Avaliação de linhagens de feijão-caupi no Município de Mazagão, Estado do Amapá.

No Estado do Amapá o cultivo pelo feijão-caupi começa a ter grande aceitação, principalmente em função de sua excelente adaptação, baixo custo de produção e boa aceitação comercial. Um dos objetivos dos experimentos na região é desenvolver cultivares de porte ereto e semi-ereto adequadas ao cultivo totalmente mecanizado. Assim, em Latossolo Amarelo, em clima do tipo Ami, usando-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições e adubação de 80 kg ha-1 (superfosfato triplo) e 50 kg ha-1 (cloreto de potássio), foram avaliadas vinte linhagens de feijão-caupi. A análise de variância mostrou diferença significativa pelo teste de Tukey (p< 0,05) para todas as características avaliadas. Os melhores desempenhos produtivos foram das linhagens MNC03-737F-5-1 com 1.425,7 kg ha-1, seguida pelos genótipos MNC03-737F-5-10 e MNC03-737F-5-9, com 1.293,9 kg ha-1 e 1.202,6 kg ha-1, respectivamente. Estes materiais estão inseridos na subclasse comercial branco. O início de floração teve média experimental em 45,6 dias, enquanto o comprimento de vagem foi de 18,2 cm. As linhagens mostraram-se tolerantes ao ataque de doenças e pragas.CONAC 2012. Disponível em: http://www.conac2012.org/resumos/pdf/133a.pdf. Acesso em: 22 jul. 2013

Avaliação de linhagens de feijão-caupi no Amapá.

A demanda por novas cultivares de feijão-caupi tem sido comum no meio rural do Amapá. Cabe destacar que os genótipos de porte prostrado apresentam maior vigor e se adaptam melhor em ambientes desfavoráveis, relativamente às cultivares de porte ereto. Nesse sentido o experimento teve objetivo de avaliar vinte linhagens de porte prostrado e semi-prostrado na região. Em Latossolo Amarelo, clima do tipo Ami, usou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso e quatro repetições, adubação de 80 kg ha-1 (superfosfato triplo) e 50 kg ha-1 (cloreto de potássio). A semeadura manual ocorreu em fileiras espaçadas de 0,80 m e área útil de 8 m². A análise de variância mostrou diferença significativa pelo teste de Tukey (p< 0,05). A melhor produtividade de 1.251,9 kg ha-1, foi da cultivar BRS-Pajeú. Destacaram-se também MNC03-736F-6, BRS Xiquexique, MNC02-701F-2, MNC03-761F-1, MNC02-677F-5, Pingo de Ouro-1-2, MNC02-675F-9-5 e BRS Gurgéia. A linhagem MNC01-649F-1-3 alcançou menor período de floração, enquanto o maior comprimento de vagem foi do genótipo MNC02-677F-2.CONAC 2012.

After-effects of thixotropic conditionings on operational chest wall and compartmental volumes of patients with Parkinson’s disease

Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) present respiratory dysfunctions, mainly due to decreased chest wall expansion, which worsens with the course of the disease. These findings contribute to the restrictive respiratory pattern and the reduction in chest wall volume. According to literature, inspiratory muscle thixotropic conditioning maneuvers may improve lung volumes in these patients. The study aimed to determine the after-effects of respiratory muscle thixotropic maneuvers on breathing patterns and chest wall volumes of PD. A crossover study was performed with twelve patients with PD (8 males; mean age 63.9±8.8 years, FVC%pred 89.7±13.9, FEV1%pred 91.2±15, FEV1/FVC%pred 83.7±5.7). Chest wall volumes were assessed using OEP during thixotropic maneuvers. Increases in EIVCW (mean of 126mL, p = 0.01) and EEVCW (mean of 150mL, p = 0.005) were observed after DITLC (deep inspiration from total lung capacity) due to increases in pulmonary (RCp) and abdominal (RCa) ribcage compartments. Changes in ICoTLC (inspiratory contraction from TLC) led to significant EIVCW (mean of 224mL, p = 0.001) and EEVCW (mean of 229mL, p = 0.02) increases that were mainly observed in the RCp. No significant changes were found when performing DERV (deep expiration from residual volume) and ICoRV (Inspiratory contraction from RV). Positive correlations were also observed between the degree of inspiratory contraction during ICoTLC and EEVRCp (rho = 0.613, p = 0.03) and EIVRCp (rho = 0.697, p = 0.01) changes. Thixotropy conditioning of inspiratory muscles at an inflated chest wall volume increases EIVCW and EEVCW in the ten subsequent breaths in PD patients. These maneuvers are easy to perform, free of equipment, low-cost, and may help patients improve chest wall volumes during rehabilitation

Healthy lifestyle behaviors and the periodicity of mammography screening in brazilian women

INTRODUCTION: Certain behaviors have been associated with health promotion, including mammography screening, in women worldwide. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether there is an association between the periodicity of mammography screening and healthy lifestyle behaviors in Brazilian women employed at a public university in Bahia, Brazil. METHODS: A total of 635 women of 50–69 years of age at the time of the interview, from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health cohort who were resident in Bahia, participated in the study. Data were collected using a multidimensional questionnaire that included questions on participants’ sociodemographic characteristics and health-related behaviors (smoking, alcohol consumption, leisure-time physical activity and diet) and another questionnaire that dealt with risk factors and breast cancer screening. Measures of association were calculated using simple and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: The practice of physical activity, not smoking, moderate alcohol consumption and a healthy diet were the health behaviors most adopted by the women who had last had a mammogram ⩽2 years previously (which is in line with the interval recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health). A statistically significant association was found between a lapse of ⩾3 years since last undergoing mammography screening and excessive alcohol consumption, while a borderline association was found between the same screening interval and leisure-time physical inactivity. CONCLUSION: There was an association between lifestyle risk behaviors and a longer time interval between mammography screenings. The present results contribute to the debate on the use of mammography, lifestyle behaviors and health promotion among women
