Drylands constitute more than 40%of global land and are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate *** many of these drylands,livestock activities are a major form of *** Brazil,the two major dryland biomes,Cerrado and Caatinga,play a key role in the country’s livestock *** important economically,these activities also contribute to the emission of high amounts of greenhouse *** suggested strategy for mitigating the impacts of climate change is the adoption of silvopastoral systems(SPS)which combine trees,pasture,and animals simultaneously on the same unit of *** in the drylands of Brazil have a long history of practicing *** practice of silvopasture is relevant to both climate change and the economy,but not necessarily to the issues of biodiversity loss and economic *** lack of interdisciplinarity in rural agricultural development projects in the past,such as those related to the“Green Revolution”,resulted in the aggravation of economic inequalities and biodiversity *** present work,focusing on the Brazilian Drylands,reviews these issues to justify the need for interdisciplinary projects considering multiple variables like soil quality,tree density,biodiversity richness,and farmers’perception.

BACKGROUND With an ongoing demand for transplantable organs,optimization of donor management protocols,specifically in trauma populations,is important for obta-ining a high yield of viable organs per *** management of brain-dead potential organ donors(BPODs)is controversial,leading to heterogeneous clinical management *** studies have shown that when levo-thyroxine was combined with other treatments,including steroids,vasopressin,and insulin,BPODs had better organ recovery and survival outcomes were increased for transplant *** To determine if levothyroxine use in combination with steroids in BPODs increased the number of organs donated in trauma *** A retrospective review of adult BPODs from a single level 1 trauma center over ten years was *** criteria included patients who were not solid organ donors,patients who were not declared brain dead(donation after circulatory death),and patients who did not receive steroids in their hospital *** and steroid administration,the number of organs donated,the types of organs donated,and demographic information were *** analyses were performed with P0.05).In the ST/LT group,68.1%(n=47)donated a high yield(3-5)of organ types per donor compared to 42.1%(n=8)in the ST group(P=0.038).There was no difference in the total number of organ types donated between the groups(P=0.068).CONCLUSION This study suggests that combining levothyroxine and steroid administration increases high-yield organ donation per donor in BPODs in the trauma patient *** to this study include
