ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the perception and degree of satisfaction of blind individuals regarding an electronic cane prototype with a wearable haptic interface. Methods: Two scenarios with different obstacles were created to conduct tests with the canes (the user’s cane and the prototype one). The perception and satisfaction of participants regarding the electronic cane were assessed using a questionnaire, the number of collisions during the tests, and the time each individual took to complete the course in each scenario. Results: Ten blind individuals who used the white cane participated in this study. Eight were males, and two were females. Their age ranged from 23 to 43 (average 32.3 ± 7.13 years and median 32 years). There was a tendency for fewer collisions with ground obstacles when the electronic cane was used than when the white cane was used. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the number of collisions and the course completion time in each scenario with either canes tested. Conclusion: Overall, the perception and satisfaction of individuals regarding the prototype used were positive.

Este estudio exploró las perspectivas de los profesionales de la salud sobre la presencia familiar durante la atención de un paro cardiopulmonar (PCA) en adultos. Se empleó un diseño observacional transversal, siguiendo las pautas de Fortalecimiento de la Notificación de Estudios Observacionales en Epidemiología (STROBE). Los datos fueron recolectados a través de un formulario electrónico utilizando un método de muestreo no probabilístico, resultando en 221 formularios completados para su análisis. Se encontraron asociaciones significativas entre las perspectivas de los participantes sobre la presencia familiar y sus características demográficas. Los profesionales mayores de 40 años demostraron una mayor prevalencia de aceptación de la presencia familiar (p lt; 0,01). Por el contrario, los profesionales más jóvenes (menores de 40 años) expresaron su preocupación por el posible impacto negativo en la prestación de atención (p = 0,02). La experiencia con presencia familiar fue reportada con mayor frecuencia entre aquellos con 10 o menos años de experiencia profesional (p lt;0,01). Además, los profesionales con más de 20 años de experiencia tenían más probabilidades de creer que la presencia familiar podría alterar la concentración del personal (p = 0,02). Los hallazgos sugieren una tendencia entre los participantes a ver la presencia familiar de manera negativa, a pesar de su potencial para ayudar a las familias a afrontar la pérdida y el dolor. Esta cuestión merece una mayor investigación y discusión.

This study explored healthcare professionals’ perspectives on family presence during adult cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) care. An observational, cross-sectional design was employed, adhering to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Data were collected through an electronic form using a nonprobabilistic sampling method, resulting in 221 completed forms for analysis. Significant associations were found between participants’ perspectives on family presence and their demographic characteristics. Professionals aged over 40 demonstrated a higher prevalence of accepting family presence (p lt; 0.01). Conversely, younger professionals (under 40) expressed concerns about the potential negative impact on care delivery (p = 0.02). Experience with family presence was more commonly reported among those with 10 or fewer years of professional experience (p lt; 0.01). Additionally, professionals with over 20 years of experience were more likely to believe that family presence could disrupt staff concentration (p = 0.02). The findings suggest a tendency among participants to view family presence negatively, despite its potential to help families cope with loss and grief. This issue warrants further investigation and discussion.

RESUMO: A região da Campanha Gaúcha recebeu recentemente, em 2020, a Indicação de Procedência ‘IP Campanha Gaúcha’ para vinhos e espumantes. Dados científicos e pesquisas desenvolvidas nas últimas décadas puderam fornecer as informações necessárias para esta primeira caracterização da área. No entanto, faltam dados detalhados sobre a composição dos vinhos da Campanha Gaúcha. Neste estudo, vinhos de cinco variedades de uva branca (Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc e Chardonnay), produzidos na Campanha Gaúcha na safra 2018, foram coletados diretamente da vinícola e encaminhados para análises de vários compostos voláteis e fenólicos. Essa safra foi classificada entre as melhores das três décadas anteriores para esta região. Os resultados, oriundos dessa excelente safra, demonstram o potencial qualitativo da região para as castas abrangidas por este estudo. São registros importantes para a construção e ampliação de bancos de dados para pesquisas futuras e também podem fornecer embasamento científico para definição mais detalhada das diferenças e semelhanças intra e inter-regionais quanto às características dos vinhos da Campanha Gaúcha.

ABSTRACT: The Campanha Gaúcha region has recently (2020) received an Indication of Provenance (‘IP Campanha Gaúcha’) for wines and sparkling wines. Scientific data and research developed during the last decades could provide the necessary information for this first characterization of the area. Nevertheless, there is a lack of detailed data about the composition of Campanha Gaúcha wines. In this study, five Campanha Gaúcha white wines of different grape varieties (Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay) produced in the 2018 vintage were collected directly from the winery and followed analyses of several volatile and phenolic compounds. The 2018 vintage was rated among the best of the 3 preceding decades for this region. The results, originated from this excellent vintage, demonstrate the qualitative potential of the region for the wines elaborated with the grape varieties covered by this study. They are important records for the construction and enlargement of databases for future research and can also provide further scientific basis for more detailed definition of intra-regional and inter-regional differences and similarities regarding the characteristics of Campanha Gaúcha wines.

RESUMO Os Efeitos de Borda são modificações na vegetação, nas condições microclimáticas e no solo na transição entre o meio exterior e o interior da floresta. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar até quantos metros é perceptível variações florístico estruturais ocasionadas pelo Efeito de Borda, analisando-se o estrato arbóreo e regenerativo de quatro fragmentos de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual localizados no bioma Cerrado. A partir da amostragem realizada nestes quatro fragmentos, foram analisadas, por meio de dendrogramas e regressões, se os parâmetros estruturais podem distinguir regiões de borda e de interior. Para o estrato arbóreo, nos dendrogramas de similaridade (Bray-Curtis e Sørensen), os fragmentos apresentaram grupos com parcelas semelhantes até os 40 metros de borda. Para o estrato regenerativo, os grupos foram mais difíceis em distinguir, mesmo com tendência, a dissimilaridade florística de 15 a 20 m. A partir da Análise de Similaridade (ANOSIM), os grupos foram confirmados estatisticamente. A porcentagem de similaridade (SIMPER) pode relacionar as espécies em função da sua contribuição para a divisão dos grupos e para as áreas de maior interesse. Nas análises dos dados estruturais, não foram comprovadas as relações do n° de árvores, espécies e área basal em função da borda. As análises de similaridade foram capazes de distinguir o interior da borda e mensurar a distância percorrida nos fragmentos estudados, demonstrando que a composição dos primeiros 40 m de floresta pode ser considerada borda. vegetação analisandose analisando Cerrado analisadas regressões BrayCurtis Bray Curtis Sørensen, Sørensen , Sørensen) 4 tendência 1 2 ANOSIM, ANOSIM (ANOSIM) estatisticamente SIMPER (SIMPER interesse n árvores estudados (ANOSIM

ABSTRACT Edge effects are changes in vegetation, microclimate conditions and soil in transition bands between the edge and interior of the forest. The objective of this study was to verify for how many meters it is possible to perceive structural floristic variations caused by the Edge Effect by analyzing the tree and regenerative strata of four seasonal semi-deciduous forests located in the Cerrado Biome, Brazil. Samples were taken from four fragments of semi-deciduous forests in the Cerrado and analyzed by dendrograms and regressions for structural parameters that could distinguish edge and interior regions. In the Bray-Curtis Index and in the Sørensen Coefficient, for the tree stratum, the fragments presented groups with plots close to 40 meters from the edge. For the regenerative stratum the groups were more difficult to distinguish, even with a tendency to floristic dissimilarity of 15 to 20 meters. The groups were statistically confirmed by the Similarity Analysis (ANOSIM). The similarity percentage (SIMPER) can relate the species according to their contribution to the division into groups and to the areas of greatest interest. In the analysis of the structural data, the relationships between the number of trees, species and basal area as a function of the edge were not proven. Similarity analyzes distinguished the interior from the edge and measured the distance covered in the studied fragments, demonstrating that the composition of the first 40 meters of forest can be considered edges. vegetation semideciduous semi deciduous Biome Brazil regions BrayCurtis Bray Curtis Coefficient 4 1 2 ANOSIM.

Abstract Bartonelloses represent a group of potentially fatal diseases associated with various clinical manifestations including endocarditis. Caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Bartonella, these microorganisms have a remarkable ability to infect mammals, and their transmission is commonly associated with hematophagous vectors such as fleas, lice, mosquitoes, and ticks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of Bartonella sp. DNA in 81 triatomines of the species Triatoma sordida collected in the field in peri‑domiciliary areas of the Brazilian city of Seabra, located in the state of Bahia. Nested PCR was conducted targeting the ftsZ gene and real-time PCR targeting the gltA gene, both representing specific reactions for Bartonella henselae. Additionally, conventional PCR targeting kDNA was employed to evaluate the presence of Trypanosoma cruzi. Of the samples tested, 23/81 (28.39 %) bugs showed positive PCR for B. henselae. No sample showed positive PCR for T. cruzi. The high prevalence of triatomines with a positive PCR for B. henselae emphasizes the close relationship between these insects and the bacteria, indicating the need for further studies to investigate the vectorial potential of these kissing bugs. endocarditis mammals fleas lice mosquitoes ticks sp 8 peridomiciliary peri domiciliary Seabra Bahia realtime real time Additionally cruzi tested 2381 23 23/8 28.39 2839 28 39 (28.3 % B T 238 2 23/ 28.3 283 3 (28. 28.

Abstract Objectives: To review and provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of otosclerosis. Methods: Task force members were educated on knowledge synthesis methods, including electronic database search, review and selection of relevant citations, and critical appraisal of selected studies. Articles written in English or Portuguese on otosclerosis were eligible for inclusion. The American College of Physicians’ guideline grading system and the American Thyroid Association’s guideline criteria were used for critical appraisal of evidence and recommendations for therapeutic interventions. Results: The topics were divided into 2 parts: 1) Diagnosis – audiologic and radiologic; 2) Treatment – hearing AIDS, pharmacological therapy, stapes surgery, and implantable devices - bone-anchored devices, active middle ear implants, and Cochlear Implants (CI). Conclusions: The pathophysiology of otosclerosis has not yet been fully elucidated, but environmental factors and unidentified genes are likely to play a significant role in it. Women with otosclerosis are not at increased risk of worsening clinical condition due to the use of contraceptives or during pregnancy. Drug treatment has shown little benefit. If the patient does not want to undergo stapedotomy, the use of hearing aids is well indicated. Implantable systems should be indicated only in rare cases, and the CI should be indicated in cases of profound deafness.

Abstract This article examines the association between levels of compassion fatigue and work engagement with COVID-19 in nursing professionals. A longitudinal, before-and-after study was conducted with nursing professionals working in the frontline in the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. Our study applied the Brazilian versions of the Professional Quality of Life Scale and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. High levels of compassion satisfaction (≥43.0), low levels of burnout (<23.0) and secondary traumatic stress (<23.0), as well as high levels of vigor (≥4.0 and ≤4.99), absorption (≥4.0 and ≤4.99), and overall score (≥4.0 and ≤4.99) were observed. Moderate, negative, and significant correlations of burnout with vigor (r: -0.505; p-value: <0.001), in the pre-pandemic period; and with overall score, in the pre-pandemic (r: -0.543; p-value: <0.001) and pandemic periods (r: -0.458; p-value: <0.001), were also observed. No changes in levels of work engagement were found. Professionals with compassion fatigue showed decreased vigor, absorption, and overall score, rated as medium in the pandemic period (≥2.0 and ≤3.99), and an increased dedication, which was low (≥1.0 and ≤1.99) in the pre-pandemic period.

RESUMO As Florestas Estacionais Sazonalmente Secas (FESS) ocorrentes no Cerrado são caracterizadas pela presença de espécies arbóreas com diferentes níveis de caducifólia nos períodos de estação seca e variam na composição florística dependendo da sua localização geográfica. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo assumir que os padrões florístico-estruturais destas florestas podem ser marcantes, devido às condições ambientais impostas nos ambientes e proximidade com bacias hidrográficas distintas. Foram utilizados levantamentos fitossociológicos realizados em um hectare para 17 fragmentos de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual (FES), onde aferiu-se todos os indivíduos arbóreos a circunferência a altura do peito (CAP) de 1,30cm ≥ 15cm. A avaliação foi feita por meio de uma ordenação por Análise de Componente Principal incluindo variáveis abióticas e estruturais de cada floresta. Para análise de similaridade, foram utilizados dados florísticos em uma matriz de presença-ausência utilizando os dados de ocorrência das espécies identificadas em cada localidade. Para determinar as semelhanças, utilizou-se o coeficiente de similaridade de Sorensen, o índice de Bray-Curtis e o método de agrupamento das médias não ponderadas (UPGMA). Para explorar padrões de abundância, foi feito o Escalonamento Multidimensional Não Métrico (nMDS). Os padrões florísticos-estruturais apontaram a presença de dois grupos florísticos distintos, um menor grupo formando diferentes áreas das bacias hidrográficas do Rio Araguaia e Rio Paraguai, e outro grande grupo formado por áreas da bacia do Paraná, e outras desta mesma bacia, porém mais dissimilares do que as demais. A formação de grupos florísticos reflete que as comunidades analisadas possuem diversas espécies generalistas, pouco exigentes e que se adaptam bem a novas condições, com ocorrência para áreas de florestas estacionais no Cerrado e Mata Atlântica, formando duas províncias distintas situadas, sobretudo na bacia do Araguaia e Paraná.

ABSTRACT Seasonal Forests (FE) occurring in the Cerrado, are characterized by the presence of tree species with different deciduous levels on dry seasons and vary in floristic composition depending on their geographic location. The present work has as premise that the floristic-structural patterns of these forests can be remarkable, due to the environmental conditions imposed by the environments and proximity to different watersheds. We used sample data of 17 fragments of Semideciduous Seasonal Forest (FE) in the Cerrado. For each sampling site to be inventoried an area of one hectare where the circunference of all the trees were measured at 1.30cm ≥ 15cm were included. An Principal Component Analysis - PCA, including abiotic and structural variables of each forest were made. For similarity analysis we used the floristic data in an absence-presence matrix of species and a number of trees of each species data. To determine floristic patters we use the Sorensen and Bray-Curtis similarity and made a cluster with the Unweighted Average Grouping Method (UPGMA). To explore the patterns of abundance performed in the Non-Metric multidimensional Scale (nMDS). The floristic-structural patterns indicated the presence of two distinct floristic groups, a smaller group formed different areas of the Araguaia and Paraguay River watersheds, and another large group formed by areas of the Paraná basin, and other others, even basin, more dissimilar than too much. The formation of floristic groups reflects that, as analyzed communities, there are several generalist species that are not very demanding and that adapt to new conditions, occurring in non-Cerrado and Atlantic Forest seasonal forest areas, forming two diverse tests located mainly in the Araguaia basin and Paraná.

Abstract Introduction Auditory-evoked potentials are influenced by several factors, including polarity, filter, stimulus intensity and stimulation rate. The presentation of higher rates of stimuli per second enables the collection of a greater number of responses in a given period of time, promoting a shorter testing time; however, the collected recordings are subject to changes related to wave morphology. Objectives To compare the brainstem auditory-evoked-potential responses with click stimulus with the most commonly used stimulation rates in the clinical practice. Methods The present cross-sectional analytical study was performed with fifteen participants of both genders and normal hearing thresholds. The brainstem auditoryevoked potential was performed at four different stimulation rates (21.1, 26.7, and 27.7 stimuli/s, and a rate determined based on a mathematical calculation using the a measurement of the transmission frequency of the power grid at the time of the examination). Results We observed that the rate of 21.1 stimuli/s showed the highest amplitudes for waves I, III, and V when compared with the other rates. The rate of 26.7 stimuli/s, when compared with 27.7 stimuli/s, showed a higher amplitude for wave V. The latency if wave V was significantly lower with the rate of 21.1 stimuli/s than with 27.7 stimuli/s. Conclusions The stimulation rate interferes with wave latencies and amplitudes; its decrease from 27.7 to 21.1 stimuli/s decreases the latency of wave V and increases the amplitues and improves the morphology of waves I, III and V. In addition, we found evidence that suggests an improvement in the visualization of wave III by adjusting the stimulation rate based on a measurement of the local transmission frequency of the power grid.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the profile of visually impaired and sighted students at the Instituto de Cegos Padre Chico (ICPC) between 2011 and 2020. Methods Between January and March 2021, a document analysis of the students who completed the undergraduate course between 2011 and 2020. Data related to social, educational, socioeconomic, and ophthalmological situation were collected. The data were treated in Microsoft Excel 2013 and analyzed in the free software Bioestat, version 5.0. Results Retrospective data were collected from 110 blind, low-vision and sighted students who were graduating. More than 90% of the students declared family income equivalent to one and a half minimum wages. Of the total sample, 52 students were blind; 38 had low vision, and 20 were sighted students. Among the 36 pathologies identified among the students, 57.78% led to blindness, and 42.22%, to low vision. In blind students, the most frequent diagnosis was congenital glaucoma (32.69%) and Leber congenital amaurosis (11.53%); in low vision students, congenital glaucoma and retinal dystrophies (both in 11.53% of the population of this study). Conclusion The evaluation of the eye health is of vital importance for the teacher to perform teaching practices faster and achieve satisfactory results in the literacy of visually impaired children.

Abstract Objective: To review the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular schwannoma. Methods: Task force members were educated on knowledge synthesis methods, including electronic database search, review and selection of relevant citations, and critical appraisal of selected studies. Articles written in English or Portuguese on vestibular schwannoma were eligible for inclusion. The American College of Physicians’ guideline grading system and the American Thyroid Association’s guideline criteria were used for critical appraisal of evidence and recommendations for therapeutic interventions. Results: The topics were divided into 2 parts: (1) Diagnosis – audiologic, electrophysiologic tests, and imaging; (2) Treatment – wait and scan protocols, surgery, radiosurgery/radiotherapy, and systemic therapy. Conclusions: Decision making in VS treatment has become more challenging. MRI can diagnose increasingly smaller tumors, which has disastrous consequences for the patients and their families. It is important to develop an individualized approach for each case, which highly depends on the experience of each surgical team.
