Poplars mother stocks : cuttings production at Chacras de Coria

Las Salicáceas se multiplican principalmente por estacas que se pueden obtener de distintas fuentes. Entre ellas, plantas madres en huertos clonales dedicados específicamente a ese fin. En la región cuyana, durante los últimos años, se han incorporado nuevos clones. EI objetivo de este trabajo fue conocer la producción probable de estacas por planta, obtenibles a los seis años de edad, con los 46 clones existentes en la colección del Instituto Forestal de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias (UNCuyo).Salicaceae are multiplied mainly bycuttings. One way to obtain them is to cutgardens. A collection of 46 poplar motherstocks has been planted at the Forestry Institute (Faculty of Agrarian Sciencies, National Salicaceae are multiplied mainly bycuttings. One way to obtain them is to cut them off mother stocks settled in clonalgardens. Their average production ofcuttings for plant have been determinated forthe first 6 years of plantation.Fil: Arreghini, Rosa I.. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias.

Is Whole-Body Cryostimulation an Effective Add-On Treatment in Individuals with Fibromyalgia and Obesity? A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Pain severity, depression, and sleep disturbances are key targets for FM rehabilitation. Recent evidence suggests that whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) might be an effective add-on treatment in the management of FM. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an add-on WBC intervention to a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program on pain intensity, depressive symptoms, disease impact, sleep quality, and performance-based physical functioning in a sample of FM patients with obesity. We performed a randomized controlled trial with 43 patients with FM and obesity undergoing a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program with and without the addition of ten 2-min WBC sessions at −110 °C over two weeks. According to our results, the implementation of ten sessions of WBC over two weeks produced additional benefits. Indeed, both groups reported positive changes after the rehabilitation; however, the group that underwent WBC intervention had greater improvements in the severity of pain, depressive symptoms, disease impact, and quality of sleep. On the contrary, with respect to performance-based physical functioning, we found no significant between-group differences. Our findings suggest that WBC could be a promising add-on treatment to improve key aspects of FM, such as pain, depressive symptoms, disease impact and poor sleep quality

Nutritional status in post SARS-Cov2 rehabilitation patients

After prolonged hospitalization, the assessment of nutritional status and the identification of adequate nutritional support is of paramount importance. In this observational study, we aimed at assessing the presence of a malnutrition condition in SARS-Cov2 patients after the acute phase and the effects of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program on nutritional and functional status

GH Responsiveness to Combined GH-Releasing Hormone and Arginine Administration in Obese Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Reportedly, fibromyalgia (FM) is frequently associated with reduced IGF-1 levels and GH hyporesponsiveness to different GH stimulation tests. Since there is a high prevalence of obesity in FM, and obesity itself is characterized by hyposomatotropism, the aim of this study was to assess IGF-1 levels and GH responsiveness in sixteen severely obese women suffering from FM, who, subdivided into two subgroups on the basis of their age-dependent IGF-1 values (> or <−2 SDS), underwent the combined GHRH plus arginine test. Four out of 16 obese women with FM (25%) had low IGF-1 SDS values, 2 cases of this subgroup (12.5%) failing also to normally respond to the test. Among patients with normal GH responses, 4 showed a delayed GH peak. The subgroup with low IGF-1 SDS values had higher BMI than that with normal IGF-1 SDS. GH peak and area under the curve were not correlated with CRP, ESR, or tender point score, while significant correlations were found with fat-free mass and fat mass. In conclusion, this study shows the existence of a high prevalence of GH-IGF-1 dysfunction in patients with both FM and obesity, presumably as a consequence of the obese rather than fibromyalgic condition

Vías para la integración de tecnologías de tratamiento de residuos agropecuarios y producción de biocombustibles

La utilización de los desechos agropecuarios en la producción de biocombustibles podría reducir la dependencia de las fuentes convencionales de energía permitiendo además obtener beneficios económicos y ambientales. Los objetivos de este trabajo son: evaluar el efecto de diferentes sustratos sobre la producción de biogás, analizar la factibilidad de integrar tecnologías de producción de biocombustibles, y determinar la aptitud del efluente como biofertilizante. Se realizaron ensayos de producción de biogás utilizando diferentes sustratos (bosta fresca, silo de maíz y glicerina). Se midieron variables físico-químicas, producción diaria y total de biogás. La mayor producción se observó en el tratamiento con elevado porcentaje de silo de maíz (186 L/kgSV). En el tratamiento con glicerina la elevada producción inicial de biogás (2500ml/día) fue inhibida por la acidificación del medio (pH:5,5). Los valores de nutrientes y iones mayoritarios en el efluente sugieren que de corregirse la elevada conductividad eléctrica (>9,2dS/m) podría utilizarse como biofertilizante.Agricultural tailing might be used in biofuels production in order to reduce the dependence of conventional sources of energy, allowing to obtain in addition, economic and environmental benefits. The aims of this work are: to evaluate the effect of different substrates on the production of biogas, to analyze the feasibility of integrating technologies of biofuels production, and to determine the aptitude of the effluent as biofertilizer. Production tests of biogas with different substrates (fresh muck, corn silage and glycerine) were performed. Physico-chemical variables, daily and total biogas production were meassured. Major production of biogas was observed in treatment with high percentage of corn silage (186L/kgVS). In glycerine´s treatment, high initial production of biogas (2500ml/day) was inhibited due to acidification of the environment (pH:5,5). Nutrients and majority ions concentrations in the effluent suggest that if the high electrical conductivity is corrected (>9,2dS/m) it can be used as biofertilizer.Asociación Argentina de Energías Renovables y Medio Ambiente (ASADES

Psychological treatments and psychotherapies in the neurorehabilitation of pain. Evidences and recommendations from the italian consensus conference on pain in neurorehabilitation

BACKGROUND: It is increasingly recognized that treating pain is crucial for effective care within neurological rehabilitation in the setting of the neurological rehabilitation. The Italian Consensus Conference on Pain in Neurorehabilitation was constituted with the purpose identifying best practices for us in this context. Along with drug therapies and physical interventions, psychological treatments have been proven to be some of the most valuable tools that can be used within a multidisciplinary approach for fostering a reduction in pain intensity. However, there is a need to elucidate what forms of psychotherapy could be effectively matched with the specific pathologies that are typically addressed by neurorehabilitation teams. OBJECTIVES: To extensively assess the available evidence which supports the use of psychological therapies for pain reduction in neurological diseases. METHODS: A systematic review of the studies evaluating the effect of psychotherapies on pain intensity in neurological disorders was performed through an electronic search using PUBMED, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Based on the level of evidence of the included studies, recommendations were outlined separately for the different conditions. RESULTS: The literature search yielded 2352 results and the final database included 400 articles. The overall strength of the recommendations was medium/low. The different forms of psychological interventions, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, cognitive or behavioral techniques, Mindfulness, hypnosis, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Brief Interpersonal Therapy, virtual reality interventions, various forms of biofeedback and mirror therapy were found to be effective for pain reduction in pathologies such as musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Central Post-Stroke pain, Phantom Limb Pain, pain secondary to Spinal Cord Injury, multiple sclerosis and other debilitating syndromes, diabetic neuropathy, Medically Unexplained Symptoms, migraine and headache. CONCLUSIONS: Psychological interventions and psychotherapies are safe and effective treatments that can be used within an integrated approach for patients undergoing neurological rehabilitation for pain. The different interventions can be specifically selected depending on the disease being treated. A table of evidence and recommendations from the Italian Consensus Conference on Pain in Neurorehabilitation is also provided in the final part of the pape
