. Epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics together with treatment data were obtained from the medical records. Of the 417 included, 243 (58.3%) had pneumonia. Median age was 43 years (IQR:32-57) and 222 (53.2%) were female. The overall crude case-fatality rate was 3.8%. None of the COVID-19 patients without pneumonia developed critical disease, required invasive mechanical ventilation nor died during hospitalization. However, 7 (4%) developed severe disease during follow-up. Among patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, in-hospital mortality rate was 6.6%, severe disease developed in 81 (33.3%), critical disease in 23 (9.5%), and 22 (9.1%) were admitted to the intensive care unit. A largely good prognosis was observed among COVID-19 patients without pneumonia, still, even among this group, unfavorable clinical progression can develop and should be properly monitored. Critical illness among patients with COVID-19 pneumonia was frequent and observed rates from this cohort provide a sound characterization of COVID-19 clinical features in a major city from South America.
Resumen Las características clínicas del COVID-19 difieren sustancialmente según la presencia (o ausencia) de neumonía viral. El objetivo de este artículo fue describir las características clínicas de los pacientes con COVID-19 internados en el servicio de Clínica Médica, divididos en pacientes con y sin neumonía. Fue un estudio de cohorte prospectivo, con base en un único centro, realizado en un hospital público de la ciudad de Buenos Aires: Hospital General de Agudos Carlos G. Durand. La recolección basal de datos se realizó dentro de las 48 horas del ingreso y los pacientes fueron seguidos hasta el alta o la muerte hospitalaria. Las características epidemiológicas, clínicas, de laboratorio y radiológicas junto con los datos del tratamiento se obtuvieron de la historia clínica. De los 417 incluidos, 243 (58.3%) tenían neumonía. La mediana de edad fue de 43 años (RIC: 32-57) y 222 (53.2%) eran mujeres. La tasa global de letalidad fue del 3.8%. Ninguno de los pacientes con COVID-19 sin neumonía desarrolló enfermedad crítica, requirió ventilación mecánica invasiva ni falleció durante la hospitalización. Sin embargo, 7 (4%) desarrollaron enfermedad grave durante el seguimiento. Entre aquellos con neumonía COVID-19, la tasa de mortalidad hospitalaria fue del 6.6%, se desarrolló enfermedad grave en 81 (33.3%), enfermedad crítica en 23 (9.5%) y 22 (9.1%) fueron trasladados a la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Los pacientes con COVID-19 sin neumonía presentaron buen pronóstico; sin embargo, incluso en este grupo, se observaron algunos con progresión clínica desfavorable, por lo que se requirió seguimiento adecuado. En los pacientes con neumonía por COVID-19, el desarrollo de enfermedad crítica fue frecuente y las tasas observadas en esta cohorte proporcionan una caracterización sólida de las características clínicas de los pacientes con COVID-19 en una importante ciudad de América del Sur.

Questions regarding the transmissibility of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) remain unanswered. It is known that the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) occurs predominantly through droplets and contact. However, aerosols can be generated in some situations, such as orotracheal intubation, ventilation, and the use of electric or ultrasonic scalpels, and can therefore potentially contaminate the care team if adequate protection is not used. It is therefore necessary to assess issues of transmissibility of COVID-19 during surgery in infected patients. This review gathers the recent research pertaining to this topic. A search of the literature was performed using the PubMed and UpToDate databases with the search terms “surgery” and “covid-2019,” in addition to other MeSH variants of these terms. We do not have consistent evidence on the exposure of healthcare professionals assisting patients with COVID-19 undergoing laparoscopy or the impact of such exposure. In view of the evidence obtained and drawing parallels with other infectious and contagious diseases, medical personnel must wear complete protective attire for proper protection against the generated aerosol. Further studies are required to assess the impact of such surgeries on healthcare professionals conducing or assisting with these procedures.

ABSTRACT Mandacaru (Cereus jamacaru DC - Cactaceae) possesses peculiar physiological and morphological characteristics that allow it to withstand long periods of scarcity and to adapt to different environments. Several uses have also been reported for the species from the 17th century to the present day. Given this history and the importance of the usage of mandacaru, the present investigation aimed to gather information about its uses from different documentary sources, and to perform a comparative analysis between past and present uses. Historia Naturalis Brasiliae by Piso and Marcgrave (17th century) served as the primary source, while information on labels of exsicates in botanical collections, basic scientific literature, and applications for patent filing at INPI, EPO, USPTO, WIPO (until October 2017), served as secondary sources. According to established categories of use, both the primary source and secondary sources revealed that mandacaru has had several applications, among which use for food and medicinal purposes stand out. Other uses, such as ornamental, magical-religious, civil construction and rural fences, were also reported. Despite the numerous references of usage in the documentary sources, knowledge about the potential use of C. jamacaru is not widely spread nor well protected.

Resumo Objetivo Comparar concentrações séricas de IgE específica e diâmetros médios das pápulas induzidas no teste cutâneo de leitura imediata com leite de vaca e suas frações com resultados do teste de provocação oral e estabelecer pontos de corte, capazes de predizer reatividade clínica ao leite de vaca em pacientes atendidos em um serviço de referência. Métodos Cento e vinte e duas crianças (mediana 17 meses), com história de reações imediatas ao leite de vaca e presença de IgE específicas para leite de vaca e/ou frações (testes cutâneos e/ou IgE sérica positivos) foram submetidas ao teste de provocação oral aberto com leite de vaca. Resultados O teste de provocação oral foi positivo em 59,8% das crianças, 49% eram do sexo masculino. Os níveis séricos de IgE específica, assim como os diâmetros médios das pápulas para leite de vaca, foram significantemente maiores nos alérgicos (medianas: 3,39kUA/L vs. 1,16 kUA/L; 2,5 mm vs. 0 mm). Os "pontos de corte ótimos" (Índice de Youden) das IgE séricas específicas para o leite de vaca e suas frações capazes de predizer a reatividade ao leite de vaca (teste de provocação oral positivo) foram: 5,17kUA/L para o leite de vaca, 0,95 kUA/L para α-lactoalbumina, 0,82kUA/L para β-lactoglobulina e 0,72kUA/L para caseína e para os diâmetros de pápulas foram 3,5 mm para leite de vaca e 6,5 mm, 9,0 mm e 3,0 mm para as frações α-lactoalbumina, β-lactoglobulina e caseína, respectivamente. Conclusões Os níveis de corte capazes de predizer reatividade clínica ao leite de vaca foram: 5,17kUA/L para IgE sérica específica e 3,5 mm para a medida do diâmetro da pápula, valores considerados discriminatórios para o diagnóstico da alergia ao leite de vaca.
Abstract Objective To compare serum concentrations of specific IgE and mean papule diameters induced in the immediate skin reactivity test with cow's milk and its fractions with results of the oral challenge test, and to establish cutoff points capable of predicting clinical reactivity to cow's milk in patients treated at a referral service. Methods One hundred and twenty-two children (median of 17 months) with a history of immediate reactions to cow's milk and presence of specific IgE for cow's milk and/or its fractions (positive skin and/or IgE serum tests) were submitted to open oral challenge test with cow's milk. Results The oral challenge test was positive in 59.8% of the children, 49% of whom were males. Serum levels of specific IgE, as well as mean cow's milk papule diameters, were significantly higher in allergic patients (medians: 3.39 kUA/L vs. 1.16 kUA/L, 2.5 mm vs. 0 mm). The optimal cutoff points (Youden's index) of serum IgE specific for cow's milk and its fractions capable of predicting cow's milk reactivity (positive oral challenge test) were: 5.17 kUA/L for cow's milk, 0.95 kUA/L for α-lactalbumin, 0.82 kUA/L for β-lactoglobulin, and 0.72 kUA/L for casein, whereas for papule diameters the cutoff points were 3.5 mm for cow's milk and 6.5 mm, 9.0 mm, and 3.0 mm for the α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, and casein fractions, respectively. Conclusions The cutoff points capable of predicting clinical reactivity to cow's milk were: 5.17 kUA/L for serum-specific IgE and 3.5 mm for papule diameter measurement, values considered discriminatory for the diagnosis of cow's milk allergy.

Abstract Despite the successful clinical application of titanium (Ti) as a biomaterial, the exact cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for Ti osseointegration remains unclear, especially because of the limited methodological tools available in this field. Objective: In this study, we present a microscopic and molecular characterization of an oral implant osseointegration model using C57Bl/6 mice. Material and Methods: Forty-eight male wild-type mice received a Ti implant on the edentulous alveolar crest and the peri-implant sites were evaluated through microscopic (μCT, histological and birefringence) and molecular (RealTimePCRarray) analysis in different points in time after surgery (3, 7, 14 and 21 days). Results: The early stages of osseointegration were marked by an increased expression of growth factors and MSC markers. Subsequently, a provisional granulation tissue was formed, with high expression of VEGFb and earlier osteogenic markers (BMPs, ALP and Runx2). The immune/inflammatory phase was evidenced by an increased density of inflammatory cells, and high expression of cytokines (TNF, IL6, IL1) chemokines (CXCL3, CCL2, CCL5 and CXC3CL1) and chemokine receptors (CCR2 and CCR5). Also, iNOS expression remained low, while ARG1 was upregulated, indicating predominance of a M2-type response. At later points in time, the bone matrix density and volume were increased, in agreement with a high expression of Col1a1 and Col21a2. The remodelling process was marked by peaks of MMPs, RANKL and OPG expression at 14 days, and an increased density of osteoclasts. At 21 days, intimate Ti/bone contact was observed, with expression of final osteoblast differentiation markers (PHEX, SOST), as well as red spectrum collagen fibers. Conclusions: This study demonstrated a unique molecular view of oral osseointegration kinetics in C57Bl/6 mice, evidencing potential elements responsible for orchestrating cell migration, proliferation, ECM deposition and maturation, angiogenesis, bone formation and remodeling at the bone-implant interface in parallel with a novel microscopic analysis.

Introducción: La bacteremia por Staphylococcus coagulasa negativo (SCN) es una infección que actualmente genera significativa morbimortalidad dado el tipo de pacientes a los que afecta y el cambio en el perfil de susceptibilidad a los antibióticos. Objetivo: Describir características de los pacientes con aislamientos de SCN en sangre con CIM para vancomicina ≥2. Metodología: Estudio observacional descriptivo en pacientes hospitalizados ≥ 15 años. Resultados: De 130 aislamientos, 38 (29,23%) tenían CIM para vancomicina ≥ 2. La mediana de edad fue de 54 años y la razón hombre:mujer, de 1,37:1. Las especies más frecuentes fueron: S. epidermidis (71,1%), S. haemolyticus (13,2%) y S. hominis (7,9%). El 44,7% tenían antecedentes de inmunosupresión, siendo las más importantes: neoplasias (28,9%), enfermedad reumatológica (5,2%) y VIH (2,6%). El 81,5% tenían accesos vasculares, el 97,3% antecedente de hospitalización previa y el 60,5% habían requerido manejo en la UCI. El 81,4% tuvieron exposición previa a antibióticos, y los más utilizados fueron: betalactámicos (78,9%) y vancomicina (50%). En el 2,6% se documentó endocarditis infecciosa. De los aislamientos de SCN con CIM para vancomicina ≥2 µg/ml, el 26,3% fueron sensibles a meticilina. Los principales tratamientos recibidos fueron: daptomicina (31,5%), vancomicina (21%), linezolid (15,7%) y betalactámicos (10,5%). Se utilizó terapia combinada en el 10,5%. La mortalidad general fue del 15,8%, y la mortalidad atribuible, del 33,3%. Conclusión: Un porcentaje considerable de aislamientos tenían heterorresistencia para vancomicina. La bacteremia estuvo asociada con accesos vasculares, hospitalizaciones previas, tratamientos en cuidado intensivo y exposición previa a antibióticos. La inmunosupresión es la comorbilidad más importante, y la mortalidad es significativa.
Introduction: Currently, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) bacteremia is an infection that leads to significant morbidity and mortality given the type of patients affected and the recent changes in antimicrobial susceptibility. Objective: To describe the characteristics of patients with CNS blood isolates with vancomycin MIC ≥ 2. Methodology: Descriptive observational study on hospitalised patients ≥ 2 15 years of age. Results: Of 130 isolates, 38 (29,23%) contained vancomycin MIC ≥ 2. The median age was 54 years and the male:female ratio was 1.37:1. The most frequent species were S. epidermidis (71.1%), S. haemolyticus (13.2%) and S. hominis (7.9%). Some 44.7% of patients had a history of immunosuppression, including: neoplasms (28.9%), rheumatologic disease (5.2%) and HIV (2.6%). Some 81,5% had vascular access; 97.3% had previous hospitalisations and 60.5% had required intensive care. A total of 81.4% of the patients had prior exposure to antibiotics and the most commonly used were beta-lactams (78.9%) and vancomycin (50%). Infective endocarditis was documented in 2.6%. Of the CNS isolates with vancomycin MIC ≥ 2, 26.3% were sensitive to methicillin. The main treatments received were: daptomycin (31.5%), vancomycin (21%), linezolid (15.7%) and betalactams (10.5%). Combined therapy was performed in 10.5%. The overall mortality was 15.8% and attributable mortality was 33.3%. Conclusion: A significant proportion of isolates were hetero-resistant to vancomycin. The bacteremia was associated with vascular access, previous hospitalisations, intensive care treatments and prior antibiotic exposure. Immunosuppression is the most important comorbidity and mortality is significant.

RESUMO Agapanthus (Agapanthaceae) possui 10 espécies descritas. No entanto a maioria dos taxonomistas difere relativamente a este número, devido à grande plasticidade fenotípica das espécies. A citogenética tem sido uma ferramenta importante para auxiliar a identificação de taxa de plantas, e até o momento, todas as espécies de Agapanthus L'Héritier estudadas citologicamente, apresentaram 2n = 30. Embora as espécies possuam grandes cromossomos, o grupo é cariologicamente pouco explorado. Este trabalho teve como objetivo aumentar o conhecimento citogenético de Agapanthus africanus (L.) Hoffmanns pela utilização de técnicas de bandeamento cromossômico com DAPI / CMA3 e Hibridização in situ Fluorescente (FISH). Além disso, a citometria de fluxo foi utilizada para a determinação do conteúdo de DNA e do percentual de bases nitrogenadas AT e GC. As plantas estudadas apresentaram 2n = 30 cromossomos, variando de 4,34 - 8,55 µm, com a fórmula cariotípica (KF) = 10m + 5sm. Através da FISH, um sinal para rDNA 45S foi observada proximalmente ao centrômero do cromossomo 7, enquanto que para os sítios de rDNA 5S, observamos um sinal proximal ao centrômero do cromossomo 9. O conteúdo 2C de DNA estimado para a espécie foi de 2C = 24,4 com 59% de AT e 41% de GC. Nossos dados possibilitaram uma atualização importante para a biologia e citotaxonomia de Agapanthus africanus (L.) Hoffmanns.
ABSTRACT Agapanthus (Agapanthaceae) has 10 species described. However, most taxonomists differ respect to this number because the great phenotypic plasticity of the species. The cytogenetic has been an important tool to aid the plant taxon identification, and to date, all taxa of Agapanthus L'Héritier studied cytologically, presented 2n = 30. Although the species possess large chromosomes, the group is karyologically little explored. This work aimed to increase the cytogenetic knowledge of Agapanthus africanus (L.) Hoffmanns by utilization of chromosome banding techniques with DAPI / CMA3 and Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH). In addition, flow cytometry was used for determination of DNA content and the percentage of AT / GC nitrogenous bases. Plants studied showed 2n = 30 chromosomes, ranging from 4.34 - 8.55 µm, with the karyotype formulae (KF) = 10m + 5sm. Through FISH, one 45S rDNA signal was observed proximally to centromere of the chromosome 7, while for 5S rDNA sites we observed one signal proximally to centromere of chromosome 9. The 2C DNA content estimated for the species was 2C = 24.4 with 59% of AT and 41% of GC. Our data allowed important upgrade for biology and cytotaxonomy of Agapanthus africanus (L.) Hoffmanns.

Cetengraulis edentulus is a broadely distributed engraulid in Southwest Atlantic, currently accounting for the main fish species commercially exploited at Guanabara Bay, Brazil. This study aimed to extend the knowledge on reproduction of C. edentulus at Guanabara Bay and to test whether some descriptors of reproductive activity, especially the gonadosomatic index (GSI), and the index of reproductive activity (IRA) changed among seasons. A total of 978 C. edentulus specimens were retrieved from purse seine commercial landings at Conservas Rubi S.A. company, in São Gonçalo city, RJ. Subsamples of 90-120 individuals were collected from bimonthly yields between July 2010 (winter) and June 2011 (autumn). Most fish were adults (120-170 mm TL), in response to the high selectivity of commercial fisheries. All descriptors indicated a broad spawning period (late winter to spring), peaking in November, suggesting this is the critical period to protect C. edentulus stocks from overfishing at Guanabara Bay. Fecundity averaged 12,720 oocytes and was positively related to fish size, GSI and fullness index, indicating that preserving larger individuals (TL > 160 mm) could contribute significantly to the reproductive success of C. edentulus, since they produce more oocytes. Cetengraulis edentulus é um engraulídeo amplamente distribuído no Atlântico Sudoeste, sendo um importante recurso comercialmente explorado na baía de Guanabara, Brasil. O presente estudo teve como objetivo ampliar o conhecimento sobre a reprodução de C. edentulus na baía de Guanabara e testar quais descritores da atividade reprodutiva, especialmente o índice gonadossomático (IGS) e o índice de atividade reprodutiva (IAR) se modificaram ao longo das estações do ano. Um total de 978 indivíduos de C. edentulus foram capturados pelo método de rede de cerco da frota comercial no cais da empresa Conservas Rubi S.A., na cidade de São Gonçalo, RJ. Subamostras de 90-120 indivíduos de C. edentulus foram coletados bimestralmente durante o período de julho de 2010 (inverno) e junho de 2011 (outono). A maioria dos indivíduos foram adultos (120-170 mm CT), em resposta a alta seletividade das capturas comerciais. Todos os índices indicaram um amplo período reprodutivo (final do inverno e primavera), com pico em novembro, sugerindo que este seria um período crítico para preservar os estoques de C. edentulusda sobrepesca na baía de Guanabara. A fecundidade média foi de 12720 ovócitos e foi positivamente relacionada com tamanho do peixe, IGS e índice de repleção, indicando que preservar maiores indivíduos (CT > 160 mm) poderia contribuir significativamente para o sucesso reprodutivo de C. edentulusna área, visto que esses indivíduos produzem um maior número de ovócitos.
