          Abstract

          RESUMO Estudo fenomenológico baseado no referencial merleau-pontyano, com objetivo de desvelar a percepção de famílias do entorno da Unidade de Concentrado de Urânio em Caetité, Bahia, Brasil, sobre o residir em contexto de vizinhança com a mineradora. As descrições produzidas por meio de entrevistas em grupo com 12 familiares residentes da área de influência da mineradora foram submetidas à analítica da ambiguidade e revelaram a categoria: partir e ficar como (im)possibilidade de tornar-se outro, desvelando a ambiguidade vivenciada, em que a permanência no local envolvia a manutenção de vínculos com a natureza, a vizinhança, o trabalho rural, mas implicava prejuízos à saúde, finanças e existência.

          ABSTRACT Phenomenological study with merleau-pontyan referential, aiming to unveil the perception of families in the surroundings of the Uranium Concentrate Unit in Caetité - Bahia - Brazil, about living in a neighborhood context with the mining company. Descriptions produced through group interviews with 12 family members living in the area of influence of the mining company were submitted to analysis of the ambiguity and revealed the category: departing and staying as (im)possibility of becoming another, revealing the ambiguity experienced, where permanence in the site involved the maintenance of ties with nature, neighborhood, rural work, but implied damages to the health, finances and existence.

            Metals in Urine and Diabetes in U.S. Adults

            Our objective was to evaluate the relationship of urine metals including barium, cadmium, cobalt, cesium, molybdenum, lead, antimony, thallium, tungsten, and uranium with diabetes prevalence. Data were from a cross-sectional study of 9,447 participants of the 1999–2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a representative sample of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. Metals were measured in a spot urine sample, and diabetes status was determined based on a previous diagnosis or an A1C ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol). After multivariable adjustment, the odds ratios of diabetes associated with the highest quartile of metal, compared with the lowest quartile, were 0.86 (95% CI 0.66–1.12) for barium (P trend = 0.13), 0.74 (0.51–1.09) for cadmium (P trend = 0.35), 1.21 (0.85–1.72) for cobalt (P trend = 0.59), 1.31 (0.90–1.91) for cesium (P trend = 0.29), 1.76 (1.24–2.50) for molybdenum (P trend = 0.01), 0.79 (0.56–1.13) for lead (P trend = 0.10), 1.72 (1.27–2.33) for antimony (P trend < 0.01), 0.76 (0.51–1.13) for thallium (P trend = 0.13), 2.18 (1.51–3.15) for tungsten (P trend < 0.01), and 1.46 (1.09–1.96) for uranium (P trend = 0.02). Higher quartiles of barium, molybdenum, and antimony were associated with greater HOMA of insulin resistance after adjustment. Molybdenum, antimony, tungsten, and uranium were positively associated with diabetes, even at the relatively low levels seen in the U.S. population. Prospective studies should further evaluate metals as risk factors for diabetes.

              Nephrotoxicity of uranium: pathophysiological, diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives.

              As in the case of other heavy metals, a considerable body of evidence suggests that overexposure to uranium may cause pathological alterations to the kidneys in both humans and animals. In the present work, our aim was to analyze the available data from a critical perspective that should provide a view of the real danger of the nephrotoxicity of this metal for human beings. A further aim was to elaborate a comparative compilation of the renal pathophysiological data obtained in humans and experimental animals with a view to gaining more insight into our knowledge of the mechanisms of action and renal damage. Finally, we address the existing perspectives for the improvement of diagnostic methods and the treatment of intoxications by uranium, performing an integrated analysis of all these aspects.
