Correlação entre a apresentação clínica do paciente e a recidiva no hematoma subdural crônico / Correlation between patient clinical presentation and recurrence in chronic subdural hematoma

Objetivos: A presente pesquisa buscou avaliar as condições clínicas de entrada e evolução em casos de hematoma subdural crônico (HSDC), a prevalência de sua recidiva e possíveis associações e correlações entre os parâmetros abordados no estudo e a recidiva do HSDC. Metodologia: Estudo observacional e retrospectivo baseado em 114 casos de HSDC, analisando parâmetros identificados durante internamento hospitalar, posteriormente analisados estatisticamente. Resultados: A prevalência da recidiva do HSDC constatada na amostra foi de 26,32%. Observou-se associação significativa entre crise convulsiva durante internamento e a recidiva do HSDC (p=0.004 e Odds ratio = 6,30), assim como entre reabordagem cirúrgica e a recidiva (p<0,0001 e Odds Ratio tendendo ao infinito). Existe correlação muito forte entre a reabordagem cirúrgica e recidiva (?=0,91 e p< 0,001). Houve também correlação entre crise convulsiva durante o internamento e a recidiva do HSDC, fraca, porém positiva (?=0,26 e p=0,005). Conclusão: A prevalência do fenômeno na amostra esteve de acordo com a encontrada na literatura. Observou-se associação e correlação positiva para crise convulsiva durante internamento e reabordagem cirúrgica quando analisados em conjunto a recidiva do HSDC.

Neurological telerehabilitation in the COVID-19 era – current perspectives through a bibliometric analysis

ObjectiveTo identify bibliometric parameters and research trends regarding to telerehabilitation of patients with stroke in the COVID-19 era.MethodologyThis is an integrative review carried out in the Scopus database, from June to July 2021, through the Biblioshiny graphical interface, provided by the Bibliometrix program. The search terms used were “Stroke,” “COVID-19” and “Telerehabilitation.” Results were filtered by publication date from 2019 onwards. No language restrictions were imposed.ResultsTwenty two articles were included in the study and the results were presented in the form of figures demonstrating that the journal Frontiers in Neurology was the one with the most relevant studies and the author with the highest number of citations. The Brazilian Academy of Neurology was the institution with the greatest number of studies and China ranked first as the country with the greatest scientific production. The authors used recent references in their work. A thematic map showed the centrality and density of the words presented and, finally, a three-field graph showed a strong intimacy between countries, keywords and authors.ConclusionA greater interest in the subject was observed in China with greater relevance of journals and institutions focused on neurology. However, despite telerehabilitation being an effective alternative in the context of the pandemic, few studies have explored this modality

A new comprehensive trait database of European and Maghreb butterflies, Papilionoidea

Trait-based analyses explaining the different responses of species and communities to environmental changes are increasing in frequency. European butterflies are an indicator group that responds rapidly to environmental changes with extensive citizen science contributions to documenting changes of abundance and distribution. Species traits have been used to explain long- and short-term responses to climate, land-use and vegetation changes. Studies are often characterised by limited trait sets being used, with risks that the relative roles of different traits are not fully explored. Butterfly trait information is dispersed amongst various sources and descriptions sometimes differ between sources. We have therefore drawn together multiple information sets to provide a comprehensive trait database covering 542 taxa and 25 traits described by 217 variables and sub-states of the butterflies of Europe and Maghreb (northwest Africa) which should serve for improved trait-based ecological, conservation-related, phylogeographic and evolutionary studies of this group of insects. We provide this data in two forms; the basic data and as processed continuous and multinomial data, to enhance its potential usage
