Authors: Fonseca Mateus Ramalho Ribeiro da , Peres Samuel Costa , Araújo Eliane Cristina de
Published: July 2016

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o regime de metas de inflação (RMI) no Brasil à luz das experiências de outros países emergentes selecionados, quais sejam: África do Sul, Chile, Colômbia, Coreia do Sul e México. Para tanto, há uma exposição dos contextos nos quais o RMI foi adotado nesses países, bem como uma comparação entre os arranjos desses regimes, para se distinguir suas principais características. Por fim, é estimado um modelo autorregressivo com vetores de correção de erros (VEC) para cada país selecionado, de modo a criar condições para uma análise da eficácia do RMI nessas economias. Os resultados empíricos da pesquisa sugerem que os Regimes de Metas de inflação mais flexíveis (África do Sul, Chile, Colômbia, Coreia do Sul) são relativamente mais eficazes em termos de combate à inflação que os regimes mais rígidos (Brasil e México).

RESUMO A maioria das análises sobre o fenômeno da pobreza tem dado um enfoque especial a sua estrutura unidimensional, em que se considera a insuficiência de renda dos indivíduos. Destarte, mais recentemente muitos pesquisadores têm abordado a pobreza do ponto de vista multidimensional, considerando outros aspectos além da renda. Nesse sentido, este artigo tem por objetivo investigar a pobreza multidimensional no estado da Bahia no período compreendido entre 2006 e 2013. Para tanto, utilizou-se a recente metodologia proposta por Bourguignon e Chakravarty (2003), considerando a abordagem das necessidades básicas e a teoria das capacitações. Assim, para o cálculo dos indicadores de privação por dimensão, seus gaps e os respectivos índices de pobreza multidimensional, foram utilizados dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostragem de Domiciliar (PNAD). Os resultados apontam uma retração de 4,41% da pobreza multidimensional no estado da Bahia, enquanto nas áreas rural e urbana, a proporção de pobres diminuiu 5,61% e 4,39% respectivamente. Por outro lado, quando se trata dos grupos que compõem a análise, a redução da pobreza para os gêneros masculino e feminino foi relativamente equitativa. Entretanto, pode-se destacar significativa retração do indicador relacionado às crianças em 5,47% no período analisado.

Resumo A consolidação em uma área do conhecimento acontece principalmente quando as informações acerca de um determinado fato ou fenômeno são sistematizadas na forma de uma teoria explicativa, capaz de gerar novas hipóteses testáveis. Na biologia da polinização, o teste de diversas hipóteses ecológicas permitiu ampliar o entendimento sobre os processos que originam, mantêm, alteram ou ainda excluem as interações entre plantas e visitantes florais, gerando os padrões observados na natureza. Visando sintetizar esse panorama teórico e oferecer condições para que novas questões relacionadas ao funcionamento de interações de polinização sejam geradas, compilamos aqui um conjunto de 25 hipóteses, ideias e teorias ecológicas que fornecem aporte conceitual para a área. Essas ideias estão relacionadas a aspectos reprodutivos, morfológicos, cognitivos, macroecológicos e de coexistência, de acordo com a especialização das interações entre as plantas e seus polinizadores. Ao apresentarmos essas ideias principais, esperamos promover a utilização de uma abordagem teórico-conceitual explícita no planejamento e desenvolvimento de estudos em biologia da polinização. Concluímos com a expectativa de que essa contribuição direcione os estudos em biologia da polinização no Brasil e contribua para o avanço e internacionalização das pesquisas desenvolvidas no país.
Heterospecific pollen deposition among plants sharing hummingbird pollinators in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Authors: Fonseca Lorena Coutinho Nery da , Rech André Rodrigo , Bergamo Pedro Joaquim , Gonçalves-Esteves Vania , Sazima Marlies
Published: July 2016

Abstract Hummingbirds are the most important group of pollinating birds in the Neotropics and tend to use, concomitantly, more than one plant species as food source. Pollen may be mixed on hummingbirds' body due to the visits to different plant species; therefore, these birds may promote heterospecific pollen deposition (HPD). The hummingbirds potential to promote HPD, the occurrence of HPD and its implications in plant reproduction are scarcely known in the Atlantic Forest. We have studied the transport of pollen by three hummingbird species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We have also checked the actual HPD occurrence under natural conditions in two plant species, namely Canistropsis seidelii and Psychotria nuda. Moreover, we investigated Nidularium innocentii reproductive system evaluating the effect of HPD on its reproduction by simulating a pollen mixture pollination. We found hummingbirds transporting heterospecific pollen mixtures on their bodies, which in turn were deposited onto stigmas of different species. We have also found that mixed pollen deposition had negative effect on the fitness of N. innocentii. We conclude that hummingbirds carry pollen mixtures at the same body parts, leading to potential HPD at the community level. Moreover, hummingbird-plant communities in the Atlantic Rainforest show remarkable similarities in temporal organization and interaction pattern. This suggests that HPD may be a widespread phenomena in these communities.
Economia de pólen favorecida pela heteranteria em Desmocelis villosa (Melastomataceae)
Authors: Ferreira Queroanne Isabel Xavier , Araújo Francielle Paulina de
Published: July 2016

Resumo A heteranteria sempre despertou interesse quanto à sua funcionalidade. As flores de Desmocelis villosa (Melastomataceae), possuem estames dimorfos, sendo um grupo composto por cinco anteras amarelas e o outro por cinco anteras de cor púrpura. O presente estudo avaliou se a heteranteria promove divisão de trabalho nessa espécie. Foi realizado um experimento com remoção de anteras de cada tipo para se comparar a taxa de visitação por abelhas. Ao vibrar o conjunto de estames, as abelhas coletavam o pólen das anteras amarelas enquanto as de cor púrpura depositavam seu pólen na parte final do corpo das mesmas em uma posição próxima ao estigma favorecendo a polinização. Flores com anteras amarelas apresentaram maiores taxas de visitação que aquelas que tinham apenas anteras púrpuras. Nesta espécie a heteranteria se mostra como uma estratégia eficaz na economia do pólen utilizado com o serviço de polinização, pois embora os dois tipos de anteras apresentem alta porcentagem de grãos viáveis, as anteras amarelas apresentam significativamente menos grãos de pólen que as púrpuras, indicando que a planta estrategicamente reserva a maior parte do pólen para a reprodução sexuada.

Published: July 2016

Resumo Jacquinia armillaris é uma espécie que ocorre no litoral nordeste e sudeste do Brasil em formações sujeitas a intenso processo de fragmentação. Para melhor entendimento da ecologia de J. armillaris em seu habitat natural esse trabalho avaliou a biologia reprodutiva dessa espécie na restinga do Parque Estadual Paulo César Vinha, Espírito Santo, Brasil. Por meio da descrição de eventos relacionados à floração, morfologia das flores, receptividade estigmática, sistema de reprodução, viabilidade polínica e comportamento dos visitantes florais, observou-se que Jacquinia armillaris apresenta características da síndrome de cantarofilia e visitação de dois grupos de Coleoptera: Carpophilus sp. (Nitidulidae) e Horistonotus sp. (Elateridae). Os dados também sugerem que a espécie é autocompatível, porém os testes de cruzamento revelam que a espécie depende da polinização promovida pelos visitantes florais. A espécie não apresentou agamospermia e crescimento clonal, o que somado a uma baixa produção de pólen viável, a síndrome de cantarofilia e outros rigores comuns em ambientes de restinga pode resultar em anos com baixa produção de frutos.

Published: July 2016

Resumo Cipura paludosa está inserida na família Iridaceae a qual se destaca pela grande diversidade de sistemas de polinização, ofertando recursos como néctar, pólen e óleo. Esse estudo foi conduzido em um fragmento de Mata Atlântica em área urbana, em Recife, Pernambuco. O trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a biologia floral e reprodutiva da herbácea C. paludosa. Foi avaliado o período de abertura floral, receptividade estigmática, deiscência das anteras, número de grãos de pólen e óvulos por flor, morfometria floral, experimentos de autopolinização espontânea e de polinização natural, além da observação de visitantes florais. Cipura paludosa é melitófila, autocompatível, oferece pólen e óleo (produzido em elaióforos tricomados) como recursos e recebe visitas de Plebeia sp. e Augochlora thalia. Por formar poucos frutos espontaneamente, C. paludosa se beneficia dos serviços de polinização para o seu sucesso reprodutivo. A ocorrência de abelhas não especialistas na coleta de óleo pode levar a má qualidade nos serviços de polinização, reduzindo a aptidão da espécie.

Published: July 2016

Resumo O conhecimento sobre a ocorrência de espécies ameaçadas de extinção é fundamental para o planejamento da conservação da biodiversidade. Neste estudo, atualizamos as informações referentes a dois dos 11 critérios utilizados para a elaboração da lista de espécies da flora ameaçada de extinção no estado de São Paulo, referentes à: i) ocorrência desconhecida e ii) ocorrência exclusiva da espécie em unidades de conservação (UC). Fizemos o levantamento da ocorrência das espécies de plantas vasculares nas UCs consultando os registros on-line de material depositado em herbário e revimos a necessidade de alteração na categoria de ameaça ou de exclusão de espécies da lista atual. Registramos 4846 espécies em 59 UCs. Nossos resultados apontam a necessidade de exclusão de 148 espécies da lista, das quais 82 não atendem mais ao critério de ocorrência desconhecida e 66 não obedecem mais o critério de ocorrência exclusiva em UCs. Outras 55 espécies deverão sofrer alteração em sua categoria de ameaça e 39 permanecerão inalteradas. Embora cerca de 60% das espécies da flora paulista já estejam em unidades de conservação, é urgente a necessidade de se estabelecer estratégias para proteger os 40% restantes, criando novas UCs de proteção integral ou ampliando as já existentes.
Are the wing's cells alive? Study case in Vriesea trichomes

Published: July 2016

Abstract The presence of peltate foliar trichomes is one of the main anatomical characteristic of Bromeliaceae. These complex structures are adapted to compensate water and nutrient absorption in species that have reduced or substrate and light-reflection independent roots. They have enabled species' survival in diverse and extreme environments contributing to the wide distribution of this family. In the present work, we analyzed the peltate trichomes' characteristics in three taxa of Vriesea (Tillandsioideae): Vriesea platynema var. platynema, V. platynema var. variegata and V. tijucana. Leaves in different developmental stages were analyzed with histochemical tests and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Main results include the presence of cytoplasmic content in the wing peripheral cells, as well as in mature leaves. This is the first register of the presence of such feature in this family, which brings the possibility of discussing how water can be absorbed by these cells.

Published: July 2016

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar se existe associação entre a autoavaliação vocal e a prontidão para mudança em pacientes disfônicos. Método Participaram 151 pacientes com queixa vocal e diagnóstico de disfonia, entre 18 e 65 anos de idade, 47 homens e 104 mulheres, atendidos no ambulatório de voz de uma instituição pública. Foram aplicados quatro instrumentos de autoavaliação, incluindo o Questionário de Qualidade de Vida em Voz (QVV), o Índice de Desvantagem Vocal (IDV) e a Escala de Sintomas Vocais (ESV), além da utilização do instrumento URICA-VOZ, para verificação do estágio de prontidão para mudança dos pacientes. Todos os instrumentos foram aplicados imediatamente antes do início da terapia vocal. As variáveis foram correlacionadas e comparadas por meio de estatística inferencial. Resultados A maioria dos pacientes encontrava-se no estágio de contemplação (76,2%, n = 115), 22 (14,6%), no estágio de pré-contemplação e 14 (9,3%), no estágio de ação. Houve correlação negativa entre o escore no URICA-VOZ e o domínio socioemocional e escore total do QVV. Ocorreu correlação positiva entre o escore do URICA-VOZ e os domínios total, emocional e funcional do IDV, assim como entre o escore do URICA-VOZ e os domínios total, de limitação e emocional da ESV. Apenas os valores do domínio socioemocional do QVV e emocional no ESV apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os estágios motivacionais. Conclusões Existe associação entre a autoavaliação vocal e a prontidão para mudança em pacientes disfônicos. Pacientes com maior impacto na qualidade de vida em voz no QVV e maior frequência de sintomas vocais referida na ESV apresentam maior prontidão para mudança.

RESUMO Objetivo verificar o que docentes de escolas públicas e privadas sabem sobre gagueira, bem como verificar a eficácia do Programa de Formação Docente em Gagueira na ampliação desses conhecimentos. Métodos participaram do estudo 137 docentes da educação infantil. Inicialmente os docentes responderam a um questionário sobre gagueira. Em seguida, 75 docentes participaram do Programa de Formação Docente em Gagueira com duração de quatro horas. Um mês após participação no programa, os docentes responderam novamente ao questionário. Resultados depois da formação, notou-se um aumento no percentual daqueles que consideram baixa a prevalência de pessoas que gaguejam na população. Os entrevistados passaram a relatar que a gagueira é mais frequente no gênero masculino. Houve aumento daqueles que consideram a gagueira hereditária. Diminuiu a incidência de educadores que acreditavam que a gagueira é psicológica. A maioria dos entrevistados passou a acreditar na multicausalidade da gagueira. Diminuiu o índice de educadores que afirmavam que a gagueira é emocional. Houve melhor entendimento de algumas atitudes que os educadores podem ter na tentativa de ajudar uma pessoa que gagueja. Conclusão os educadores possuíam algum conhecimento sobre gagueira, mas insuficiente para diferenciá-la dos demais distúrbios de linguagem. O programa ampliou os conhecimentos em relação à gagueira. Entretanto, mostrou-se mais efetivo para as características da gagueira do que para as atitudes dos educadores.

In the 30 years of the AIDS pandemic in Brazil, it is recognized the HIV virus internalization of the phenomenon as a challenge to care and current health policies. In this sense, it aimed to verify sex practices and social representations that rural towns residents have about the disease. Attended by 789 people, men and women, between 18 and 90 years old, residents in 41 towns with fewer than 11,000 inhabitants in the state of Paraiba / Brazil. Data were collected by a questionnaire and the free association of words test. The results showed low concern about disease, perception of invulnerability to HIV infection and not using condoms during sexual intercourse, and confidence in the major reason related partner. Also showed endure derogatory and stereotypical representations, revealing that still persist in rural areas, beliefs and representations concerning the beginning of the epidemic. From these findings, it is possible to point out deficiencies in the care provided by the health services in these localities, which may result in increased vulnerability of this population to diseases, so there is the need to intensify information campaigns and intervention. The results reveal the existence of three different types of modes of learning health literacy skills in informal context: : i) learning that takes place in action, in achieving daily tasks; ii) learning processes that result from problem solving; iii) learning that occurs in an unplanned manner, resulting from accidental circumstances and, in some cases, devoid of intentionality.

The user in psychological distress needs a service that provides a targeted assistance, that welcomes when required, acting as originator care device to the user on the network of health care. This study aimed to describe how people in psychological distress are perceived by the community in the voice of the community health worker. It is a qualitative research conducted with eighteen Community Health Agents, a Primary Care Unit Health (UAP) located in BE IV, in Fortaleza, Ceará. We used a semi-structured and individual interview. Data processing was due to the content analysis. Ethical and legal aspects on the advice No. 957,595. Through the speeches of ACS, it describes how the community perceives the person in psychic suffering and how it positions itself in the face of your everyday problems, as regards the rejection, prejudice, discrimination ne loss of identity. However it is emphasized that, because of being inserted in the community, the community health worker realizes more accurate way in which this social group is the person in mental distress. The rejection of the person who became ill is seen as a fairly common reaction, accompanied by prejudice and discrimination, marginalizing her from society.

ABSTRACT In this study, we evaluated the psychometric properties of the items to measure the work-family conflict and the time use for personal care and leisure, included in the baseline questionnaire of the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brazil). We evaluated temporal stability (7-14 days) using kappa statistic and the validity of the construct by the correlation of Kendall’s tau with other variables. Test-retest stability was discreet to moderate and the correlations were compatible with the underlying theory. Future studies in the context of ELSA-Brazil and in other populations will complement the assessment of its relevance.
Ecomorphology of crabs and swimming crabs (Crustacea DecapodaBrachyura) from coastal ecosystems
Authors: Marochi Murilo Zanetti , Masunari Setuko
Published: July 2016

Abstract Brachyuran crabs are one of the most diverse taxa of crustaceans, occurring in almost all coastal habitats. Due to their high morphological diversification, the authors sought to ascertain the existence of morphological patterns related to the habitat of coastal brachyuran crabs. We analyzed 17 species from mangrove forests, rocky shores, sandy beaches and exclusively aquatic marine/estuarine ecosystems. A total of 16 linear measurements of males and 17 of females were obtained for each habitat. We were able to discriminate three functional groups of crab species, based on their habitat: 1. Complex Substrates, 2. Semiterrestrial, 3. Exclusively Aquatic. The species belonging to the Complex Substrates group had long ambulatory legs, as well as being heteroquely related to uneven terrain. Semiterrestrial species showed ambulatory legs of different sizes, allowing them to walk easily on the terrestrial terrain due to the long fourth ambulatory leg, and long eyestalks which are important for visual communication. Exclusively Aquatic species showed the largest carapace widths and the shortest eyestalks. The presence of different crab lineages in the environments analyzed allows us to demonstrate the clear evolutionary convergence, by which the crabs adapted to their specific habitat and environment.

Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of the forest in an urbanised mangrove using vegetation structure and abiotic conditions to distinguish habitat heterogeneity/quality. A total of 16 points in Vitória Bay were selected in the fringe and basin forests. The variables evaluated were height and diameter of the individual trees, basal area, density, dominance, interstitial water, litter mass, grain size, organic matter and anthropogenic influences. The results indicated that the mangrove area, due to suffering intensely from various anthropogenic effects, forests with varying degrees of maturity. Areas more distant from direct human effects had a higher degree of development and environmental quality relative to points closer to urban pressures. Intermediate development levels were also observed, which indicated pulses of environmental change. Human interventions caused alterations in the development of the forest which increased the mortality rate and reduced the diameter and height of the trees. The environmental variables of salinity, organic matter, litter mass, grain size and anthropogenic stressors contributed to the structural patterns. Our data suggest that an analysis of the vegetation structure and the abiotic factors are useful indicators to evaluate habitat quality, thus providing a basis for future management.

ABSTRACT In this study, we analyzed the composition, distribution and abundance of Pleuronectiform larvae in relation to abiotic factors (temperature and salinity) and biotic factors (phytoplanktonic and zooplanktonic biomass) in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean. The working hypothesis was that the composition and distribution pattern of Pleuronectiform larvae species present differences between the areas studied according to the hydrographical environment/factors analyzed. Ichthyoplankton was collected during Period: 1 (August - October 1995), 2 (January - April 1997), 3 (April - July 1998) and 4 (September - December 2000), in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean. We examined 562 Bongo-net (500 μm) samples that contained 719 Pleuronectiform larvae belonging to three families: Bothidae (Bothus ocellatus and Engyophrys senta), Paralichthyidae (Syacium papillosum, Citharichthys spilopterus and Citharichthys sp.) and Cynoglossidae (Symphurus sp.). The Pleuronectiform larvae accounted for 4% of total fish larvae and occurred at 37% of the oceanographic stations. B. ocellatus was the species with the highest relative abundance (70%), the greatest value occurring during Period 3 (77%), whereas the lowest relative abundance (57%) was recorded in Period 1. S. papillosum was the species presenting the second highest relative abundance (14%), with higher values during periods 1 and 4. The results demonstrated that environmental factors influence the distribution and abundance of Pleuronectiform larvae so that each species occurs in a more favourable period and place for spawning and growth. B. ocellatus was related to warmer waters and greater phytoplanktonic and zooplanktonic biomass, while S. papillosum occurred in saltier waters and at lower temperatures.

ABSTRACT Objective: Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a clinical entity that has been classified as constrictive, fixed obstruction of the lumen by fibrotic tissue. However, recent studies using impulse oscillometry have reported bronchodilator responses in PIBO patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate bronchodilator responses in pediatric PIBO patients, comparing different criteria to define the response. Methods: We evaluated pediatric patients diagnosed with PIBO and treated at one of two pediatric pulmonology outpatient clinics in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Spirometric parameters were measured in accordance with international recommendations. Results: We included a total of 72 pediatric PIBO patients. The mean pre- and post-bronchodilator values were clearly lower than the reference values for all parameters, especially FEF25-75%. There were post-bronchodilator improvements. When measured as mean percent increases, FEV1 and FEF25-75%, improved by 11% and 20%, respectively. However, when the absolute values were calculated, the mean FEV1 and FEF25-75% both increased by only 0.1 L. We found that age at viral aggression, a family history of asthma, and allergy had no significant effects on bronchodilator responses. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with PIBO have peripheral airway obstruction that is responsive to treatment but is not completely reversible with a bronchodilator. The concept of PIBO as fixed, irreversible obstruction does not seem to apply to this population. Our data suggest that airway obstruction is variable in PIBO patients, a finding that could have major clinical implications.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess and compare the prevalence of comorbidities and risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in COPD patients according to disease severity. Methods: The study included 25 patients with mild-to-moderate COPD (68% male; mean age, 65 ± 8 years; mean FEV1, 73 ± 15% of predicted) and 25 with severe-to-very severe COPD (males, 56%; mean age, 69 ± 9 years; mean FEV1, 40 ± 18% of predicted). Comorbidities were recorded on the basis of data obtained from medical charts and clinical evaluations. Comorbidities were registered on the basis of data obtained from medical charts and clinical evaluations. The Charlson comorbidity index was calculated, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score was determined. Results: Of the 50 patients evaluated, 38 (76%) had been diagnosed with at least one comorbidity, 21 (42%) having been diagnosed with at least one CVD. Twenty-four patients (48%) had more than one CVD. Eighteen (36%) of the patients were current smokers, 10 (20%) had depression, 7 (14%) had dyslipidemia, and 7 (14%) had diabetes mellitus. Current smoking, depression, and dyslipidemia were more prevalent among the patients with mild-to-moderate COPD than among those with severe-to-very severe COPD (p < 0.001, p = 0.008, and p = 0.02, respectively). The prevalence of high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, ischemic heart disease, and chronic heart failure was comparable between the two groups. The Charlson comorbidity index and HADS scores did not differ between the groups. Conclusions: Comorbidities are highly prevalent in COPD, regardless of its severity. Certain risk factors for CVD, themselves classified as diseases (including smoking, dyslipidemia, and depression), appear to be more prevalent in patients with mild-to-moderate COPD.
Etiology of primary spontaneous pneumothorax
Authors: Lyra Roberto de Menezes
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT With the advent of HRCT, primary spontaneous pneumothorax has come to be better understood and managed, because its etiology can now be identified in most cases. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax is mainly caused by the rupture of a small subpleural emphysematous vesicle (designated a bleb) or of a subpleural paraseptal emphysematous lesion (designated a bulla). The aim of this pictorial essay was to improve the understanding of primary spontaneous pneumothorax and to propose a description of the major anatomical lesions found during surgery.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the factors associated with postoperative infections in spinal surgery. Methods: Descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted in the spine surgery department of the Medical Unit of High Specialty (UMAE) at the Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopedics Lomas Verdes, Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) between January 01, 2013 and June 30, 2014 through medical records of the service and the records of clinical care. Data were gathered in accordance with the records of patients with infection after spinal surgery. The factors considered were age group, etiologic agent, surgical site, type of treatment, bleeding volume and pharmacotherapy. Frequency and descriptive statistic was conducted. The rank sum test with the Wilcoxon test for a single sample was performed in different measurements; Pearson's correlation was calculated and all p<0.05 values were considered significant. Results: The sample was composed of 14 patients of which 11 were female (78.6%) and 3 male (21.4%) with predominance of surgical area in the lumbar and dorsolumbar region. There was a significant correlation between the surgical time and the amount of bleeding with p<0.001. Conclusions: It was clear that the infections present in patients after spinal surgery are multifactorial. However, in this study the correlation between time of surgery and bleeding amount had the highest importance and relevance.

ABSTRACT The high-energy trauma mainly involves vertebral lesions and 6% occur in the cervical region. This poses a challenge to spine surgeons in surgical decision-making, both in terms of approach as the instrumentation. International recommendations establish that the procedures performed are reproducible, safe, and effective. The techniques for placement of pedicle screws are complicated and have been based on intraoperative navigation (limited by cost) and fluoroscopy (greater exposure of health care professionals and patients to radiation). Therefore, the freehand technique is an option. The goal was to identify the level of evidence and grade of recommendation in the medical literature regarding the safety and efficacy of pedicle screw instrumentation with freehand technique in subaxial cervical spine. To this end, we carried out a systematic review with the following MeSH terms: safety, efficacy, vertebral artery. Articles were evaluated twice in a standardized and blind way by two observers skilled in systematic analysis, after CLEIS 3401 authorization in November 2014. Due to the nature of the study and the variables, articles with a high level of evidence and grade of recommendation were not found. Level of Evidence obtained on safety and efficacy in the placement of pedicle screws in subaxial column with freehand technique: 2b. Degree of Recommendation obtained on safety and efficacy in the placement of pedicle screws in subaxial column with freehand technique: B, favorable recommendation.
