Physiological and Morphological Similarities between the Octodon Degus Retina and the Human Retina

Octodon degus is a rodent with diurnal crepuscular activity. Here we compare the function and morphology of the retina of this diurnal rodent with the retinas of nocturnal rodents and humans.

Patient safety in the operating room and documentary quality related to infection and hospitalization

Objective: To describe the documentary quality of two records related to patient safety in the operating room and to identify differences between information related to infection and hospitalization. Methods: Comparative study based on two cross sections, conducted with 3,033 patients who had been hospitalized for more than 24 hours in an Orthopedics and Traumatology Center. Sociodemographic and clinical data, as well as information provided in forms were compared. Postoperative infection was identified as an adverse event. Results: There was a significant correlation between hospitalization days and the total number of diagnoses collected (Pearson=0.328; p<0.001). When diagnoses and infections were grouped together, a significant value was found between closed fractures and infection (p=0.001). Conclusion: Differences in the degree of completion were observed between the two records. There were no differences between adverse events.
