RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Brazil is among the world's largest producers of eucalyptus and the damage caused by native and invasive insect pests is one of the main factors affecting eucalyptus yield. The recent history of biological invasions of eucalyptus pests in Brazil prompts demand for phytosanitary measures to prevent new invasions. This study used ecological niche models to estimate suitable areas for nine eucalyptus pests. This information was used to assess the potential ports of entry, generate invasion risk maps considering the likelihood of introducing invasive species, and estimate the eucalyptus producing municipalities and areas within the species' suitable range. RESULTS: A large distribution range was predicted for Eucalyptolyma maideni (Hempitera: Aphalaridae), Orgya postica (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Sinoxylon anale (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), and Trachymela sloanei (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Brazil, while a comparatively smaller distribution was predicted for Ophelimus maskelli (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), Mnesampela privata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Paropsis atomaria (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Paropsisterna beata, and P. cloelia (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). High-risk areas of invasion near airports and seaports were predicted mainly in southern, southeastern, and northeastern Brazil. A large proportion of the municipalities (24.4% to 93.7%) and areas with eucalyptus plantations (31.9% to 98.3%) are within the climatically suitable areas estimated for the pests, especially in southern and southeastern regions, which comprises 61.5% of the Brazilian eucalyptus production. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that eucalyptus forestry may be significantly impacted by biological invasion. The findings provided by our study can assist decision-makers in developing phytosanitary measures to prevent new invasions of forest pests in Brazil. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Boardwalk Cisterns is a government program that aims to attend a population with precarious access to water in Brazil. Developed as part of the Zero Hunger strategy, it intends to increase food security and contribute to the realization of the human right to food. The objective of this study was to assess farmers' perceptions of the Boardwalk Cisterns program and its impact on the food security situation of beneficiary households. METHODS: Data were collected through a descriptive cross-sectional quali-quantitative survey. Questionnaires were applied to farming families selected from two municipalities in the state of Alagoas (Northeast Brazil), containing questions on sociodemographic characteristics, production methods, and food security status. The Free Evocation Technique for social representation, analyzed through the software Ensemble of Programs Permettant L'analyze des Évocations, was used to ascertain farmers' perceptions of the program. RESULTS: The study showed a positive perception of the interviewees in relation to the boardwalk cisterns. The program brought some improvement in the agricultural production conditions and, consequently, in the food security situation of the households. Corn, beans and cassava were the most common crops, with almost half of this production (48.3%) destined for consumption by the families themselves. Farmers also reported having more water, allowing them to plant more fruit trees, as well as medicinal and ornamental plants. Nevertheless, 79.1% of the households interviewed were still in a situation of food insecurity, of which 28.1% were classified as mild food insecurity, 26% as moderate food insecurity, and 25% as severe food insecurity. CONCLUSION: Farmers were correct in their perception that the Boardwalk Cisterns program improved their food security situation. The program resulted in greater access to water, and greater production and consumption of food. However, by itself, the Boardwalk Cisterns program was not enough to raise beneficiary families above their food-insecure status. The program alleviated the problem of food insecurity, but other complementary government interventions are needed to guarantee the food security of families living in extreme poverty.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND Pituitary metastasis of thyroid carcinoma is a rare entity. Differential diagnosis with other lesions in the sellar/parasellar region, through clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and imaging is challenging but essential for adequate treatment. CASE REPORT This case report describes a 58-year-old patient with the previous diagnosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma, with metastasis to cervical lymph nodes, bone, and lung, initially evolving to left palpebral ptosis. In the investigation, laboratory tests showed hypopituitarism, and magnetic resonance imaging of the skull showed a suprasellar formation measuring 2.2×3.5×2.5 cm, which increased in size in a few months. The patient underwent transcranial neurosurgery and subsequent immunohistochemical analysis, which confirmed pituitary metastasis of follicular thyroid carcinoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy but died 26 months after the onset of symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The differential diagnosis of pituitary metastasis from a benign lesion is difficult. Therefore, a careful analysis of the history and clinical evolution, use of complementary imaging tests, and, where possible, the histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of the lesion for diagnostic elucidation are necessary.

RESUMO

A proposta de um projeto clínico-assistencial e de formação para o Instituto Raul Soares está assentada em uma pergunta fundamental: qual a vocação clínica desta instituição, quais são os seus princípios operadores da clínica e das suas atividades assistenciais e como podemos transmitir essa vocação clínica aos nossos trabalhadores e parceiros de trabalho da rede de atenção psicossocial? É com base nessa pergunta que desenvolvemos este texto, expondo algumas ideias sobre como tem se dado a efetivação de um projeto clínico-assistencial e de formação de uma instituição de tratamento e ensino que privilegia uma posição de laço com a rede. O nosso orientador para o projeto institucional do IRS é a palavra, e a nossa causa, o laço com o território, com a rede, com a cidade, para a vida do sujeito falante.

The proposal of a clinical-assistance and training project for the Raul Soares Institute (RSI) is based on a fundamental question: what is the clinical vocation of this institution, what are its principles, operating the clinic and its assistance activities and how we can transmit this clinic vocation to our employees and workmates within the psychosocial assistance network? It is based on this question that we have developed this work, unveiling some ideas about how the effectiveness of a clinical-assistance project and the formation of a treatment and teaching institution that privileges a position of bond with the network is being developed. Our guideline to the RSI’s institutional design is the speech, and our cause is the bond with the territory, with the network, the city, for the life of the speaking subject.

RESUMO

Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare complication of endocarditis, rendering poor visual prognosis. We report a case of a 66-year-old female with renal failure who presented with fever, ocular pain, and purulent eye discharge. After a diagnosis of endogenous endophthalmitis, she was treated with antibiotics and enucleation of the eye. Due to persistent fever and positive blood cultures, a transesophageal echocardiography was undertaken, disclosing a large mural vegetation in the right atrium, catheter-associated vegetations, and a patent foramen ovale. Endocarditis is an uncommon source of endogenous endophthalmitis, and has rarely been associated to right-sided endocarditis and paradoxical septic embolization.

RESUMO

OBJETIVOS: Os objetivos deste estudo foram identificar os instrumentos genéricos e específicos utilizados na avaliação da qualidade de vida (QV) e os seus resultados em sobreviventes de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). MÉTODOS: Realizou-se revisão da literatura dos últimos dez anos, com população acima de 18 anos, nos bancos de dados MedLine e Lilacs, cujas publicações utilizassem instrumentos padronizados e validados no país de origem. Combinaram-se os descritores quality of life, cerebrovascular accident, stroke, QV e acidente cerebrovascular. RESULTADOS: Consideraram-se relevantes 96 estudos e 31 entram neste trabalho, de acordo com os critérios de inclusão. Foram encontrados cinco tipos diferentes de instrumentos genéricos/perfil, nove genérico/utility e dois específicos. O mais freqüente foi o SF-36, em 45,2 por cento dos estudos. Observou-se que a baixa QV relacionou-se, principalmente, ao déficit da função física, à presença de depressão ou de seus sintomas, ser do sexo feminino e ser mais idoso. De modo geral, os sujeitos no pós-AVC possuíam pior QV do que aqueles que não sofreram o evento. CONCLUSÃO: Foram encontrados 16 instrumentos para avaliação da QV. A baixa QV foi prevalente nos sobreviventes pós-AVC e se correlacionou com a função física, a depressão, o sexo e a idade.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to identify generical and specific instruments used for valueing quality of life (QOL) and their outcomes in stroke survivors. METHODS: Review of literature of last 10 years, with people above 18 years old, in MedLine and Lilacs database. The instruments used on the studies were validated for the their countries. 96 articles have been considered relevant and 31 were in accordance with inclusion criteria. Five kind of generic/profile, nine generic/utility and two specific instruments were found. The more frequent was SF-36, on the 45,2 percent of the studies. It has been observed that poverty in quality of life was related to defective the physical function, to the presence of depression or its symptoms, to the feminine gender and to being older. In general, survivors of cerebrovascular accident had worse QOL than the ones who did not suffer it. CONCLUSION: It has been found 16 instruments for QOL' assessment. The poverty of QOL was frequent on stroke survivors and was related to physical function, depression, sex and age.
