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.

Abstract Our aim was to investigate if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the 5′ regions of leptin (LEP, -2548 G > A, rs7799039), resistin (RETN, -420 C > G, rs1862513) and adiponectin (ADIPOQ, -11391 G > A, rs17300539 and -11377 C > G, rs266729) genes were related to changes in body mass index (BMI) and metabolic variables after bariatric surgery in 60 extremely obese individuals. At baseline, ADIPOQ -11391 A-allele carriers showed higher plasma adiponectin and lower total cholesterol levels when compared to G/G homozygotes. Approximately 32 months post-surgery, a mean reduction of 35% in BMI and an important improvement in metabolic profiles were observed. In addition, for the ADIPOQ -11377 polymorphism, a higher decrease in lipid profile was associated to the C/C genotype. Moreover, individuals bearing the A-C haplotype for the two ADIPOQ SNPs were more prone to show a reduction in low-density lipoprotein levels after bariatric surgery (-43.0% A-C carriers vs. -18.1% G-G carriers, p = 0.019). We did not find any association of leptin and resistin SNPs with the clinical parameters analyzed. In summary, our results indicate that the A-C haplotype is a predictor of better lipid profile post-surgery and the studied SNPs in ADIPOQ gene are associated to changes in metabolic variables in obese individuals.

OBJETIVO: Aferir complicações pós-operatórias imediatas e tardias em pacientes portadores de hérnia inguinal, submetidos à correção cirúrgica pela técnica de Gilbert1, com utilização do Sistema Prolene de Hérnia (SPH). MÉTODOS: Foram pesquisados todos os pacientes submetidos à herniorrafia inguinal com tela PHS no Hospital São Lucas da PUCRS no período de janeiro de 2001 até ourubro de 2006. As informações foram coletadas de modo retrospectivo, através de contato telefônico e revisão de prontuários. O protocolo de coleta de dados contemplou os aspectos epidemiológicos, bem como as complicações imediatas e tardias. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 96 pacientes. Foram identificadas seis (6,25%) complicações, em pacientes distintos; nenhuma complicação com óbito. Dois pacientes (2,08%) apresentaram seroma; hematoma foi identificado em um paciente (1,04%); um paciente (1,04%) apresentou infecção de ferida operatória. Dois pacientes (2,08%) apresentaram edema escrotal. Após seguimento médio de 49,25 meses (16-86,12) dois pacientes (2,08%) apresentaram dor crônica e um paciente (1,04%) apresentou recorrência, com vinte e seis meses de pós-operatório. CONCLUSÃO: O reparo de hérnias inguinais com tela PHS é um método seguro, eficaz, facilmente reprodutível e com baixas taxas de complicações, recorrência ou sintomas em longo prazo.

OBJECTIVE: To assess immediate postoperative and late complications in patients with inguinal hernia undergoing surgical correction by Gilbert¹ technique, using the Prolene Hernia System (HPS). METHODS: We surveyed all patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair with PHS mesh at The Sao Lucas Hospital - PUCRS, from January 2001 to october 2006. Information was retrospectively collected through telephone calls and chart review. The protocol for data collection included epidemiological aspects, as well as immediate and late complications. RESULTS: ninety-six patients were enrolled. We identified six (6.25%) complications in different patients, none of which resulting in death. Two patients (2.08%) had seroma; hematoma was identified in one patient (1.04%); one patient (1.04%) had wound infection. Two patients (2.08%) had scrotal edema. After a mean follow up of 49.25 months (range 16 to 86.12) two patients (2.08%) had chronic pain and one patient (1.04%) had hernia recurrence twenty-six months after surgery. CONCLUSION: The repair of inguinal hernia with PHS is a safe, effective and reproducible method, with low complication and recurrence rates or long term symptoms.
