ABSTRACT Understanding the green dwarf coconut palm development is essential to improve its management. This study aimed to characterize and understand the seasonality of the green dwarf coconut palm development and yield under rainfed and irrigated conditions in the northeastern region of the Pará state, Brazil. The longitudinal and transverse diameters, fruit mass and yield, in addition to the number of live leaves, live bunches, fruits of the bunches nº 11 and 14 and female fowers were monitored. The coconuts between the bunches nº 20 and 22 showed larger dimensions and biomass (fresh and dry). The partition of the production components varies according to the time of the year, with the liquid albumen mass, which is a component of greater commercial focus, being higher in the rainy season, with lower percentage losses in the irrigated cultivation. The meteorological seasonality plays a key role in fower dropping and fruit abortion, directly contributing to the amount of produced fruits.

RESUMO Compreender o desenvolvimento do coqueiro-anão-verde é essencial para melhorar seu manejo. Objetivou-se caracterizar e entender a sazonalidade do desenvolvimento e a produção de frutos do coqueiro-anão-verde sob condições de sequeiro e irrigação na região nordeste do Pará, Brasil. Foram monitorados os diâmetros longitudinal e transversal, massa e produtividade dos frutos, além do número de folhas vivas, cachos vivos, frutos dos cachos nº 11 e 14 e fores femininas. Os cocos entre os cachos nº 20 e 22 apresentam maiores dimensões e biomassa (fresca e seca). A repartição dos componentes da produção varia conforme a época do ano, sendo a massa de albúmen líquido, componente de maior enfoque comercial, maior no período chuvoso, com menores perdas percentuais no cultivo irrigado. A sazonalidade meteorológica desempenha papel fundamental na queda das fores e no aborto dos frutos, contribuindo diretamente para a quantidade de frutos produzidos.

ABSTRACT Native species planted in areas previously occupied by degraded pasture can play an important role in biomass supply and atmospheric carbon sequestration. Evaluating the performance of native species in different planting spacings becomes important for forestry and the management of new species with economic potential. Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum is a non-traditional species in the southeastern region of Brazil and it was established in pasture areas to evaluate growth, biomass, and carbon stock. Five planting spacings (3 m x 2 m, 3 m x 3 m, 4 m x 3 m, 4 m x 4 m, and 5 m x 5 m, in monoculture) were tested in 9 experimental plots. The biomass of the shoot and root, as well as the carbon content, were obtained by the direct method. The biomass varied 31.4 and 52.9 kg tree-1 in the spacing 3 m x 2 m and 5 m x 5 m, respectively. The greater carbon stock was observed in the lower spacing (19.43 Mg ha-1), 50% higher than in the larger spacing. The spacing did not influence the biomass and carbon stock in the roots per unit area. The performance of the species should be monitored at advanced ages given the different responses to planting spacing and competition between plants.

RESUMO Espécies nativas plantadas em locais anteriormente ocupados por pastagem degradada podem desempenhar um papel importante no suprimento de biomassa e no sequestro de carbono atmosférico. Avaliar o desempenho das espécies nativas em diferentes espaçamentos de plantio se torna importante para a silvicultura e o manejo de novas espécies com potencial econômico. Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum é uma espécie não tradicional na região sudeste do Brasil, e foi estabelecida em área de pastagem com objetivo de avaliar o crescimento, a biomassa e o estoque de carbono. Foram testados cinco espaçamentos de plantio em monocultivo (3 m x 2 m, 3 m x 3 m, 4 m x 3 m, 4 m x 4 m e 5 m x 5 m) com 9 parcelas experimentais. A biomassa da parte aérea e radicular, bem como o teor de carbono foram obtidos por meio do método direto. A biomassa variou 31.4 and 52.9 kg árvore-1 nos espaçamentos 3 m x 2 m e 5 m x 5 m, repectivamente. O maior estoque de carbono foi observado no espaçamento mais adensado (19.43 Mg ha-1), sendo 50% maior do que no espaçamento menos adensado. O espaçamento não influenciou a biomassa e o estoque de carbono nas raízes por unidade de área. O desempenho da espécie deveria ser monitorado em idades avançadas dado as diferentes respostas ao espaçamento de plantio e competição entre plantas.

ABSTRACT Background: The rate of tuberculosis (TB) infection among the prison population (PP) in Brazil is 28 times higher than that in the general population, and prison environment favors the spread of TB. Objective: To describe TB transmission dynamics and drug resistance profiles in PP using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Methods: This was a retrospective study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cultivated from people incarcerated in 55 prisons between 2016 and 2019; only one isolate per prisoner was included. Information about movement from one prison to another was tracked. Clinical information was collected, and WGS was performed on isolates obtained at the time of TB diagnosis. Results: Among 134 prisoners included in the study, we detected 16 clusters with a total of 58 (43%) cases of M. tuberculosis. Clusters ranged from two to seven isolates with five or fewer single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences, suggesting a recent transmission. Six (4.4%) isolates were resistant to at least one anti-TB drug. Two of these clustered together and showed resistance to rifampicin, isoniazid, and fluoroquinolones, with 100% concordance between WGS and phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing. Prisoners with clustered isolates had a high amount of movement between prisons (two to eight moves) during the study period. Conclusions: WGS demonstrated the recent transmission of TB within prisons in Brazil. The high movement among prisoners seems to be related to the transmission of the same M. tuberculosis strain within the prison system. Screening for TB before and after the movement of prisoners using rapid molecular tests could play a role in reducing transmission.

ABSTRACT Objectives: Evaluate the efficacy and effects of releasing the muscles of subluxated hips of patients with SCZ. Methods: This is a retrospective study with 29 patients with subluxation of the hip, corresponding to 55 hips operated in a public hospital in Recife, Brazil. Preoperative femoral head migration (PM) percentages were evaluated and compared with 6- and 12-month postoperative results. Results: Twenty-nine patients were eligible, representing 55 hips evaluated. 19 were female (65.5%), with a mean age of 31.45 months (ranging from 23 to 42 years). 19 patients were GMFCS level V (65.5%), 34.5% were level IV, and 20 of the 29 patients (69%) had no complications. The PM had an absolute reduction of 11.6% (GMFCS IV) and 13.31% (GMFCS V) in the first six months. After 12 months, there was a regression of MP of 7.14% (GMFCS V) and 11.25% (GMFCS IV) compared to preoperative values, with no significant statistical difference among MP values presented between 6 and 12 months after surgery. Conclusions: The surgery was effective in PM regression during the analyzed period and presented a low complication rate. Level of Evidence III; Comparative retrospective study.

Abstract The ‘Ubá’ mango tree is found in all the cities of the Zona da Mata and its fruits are destined for both in natura consumption and for processing. However, there is a great heterogeneity among plants in the orchards, which contributes to low productivity. This study aimed to evaluate and select superior accessions of ‘Ubá’ mango trees collected in Ubá, Visconde do Rio Branco, and Viçosa, based on agronomic characteristics, aiming to produce high-quality fruits. The experiment was installed in Visconde do Rio Branco, MG. We evaluated 195 ‘Ubá’ mango tree accessions, in a completely randomized design, with four replications, of one tree each. The productions of the first five crops (mass and number of fruits, and alternate bearing index - per plant), and the fruit quality characteristics from the 2017-2018 crop (fruit, peel, seed and pulp masses; length, ventral and transversal diameters, peel and pulp color index, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, vitamin C and total carotenoids content of the pulp) were evaluated. Seventy-eight accessions of ‘Ubá’ mango trees were selected, 24 were based on accumulated production, over 200 kg of fruits per plant, and 59 accessions were based on fruit quality characteristics.

Resumo A mangueira ‘Ubá’ é encontrada em todos os municípios da Zona da Mata, e seus frutos são destinados tanto para consumo in natura como para o processamento. No entanto, há grande heterogeneidade entre plantas nos pomares, o que contribui para a baixa produtividade da cultura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar e selecionar acessos superiores de mangueiras ‘Ubá’ coletados em Ubá, Visconde do Rio Branco e Viçosa, com base em características agronômicas, visando à produção de frutos de qualidade. O experimento foi instalado em Visconde do Rio Branco-MG. Foram avaliados 195 acessos de mangueira ‘Ubá’, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, de uma árvore cada. Foram avaliadas as produções das cinco primeiras safras (massa, número de frutos e índice de alternância de produção por planta) e as características de qualidade dos frutos, da safra 2017-2018 (massa do fruto, da casca, da semente e da polpa, comprimento, diâmetro ventral e transversal, índice de cor de casca e polpa, teor de sólidos solúveis, acidez titulável, vitamina C e teor de carotenoides totais da polpa). Foram pré-selecionados 78 acessos de mangueiras ‘Ubá’, sendo 24 com base em produção acumulada superior a 200 kg de frutos por planta e 59 acessos com base em características de qualidade dos frutos.

Abstract Forests play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Among the factors that can affect carbon stocks in forest stands, planting spacing stands out. This study verified the effect of spacing on biomass and carbon stock in a stand of Anadenanthera peregrina (L.) Speg at 56 months of age. They were planted with 3 x 2 m, 3 x 3 m, 4 x 3 m, 4 x 4 m and 5 x 5 m spacings. The biomass of the above-ground compartments (stem, branches, leaves and bark) and root biomass was quantified, totalling 16.42 and 6.68 Mg ha-1, respectively. The largest amount of biomass and carbon stock occurred in the denser spacings. Total biomass was twice as large at 3 x 2 m spacing compared to 5 x 5 m spacing. The root biomass represented 40.93% of the total biomass. The order of participation of the components in the total aboveground biomass was branches (44.99%), stem (40.77%), leaves (13.99%) and bark (4.90%). The denser spacings (3 x 2 m and 3 x 3 m) showed higher values of biomass and carbon stock than the wide spacings (4 x 3 m, 4 x 4 m and 5 x 5 m). There was no effect of planting spacing on carbon stock in necromass and soil.

Resumo As florestas desempenham um importante papel no ciclo do carbono. Dentre os fatores que podem afetar os estoques de carbono nos povoamentos florestais, o espaçamento de plantio tem grande relevância. O objetivo foi verificar o efeito do espaçamento na biomassa e no estoque de carbono em um povoamento de Anadenanthera peregrina (L.) Speg aos 56 meses de idade. O povoamento foi implantado nos espaçamentos 3 x 2 m, 3 x 3 m, 4 x 3 m, 4 x 4 m e 5 x 5 m. Quantificou-se a biomassa dos compartimentos acima do solo (madeira, galhos, folhas e casca) e da raiz, totalizando 16,42 e 6,68 Mg ha-1, respectivamente. A maior quantidade de biomassa e estoque de carbono ocorreu nos menores espaçamentos. A biomassa total foi duas vezes maior no espaçamento de 3 x 2 m em comparação com o espaçamento de 5 x 5 m. A biomassa abaixo do solo representou 40,93% da biomassa total. A ordem de participação dos componentes na biomassa aérea total foi galhos (44,99%), madeira (40,77%), folhas (13,99%) e casca (4,90%). Os espaçamentos mais densos (3 x 2 e 3 x 3 m) apresentaram maiores valores de biomassa e estoque de carbono do que os espaçamentos mais amplos (4 x 3 m, 4 x 4 m e 5 x 5 m). Não houve efeito do espaçamento de plantio sobre o estoque de carbono na necromassa e no solo.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

ABSTRACT The SISBIOTA-BRASIL was a three-year multimillion-dollar research program of the Brazilian government to document plants and animals in endangered/understudied areas and biomes in Brazil. Distributional patterns and the historical events that generated them are extensively unknown regarding Brazilian fauna and flora. This deficiency hinders the development of conservation policies and the understanding of evolutionary processes. Conservation decisions depend on precise knowledge of the taxonomy and geographic distribution of species. Given such a premise, we proposed to research the diversity of Diptera of the Brazilian western arc of Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal in the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Rondônia. Three important biomes of the South American continent characterize these Brazilian states: Amazon forest, Cerrado (Brazilian Savannah), and Pantanal. Besides their ecological relevance, these biomes historically lack intensive entomological surveys. Therefore, they are much underrepresented in the Brazilian natural history collections and in the scientific literature, which is further aggravated by the fact that these areas are being exponentially and rapidly converted to commercial lands. Our project involved over 90 collaborators from 24 different Brazilian institutions and one from Colombia among researchers, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students, and technicians. We processed and analyzed nearly 300,000 specimens from ~60 families of Diptera collected with a large variety of methods in the sampled areas. Here, we provide a detailed overview of the genera and species diversity of 41 families treated. Our results point to a total of 2,130 species and 514 genera compiled and identified for the three states altogether, with an increase of 41% and 29% in the numbers of species and genera known for the three states combined, respectively. Overall, the 10 most species-rich families were Tachinidae, Cecidomyiidae, Tabanidae, Psychodidae, Sarcophagidae, Stratiomyidae, Bombyliidae, Syrphidae, Tephritidae, and Asilidae. The 10 most diverse in the number of genera were Tachinidae, Stratiomyidae, Asilidae, Mycetophilidae, Syrphidae, Tabanidae, Muscidae, Dolichopodidae, Sarcophagidae, and Chloropidae. So far, 111 scientific papers were published regarding taxonomic, phylogenetic, and biogeographical aspects of the studied families, with the description of 101 new species and three new genera. We expect that additional publications will result from this investigation because several specimens are now curated and being researched by specialists.

ABSTRACT Subsistence hunting is the main source of protein for forest reserve dwellers, contributing to the development of spurious infections by Calodium hepaticum, frequently associated with the consumption of the liver from wild mammals. The prevalence of infections by soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) and intestinal protozoa is considered an indicator of the social vulnerability of a country, besides providing information on habits, customs and quality of life of a given population. Intestinal parasites mostly affect poor rural communities with limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. This study reports the results of a parasitological survey carried out in 2017 and 2019, in two municipalities (Xapuri and Sena Madureira) in Acre State. Stool samples were collected from 276 inhabitants. Upon receipt, each sample was divided into two aliquots. Fresh samples without preservative were processed and examined by the Kato-Katz technique. Samples fixed in 10% formalin were processed by the spontaneous sedimentation and the centrifugal sedimentation techniques. Calodium hepaticum eggs were found in three stool samples. The overall STH prevalence was 44.9%. The hookworm prevalence (19.2%) was higher than that of Ascaris lumbricoides (2.5%) and Trichuris trichiura (0.7%), an unexpected finding for municipalities belonging to the Western Brazilian Amazon. When considering parasites transmitted via the fecal-oral route, Endolimax nana and Entamoeba coli showed the highest positivity rates, of 13% and 10.9%, respectively. This study is the first report of spurious infection by C. hepaticum among forest reserve dwellers that consume undercooked liver of lowland pacas. Additionally, this is the first report of Blastocystis sp. in Acre State.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar a proposta metodológica denominada de “Pronta Resposta” modelada nas cidades de Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais) e Natal (Rio Grande do Norte), Brasil. A metodologia visa identificar e delimitar áreas prioritárias para o direcionamento das ações de vigilância em tempo oportuno, buscando a redução da intensidade e velocidade da dispersão de epidemias em áreas urbanas endêmicas. Para tanto, a metodologia utiliza três variáveis, que representam as causas necessárias para a produção e reprodução da dengue: casos notificados (vírus), ovos de Aedes (vetor) e população (hospedeiro). Trata-se de um estudo ecológico que utilizou os dados dos três planos de informações agregados em escalas temporais e espaciais mais finas, de três a quatro semanas e grades de 400 a 600 metros respectivamente. As áreas de pronta resposta foram definidas por meio de análise estatística de varredura Scan, com definição de clusters espaciais simultâneos para os três planos por meio do programa SaTScan. Os resultados observados foram: na cidade de Natal, as áreas definidas como pronta resposta ocuparam em média 15,2% do território do município e concentraram 67,77% dos casos de dengue do período posterior ao utilizado na delimitação das áreas de pronta resposta, e em Belo Horizonte, os números observados foram de 64,16% dos casos em 23,23% do território. Esses resultados foram obtidos em duas cidades com realidades socioambientais e geográficas diferentes e com perfis epidemiológicos também distintos, apontando que a metodologia pode ser aplicada em diferentes realidades urbanas, criando a possibilidade de os programas de controle atuarem em porções reduzidas do território e impactar num alto percentual de casos em tempo oportuno.

The study aimed to present the methodological proposal entitled “Prompt Response”, modelled in the cities of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais State) and Natal (Rio Grande do Norte State), Brazil. The proposal aims to identify and demarcate priority areas for timely targeting of surveillance activities, aiming to reduce the intensity and velocity in the spread of epidemics in endemic urban areas. The methodology uses three variables that represent the necessary causes for the production and reproduction of dengue: notified cases (virus), Aedes eggs (vector), and population (host). This was an ecological study that used data from three information planes aggregated in finer temporal and spatial scales of 3 to 4 weeks and 400 to 600-meter grids, respectively. The prompt response areas were defined by Scan statistical analysis with definition of simultaneous spatial clusters for the three planes via the SaTScan program. In Natal, the areas defined as prompt response occupied, on average, 15.2% of the city’s territory and concentrated 67.77% of the dengue cases in the period following demarcation of the prompt response areas. In Belo Horizonte, the observed proportions were 64.16% of cases in 23.23% of the territory. These results were obtained in two cities with different socioenvironmental and geographic realities and distinct epidemiological profiles, indicating that the methodology can be applied to different urban realities, allowing control programs to concentrate on reduced portions of the territory and impacting a high percentage of cases in timely fashion.

El objetivo del trabajo fue presentar la propuesta metodológica, denominada de “Resposta Rápida”, modelada en las ciudades de Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais) y Natal (Rio Grande do Norte), Brasil. Esta última tiene como meta identificar y delimitar áreas prioritarias para la ejecución de acciones de vigilancia en el momento oportuno, buscando la reducción de la intensidad y velocidad de la dispersión de epidemias en áreas urbanas endémicas. Para tal fin, la metodología utiliza tres variables, que representan las causas necesarias para la producción y reproducción del dengue: casos notificados (virus), huevos de Aedes (vector) y población (huésped). Se trata de un estudio ecológico que utilizó los datos de los tres planos de información agregados en escalas temporales y espaciales más finas, de 3 a 4 semanas y tablas de 400 a 600 metros respectivamente. Las áreas de respuesta rápida se definieron a través del análisis estadístico de exploración Scan, con definición de clústeres espaciales simultáneos para los tres planos mediante el programa SaTScan. Los resultados observados fueron: en la ciudad de Natal, las áreas definidas como de respuesta rápida ocuparon de media un 15,2% del territorio del municipio y concentraron un 67,77% de los casos de dengue del período posterior al utilizado en la delimitación de las áreas de respuesta rápida y, en Belo Horizonte, los números observados fueron un 64,16% de los casos en un 23,23% del territorio. Estos resultados se obtuvieron en dos ciudades con realidades socioambientales y geográficas diferentes y con perfiles epidemiológicos también distintos, apuntando que la metodología se puede aplicar en diferentes realidades urbanas. Dando la posibilidad de que los programas de control actúen en secciones reducidas del territorio e impactar en un alto porcentaje de casos en el momento oportuno.

Abstract Molecular species delimitation methods are efficient tools to identify species, including the discovery of new taxa and cryptic organisms, thus being useful to biodiversity studies. In the present work, 16S mitochondrial sequences and cytochrome oxidase I (COI) were used to evaluate the richness of species in the genus Scinax and Ololygon from a biodiversity hotspot in Atlantic Forest. A total of 109 specimens formally belonging to eight species of Scinax and three species of Ololygon were collected in 13 localities along the state of Bahia (northeastern Brazil) and one site in Espírito Santo (southeastern Brazil). Of the Scinax species collected in this study, three were morphologically differentiated from other described species and identified as putative new species (Scinax sp.1, Scinax sp.2 and Scinax sp.3). The species delimitations were inferred using three different methods: ABGD, PTP and mPTP which allowed recognizing 11 Scinax species and five Ololygon species. Scinax sp. 1, Scinax sp. 2 and Scinax sp. 3, have been confirmed as new putative species and Ololygon argyreornata possibly contains cryptic species. We suggest additional studies, including morphological and bioacoustic data to validate these new putative species.

RESUMO - Variedades de feijão-caupi mais competitivas com plantas daninhas, isoladamente, não serão suficientes para controlar plantas daninhas. Entretanto, a adoção de variedades mais competitivas, juntamente com outras práticas culturais, incluindo densidade de plantio e capinas, propiciará maior controle das plantas daninhas, além de permitir mais tempo ao agricultor para efetuar esse controle. Este trabalho teve os objetivos: a) identificar, em avaliação preliminar (E-1), variedades mais competitivas com plantas daninhas, com base no rendimento de grãos secos; b) dentre as variedades mais competitivas identificadas, distinguir as mais produtivas em termos dos rendimentos de grãos verdes e secos (E-2). As sementes utilizadas em E-1 foram obtidas de produtores, tomados aleatoriamente, em cada um de 48 municípios do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos ao acaso com cinco repetições. Em E-2, foram avaliadas, no delineamento de blocos ao acaso com cinco repetições, as doze variedades que apresentaram os maiores rendimentos de grãos em E-1. Nas duas avaliações, uma só capina foi realizada, aos 30 dias após a semeadura. Em E-1, são superiores as variedades Umarizal, Itaú, Upanema, Lagoa de Pedras, José da Penha e São Tomé. O segundo experimento indicou que a variedade Umarizal é a mais produtiva em termos dos rendimentos de vagens e de grãos verdes. As variedades não diferem quanto ao rendimento de grãos secos. A variedade Umarizal possui potencial para ser utilizada para produção de vagens e grãos verdes e grãos secos. A avaliação preliminar é eficiente em discriminar variedades superiores.

ABSTRACT - Cowpea varieties that are more competitive against weeds are, by themselves, not enough to control the weeds. However, the adoption of more-competitive varieties, together with other cropping practices, including planting density and weeding, can provide greater weed control in addition to affording the farmer more time to carry out this control. This study had the following objectives: a) to identify, in a preliminary evaluation (E-1), varieties that are the most competitive against weeds, based on dry grain yield; b) among the most-competitive varieties, identify the most productive in terms of green and dry grain yield (E-2). The seeds used for E-1 were obtained from producers chosen at random from each of 48 districts in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. A randomized block design with five replications was used. In E-2, the twelve varieties presenting the highest grain yield in E-1 were evaluated in a randomized block design with five replications. In both evaluations, only one weeding was carried out, 30 days after sowing. In E-1, the Umarizal, Itaú, Upanema, Lagoa de Pedras, José da Penha and São Tomé varieties were superior. The second experiment demonstrated that Umarizal is the most productive variety in terms of pod yield and green grain. There is no difference between the varieties for dry grain yield. The Umarizal variety has potential for use in the production of green pods and grains, and of dry grains. The preliminary evaluation is effective in identifying superior varieties.

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar as repercussões da pandemia da COVID-19 em mães-crianças com síndrome congênita do vírus Zika. Métodos: Estudo misto sequencial exploratório (QUAL->QUAN), realizado com 44 mães de crianças com SCZ respondentes de questionário online aplicado entre abril e maio de 2020. Os dados qualitativos foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo temática e os quantitativos à estatística descritiva, com aplicação do teste t de Student emparelhado. A integração dos dados foi realizada de acordo com a técnica joint display . Resultados: O distanciamento físico reconfigura a rotina da mãe-criança, limita a desenvolver atividades no ambiente doméstico, altera hábitos, aumenta a sobrecarga da cuidadora (p<0,05), implica em alteração do padrão do sono e gera sinais de estresse e ansiedade. As mães se preocupam com a diminuição da renda familiar e se esforçam para realizar exercícios de estimulação e atividades escolares no ambiente doméstico após a interrupção dos cuidados profissionais de reabilitação e o fechamento das escolas. Conclusão: A pandemia da COVID-19 repercutiu no incremento de novas tarefas de cuidado com a criança e ambiente doméstico, bem como elevou os níveis de sobrecarga de cuidado das mães, o que pode resultar em alterações importantes na saúde física e mental delas.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic in mothers-children with Congenital Zika Syndrome. Methods: This is a mixed exploratory sequential study (QUAL-> QUAN), carried out with 44 mothers of children with Congenital Zika Syndrome who answered an online questionnaire applied between April and May 2020. Qualitative data were subjected to thematic content analysis and quantitative data to statistics descriptive, with application of paired Student’s t test. Data integration was performed according to the joint display technique. Results: Physical distancing reconfigures the mother-child routine, limits the development of activities in the domestic environment, changes habits, increases caregivers’ burden (p<0.05), implies changes in sleep patterns and generates signs of stress and anxiety. Mothers are concerned about the decrease in family income and strive to perform stimulation exercises and school activities in the domestic environment after the interruption of professional rehabilitation care and the closing of schools. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the increase in new tasks of caring for the child and the home environment, as well as raising the levels of care burden for mothers, which can result in important changes in their physical and mental health.

Abstract The objective of this study was to report helminth parasite species of Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) (sparrow) and to analyze infection rates in relation to total length, body mass and sexual gender of hosts. Each of the 100 sparrows caught in the urban area of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, was weighed, measured, submitted to euthanasia and necropsied for collection of helminths. The helminths and their respective prevalence were: Synhimantus (Dispharynx) nasuta (2%), Aproctella sp. (1%) (Nematoda), Prosthogonimus ovatus (8%), Eumegacetes sp. (2%), Tanaisia zarudnyi (4%) (Digenea), Choanotaenia passerina (26%) (Cestoda), and Mediorhynchus sp. (2%) (Acanthocephala). The prevalence and mean intensity of infection of the C. passerina between male and female hosts did not present significant differences, and there was no correlation between the abundance of parasite species, body mass and total length of the sparrows. The helminth fauna of P. domesticus has remained the same throughout the propagation of this bird for new geographical areas and ecosystems, with the exception of the nematode Aproctella sp., found for the first time parasitizing this host.

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue registrar a las especies de helmintos parásitos de Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) (gorrión) y analizar los índices de infección en relación al género sexual, peso y tamaño de los hospedadores. Para ello, cada uno de los 100 gorriones capturados en el área urbana de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, fue pesado, medido, sometido a eutanasia y a uma necropsia para la recolección de helmintos. Los helmintos y sus respectivas prevalencias fueron: Synhimantus (Dispharynx) nasuta (2%), Aproctella sp. (1%) (Nematoda), Prosthogonimus ovatus (8%), Eumegacetes sp. (2%), Tanaisia zarudnyi (4%) (Digenea), Choanotaenia passerina (26%) (Cestoda), y Mediorhynchus sp. (2%) (Acanthocephala). La prevalencia e intensidad media de la infección por C. passerina entre hospedadores machos y hembras no presentó diferencia significativa, así como no hubo correlación entre la abundancia de esta especie, su masa corporal y la longitud total de los gorriones. La helmintofauna de P. domesticus se ha mantenido a lo largo de la propagación del ave a nuevas áreas geográficas y ecosistemas, con excepción del nemátodo Aproctella sp., encontrado por primera vez parasitando a dicho hospedero.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

ABSTRACT Radiation-induced brachial plexus neuropathy (RIBPN) is a rare and delayed non-traumatic injury to the brachial plexus, which occurs following radiation therapy to the chest wall, neck, and/or axilla in previously treated patients with cancer. The incidence of RIBPN is more common in patients treated for carcinoma of the breast and Hodgkin lymphoma. With the improvement in radiation techniques, the incidence of injury to the brachial plexus following radiotherapy has dramatically reduced. The currently reported incidence is 1.2% in women irradiated for breast cancer. The progression of symptoms is gradual in about two-thirds of cases; the patients may initially present with paresthesia followed by pain, and later progress to motor weakness in the affected limb. We present the case of a 68-year-old female patient with breast cancer submitted to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy in the year 2000. Eighteen years later, she developed symptoms and signs compatible with RIBPN and was successfully submitted to omentoplasty for pain control. Omentoplasty is an alternative treatment for RIBPN refractory to conservative treatment, which seems to be effective in improving neuropathic pain. However, postoperative worsening of the motor strength is a real possibility, and all candidates for this type of surgery must be informed about the risk of this complication.
