“…In fact, in our cohort, one‐third of the pts lived more than 500 km away from the hospital; hence, it is a representative sample of children with complex diseases from all regions of our country attended in the public sector. Only, Chilean 5–7 and Brazilian authors 8,9 have published reports on other pediatric Latin American experiences on HV. Few pediatric reports have been published from other emerging countries 10–14 …”

Background Pediatric home ventilation (HV) has increased worldwide. A Home Ventilation Program (HVP) was started in the Pulmonary Department of the “Hospital de Pediatría Prof. Dr. J. P. Garrahan,” Argentina, in 2007. This is the largest Argentine national pediatric tertiary care referral center. Limited studies on pediatric HV from Latin American countries have been published. Objective This study describes and analyzes the cohort of children admitted to the HVP during an 11 years period. Methods Longitudinal study. Population: all patients (pts) admitted to the HVP between 2007 and 2018. We analyzed demographic and clinical variables, sleep study results, ventilation setting, and start manner collected in a prospective data base. Results A total of 244 pts were admitted. Median age at ventilation start was 9.41 (3.47‐14.08) years, 84% of pts had health insurance. The most frequent underlying diseases were neuromuscular disease (43%) and genetic syndromes (23%). Home‐hospital distance was 100‐500 km in 16% of cases and greater than 500 km in 34%. Seventy percent of pts had sleep studies before ventilation initiation. Ventilation was started in our general pediatric ward in 83.6%. Noninvasive ventilation was used in 86.1%. The actual number of pts still on follow up is 133 of 244 (54.5%), 16.8% dropped out, 16.4% were transitioned to adult care, 5.32% resolved their sleep‐disordered breathing, and 5.32% died. Conclusions The HVP admitted pts from all the country. Ventilation was started on the basis of clinical and objective sleep measures. This long‐term experience underlines the feasibility of a HVP in an emergent country.

Water footprint has been widely used to illustrate the consumption of water in many situations; for instance, in products, processes or regions of interest. In this work, we analyzed – using a sensitivity analysis approach – the effect of some variables in the calculation of the water footprint in the viticulture in Brazilian Serra Gaúcha (the major producing region of Brazilian Wine).The classical Penman-Monteith model for evapotransporation was considered, with uncertainties in some parameters (dead mulch covering fraction in the vineyard, maximum temperatures for some months, altitudes and latitudes of the site). The sensitivity analysis was conducted using the SAFE toolbox under Octave framework. The results indicated that the the portion of the water footprint corresponding to the evapotranspiration is more sensitive to the values of mulch covering fraction and the altitude of the site in comparison with the latitude and the maximum temperatures.

The classical Penman–Monteith model for evapotransporation was considered, with uncertainties in some parameters (dead mulch covering a fraction of the vineyard, maximum temperatures for some months, the altitudes and latitudes of the site). A sensitivity analysis was conducted using the SAFE toolbox under Octave framework. The results indicated that the the portion of the water footprint corresponding to evapotranspiration is more sensitive to the values of the mulch-covered fraction and the altitude of the site in comparison with the latitude and the maximum temperatures.
