RESUMO

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation has initiated a near-continuous review of cardiopulmonary resuscitation science that replaces the previous 5-year cyclic batch-and-queue approach process. This is the first of an annual series of International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations summary articles that will include the cardiopulmonary resuscitation science reviewed by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation in the previous year. The review this year includes 5 basic life support and 1 pediatric Consensuses on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations. Each of these includes a summary of the science and its quality based on Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria and treatment recommendations. Insights into the deliberations of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task force members are provided in Values and Preferences sections. Finally, the task force members have prioritized and listed the top 3 knowledge gaps for each population, intervention, comparator, and outcome question

RESUMO

Microsatellite markers were analyzed in Japanese quails, Coturnix japonica, using different methodologies (PAGE and automated genotyping), in order to evaluate their use in paternity testing. Ten animal triplets composed by a female and two males were used to mate and generate an offspring. Paternity was determined in five-day-old embryos, and the data generated by fluorescent labeled and tailored primers in PCR and further automated genotyping were robust. Three microsatellite markers were polymorphic (Na = 5-8, H E = 0.75) and no loci were found to deviate significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or showed any evidence of linkage disequilibrium (p > 0.05). A slight heterozygote deficiency and some incompatibilities between the female known parent and its offspring that involved homozygous genotypes were observed at GUJ0001 locus and may indicate the presence of null alleles. Although a reduced set of microsatellite primers were applied, it was possible to determine the paternity of 96.87% of the embryos, using combined data of three loci. The approach was useful for parentage inferring in a captive population of C. japonica and the results evidenced a potential polyandric mating system in the species, in which no advantage mechanism of last-male sperm precedence seems to occur.

RESUMO

Human activities have a considerable impact on hydrographic systems and fish fauna. The present review on conservation genetics of neotropical freshwater fish reveals that DNA analyses have been promoting increased knowledge on the genetic structure of fish species and their response to environmental changes. This knowledge is fundamental to the management of wild fish populations and the establishment of Evolutionary Significant Units capable of conserving genetic integrity. While population structuring can occur even in long-distance migratory fish, isolated populations can show reduced genetic variation and be at greater risk of extinction. Phylogeography and phylogeny have been powerful tools in understanding the evolution of fish populations, species and communities in distinct neotropic environments. Captive fish can be used to introduce new individuals and genes into the wild and their benefits and disadvantages can be monitored through genetic analysis. Understanding how fish biodiversity in neotropical freshwaters is generated and maintained is highly important, as these habitats are transformed by human development and fish communities are increasingly exploited as food sources to sustain a growing human population.

Atividades humanas têm um grande impacto sobre os sistemas hidrográficos e a fauna de peixes. A presente revisão em genética da conservação dos peixes de água doce neotropicais revela que as análises de DNA têm promovido um crescimento no conhecimento da estrutura genética das espécies e suas respostas às alterações ambientais. Este conhecimento é fundamental para o manejo das populações de peixes nativos e para o estabelecimento de Unidades Evolutivas Significantes capazes de conservar a integridade genética dessas populações. Enquanto o fenômeno de estruturação de populações pode ocorrer mesmo em peixes migradores de longas distâncias, populações isoladas podem mostrar reduzida variação genética e apresentar grande risco de extinção. Em adição, a filogeografia e a filogenia têm dado importantes contribuições para o entendimento da evolução das populações, espécies e comunidades de peixes em distintos ambientes neotropicais. Populações de cativeiro podem ser utilizadas como fonte de introdução de novos indivíduos e genes no ambiente natural e seus benefícios e desvantagens podem ser monitorados por meio de análises genéticas. É altamente importante, portanto, entender como é gerada e mantida a biodiversidade de peixes de água doce neotropicais, uma vez que os habitats são transformados pelo desenvolvimento humano e as comunidades de peixes têm sido intensamente exploradas como alimento de sustentação desse crescimento das populações humanas.

RESUMO

A microsatellite locus from the Neotropical fish genus Prochilodus was isolated using PCR-based isolation of microsatellite arrays. Of 470 positive clones, 15 were sequenced, and 10 of them showed an (AATTT)(n) repeat. Primers were designed, and analysis of polymorphism revealed 11 alleles in three Prochilodus species. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed signals predominantly in the telomeric regions of several chromosomes. The description of this microsatellite may contribute to studies of the population structure of this fish group.
