Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study

BackgroundThe objective is to estimate parameters of the natural history of panic disorder, including its prodrome, incidence, recovery and recurrence.MethodIn 1981 the Baltimore Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study interviewed 3481 individuals probabilistically selected from the household population. During 1993–1996, 1920 of these individuals (73% of survivors) were interviewed again. Baseline and follow-up interviews included the National Institute of Mental Health Diagnostic Interview Schedule. During the follow-up, a subsample was assessed by psychiatrists using the World Health Organization Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN).ResultsThere were 35 new cases of panic disorder in 24 475 person years of exposure, yielding an annual incidence of 1.43 per 1000 per year. Data from the SCAN assessments suggest the incidence estimate is conservative. Incidence is greater in females and declines with age. About one-third of the new cases arise without agoraphobia, but about half have anxiety of some sort present for many years prior to meeting criteria for diagnosis. People with agoraphobia have less intense onsets but slower recoveries than those without agoraphobia.ConclusionsPanic is heterogeneous in its pattern of onset and recovery. Some of the heterogeneity is associated with the presence of other anxiety over a long period of the life.

Um instrumento utilizado no planejamento ambiental de bacias hidrográficas é o zoneamento (geo)ambiental, principalmente no que diz respeito à expansão urbana. Nesse contexto, o trabalho teve como objetivo a elaboração da carta de potencial de contaminação de aquíferos para a bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão das Pedras (São Paulo, Brasil), na escala de 1:50.000. Esta bacia estende-se por 111,47km2, tendo a maior parte de sua área contida no município de Santa Cruz das Palmeiras e algumas parcelas menores nos municípios de Tambaú, Pirassununga e Porto Ferreira. Para a elaboração deste documento cartográfico foram adotados os seguintes procedimentos: delimitação da bacia a partir da articulação de cartas topográficas no software de Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG) ArcGis® 10.3; elaboração da carta de formações geológicas da bacia e a classificação do potencial de contaminação, por meio de uma análise multicritério, envolvendo cinco classes: muito baixo, baixo, médio, alto e muito alto.  Como resultado, obteve-se a carta de potencial de contaminação, na qual as classes “alto” e “muito alto” potencial somam 36,31% da área, onde as unidades aquíferas têm grande capacidade de fluxo e armazenamento, os potenciais baixo e muito baixo, se localizam nas unidades aquíferas Intrusivas Básicas e Aquicludo Corumbataí, com características que limitam a capacidade de percolação e armazenamento de água. O potencial “médio” teve influência positiva da maioria dos atributos (unidades aquíferas, materiais inconsolidados, declividades e formas do terreno), sendo que o único atributo que contribuiu de forma negativa é o uso da terra, devido às práticas agrícolas. O documento pode contribuir para um melhor ordenamento do território respeitando o meio físico e sua capacidade de suporte, de forma a colaborar para gestão da BHRP.  Anthropic Activities in Ribeirão das Pedras Drainage Basin, São Paulo State, Brazil A B S T R A C TGeoenvironmental zoning is an instrument widely used in the environmental planning of river basins, especially with regard to urban expansion. In this context, the objective of this study was to prepare a 1:50,000-scale chart of the contamination potential of aquifers for the Ribeirão das Pedras watershed, located in Sao Paulo state, Brazil. This river basin comprises an area of 111.47 km2, most of it located in the municipality of Santa Cruz das Palmeiras, with some smaller portions in the municipalities of Tambau, Pirassununga, and Porto Ferreira. The following procedures were conducted for the preparation of this cartographic document: delimitation of the catchment area based on the articulation of topographic charts using the Geographic Information System (SIG) ArcGis® 10.3 software; preparation of a map of geological formations of the basin; and classification of the contamination potential by multicriteria analysis including five classes: very low, low, medium, high, and very high. As a result, a chart of contamination potential was produced showing that the high and very high potential classes comprised 36.31% of the catchment area, where the aquifer units present high water flow and storage capacity; the low and very low potentials are located on the Basic Intrusive and Corumbatai aquifer units, with characteristics that limit the capacity of water percolation and storage; and the medium potential positively influenced most of the attributes (aquifer units, uncontaminated materials, slopes, and geological formations), with land use due to agricultural practices as the only attribute with negative contribution. With this information, it is possible to develop a better land use planning, respecting the physical environment and its support capacity in order to collaborate to the management of this water source.Keywords: Geoenvironmental zoning; Multi-criteria analysis; Aquifer units; Land use planning.
