Manejo orgânico de pastagens com uso de termopotássio e termofosfato na região do Cerrado

The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of the thermopotassium and thermophosphate agrominerals, as sources of P and K, in an organic pasture consortium of 'Marandu' Urochloa brizantha + Stylosanthes spp. in the Brazilian Cerrado. The organic management was compared with conventional farming using chemical fertilizers, during three years, in two adjacent experiments, one with and the other without previous growth of green manure (Crotalaria juncea). The management treatments were: conventional, with the application of 200 kg ha-1 potassium chloride, 260 kg ha-1 triple superphosphate, and 217 kg ha-1 urea; organic, with the application of 1.0 Mg ha-1 thermophosphate, 2.0 Mg ha-1 termopotassium, and 7.0 Mg ha-1 chicken manure; and control, without fertilizers. Soil fertility, dry mass production, and legume content in the pasture were evaluated. The experiment with green manure resulted in a significant increase in the soil-extractable contents of P and K and in pasture productivity. In the organic treatment, due to the slow release of agromineral nutrients, long-term effects are observed on the soil-extractable contents of P and K.O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho dos agrominerais termopotássio e termofosfato, como fontes de P e K, em consórcio de pastagem orgânica de Urochloa brizantha 'Marandu' + Stylosanthes spp. no Cerrado brasileiro. O manejo orgânico foi comparado ao convencional com uso de fertilizantes químicos, durante três anos, em dois experimentos adjacentes, um com e outro sem cultivo prévio de adubo verde (Crotalaria juncea). Os tratamentos de manejo foram: convencional, com aplicação de 200 kg ha-1 de cloreto de potássio, 260 kg ha-1 de superfosfato triplo e 217 kg ha-1 de ureia; orgânico, com aplicação de 1,0 Mg ha-1 termopotássio, 2,0 Mg ha-1 termofosfato e 7,0 Mg ha-1 cama de frango; e controle, sem adubação. Foram avaliadas fertilidade do solo, produção de matéria seca e contribuição da leguminosa na pastagem. O experimento com adubação verde proporcionou aumento significativo nos teores de P e K extraíveis do solo e na produtividade da pastagem. No tratamento orgânico, devido à liberação lenta dos nutrientes dos agrominerais, são observados efeitos de longo prazo nos teores extraíveis de P e K do solo

Ansiedade em trabalhadores da atenção primária à saúde no contexto da pandemia da Covid-19

Unfavorable working conditions and stress experienced in facing COVID-19 caused changes in anxiety levels among health workers. Objetivou-se avaliar os níveis de ansiedade dos trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde do município de Santa Cecília - Paraíba. For this, a cross-sectional, census, exploratory-descriptive study with a quantitative approach was conducted, composed of 53 workers from Primary Health Care. The treatment of the research data involved its tabulation, consolidation and organization in spreadsheets of the software Excel - 2007. The variables were measured in nominal, ordinal, and interval scales. The construction of simple frequency tables and descriptive measures enabled the inferential multivariate statistical analysis, using the R-Studio software. It was observed that 45 (84.9%) of these workers are female and the most expressive symptom of anxiety was tiredness, pointed out by 47 (88.7%) of these professionals. In addition, 21 (39.6%) of participants pointed to excessive demand as the most relevant factor for the onset of anxiety. When analyzing the level of anxiety - trait, it was observed that 38 (72%) of workers had high anxiety and, in relation to anxiety - state, it was found that 40 (76%) had high anxiety. Therefore, it was evidenced expressive manifestations of anxiety symptoms and the predominance of high level of anxiety - trait and anxiety - state among the population studied during the pandemic period caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.Condições de trabalho desfavoráveis e estresse vivenciados no enfrentamento à COVID-19 provocaram alterações nos níveis de ansiedade entre os trabalhadores de saúde. Objetivou-se avaliar os níveis de ansiedade dos trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde do município de Santa Cecília – Paraíba. Para isso, realizou-se um estudo transversal, censitário, de caráter exploratório-descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa, composto pelos 53 trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde. O tratamento dos dados da pesquisa envolveu a sua devida tabulação, consolidação e organização em planilhas do programa software Excel – 2007. As variáveis foram mensuradas nos níveis das escalas nominal, ordinal e intervalar. A construção de tabelas de frequências simples e medidas descritivas possibilitou a análise estatística inferencial multivariada, com uso do software R-Studio. Observou-se que 45 (84,9%) destes trabalhadores são do sexo feminino e o sintoma mais expressivo de ansiedade foi o cansaço, apontado por 47 (88,7%) destes profissionais. Além disso, 21 (39,6%) dos participantes apontaram a demanda excessiva como o fator de maior relevância para o aparecimento de ansiedade. Ao se analisar o nível de ansiedade – traço, observou-se que 38 (72%) dos trabalhadores apresentaram alta ansiedade e, em relação à ansiedade – estado, verificou-se que 40 (76%) apresentaram alta ansiedade. Portanto, evidenciou-se manifestações expressivas de sintomas de ansiedade e a predominância do alto nível de ansiedade – traço e de ansiedade – estado entre a população estudada durante o período pandêmico causado pelo coronavírus SARS-CoV-2

Anxiolytic Effect of Citrus aurantium

The objective of this study was to investigate the anxiolytic effects of the essential oil (EO) of Citrus aurantium L. in patients experiencing crack withdrawal. This was developed with internal users in therapeutic communities in Paraíba, Brazil. The test population consisted of 51 volunteers, subdivided into three groups. To elicit anxiety, the Simulated Public Speaking (SPS) method was used. Physiological measures were assessed at specific phases during the experiment using appropriate equipment. Psychological measures of anxiety were assessed using the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory (IDATE) and the Analog Smoke Scale (HAS). EO was administered by nebulization. The experiment was developed in individual sessions and consolidated to four phases. The results demonstrated that the test subjects in the groups that were given the EO maintained controlled anxiety levels during SPS, when compared to the Control Group (no treatment). Subjects who used the EO also maintained levels of “discomfort” and “cognitive impairment” during SPS. It was concluded that individuals who are experiencing internal crack cocaine withdrawal present high anxiety traits and that nebulization of the EO of Citrus aurantium L. provided an acute anxiolytic effect in crack cocaine users exposed to SPS

Effects of the single supplementation and multiple doses of Passiflora incarnata L. on human anxiety: A Clinical Trial, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized

Object: This study aimed to investigate the effects of Passiflora incarnata L. on anxiety in humans. Method: The individuals were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: Placebo or experimental, n =30, single dose, as well as Placebo or Experimental, n =15, multiple dose.  The experimental human anxiety was induced by simulated public speaking test in the following phases: Basal (B), stressful (A), speech 1 (S1), speech 2 (S2) and Final (F). We evaluated the Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), and Diastolic (DBP), Heart Rate (HR), Electrical Conductance of Skin and extremities temperature (ET) and filled The state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI S e T). Results: During the single dose, the HR was reduced at the end of the speech (86±2,0 to 74±3,0 bpm) the experimental group compared to the placebo group (p<0,05); the STAI-S did not change. In the delineation of multiple doses, SBP was reduced, in mmHg, in the experimental group compared to the placebo group during all phases. Experimental: 106±1,0 (B), 111±1,0 (A), 121±2,0 (S1), 115±3 (S2), 104±2,0 (F) e Placebo: 121±3,0; 127±3,0; 130±3,0; 130±4,5; 117±3,0 (p<0,05). Conclusions: It is suggested that supplementation using Passiflora incarnata L. Capsules (500 mg) decreased cardiovascular signals both in single and in multiple doses, associated with the stress of public speaking
