    Abstract Background: This is the first record of the alien shrimp Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis in Brazil. The invasion was detected within Marine Extractive Reserves based on eight specimens accidentally caught by local fishermen using trawlnets focused on fisheries of native species. These specimens were transported to the Laboratory of Applied Genetics and morphologically identified as Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis (rainbow shrimp). The taxonomic status of analyzed samples was confirmed by DNA barcoding using a 627-bp fragment of the Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I (COI) gene.
    Results: A single haplotype was recovered from the eight specimens, being identical to a haplotype reported in India, where this species naturally occurs, and in Mozambique, where the rainbow shrimp is considered an invasive species. The present analyses indicated a putative invasive route (i.e., India-Mozambique-Brazil) mediated by shipping trade.
    Conclusions: This study presents the first record of Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis in Brazil, in areas of extractive reserves on the Amazon coast. Notably exotic species can cause imbalance in the ecosystem, harming native species. In view of this, the registration of new invasions is essential as they contribute to the implementation of control plans.

    Abstract Objective: This scoping review aimed to map out currently available definitions and assessment methods of muscle quality in older adults.
    Design: Scoping review.
    Setting and participants: All available studies.
    Methods: Four databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched from inception to May 2022. Title, abstract, and full-text screening were undertaken by 2 reviewers independently. Observational and experimental studies were eligible for inclusion if there was a clear description of muscle quality assessment in individuals aged 60+ years.
    Results: A total of 96 articles were included. Several definitions and assessment methods of muscle quality were identified and divided into 2 main domains: (1) functional domain, and (2) morphological domain. A total of 70% and 30% of the included studies assessed muscle quality in the functional and morphological domains, respectively. In the functional domain, most studies defined muscle quality as the ratio of knee extension strength by leg lean mass (45.9%). In the morphological domain, most studies defined muscle quality as the echo intensity of quadriceps femoris by ultrasound (50.0%).
    Conclusions and implications: There is a substantial heterogeneity of definitions and assessment methods of muscle quality in older adults. Herein, we propose a standardized definition of muscle quality to include terminology, domain, and assessment methods (tests, tools, and body sites). Such standardization may help researchers, clinicians, and decision makers use muscle quality as a potential marker of "skeletal muscle health" in older adults.

    Abstract The Atlantic Forest is a threatened biodiversity hotspot. Anthropogenic and environmental factors affect this biodiversity, including floristics and, consequently, the seed dispersal syndrome. The objective was to evaluate the influence of environmental factors on floristic composition, seed dispersal syndrome and potential for wild fauna refuge, especially birds of the Cracidae family, in a Private Reserve of Natural Heritage (RPPN) in the Atlantic Forest. The study was carried out in a forest fragment of 631 ha in the RPPN Fazenda Macedônia in Ipaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Twenty-three plots (10 × 50 m) were inventoried at three sampling levels with the plots being selectively distributed, considering the different geoenvironments. Environmental factors were divided into edaphic (soil chemical and physical) and landscape (altitude, slope, terrain exposure and edge distance) variables. Species composition and plot groupings by smallest dissimilarity were calculated. The dispersal syndrome and the type of zoochoric dispersal were determined for tree species. The species dispersed by birds had records of occurrence in the verified cracid diet. Two hundred and forty-nine species from 138 genera and 46 tree families were recorded. The dissimilarity between plots ranged from 0.4 to 1.0 forming four groups. Floristic composition was influenced by soil variables (soil pH, available potassium and magnesium, exchangeable aluminum, effective and potential CEC, remaining phosphorus, organic matter and silt) and landscape (altitude). The zoochoric dispersal syndrome was the most frequent, with ornithochory (68.09%) being the most important within this group. In the RRPN, 35 species of tree were recorded in the cracids diet. Tree species composition of varied with edaphic variables and with altitude. The wide distribution of species recorded in cracid diets reaffirms the fragment's potential for the establishment and conservation of these birds, highlighting the importance of creating and protecting private conservation ...

    Abstract The Atlantic Forest is one of the most biodiverse biomes in the world and has been severely degraded and fragmented, with the extirpation of most medium-sized and large vertebrates from the forest remnants. Here we present the results of a survey of medium-sized and large mammals in an area of protected seasonal semideciduous forest, the Floresta da Cicuta Area of Relevant Ecological Interest (ARIE-FC), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, part the Atlantic Forest biome. We used camera traps (2,257 camera days) and direct observations over a 23-month period. We recorded 19 species (including two domestic species), seven of which are classified as at-risk, such as Leopardus guttulus (Hensel, 1872), Sylvilagus tapetillus Thomas, 1913, Alouatta clamitans Cabrera, 1940, and Chrysocyon brachyurus (Illiger, 1815). A diverse terrestrial mammal assemblage in the ARIE-FC reinforces the importance of small forest fragments for the conservation of biodiversity in human-modified landscapes of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

    Abstract Background: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has spread across Brazil with varying incidence rates depending on the affected areas. Due to cocirculation of arboviruses and overlapping disease symptoms, CHIKV infection may be underdiagnosed. To understand the lack of CHIKV epidemics in São José do Rio Preto (SJdRP), São Paulo (SP), Brazil, we evaluated viral circulation by investigating anti-CHIKV IgG seroconversion in a prospective study of asymptomatic individuals and detecting anti-CHIKV IgM in individuals suspected of dengue infection, as well as CHIKV presence in Aedes mosquitoes. The opportunity to assess two different groups (symptomatic and asymptomatic) exposed at the same geographic region aimed to broaden the possibility of identifying the viral circulation, which had been previously considered absent.
    Methodology/principal findings: Based on a prospective population study model and demographic characteristics (sex and age), we analyzed the anti-CHIKV IgG seroconversion rate in 341 subjects by ELISA over four years. The seroprevalence increased from 0.35% in the first year to 2.3% after 3 years of follow-up. Additionally, we investigated 497 samples from a blood panel collected from dengue-suspected individuals during the 2019 dengue outbreak in SJdRP. In total, 4.4% were positive for anti-CHIKV IgM, and 8.6% were positive for IgG. To exclude alphavirus cross-reactivity, we evaluated the presence of anti-Mayaro virus (MAYV) IgG by ELISA, and the positivity rate was 0.3% in the population study and 0.8% in the blood panel samples. In CHIKV and MAYV plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNTs), the positivity rate for CHIKV-neutralizing antibodies in these ELISA-positive samples was 46.7%, while no MAYV-neutralizing antibodies were detected. Genomic sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed CHIKV genotype ECSA in São José do Rio Preto, SP. Finally, mosquitoes collected to complement human surveillance revealed CHIKV positivity of 2.76% of A. aegypti and 9.09% of A. albopictus (although it was far less abundant than A. aegypti) by RT-qPCR.
    Conclusions/significance: Our data suggest cryptic CHIKV circulation in SJdRP detected by continual active surveillance. These low levels, but increasing, of viral circulation highlight the possibility of CHIKV outbreaks, as there is a large naïve population. Improved knowledge of the epidemiological situation might aid in outbreaks prevention.

    Abstract Purpose: Delineate retrospectively and prospectively the incidence and characteristics of transient ST-segment elevation during transseptal puncture.
    Methods: The study retrospectively evaluated 307 patients from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017, and prospectively evaluated 231 patients from January 1, 2018, to July 31, 2019.
    Results: The presence of ST-segment elevation was significantly higher in the prospective sample than in the retrospective sample (5.2% vs. 1.3%, p < 0.05). Between the two groups, there was no significant difference in age, sex, comorbidities, left atrial volume index, and the etiology of atrial fibrillation among patients with ST-segment alteration. In all patients, the ST-segment elevation was observed in the inferior wall derivations, except for one patient with ST elevation in lead I, AVL, V1-V4 during the septal puncture, associated with sinus bradycardia and reversed hypotension with intravenous fluids. Comparative analysis of the systolic and diastolic arterial pressure and the minimum heart rate during the phenomenon demonstrated more severity in the retrospectively evaluated population than in the prospective population. There was a significant association between the occurrence of ST-segment elevation > 2 mm and the presence of symptoms. In these patients, coronary angiography showed no alterations. Atropine was administered to one patient who presented with junctional bradycardia after the puncture. This medication reversed the situation.
    Conclusion: ST-segment elevation is a short-term phenomenon that can occur during transseptal catheterization without clinically evident symptoms. The catheter ablation procedure can be safely concluded despite the occurrence of the phenomenon.

    Abstract Este artigo é o resultado de uma atividade investigativa desenvolvida na disciplina Psicologia e Saúde Coletiva sob a orientação da professora Patrícia Pinto de Paula, ocorrida no primeiro semestre de 2017. O estudo foi sobre o uso abusivo de álcool e outras drogas no Brasil, com enfoque na vertente das políticas públicas de redução de danos. O objetivo é fazer um diálogo entre o que a literatura e legislação trazem especificamente sobre o tema e a prática de observação realizada nos órgãos competentes, um CERSAM AD e uma Unidade Básica de Saúde, em Belo Horizonte. Como metodologia utilizamos a pesquisa qualitativa, através da realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com profissionais atuantes nas unidades citadas. Trata-se de um tema denso e complexo considerado por vários autores como sendo um problema de saúde pública mundial. Os resultados que se destacam são que embora a política de redução de danos aproxima-se do conceito de promoção a saúde ainda necessita de reformulações e fortalecimento da rede.

    Abstract The alarming increase in extreme weather events, such as severe storms with torrential rain and strong winds, is a direct result of climate change. These events have led to discernible shifts in forest structure and the carbon cycle, primarily driven by a surge in tree mortality. However, the impacts caused by these severe storms on the production and carbon increment from coarse woody debris (CWD) are still poorly understood, especially in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Thus, the goal proposed by the study was to quantify the CWD volume, necromass, and carbon stock before and after the occurrence of a severe storm and to determine the importance of spatial, structural, and qualitative variables of trees in the CWD carbon increment. The increase in carbon by the storm was 2.01 MgC ha
