European association for the study of obesity position statement on the global COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020. The European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO), as a scientific and medical society dedicated to the promotion of health and well-being, is greatly concerned about this global health challenge and its significant impacts on individuals, families, communities, health systems, nations, and wider society

Influência do uso de fluoxetina sobre o tempo de corrida em esteira ergométrica em ratos não treinados Efecto de la fluoxetina sobre el tiempo de ejecución en una cinta en ratas no entrenadas Influence of using fluoxetine on run-time in treadmill in rats un trained

Trabalhos de diferentes autores constataram que, um aumento na concentração de serotonina (5-HT) no cérebro, durante exercício físico intenso e prolongado, está diretamente relacionado a um prejuízo na função do Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC), com correspondente desenvolvimento da fadiga e consequente diminuição do desempenho. No presente trabalho, 10 ratos Wistar foram submetidos a sessões de corrida até o esgotamento físico em esteira rolante. Os protocolos experimentais foram divididos em quatro fases: Fase 1 - avaliação do tempo médio de corrida dos animais até o esgotamento físico; Fase 2 - avaliação do tempo médio de corrida dos animais até o esgotamento físico, sob tratamento com fluoxetina; Fase 3 - "washout" de sete dias; Fase 4 - "washout" de 14 dias. Este estudo sugere que a administração crônica de fluoxetina aumenta substancialmente o tempo médio de corrida até o esgotamento físico em ratos submetidos a exercício em esteira rolante.<br>Las obras de diferentes autores encontraron que un aumento en la concentración de la serotonina (5-HT) en el cerebro durante el ejercicio intenso y prolongado está directamente relacionado con deterioro de la función del Sistema Nervioso Central (SNC), con el correspondiente desarrollo de la fatiga y su consecuente reducción en el rendimiento. En este estudio, 10 ratas Wistar fueron sometidas a la ejecución de sesiones en una cinta hasta el agotamiento físico. Los protocolos experimentales fueron divididos en cuatro fases: Fase 1 - Evaluación de la carrera media de los animales al agotamiento físico, la Fase 2 - Evaluación de la carrera media de los animales al agotamiento físico, están en tratamiento con fluoxetina, la Fase 3 - "lavado "de siete días; Fase 4 -" lavado "de 14 días. Este estudio sugiere que la administración crónica de fluoxetina incrementa sustancialmente la tarifa media del agotamiento físico en ratas sometidas a ejercicio en una caminadora.<br>Works of different authors have been shown that an increase in the concentration of serotonin (5-HT) in the brain during intense and long-term physical exercise, is directly associated with a harm in the function of the Central Nervous System (CNS), with corresponding development of the fatigue and consequence decrease of the performance. In the present work, 10 rats Wistar were submitted to run-sessions until the exhaustion in treadmill. The experimental protocols were splited in 4 phases: Phase 1: evaluation of the range run-time of the animals until the physical exhaustion. Phase 2: evaluation of the range run-time of the animals until the physical exhaustion on treatment with fluoxetine. Phase 3: washout seven days. Phase 4 washout 14 days. The present study suggest that chronic administration of fluoxetine increase substantially the run-time until the physical exhaustion in rats submitted to exercises in treadmill

The Balloon Array for RBSP Relativistic Electron Losses (BARREL)

BARREL is a multiple-balloon investigation designed to study electron losses from Earth’s Radiation Belts. Selected as a NASA Living with a Star Mission of Opportunity, BARREL augments the Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission by providing measurements of relativistic electron precipitation with a pair of Antarctic balloon campaigns that will be conducted during the Austral summers (January-February) of 2013 and 2014. During each campaign, a total of 20 small (∼20 kg) stratospheric balloons will be successively launched to maintain an array of ∼5 payloads spread across ∼6 hours of magnetic local time in the region that magnetically maps to the radiation belts. Each balloon carries an X-ray spectrometer to measure the bremsstrahlung X-rays produced by precipitating relativistic electrons as they collide with neutrals in the atmosphere, and a DC magnetometer to measure ULF-timescale variations of the magnetic field. BARREL will provide the first balloon measurements of relativistic electron precipitation while comprehensive in situ measurements of both plasma waves and energetic particles are available, and will characterize the spatial scale of precipitation at relativistic energies. All data and analysis software will be made freely available to the scientific community
