AbstractIncongruities in the terminology and in the Brazilian legislation about percutaneous facet procedures (PFPs) for the treatment of chronic lower back pain are frequently the subject of litigations between health professionals and supplementary healthcare providers. The Brazilian Hierarchical Classification of Medical Procedures (CBHPM, in the Portuguese acronym) describes four types of PFPs, while the Brazilian Unified Supplementary Health Terminology (TUSS, in the Portuguese acronym) describes five distinct lumbar PFPs, which correlate with the ones described on the List of Procedures and Events in Health, created by the Brazilian National Agency of Supplementary Health (ANS, in the Portuguese acronym). In the present paper, we review the terminology of the procedures, proposing the unification of the terminology and the abolition of redundancies in the tables. Finally, we developed a single terminology proposal for the PFPs based on their complexity and objectives to be used for the treatment of lower back pain.

Past utilization of groundwater resources in Vojvodina (the Serbian part of the Pannonian Basin) has resulted in a number of water supply problems, particularly insufficient water quantities and the deterioration of water quality. Increasing pressure on groundwater resources has resulted in over-abstraction (aquifer “mining”), with current abstraction rates exceeding sustainable yield. Water supply in Vojvodina is generally based on a groundwater aquifer (generally referred to as “the main” aquifer) which is shared with Hungary, Romania and Croatia. In order to achieve a better balance in groundwater utilization between the environment and water users (i.e. to establish a sound basis for sustainable utilization, management and protection of the transboundary aquifer), the development of new, renewable groundwater sources in the Danube and Sava alluvions has been proposed.

Abstract Effective management of groundwater resources during drought is essential. How is groundwater currently managed during droughts, and in the face of environmental change, what should be the future priorities? Four themes are explored, from the perspective of groundwater management in England (UK): (1) integration of drought definitions; (2) enhanced fundamental monitoring; (3) integrated modelling of groundwater in the water cycle; and (4) better information sharing. Whilst these themes are considered in the context of England, globally, they are relevant wherever groundwater is affected by drought.
