Analysis of Plastic Ingestion by Juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) Stranded from Tenerife, Canary Islands
Authors: Tortosa Marina , Bellido Juan Jesús , Báez José Carlos
Published: August 2024

The exponential rise in plastic debris in oceans poses a severe threat to marine biodiversity, including loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) due to their widespread distribution and feeding habits. The present study aimed to assess plastic ingestion in juvenile loggerhead sea turtles stranded in Tenerife, Canary Islands. Among the 312 turtles admitted to the Wildlife Recovery Center “La Tahonilla” from July 2018 to November 2020, bycatch (20.8%) and entanglement (15.4%) were the primary admission causes, with significantly higher strandings in the island’s western region. Of these, 37 turtles (11.9%) had ingested plastic debris, totaling 546 pieces (average 14.59 ± 26.57 per turtle). Predominantly, filaments (44%), sheets (34%), and fragments (23%) were identified, with most being macroplastics (67%) in white or transparent colors. These findings, consistent with similar studies, underscore loggerhead sea turtles’ role as bioindicators of sea water pollution. They also highlight the urgent need for sustainable practices to mitigate plastic pollution in marine environments, preserve marine biodiversity, and achieve global sustainability goals.
Weaving a Sustainable Future for Fashion: The Role of Social Enterprises in East London
Authors: Ashiq Rubab
Published: August 2024

This study investigates how social enterprises in East London drive sustainability in the fashion industry, focusing on the following two case studies: Making for Change and Stitches in Time. The research uses the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework and social capital theory to assess how these enterprises integrate TBL principles and leverage social capital to promote sustainable practices. The qualitative exploratory study generates hypotheses proposing that East London-based social enterprises employ diverse TBL strategies to advance sustainability (H1) and utilise social capital through networks and community ties to support their initiatives (H2). Data collected through interviews and focus groups confirm that these enterprises effectively address social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainability. However, balancing these dimensions, especially economic sustainability, remains challenging and often varies depending on organisational objectives. The study also emphasises social capital’s key role in enhancing internal cohesion and facilitating external collaborations. The research deepens our understanding of how social enterprises can drive sustainable development by providing evidence-based insights within an underrepresented context of the UK. Using social enterprises as exemplars, these insights could potentially guide the transition of the UK fashion industry towards more sustainable practices.
Influence of Regional Air Pollution Pressure on the Green Transformation of Higher Education: An Empirical Study Based on PM2.5 in Chinese Cities
Authors: Ying Rui , Wang Xiuli
Published: August 2024

Against the backdrop of the pressing challenge of global climate change and the framework of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this study focuses on examining how regional air pollution pressures drive the transition towards green practices within higher education institutions (HEIs). This research begins with the painstaking manual collection and organization of green transformation data from 113 Chinese HEIs spanning the years 2017 to 2022. We construct a comprehensive green transformation index for higher education, including four dimensions: Education and Research, Operational Management Efficiency, Green Campus Construction, and Social Participation, along with 14 foundational indicators. Empirical analysis demonstrates a significant positive correlation between air pollution pressures and the green transformation of HEIs, confirming the facilitative role of government policy support and public environmental awareness in this transformative process. This study further uncovers that the timeliness and continuity of policies are crucial for HEIs in responding to environmental pressures and accelerating their green transition. Moreover, it highlights the impact of regional characteristics, revealing that HEIs in economically more advanced regions exhibit a stronger response to air pollution pressures compared with those in less developed areas. This research not only enhances understanding of the interplay among environmental policies, public engagement, and behavioral changes in HEIs but also furnishes policymakers, HEI administrators, and environmental advocates with robust empirical evidence. It underscores the urgency for multi-stakeholder collaboration, policy incentives, and the consideration of regional specifics, thereby providing strategic guidance for facilitating green transformations in HEIs and advancing the attainment of global sustainability objectives.
The Properties of Structures with Two Planes of Symmetry
Authors: Vlase Sorin , Itu Calin
Published: August 2024

In the domain of civil engineering, the structures encountered usually present symmetries of different types. The causes that determine the use of these symmetries are diverse, starting from esthetic motivations but also dictated by practical reasons, such as the reduction in construction time and costs. These geometric symmetries lead to specific properties that, in certain situations, can help to simplify the calculation of these structures. They can be identified both in the static analysis and the deformability of the structure, as well as in the dynamic analysis in the study of vibrations. If these properties are used, it is possible to reduce the analysis time, and the designer can obtain a quick estimate of the behavior of the structure. Starting from these considerations, this work will determine some of the properties specific to the natural vibrations of certain structures with identical parts in their components (structures that present two planes of symmetry) and will demonstrate how these properties can contribute to reducing the time required for dynamic analysis. An example will be used to exemplify the presented methods. This work allows for further developments and makes possible the development of the existing finite element software by adding some modules to identify such situations by analyzing the input data and using the properties described in the newly introduced algorithms.
Quantum Stability of Hamiltonian Evolution on a Finsler Manifold
Authors: Elgressy Gil , Horwitz Lawrence
Published: August 2024

This paper is a study of a generalization of the quantum Riemannian Hamiltonian evolution, previously analyzed by us, in the geometrization of quantum mechanical evolution in a Finsler geometry. We find results with dynamical equations governing the evolution of the trajectories defined by the expectation values of the position. The analysis appears to provide an underlying geometry described by a geodesic equation, with a connection form with a second term which is an essentially quantum effect. These dynamical equations provide a new geometric approach to the quantum evolution where we suggest a definition for “local instability” in the quantum theory.
Vulnerated Urban Areas under Regeneration: Strategies to Prevent Neighborhood Expulsion in Barcelona or How to Improve without Expelling?
Authors: Piasek Gonzalo , Garcia-Almirall Pilar
Published: August 2024

This article explores the negative effects of gentrification, especially in vulnerable areas of contemporary cities, by focusing on five case studies of the city of Barcelona. This relevant question is addressed here following a double strategy (quantitative and qualitative). In an attempt to engage on a debate around the scope and limitations of current urban regeneration interventions, the phenomenon of gentrification is quantified throughout time drawing from official statistics. At the same time, the voices of local entities’ representatives are included to introduce a level of representation on the phenomenon. The results suggest that, even though urban regeneration strategies are absolutely necessary, especially in the more vulnerated areas, it is necessary to include more comprehensive approaches and tools that take into consideration not only the physical and urban effects of rehabilitation, but also the economic and social aspects. Thus, it may be necessary to engage in a more consequential discussion not only on how vulnerability and regeneration are theorized, measured and dealt with, but also on some less studied dimensions of the socio-urban phenomenon, such as the social capital and the social infrastructure of neighborhoods.
TRIM Proteins and Antiviral Microtubule Reorganization: A Novel Component in Innate Immune Responses?
Authors: Vadon Charlotte , Magiera Maria Magda , Cimarelli Andrea
Published: August 2024

TRIM proteins are a family of innate immune factors that play diverse roles in innate immunity and protect the cell against viral and bacterial aggression. As part of this special issue on TRIM proteins, we will take advantage of our findings on TRIM69, which acts by reorganizing the microtubules (MTs) in a manner that is fundamentally antiviral, to more generally discuss how host–pathogen interactions that take place for the control of the MT network represent a crucial facet of the struggle that opposes viruses to their cell environment. In this context, we will present several other TRIM proteins that are known to interact with microtubules in situations other than viral infection, and we will discuss evidence that may suggest a possible contribution to viral control. Overall, the present review will highlight the importance that the control of the microtubule network bears in host–pathogen interactions.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), also known as the Dabie Banda virus, is an emerging tick-borne Bunyavirus that causes severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). Currently, symptomatic treatment and antiviral therapy with ribavirin and favipiravir are used in clinical management. However, their therapeutical efficacy is hardly satisfactory in patients with high viral load. In this study, we explored the antiviral effects of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) on SFTSV infection and the antiviral mechanisms of a representative SERM, bazedoxifene acetate (BZA). Our data show that SERMs potently inhibited SFTSV-induced cytopathic effect (CPE), the proliferation of infectious viral particles, and viral RNA replication and that BZA effectively protected mice from lethal viral challenge. The mode of action analysis reveals that BZA exerts antiviral effects during the post-entry stage of SFTSV infection. The transcriptome analysis reveals that GRASLND and CYP1A1 were upregulated, while TMEM45B and TXNIP were downregulated. Our findings suggest that SERMs have the potential to be used in the treatment of SFTSV infection.
A Ground-Penetrating Radar-Based Study of the Structure and Moisture Content of Complex Reconfigured Soils
Authors: He Yunlan , Fang Lulu , Peng Suping , Liu Wen , Cui Changhao
Published: August 2024

To increase the detection accuracy of soil structure and moisture content in reconstituted soils under complex conditions, this study utilizes a 400 MHz ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to examine a study area consisting of loess, sandy loam, red clay, and mixed soil. The research involves analyzing the single-channel waveforms and two-dimensional images of GPR, preprocessing the data, obtaining envelope information via amplitude envelope detection, and performing a Hilbert transformation. This study employs a least squares fitting approach to the instantaneous phase envelope to ascertain the thickness of various soil layers. By utilizing the average envelope amplitude (AEA) method, a correlation between the radar’s early signal amplitude envelope and the soil’s shallow dielectric constant is established to invert the moisture content of the soil. The analysis integrates soil structure and moisture distribution data to investigate soil structure characteristics and moisture content performance under diverse soil properties and depths. The findings indicate that the envelope detection method effectively identifies stratification boundaries across different soil types; the AEA method is particularly efficacious in inverting the moisture content of reconstituted soils up to 3 m deep, with an average relative error ranging from 2.81% to 7.41%. Notably, moisture content variations in stratified reconstituted soils are more pronounced than those in mixed soil areas, displaying a marked stepwise increase with depth. The moisture content trends in the vertical direction of the same soil profile are generally consistent. This research offers a novel approach to studying reconstituted soils under complex conditions, confirming the viability of the envelope detection and AEA methods for intricate soil investigations and broadening the application spectrum of GPR in soil studies.
Trait Composition and Assemblage Structure Analyses of Lacustrine Fishes: Synthesizing a Proposal for Better Fishing Practices
Authors: Díaz Gustavo , Habit Evelyn , Urrutia Roberto , Manosalva Aliro , Barra Ricardo O. , Figueroa Ricardo
Published: August 2024

Fish provide ecosystem services and contribute to human well-being through fishing. In Chile, subsistence fishing provides food to local communities, whereas recreational fishing contributes to economic income via tourism. In the Lanalhue coastal lake basin, unregulated subsistence fishing and formal recreational fishing primarily target large fish species to ensure satisfactory catches and food provision. However, the development of unplanned fishing activities and lack of scientific knowledge can lead to socioecological conflicts and tension between users. To address this issue, this study focuses on improving fishing practices through the analysis of fish assemblages of the Lanalhue lake basin. The life cycle traits of each fish species were analyzed, as well as their abundance and biomass in each habitat. Twelve fish species were identified, and their distribution and abundance explain the differences in fish assemblage composition and structure among habitats. To promote better fishing practices, we propose four target species and specific management actions. These include defining fishing seasons, delineating fishing sites, and establishing fishing quotas. This approach, considering both community structure and functional aspects of fish assemblages, can serve as a valuable guide for developing sustainable fishing practices in the Lanalhue coastal lake basin.
Water Level Predictions at Both Entrances of a Sea Strait by Using Machine Learning
Authors: Altaş Furkan , Öztürk Mehmet
Published: August 2024

In this study, we employed a novel machine learning (ML) methodology to predict water levels (WLs) from their constituent components at both entrances of a sea strait, namely the Bosphorus. The principal components of WLs in the strait are mean sea level pressure (MSLP), wind speeds (W, U, V), discharges from the Danube River (Q), and tidal conditions (T). Following the application of the t-test, SFS, PCA, and VIF analyses, and the consideration of a range of ML techniques (including Linear Regression (LR), Regression Trees (RT), Support Vector Machine Regression (SVMR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)), the number of predictors was reduced in order to obtain the most flexible and accurate regression model. As a consequence of this process, MSLP, W, and Q were retained, while the remaining variables (tide) were excluded. Furthermore, the order of importance for the optimal regression model was identified as Q_lagged, MSLP, V_lagged, and U at the north entrance model, while at the south entrance model, the order was MSLP, Q_lagged, U, and V. The models were trained using 80%, 50%, and 33% of the data, respectively. The model trained on 80% of the data yielded the most accurate predictions, with a correlation coefficient of R ≅ 0.95 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.02 m. The model demonstrated a markedly superior predictive capacity compared to previous studies in the region, which is attributed to two factors that are regarded as the novelty of the study. The first factor was the random selection of training data from each month of the year, which allowed for the representation of the general pattern of water level (WL) behaviours. The second factor was the selection of the physically most meaningful inputs, which were selected according to the results of the significance and multicollinearity check. Furthermore, the predicted and measured WLs were employed as boundary conditions in a hydrodynamic model to evaluate the predictive capacity of the predicted WLs on the current results in the strait in comparison to the use of observed WLs. The 80% data-trained model exhibited similar current velocities to the observed WL model used, whereas the 50% and 30% data-trained models yielded slightly different results.

Published: August 2024

Iron (Fe) is a crucial trace element in marine ecosystems, playing a vital role in regulating marine primary productivity and driving marine biogeochemical cycling processes. However, understanding seasonal iron variations and the response of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) to coastal waters remains limited. The aim of this study was to find out about the spatial and seasonal variations in iron concentrations and their impact on chlorophyll-a levels in Zhanjiang Bay. We conducted seasonal monitoring of surface seawater for iron in 2019, alongside assessments of terrestrial iron inputs during three precipitation seasons. The monitoring results showed that the iron content in Zhanjiang Bay ranged from 0.83 to 339.2 μg·L−1 with an average of 54.34 ± 75.91 μg·L−1. The annual average iron content in the central bay is higher than that in the bay mouth and inner bay. The iron content in autumn is much higher than that in other seasons, which may be due to the influence of river dredging. Correlation analysis revealed that temperature and pH are the main factors affecting the iron content in Zhanjiang Bay and the spatial distribution of iron is influenced by rainfall, river inputs, and human activities, particularly channel dredging. Iron content and chlorophyll-a were negatively correlated between different seasons, which was more significant with the increase in iron content. This may mean that the increase in iron concentration may inhibit the synthesis of chlorophyll-a, thus affecting primary productivity. We need to carry out more research experiments to verify this hypothesis. This study reveals the spatial and temporal changes in iron in urban coastal waters and its relationship with environmental factors, which is of great significance for understanding the marine biogeochemical cycle of iron in coastal eutrophic waters and specifying effective environmental management strategies.
Research on Horizontal Well Multi-Fracture Propagation Law under the Synergistic Effect of Complex Natural Fracture and Reservoir Heterogeneity
Authors: Zhao Huan , Li Wei , He Tiansu , Wang Jianbo , Zhang Mingxiu , Wang Siqi , Chen Fulu
Published: August 2024

Conventional fracturing design generally only considers the propagation of a single fracture in homogeneous storage, but the heterogeneity characteristics of the reservoir and the development of complex natural fractures will affect the fracturing effect. In order to study the horizontal well fracture propagation law under the synergistic effect of complex natural fracture reservoir heterogeneity, the globally embedded cohesive element finite model is established, and the heterogeneous reservoirs are built by Python programming. The influencing factors of multi-fracture propagation with heterogeneous reservoirs are analyzed, including the in situ stress difference, the injection rate of fracturing fluid, the perforation spacing, and the perforating clusters number. The results show that the heterogeneity and the natural fracture of the reservoir will affect the in situ stress distribution and propagation direction. When the in situ stress difference is low, the reservoir heterogeneity and natural fractures have a great influence on the fracture morphology. With the increase in injection rate, the fracture length and fracture width increase. With the in situ stress difference increase, the fracture deflection angle decreases. With the increase in fracturing fluid injection rate, the fracture length increases. The number of hydraulic fractures communicating with natural fractures increases with the natural fracture number and the number of perforation clusters under the synergistic effect of complex natural fracture and reservoir heterogeneity.
On the Role of Freshwater Budgets in the Formation of Salinity Extremes in the Ocean Interior
Authors: Sosnin Valery , Dolgikh Grigory
Published: August 2024

We propose interpreting the vertical structure of waters not only in space but also over time, taking into account the continuous variability of the ocean and the independence of temperature and salinity parameters. This approach allows us to consider, in real conditions, the entire spectrum of short- and long-term extrema of both characteristics, either separately or together at the same depth. Vertical distributions of temperature and salinity transform separately and independently of each other under the influence of heat and freshwater budgets, which change at different time scales. Each of the parameters has its own active layers with corresponding time scales. Changes in the signs of heat and freshwater budgets and subsequent changes in the characteristics of the surface layer cause the appearance and disappearance of separate extrema of temperature and salinity in the water column. Using a salinity field as an example, we have shown that each of the extrema, in their vertical distribution from the near-surface to the intermediate depths, is a temporary phenomenon with various lifetime scales and is located at the lower boundary of the corresponding active layers. In some areas of the ocean, temperature and salinity extrema exist together at the same depth. Volumes of water with such characteristics and explicit boundaries should be considered water masses.

Hemihydranencephaly is extremely rare in cats. In this case report, the aim is to share data on the diagnosis and treatment of a hemihydranencephaly in a cat. This case report is for an 1 year old, 3 kg, male, Scottish fold cat. The cat was brought in by its owner with behavioural changes and decreased activity since birth. Cranial nerve examination revealed that threat reflex and lateral palpebral reflex were decreased and corneal reflex was delayed. Spinal reflex examination revealed a decreased patellar reflex and proprioceptive deficit in all extremities in the postural reaction test. As a result of the tests, a cranial lesion was suspected. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the right cerebral hemisphere and ependyma were absent and instead were filled with fluid. In light of the findings, the patient was diagnosed with a hemihydranencephaly. Furosemide, and prednisone were used for medical treatment. However, despite a week of medical treatment, no improvement was observed. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement was preferred as the surgical method. Although all of the patient's neurological findings did not disappear in the postoperative period, they improved. A cat with haemihydraocephaly was successfully treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt for the first time.

The Andean papaya (Carica pubescens) is an underexplored fruit with significant agro-industrial potential due to its unique characteristics and non-seasonal production. This study aimed to characterize Andean papaya produced by the “Asociación de Productores de Papaya Andina Orgánica de la Provincia de Sandia” (ASPPAO) in Peru. Random samples were analyzed one-day post-harvest to assess weight distribution, physicochemical properties, and color. Results indicated an average fruit weight of 192.26 ± 19.86 g, with a distribution of 56.62% mesocarp, 26.73% endocarp (including 5.61% seeds and 21.12% mucilage), and 16.65% peel. The endocarp, which is the most used part for processing, had a favorable proportion and high value compared to other fruits. The fruit had an average width of 93.18 ± 9.36 mm, height of 69.61 ± 9.55 mm, and volume of 220.50 ± 35.39 cm³, showing variation due to size differences between fruits. Each fruit contained an average of 150.10 ± 19.93 seeds, with a texture of 9.52 ± 2.28 kg/cm², a mesocarp thickness of 11.57 ± 1.30 mm, and a pH of 4.75 ± 0.71. The color analysis revealed that the peel was yellow, the pulp slightly yellow, the mucilage values close to white, and the seeds light brown. The fruit had a low total solids content and titratable acidity expressed in vitamin C with a maturity index of 14.37 ± 3.29. Additionally, chemical differences were observed between the pulp and mucilage, with the latter having higher values of total solids and titratable acidity and slightly more acidic pH values. Further studies are necessary to investigate the chemical content of this product and its potential health effects.

This study investigates the importance of developing social responsibility in youth within the context of socio-cultural education, a pedagogical approach fostering social values and civic engagement. We analyze this issue from philosophical, pedagogical, and psychological perspectives, emphasizing the need for young people to develop qualities like empathy, adherence to social norms, and responsible decision-making.

A comprehensive review of literature from the 20th and 21st centuries reveals the complexity and relevance of "social responsibility" and its formation. We conducted a psychological and pedagogical experiment involving schoolchildren, students, and teachers to assess levels of social responsibility. The results demonstrate positive shifts in social responsibility levels following the implementation of a socio-cultural education program, with significant increases in participants exhibiting high and average levels of social responsibility. Qualitative data from participant statements further support the effectiveness of the program in fostering a stronger sense of social responsibility among youth. This study contributes to the field by offering empirical evidence for the effectiveness of socio-cultural education in promoting socially responsible behavior in young people.

The issue of providing access to justice for every person is now topical worldwide. The problem of protecting the interests of crime victims needs improvement. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to clarify the issue of compliance of the legislation of European countries, including Ukraine, with international standards in the field of protection of victims' rights. Based on the analysis results, recommendations were proposed to improve regulatory provisions to bring them into line with international legal acts.
An analysis of the court verdicts passed based on the results of criminal case consideration was carried out. The need to ensure professional representation of the victim's rights has been established. The need for mandatory representation of the elderly, people with disabilities, and representatives of other social categories is emphasized.
Analyzing the legislation of countries such as Czechia, Bulgaria, and Georgia determined the peculiarities of victim representation in criminal proceedings. The fundamental principles to which the legal system of any legal and social state must comply have been determined based on international legal treaties. Considering the received conclusions, recommendations for improving Ukraine's legislation were formulated.

This study investigates the necessity for Turkish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop green competitive advantages and the challenges they face in this process. It examines how SMEs adopt and implement green competition strategies in light of proactive and reactive environmental strategies. The research was conducted using a case study approach, with data collected through interviews and observations with six SMEs from various sectors in Türkiye. The findings reveal that while most SMEs are willing to adopt green competition strategies, they face difficulties such as lack of financial and technical resources, integrating green strategies into their core business, and complying with local and global legislation. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, academics, and practitioners interested in promoting sustainable practices among SMEs.
Governmental search for conceptual approaches to municipal self-government reform in the mid-19th century (Development of the "main grounds of rules" for public municipal administration of capital cities and Odesa)
Authors: Kyrychenko Volodymyr , Butyrin Yevhen
Published: August 2024

This study is dedicated to exploring the practice of building a local self-government system in the Russian Empire, which differed from the European experience. This system was created exclusively through the government's initiatives and efforts, with minimal public intervention. The combination of methodological approaches to solving the set tasks relied precisely on the historical dimension. Combined with a functional approach, it allowed for reconstructing a systematic picture of the researched subject. This way, government measures were analysed to develop the "main grounds of rules" for public urban administration of capital cities and Odesa. Special attention was paid to the differences in the Regulation on the Public Order of the City of Odesa regarding implementing the principle of all-class inclusiveness and independence in public administration. Given the urgency of the problem of self-government for society, it was highly politicised, especially by Soviet historiography, and was far from impartial research. Therefore, the authors aimed to provide an unbiased view of the legislative process. Prospects for further research lie in seeking ways to return the self-governing traits genetically inherent to Ukrainians and to build Ukrainian statehood based on the dominance of local self-government in the political-organisational and institutional-functional aspects.

Foram avaliadas as variáveis cadência, tempo de balanço, tempo de duplo apoio, tempo de passada e velocidade. Resultados: Posteriormente a aplicação da intervenção foi observado um efeito significativo da interação entre tempo x grupo na variável cadência (p=0,00) e uma melhora para o efeito do tempo com valor significativo para a cadência (p=0,02) e velocidade (p< 0,0005) no grupo TM. Conclusão: Os resultados do presente estudo mostram que o TM parece ser uma escolha de intervenção mais eficiente que o MP no que se refere à melhora na velocidade da marcha em situação de bloqueio da visão dos pés, com consequente impacto sobre equilíbrio e risco de quedas.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo verificar a eficiência da terapia hiperbárica em pacientes que passaram pela abnominoplastia. A Oxigenoterapia Hiperbárica (OHB) consiste em um método terapêutico no qual o paciente é submetido a uma pressão maior que a atmosférica, no interior de uma câmara hiperbárica, respirando oxigênio a 100%. Vale salientar que a efetividade de uma cirurgia plástica, como a abdnominoplastia não depende unicamente da sua organização cirúrgica, mas os cuidados pós-operatório tem evidenciado fator preventivo de prováveis complicações e promoção de um resultado estético mais satisfatório. Nesse contexto, com a crescente demanda por abdominoplastias, há uma necessidade premente de realizações de terapias eficazes para promover a reabilitação adequada desses pacientes. Em relação aos aspectos metodológicos trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica nas bases de dados Pubmed e Cochrane Library Google Acadêmico, SCIELO, (Scientific Eletronic Library Online) e BIREME. Este estudo contribui para a elaboração de estratégias e melhor uso da terapia hiperbárica para o tratamento de pacientes que passaram por abnominoplastia, que possam efetivamente auxiliar em melhorias na saúde. Dessa forma, oferece possibilidades de subsidiar ações de enfrentamento do pós-operatório da abnominoplastia ao incorporar tratamentos que tenham resultados efetivos na estética.

Introdução: As malformações arteriovenosas (MAVs) decorrem de uma comunicação anormal entre artérias e veias. Nas MAVs intracranianas, uma das queixas dos pacientes pode ser o zumbido pulsátil, devido ao turbilhonamento do sangue dentro dos vasos. Relato de caso: Paciente, 65 anos, sexo feminino, apresentava zumbido pulsátil unilateral à esquerda, sem queixas otológicas ou ingestão de medicações de uso contínuo. Foram solicitados audiometria, imitanciometria e nasolaringofibroscopia, os quais estavam dentro dos padrões da normalidade. Em uma angiotomografia de crânio, foi notada uma malformação arteriovenosa na região frontotemporoparietal esquerda, ponte, bulbo e todo o cerebelo. Discussão: casos de MAVs são raros, mas o principal sintoma apresentado é zumbido pulsátil. O exame de escolha para a confirmação do diagnóstico é a angiotomografia de crânio. Em casos assintomáticos, pode-se optar pelo acompanhamento clínico expectante. Já nos casos sintomáticos, opta-se pelo tratamento cirúrgico, como a embolização superseletiva da MAV com posterior excisão cirúrgica completa. Conclusão: o zumbido pulsátil consequente às MAVs é raro. Porém, quando há suspeita, é fundamental a investigação detalhada, incluindo exames de imagem, já que existem diagnósticos potencialmente graves que necessitam ser avaliados.

A variação de estado nutricional da mulher durante o período gestacional é um importante determinante da sobrevida fetal, sendo avaliada por meio do Índice de Massa Corporal pré-concepcional. Tendo em vista a transição nutricional no Brasil, este estudo objetiva analisar as principais mudanças ocorridas no estado nutricional na população de gestantes em Manhuaçu, Minas Gerais nos últimos dez anos, para propor intervenções com base nas necessidades do município. Este é um estudo ecológico transversal, observacional e descritivo, com base no Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional, e o Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde, sendo delimitado o decênio de 2014 a 2023 e avaliando o estado nutricional das gestantes do município de Manhuaçu. Conclui-se que, apesar de variações anuais, o estado “Adequado ou Eutrófico” engloba a maior quantidade de gestantes todos os anos. “Baixo peso”, por sua vez, demonstra tendência de queda após 2016, com mínima em 2023. “Obesidade”, em contrapartida, apresenta crescimento considerável a partir de 2019 com pico em 2023. Por fim, o estado de “Sobrepeso” mostra-se como uma constante no município, mantendo-se dentro da faixa de 20-29% durante todo o período. Nota-se, porém, que há uma subnotificação do estado nutricional materno, perceptível ao avaliar o número de nascidos vivos no período. Assim, é visível que, em Manhuaçu, as taxas de baixo-peso estão em declínio, ao contraponto que sobrepeso e obesidade aumentam gradativamente. É evidente a importância do adequado registro e acompanhamento do estado nutricional, para guiar ações voltadas para as necessidades reais do município.

Objetivo: O objetivo geral do presente estudo consiste em analisar a produção científica sobre a Alergia à Proteína do Leite de Vaca (APLV) , buscando identificar as principais manifestações clínicas, bem como os principais métodos utilizados no tratamento dessa patologia .Metodologia: É uma revisão sistemática focada em entender os aspectos principais da APLV. A pesquisa foi guiada pela pergunta: “Quais são os principais sinais e sintomas da APLV na população pediátrica, bem como quais são os recursos terapêuticos utilizados na prática clínica?” Para encontrar respostas, foram realizadas buscas na base de dados PubMed usando cinco descritores combinados com o termo booleano “AND”: Milk Hypersensitivity, Pediatrics , Signs and Symptoms, Digestive , Clinical Diagnosis e Diagnosis. Isso resultou em 162 artigos. Sendo selecionado 25 artigos para análise. Resultados: A Alergia à Proteína do Leite de Vaca (APLV) envolve uma resposta imunológica anormal às proteínas do leite. Existem duas formas principais: a típica, que ocorre mais tarde e apresenta sintomas clássicos como erupções e diarreia, e a atípica, que aparece cedo, com sintomas sutis como constipação e refluxo. A APLV pode causar uma variedade de problemas gastrointestinais e sua identificação precoce é crucial. Estudos indicam que a introdução precoce de alérgenos pode prevenir alergias, e o manejo da APLV inclui dietas de eliminação e uso de fórmulas especializadas. A diversidade microbiana intestinal e fatores genéticos também influenciam no desenvolvimento e manejo da APLV.Conclusão: Nos últimos anos, a incidência de alergia à proteína do leite de vaca (APLV) aumentou em bebês e crianças pequenas. Para prevenir, é essencial promover a diversidade alimentar na gravidez e garantir a transferência de anticorpos pelo leite materno. Fórmulas parcialmente hidrolisadas beneficiam bebês em risco não amamentados. Para tratar APLV, fórmulas hidrolisadas extensivas (eHF) são recomendadas, podendo acelerar a tolerância oral.
