A narrative review of papers published from January 2011 to December 2021, after a literature search in selected databases using the terms “pharmacokinetics”, “ibuprofen”, “diclofenac”, “acemetacin”, ...“naproxen”, “etodolac” and “etoricoxib” was performed. From 828 articles identified, only eight met the inclusion criteria. Selective COX-2 inhibitors are associated with higher cardiovascular risk, while non-selective COX inhibitors are associated with higher gastrointestinal risk. NSAIDs with lower renal excretion with phase 2 metabolism are less likely to induce adverse effects and drug-drug interactions. Patients with frequent NSAID use needs, such as elderly patients and patients with cardiovascular disease or impaired renal function, will benefit from lower renal excretion (e.g. acemethacin, diclofenac, and etodolac) (level of evidence 3). Polymedicated patients, elderly patients, and patients with chronic alcohol abuse will be at a lower risk for adverse effects with NSAIDs that undergo phase 2 liver biotransformation, namely, acemethacin and diclofenac (level of evidence 3). Young patients, patients dealing with acute pain, or with active and/or chronic symptomatic gastritis, selective COX-2 inhibitors (celecoxib or etoricoxib) may be a better option (level of evidence 2). Knowing the individual characteristics of the patients, combined with knowledge on basic pharmacology, offers greater safety and better adherence to therapy.
Although there are several NSAIDs options to treat pain, physicians usually take special care to its prescription regarding cardiovascular and gastrointestinal side effects, despite the age of the patient. In this paper, based on the best evidence, the authors present a review of the safest NSAIDs to use in the elderly.

•Many guidelines about NSAIDs are outdated, as they highlight the safety of naproxen to patients with cardiovascular disease.•However, as we now know, neither this is true, nor we have some NSAIDs proved superior in this case.•What we should do is to be watchful about patient features and NSAIDs differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
Abstract
The characteristics of urban green space have context-dependent associations with socioeconomic status (SES). Latin American cities provide a unique but understudied context to assess the ...green space-SES associations. We measured the quantity and quality of green space as greenness from satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and we modeled the relationship between greenness and SES in 371 major Latin American cities between 2000 and 2015. We found that SES was negatively associated with average greenness at city and sub-city scales, which could be explained by urbanization generally improving SES while reducing the provision of green space. About 82% of the cities and 64% of the sub-cities experienced greening or increases in greenness over time. Although with lower average greenness, cities with higher SES had greater greening; however, it was the opposite for sub-cities. We suggest that greening is more likely to take place in peripheral sub-cities where SES tends to be lower. The findings challenge the belief that places with higher SES have better access to environmental resources and amenities; instead, this relationship is context dependent.
Presents the contributions of the Cuca Network Library System (Fortaleza/Ceará) in the context of information mediation and cultural mediation through the promotion and realization of Geek Month, an ...event that aims to awaken in young people the interest for culture and information. It seeks to reflect on the influence caused by geek, nerd and pop culture on its consumer public, characterized, in its great majority, by young people. It analyzes the strategies used by the promoters of the event in terms of the appropriation of knowledge of a type of culture that usually only reaches the most economically favored classes. Regarding methodology, it is used bibliographic research and exploratory research, through quali-quantitative analysis of data obtained through the editions of the Geek Month, from 2017 to 2021 and interviews with librarians and other members of the promoting teams. We conclude that, through the cultural universe presented by Geek Month, we realize the importance of information mediation and cultural mediation, which open paths for the production, circulation and appropriation of knowledge by the subjects, intensifying the struggle and contribution to a less unequal society, which perceives information and culture as social and human rights.

La propuesta de este trabajo es presentar las diferentes motivaciones de los "brasiguayos" para circular en las fronteras entre Paraguay y Brasil, pero específicamente de aquellos que residen en ...municipios paraguayos fronterizos con Brasil. Se realizaron 39 entrevistas a profundidad con "brasiguayos" residentes en Ypehjú, Salto del Guairá y Pedro Juan Caballero. Se constató que la circularidad de los "brasiguayos" en las fronteras nacionales de Paraguay y Brasil es motivada por la demanda de servicios públicos en las áreas de salud y educación, de beneficios asistenciales, por compras, visitas, religión y trabajo. Esas demandas revelan las diferentes estrategias de adaptación y supervivencia de los "brasiguayos" residentes en dicha región y la importancia de sus lazos formales e informales para intercambiar recursos, información y solidaridad que les permitan acceder a bienes y servicios brasileños. The purpose of this work, which is part of a doctoral thesis, is to present the different motivations of "brasiguaios" to move between the border towns of Paraguay and Brazil, more specifically those residing in Paraguayan towns which share a border with Brazil. Thirty-nine in-depth interviews were performed with the "brasiguaios" residents in the towns of Ypehjú, Salto del Guaira and Pedro Juan Caballero. It was found that the circulation of "brasiguaios" between the national border of Paraguay and Brazil is motivated by the demand for public services in the areas of health and education, welfare benefits, for shopping, visiting people, religion and work. These demands reveal the different adaptation and survival strategies of "brasiguaios", the residents living in Paraguayan towns on the border of Brazil, and the importance of their formal and informal ties to share resources, information and solidarity to enable them to access Brazilian goods and services. Moreover, the attention of the policymakers need to be drawn to these regions of Brazil's national borders, since this intense circulation can interfere with the balance of supply and demand for public services in Brazil.
An investigation has been performed on the effect of liquid phase recirculation velocity and increasing influent concentration on the stability and efficiency of an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor ...(ASBR) containing granular biomass. The reactor treated 1.3
L synthetic wastewater at 30
°C in 6
h cycles. Initially the effect of recirculation velocity was investigated employing velocities of 5, 7 and 10
m/h and influent concentration of 500
mg
COD/L. At these velocities, filtered sample organic matter removal efficiencies were 83, 85 and 84%, respectively. A first order kinetic model could also be fitted to the experimental organic matter concentration profiles. The kinetic parameter values of this model were 1.35, 2.36 and 1.00
h
−1 at the recirculation velocities of 5, 7 and 10
m/h, respectively. The recirculation velocity of 7
m/h was found to be the best operating strategy and this value was maintained while the influent concentration was altered in order to verify system efficiency and stability at increasing organic load. Influent concentration of 1000
mg
COD/L resulted in filtered sample organic matter removal efficiency of 80%, and a first order kinetic parameter value of 1.14
h
−1, whereas the concentration of 1500
mg
COD/L resulted in an efficiency of 82% and a kinetic parameter value of 1.31
h
−1.

OBJETIVO: São descritos surtos de salmonelose notificados no período de julho de 1993 a junho de 1997 na região Noroeste do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, tendo em vista os vários surtos de veiculação ...alimentar ocasionados por Salmonella nessa região. MÉTODO: Foram obtidos 19 inquéritos epidemiológicos para análise de dados, 87 amostras de fezes e 38 amostras de alimentos, incluindo 12 de ovos para análise microbiológica. Cepas de Salmonella foram submetidas a sorotipagem, fagotipagem e teste de sensibilidade a 13 agentes antimicrobianos. RESULTADOS: Foram acometidas 906 pessoas com 295 hospitalizações. Cepas de Salmonella Enteritidis Fagotipo 4 foram isoladas de 80,5% das coproculturas, de todas amostras de alimentose de 41,7% dos ovos. Em 22 (95,7%) surtos os a salmonela foi veiculada por alimentos contendo ovos crus ou semicrus. Os testes de sensibilidade a antimicrobianos revelaram sensibilidade à maioria das cepas. CONCLUSÕES: Considerando os resultados obtidos, torna-se necessária a implantação e intensificação de medidas de controle na produção e armazenamento dos ovos, além da orientação à população quanto aos riscos no consumo inadequado desse alimento.
