Predictive models of the occurrence of hollows in commercial trees in the Brazilian amazon: a comparison with the hollow test
Background: The prediction of hollows in standing trees is an expensive operation, but it is essential for decision-making about harvesting in managed forests in the Amazon. The hollow test that is currently used has strong limitations for correct prediction of the presence of hollows in a tree of commercial interest. The objective of this research was to select and validate generalized linear logistic models to estimate the occurrence of hollows in trees of fifteen commercial species and to compare the efficiency of the models to the results from the traditional manual method of hollow testing in the state of Pará, Brazil. A database of 27,380 trees was used to adjust models by species. To validate the equations, 9,915 trees from an independent area were used.

STRUCTURAL BRAIN CHANGES IN LATE ONSET DEPRESSION
Background: Structural brain changes in grey matter in late‐life depression (LLD) remains an intriguing area of research. Furthermore, late‐onset depression (LOD) has been frequently associated with general medical comorbidities, cognitive deficits and structural abnormalities of the brain. This magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study compares the grey matter volume of elderly people with and without major depression (DSM‐IV‐TR criteria), as well LOD, early onset depression (EOD) and controls.Method: The sample consisted of elders with and without depression from community. Brain MRI scans were processed using statistical parametric mapping and voxel‐based morphometry.Result: Sixty three elders with depression and 24 controls were enrolled. Demographic characteristics were analyzed and sex showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001) between the groups, with males representing 17.5% of the patient sample and 54.2% of the control sample. Furthermore, MMSE and CAMCOG showed a statistically significant difference between groups (p<0.0001 for both tests), with the control group performing better. Although we excluded cases of patients with below‐expected performance according to the neuropsychological assessment, it is likely that this cognitive impairment presented by the patient group is secondary to major depressive disorder. We did not find a significant volumetric difference between depressed and control group (CG). We used the age of onset of depression as another way of classifying the patient sample and compared it with the control group regarding key demographic and clinical characteristics. Gender was statistically significant different between groups, however there were only 2 male subjects in the EOD group, making it not possible to control the analysis by gender. Compared to the CG (n = 24), the LOD group (n = 32) showed a statistically significant volumetric reduction with correction for multiple comparisons in the right thalamus (464 voxels; peak xyz coordinates = 14 ‐10 16; Z = 4, 62; p‐FWEcorr = 0.052) when using the whole brain for multiple comparisons.Conclusion: Our findings support the use of regional brain atrophy as a tool to better understand LOD.

Evaluation of the Occurrence of Hollows in Trees in Managed Forest in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon
This study proposed to generate information related to the abundance and the structural characteristics of hollows at the tree and species levels in an area of managed forest in the Amazon. A database was used that was composed of 29,899 trees from thirty-eight species that were inventoried, harvested, and measured in ten annual production units that were managed between 2008 and 2017 in the Tapajós National Forest, state of Pará, Brazil. The data was tabulated and reported in absolute and percentage values. Contingency tables were created to identify patterns of occurrence of hollows in commercial stems. A total of 24% of the harvested trees had hollows in at least one section of the commercial stem, and species had different propensities for hollow occurrence. It was found that the larger the tree diameter the greater the possibility for occurrence of hollows, and these hollows were proportionally larger. Most of the hollows in harvested trees were small. Patterns of occurrence in commercial stem hollows were observed, and these were dependent on tree species and size. Most trees had hollows distributed along the entire stem or only at the base of the stem. Study Implications: The presence of hollows in managed native forest trees in the Amazon depends on the species, and trees with larger diameters have a greater probability of having hollows. Furthermore, trees with larger diameters have hollows that have larger diameters, lengths, and volumes. Commercial trees have different patterns of hollows along the stem, and these patterns are dependent on tree species and size. The results of this study will contribute to management of trees with hollows in the Amazon Forest as well as to serve as a base for future studies related to this theme.

Sepse neonatal: as principais linhas de tratamento com antimicrobianos
Objetivo: Descrever por meio de estudos científicos as principais linhas de tratamento com antimicrobianos da sepse precoce e tardia no recém-nascido. Métodos: O estudo caracterizou-se como revisão integrativa da literatura com abordagem qualitativa descritiva. Foram selecionados 11 artigos relacionados ao tema sepse neonatal e antibioticoterapia, publicados entre 2015 a 2020 na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) e no Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Resultados: A sepse neonatal é classificada como precoce e tardia. A primeira relaciona-se ao período pré-natal e seus riscos de contaminação. A segunda a fatores assistenciais em unidades hospitalares que levam à infecção. A ampicilina e gentamicina são eficazes no tratamento empírico da sepse neonatal precoce, embora outros estudos em instituições hospitalares tenham apontado para utilização de outros medicamentos como primeira escolha. Na sepse neonatal tardia o tratamento deu-se com oxacilina, amicacina, vancomicina, meropenem, cefepima e outros remédios eficazes diante do resultado da hemocultura relacionada ao microrganismo e à sensibilidade dos medicamentos. Considerações finais: A sepse neonatal é um problema mundial relacionado ao período gestacional ou à assistência hospitalar. Muitas vezes pode ser evitada e tratada sem deixar sequelas no indivíduo. Contudo, é necessário conhecimento médico diante às principais medicações e formas corretas de uso em recém-nascidos.

Post-fire dynamics of tree vegetation in forests with and without a history of selective logging in the Eastern Amazon
Worldwide, forests are susceptible to fire. Forests with fire and selective logging interactions require monitoring and evaluation. This study evaluated the phytosociology and dynamics of tree vegetation in a disturbed forest (DF) and an undisturbed forest (UF) in selective logging areas affected by fire, in the Brazilian East Amazon. All trees with DBH ≥ 5 cm were measured and identified botanically in 93 plots (5 X 50 m) in the DF area and 58 plots (5 X 50 m) in the UF area, in 2010 (before logging), 2011, 2015 and 2017 (two years after the fire). Analysis of species and tree composition, diversity, similarity, mortality and recruitment were carried out. The fire affected the DF and UF areas in a similar proportion in terms of trees loss and basal area, intensifying the mortality rate. In the short term (2 years), the fire did not cause a significant reduction in species diversity, but there was a tendency towards a similarity loss in species composition in the area disturbed by logging. Subsequent assessments are necessary to understand the forest's recovery mechanisms.

Estoque de árvores em uma área não manejada na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, PA
O presente estudo objetivou analisar a estrutura populacional e o estoque dos recursos florestais de uma área não manejada na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, estado do Pará. Para isso, foram alocadas sistematicamente 67 unidades amostrais com 20 m x 100 m, onde foram mensuradas todas as árvores com diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP) ≥ 5 cm, considerando as seguintes classes de tamanhos (CT): CT 1-Regeneração natural (20 m x 10 m): 5 cm ≤ DAP < 10 cm; CT 2-Futura colheita (20 m x 50 m): 10 cm ≤ DAP < 50 cm; CT 3-Colheita (20 m x 100 m): DAP ≥ 50 cm. Foram avaliados a estrutura populacional, distribuição diamétrica e espacial, qualidade de fuste das árvores e a presença de cipó titica (Heteropsis spp). As espécies Carapa guianensis, Lecythis lurida e Manilkara elata que possuem alto interesse comercial estiveram entre as de maiores importância na área e com maiores volumes. Os tipos de distribuição espacial abrangeram totais de árvores bastante próximos e a distribuição diamétrica para a floresta e para as três espécies de interesse comercial seguiu o formato de “j” invertido. A área em estudo sugere potencial de recursos madeireiros e não madeireiros, com boa ocorrência de cipó titica como fonte potencial de utilização por comunidades, elucidando que o uso múltiplo de florestas deve ser considerado e estudos que mostrem esta viabilidade devem ser incentivados e replicados na Amazônia.

Multipropósito de Hymenaea courbaril L. em uma área de manejo florestal comunitário na Amazônia
Na Amazônia, numerosas espécies possuem valor comercial madeireiro e de produtos florestais não madeireiros (PFNM), havendo uma carência na quantificação deste segundo recurso e de meios que incentivem a utilização dos multiprodutos da floresta, de modo a aliar a produção dos mesmos. Com o intuito de investigar o potencial para multiprodutos de espécies florestais, este estudo analisou a estrutura populacional de Hymenaea courbaril L. em uma área de manejo comunitário e verificou o mercado de seus produtos não madeireiros na área urbana de Santarém-Pa. A área de estudo se localiza na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós no estado do Pará. A coleta de dados para análise da estrutura da floresta foi executada por meio de inventário 100%, obtendo-se o diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP) ≥ 40 cm, altura comercial e qualidade de fuste das árvores. A avaliação do mercado de PFNM foi realizada com a aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas com comerciantes das feiras de produtos naturais da cidade de Santarém-PA. A baixa densidade estimada é característica de populações de Hymenaea courbaril e sua distribuição espacial ocorreu agrupada na maior parte da área. A qualidade de fuste aliada à simulação de produtividade madeireira, assim como, a quantificação e valoração do produto seiva, são atraentes para um possível manejo. A estrutura da população de H. courbaril e a produção de madeira e seiva, demonstram potencial para comercialização. No entanto, o produto seiva tem pouca demanda de venda, e consequentemente, baixa rentabilidade financeira.
