Birds of prey, such as the caracara (Caracara plancus), are important ecological indicators, but their behaviors in anthropized areas of the Amazon are still poorly understood. This study aimed to analyze the behavior of Caracara plancus in an anthropized area, using an ethogram as a recording tool. The work was carried out on the campus of the Center for Higher Studies of Parintins (CESP/UEA), Amazonas, between November 2025 and February 2026. Observations took place in the morning (8 am - 11 am) and afternoon (2 pm - 5 pm) shifts, totaling 126 hours of sampling effort, distributed over 21 days of observation throughout the period. The ethogram was developed from a test phase with ad libitum recording, followed by systematic observations of behaviors, which were categorized into maintenance, locomotion, resting, feeding, and interaction. 724 behaviors were recorded, resulting in an ethogram with 12 distinct behaviors. The resting category was the most frequent (27%), followed by feeding (24%) and locomotion (23%). Perching behavior was the most expressive individually. The morning period concentrated most of the activities, especially locomotion, feeding, and interaction, while the afternoon stood out for maintenance behaviors. Proximity to the municipal garbage dump and the campus configuration directly influenced the availability of resources and the opportunistic behavior of the species. It is concluded that Caracara plancus demonstrates high adaptability to the anthropized environment, strategically using the study area for foraging, surveillance, and resting. The generated ethogram fills a gap in the ethology of the species in the Amazon, providing support for management and conservation studies in urbanized environments.

Violência sexual contra as meninas e mulheres das/nas fronteiras e migrantes: um estudo sobre as rotas críticas percorridas no Amazonas
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2026-05-29) Pérez, Heloísa Maria Martins; Pontes, Munique Therense Costa de Morais; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8420017702244546; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6121751381254950; Andrade, Cristiane Batista; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7610067232753753; Pontes, Munique Therense Costa de Morais; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8420017702244546; Ferreira, Breno de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1349420367392809; Brandão, Elaine Reis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5788713244924150
We start from the assumption that sexual violence is not limited to physical aggression, but includes any form of violation of another person’s dignity and autonomy, constituting a manifestation of the violation of human, sexual, and reproductive rights. It involves historical, patriarchal, social, and cultural dimensions, as well as intersectional markers that become even more pronounced when considering the Amazonian and border context. This reflects a reality in which sexual crimes remain constant, with a significant increase in reported cases of rape and statutory rape in Brazil, including in the state of Amazonas. Therefore, considering our concerns as researchers and the context in which we are situated, in dialogue with the aims of the human and social sciences within Public Health, this study sought to understand the critical pathways of girls and women from/at borders and migrants in situations of sexual violence, as they navigate health services in Amazonas, based on the narratives of care professionals. We employed feminist theoretical frameworks alongside the concepts of gender, gender-based violence, and intersectionality, articulated with reproductive justice as a human right. Our methodological approach is based on qualitative social research, with the first field site located in the Alto Solimões microregion and the second consisting of an institute in Manaus that supports cisgender and transgender girls and women in situations of violence. The three participants are professionals linked to the network of services for victims of violence in Amazonas. Data were collected through individual interviews using a semi-structured guide, audio recordings, and field notes. Data analysis was conducted through Thematic Analysis, resulting in two major thematic repertoires. The main findings indicate that critical pathways are dynamic and non-linear processes, marked by movements between services, fragmentation of the network, and multiple forms of denial of rights. Access to and continuity of care are shaped by territorial, institutional, and communicational inequalities, especially in border contexts, where factors such as nationality, language, and documentation challenge the recognition of users as rights-bearing subjects. Care is produced in everyday practice beyond formal protocols, through negotiations, improvisations, and mediations, with particular emphasis on the role of network professionals – including migrants – as linguistic and cultural mediators. In the face of limitations within formal services, informal networks and community- based circuits are also mobilized. It is concluded that the effectiveness of these pathways depends on the articulation among services and the strengthening of intersectoral strategies that take into account the specificities of the Amazonian context.

(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2025-12-02) Rocha, Maria Luiza Gurjão; Pontes, Danielson Guedes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7447583633773047; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4264119237869077; Pontes, Danielson Guedes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7447583633773047; Silva, Cimara Barroso Braga da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6742624466097872; Ferreira, Giselle Desideri Tino Barbosa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7410506265552626
ABSTRACT Horizontal root fractures represent a clinical challenge as they affect anterior teeth, compromising esthetics, function, and the patient’s quality of life. Although relatively uncommon, accurate diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment planning are essential for tooth preservation and therapeutic success. This case report describes the clinical management of a 19-year-old male patient, victim of a motorcycle accident, who presented a horizontal root fracture in the maxillary left lateral incisor. The adopted protocol involved surgical extrusion of the remaining root, followed by endodontic treatment using the single-cone obturation technique and subsequent cementation of a glass fiber post with dual-cure resin cement. The restorative phase included coronal reconstruction with incremental composite resin, aided by a silicone guide obtained from a diagnostic wax-up, which ensured greater esthetic and functional predictability. After finishing and polishing, the restoration achieved satisfactory esthetic integration with adjacent teeth and functional recovery, along with the onset of periapical bone neoformation consistent with physiological repair. This case highlights that a conservative approach integrating Endodontics, Restorative Dentistry, and Esthetics is a predictable and effective alternative for preserving anterior teeth affected by horizontal fractures, providing functional and esthetic results and restoring patient self-esteem.

The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge and practices of parents and caregivers of hospitalized children regarding children's oral health routines during hospitalization. Material and method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 98 caregivers/companions of hospitalized children from March to June 2025 at the Amazonas Children's Health Institute, a public pediatric hospital located in Manaus, Amazonas. Data collection was performed through interviews using a questionnaire adapted to the reality of hospitalization, divided into a profile design and an oral health questionnaire with domains of “practice,” “attitude,” and “knowledge.” The collected data were submitted to descriptive and statistical analysis using Excel 2016. Result: Most respondents were female (87.7%) and “mothers” (72.5%). Regarding educational level, most reported having completed high school (60.2%). The average age was 36.6 years. In the interview, 83.7% of the responses were adequate in “practice,” 41.8% in “attitude,” and 56.1% in “knowledge.” Regarding the presence of oral hygiene kits, 92.8% of participants reported having a toothbrush for the patient, 45.9% had dental floss, and 93.8% had toothpaste for oral hygiene during hospitalization. Conclusion: Those responsible stated that they performed oral hygiene for hospitalized children, but revealed misinformation about the subject and the correct use of oral hygiene items, thus suggesting that the presence of a dental surgeon can contribute to maintaining their oral health.

Atuação de um Centro de Informações Estratégicas em Vigilância em Saúde em uma região de fronteira internacional do Brasil
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2026-06-26) Santos, Maria Luiza Pereira dos; Melo, Giane Zupellari dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7048020974666865; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9972239882802759; Melo, Giane Zupellari dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7048020974666865; Nina, Socorro de Fátima Moraes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3860447010896288; Lima, Rodrigo Tobias de Sousa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2119443634355275
The study aimed to analyze how Health Surveillance and the Strategic Health Surveillance Information Center respond to public health emergencies in the international tri-border region of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. This is a single-case, descriptive study with a qualitative approach, conducted in the context of the Brazil–Colombia–Peru tri-border region, with the municipality of Tabatinga, Amazonas, Brazil, as the case. Three sources of evidence were included in the study: interviews with managers from the Municipal Health Department of Tabatinga, the Border Laboratory, and the CIEVS of the Alto Rio Solimões Indigenous Health District; documents; and non-participant direct observations. The collected data were organized and coded with the support of ATLAS.ti® software. For data analysis, theoretical propositions were used as an analytical strategy, along with the construction of evidence-based descriptions as a technique. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Amazonas State University. The results are presented in the case report description, which situates Tabatinga within the tri-border context and in the monitoring of diseases and health conditions through the Border CIEVS, organized into three categories that describe the evidence. The first category addresses actions and strategies for responding to public health emergencies in an international border region. The second reveals the existence of interinstitutional relationships to ensure shared objectives in health surveillance in an international border. The third explains the integration of CIEVS and Health Surveillance actions within the Health Care Network and their role in organizing health care for border populations. The study concludes that the field of public health emergencies requires assertive and coordinated actions to address them. This is a complex field for public health, dependent on public policies that take into account the specificities and vulnerabilities of border regions, especially the international tri-border region of Amazonas. In the tri-border area—Tabatinga (Brazil), Leticia (Colombia), and Santa Rosa (Peru)—health surveillance for border populations presents specific arrangements for analysis, monitoring, evaluation, and responses to diseases and health conditions affecting the territory, involving joint action by the Border CIEVS, epidemiological surveillance, and the border laboratory. At the border, actions have been undertaken to strengthen the integration of health surveillance in the tri-border region through joint interinstitutional initiatives among the technical coordination bodies of the three countries, the maintenance of informal agreements, and the establishment of information flows for disease notification. To consolidate the monitoring of the health situation in the international border region, it is suggested to create a subsystem for monitoring border population health surveillance, with unified data from the three countries, supported by financial incentives from all three nations to improve and enhance the trinational health situation room, enabling data analysis and the timely standardized sharing of health information to support decision-making by managers.
