Radiotherapy, cancer and some anatomical structures related with the pelvic floor: an evaluation of the scientific literature

Radiotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy X-rays or other types of ionizing radiation to try to kill the cancer cells in various organs/tissues. PubMed is a database used as a tool in various publications. The aim of this work was to evaluate, in the PubMed, the number of publications (NP) in radiotherapy and cancer in various organs related to the pelvic floor as well as brachytherapy. The searches were performed (August 2008) in the PubMed (http://www.pubmed.com) using the words: (i) radiotherapy (RT) or cancer (CA), (ii) RT and CA, (iii) RT and CA and prostate, RT and CA and testis, RT and CA and breast, RT and CA and kidneys, RT and CA and vulva, RT and CA and vagina, RT and CA and penis, RT and CA and uterus, RT and CA and ovary, RT and CA and bladder, and RT and CA and urethra. A search using brachytherapy was also performed. The NP in each subject was determined and was 2178635 to CA and about 9% of them are related with RT. The NP in RT and CA and breast or prostate is bigger than for the other organs, whereas brachytherapy is mainly cited in the studies about CA of prostate, bladder and breast. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate the importance of radiation therapy studies in the cancer of several organs. This information is crucial in understanding the field and demonstrates areas of significant progress or existing gaps of research in radiotherapy treatment of various cancers of the pelvis. Furthermore, it could significantly aid the interprofessional team in the determination of actions related to the treatment of patients that are undertaking radiotherapy, due to the possible complications of this modality of treatment

Extensão de recomendação da cultivar de arroz de terras altas "BRS Soberana" para Goiás.

A BRS Soberana originou-se de um cruzamento triplo realizado pela Embrapa Arroz e Feijão, em 1990, envolvendo os genitores Cuiabana, CNAx 1235-8-3 e CNA 6673. A fim de compensar a redução da disponibilidade de sementes da BRS Primavera, a Embrapa Arroz e Feijão lançou uma nova cultivar de padrão próximo ao dela, a BRS Soberana, que se mostrara, inicialmente, melhor adaptada ao Estado do Mato Grosso.bitstream/CNPAF/21541/1/comt_73.pd

BRSMT Vencedora: cultivar semiprecoce de arroz de terras altas.

A BRSMT Vencedora é uma cultivar de produtividade similar à das principais variedades em cultivo nas terras altas, porém, apresenta, em relação a cada uma delas, vantagens importantes que a transformam em uma opção de cultivo relevante. Esta cultivar está sendo recomendada para plantio nos Estados de Goiás, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Roraima e Pará.bitstream/CNPAF/21533/1/comt_72.pd
