PRIMEIRO REGISTRO DA TUBERCULOSE BOVINA NO ESTADO DO ACRE, BRASIL

Bovine tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis. It has great health and economic relevance for dairy herds, in addition to being a zoonosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to check the frequency of bovine tuberculosis in dairy herds in the microregion of Rio Branco, Acre. For diagnosis, the tuberculin skin test was used through the comparative technique. Of 527 cattle subjected to testing, one animal (0.2%) tested positive for the reagent. According to the results of this preliminary study, which reports the first record of bovine tuberculosis in Acre, it can be seen that the frequency of this disease in the microregion of Rio Branco indicates a low spread of M. bovis in dairy herds. This condition can assist with elimination of possible outbreaks without incurring high costs to producers and, subsequently, help Acre achieve a tuberculosis-free status through the process of eradication.A tuberculose bovina é uma doença infectocontagiosa ocasionada pelo Mycobacterium bovis, a qual possui grande relevância sanitária e econômica para rebanhos leiteiros, além de ser uma zoonose. Objetivou-se verificar a freqüência da tuberculose bovina em rebanhos leiteiros da microrregião de Rio Branco, Acre. Para o diagnóstico, foi utilizado o teste tuberculínico pela técnica comparativa. Dos 527 bovinos submetidos ao teste, um animal (0,2%) foi reagente positivo. Conforme os resultados deste estudo preliminar, que se configura o primeiro registro da tuberculose bovina no Acre, observa-se que a frequência da enfermidade na microrregião de Rio Branco denota uma baixa propagação do M. bovis nos rebanhos leiteiros. Esta condição é favorável para eliminar possíveis focos sem elevados custos ao produtor e, posteriormente, alcançar o status de estado livre pelo processo de erradicação

Amphibians and reptiles from a protected area in western Brazilian Amazonia (Reserva Extrativista do Baixo Juruá)

Sampling gaps across the logistically challenging and extremely biodiverse Amazonia largely hamper our understanding of broad-scale amphibian and reptile diversity patterns in this ecosystem. The Juruá River basin, a southwestern tributary of the Amazon River, is one of these undersampled areas, with only punctual information documented for these vertebrates that are spatially or temporally biased. This is especially the case for the lower-middle courses of the Juruá River, which also has comparatively less protected areas than its upper course. In order to fill some biodiversity knowledge gaps associated with amphibians and reptiles in this river basin, we combined results of our field expeditions carried out in 1992, 2005-2007, and 2018 to the Reserva Extrativista (Extractive Reserve) do Baixo Juruá, a Brazilian protected area in the right bank of the lower Juruá River. Amphibians and reptiles were sampled using four complementary methods: active surveys, pitfall traps, funnel traps, and trammel nets. We identified species or updated their taxonomic status with a reanalysis of the external morphology of the preserved material in the light of novel taxonomic literature (more than 1,500 specimens) and employment of DNA barcoding analyses for some newly collected specimens with contentious taxonomic status. Our combined sampling evidenced 149 species of amphibians and reptiles occurring in this protected area (72 amphibians, 68 squamates, six chelonians, and three crocodilians). Recorded species highlight the value of the lower Juruá River region as harboring quite diverse assemblages for these vertebrates, with species typical of the western and southwestern Amazonia sub-regions. Remarkable species records are presented, as well as accounts on species with lower taxonomic resolution. Furthermore, we discuss the biogeographic affinities of recorded assemblages based on the species geographic range and preferred habitats, and the value of this protected area to preserve the regional biological diversity

Puerpério na atenção primária: Foco no aleitamento materno e depressão pós-parto / Puerperum in primary care: Focus on breastfeeding and postpartum depression

O puerpério é uma das áreas prioritárias para atuação da Saúde da Família, englobando o puerpério imediato, tardio e remoto. Atualmente, a terceira maior causa de morbidade do mundo é a depressão, e as gestantes e puérperas são um grupo de alto risco de desenvolver este quadro. Este estudo visou elucidar a área de pesquisa de depressão pós-parto e aleitamento materno, evidenciando a construção do conhecimento com base nas políticas públicas nacionais. Foi realizado levantamento bibliográfico com os descritores associados “aleitamento materno”, “depressão pós-parto” e “puerpério pós-parto”, sendo analisadas 101 publicações. Quando abordado fator de proteção contra o risco de desenvolvimento de depressão pós-parto, 93% dos artigos evidenciaram significância estatística do aleitamento materno exclusivo como fator de proteção. A maioria dos artigos afirmam que mulheres jovens, de minoria étnicas, e solteiras possuem maiores chances de desenvolvimento de depressão pós-parto assim como interrupção do aleitamento exclusivo em relação as mulheres em união estável. Dessa forma, mostra-se necessário o aprofundamento das discussões acerca do cuidado na atenção primária e no período puerperal, evidenciando as relações existentes entre o aleitamento materno e a depressão pós-parto

A inclusão escolar para pacientes com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo: School inclusion for patients with intellectual disability or cognitive delay

A educação inclusiva é fundamental para que crianças e adolescentes vivenciem ideias e experiências de ensino aprendizagem significativa, desenvolvam a autonomia e conquistem direitos de cidadania. No entanto, existem obstáculos que precisam ser compreendidos e superados e estratégias que podem ser adotadas para promover a inclusão de crianças com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo. Diante disso, este estudo tem como objetivo compreender o processo de inclusão escolar de alunos com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo. Para isso, trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, desenvolvida a partir da seleção de estudos nas bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed e BVS/Medline a partir do uso de descritores DeCS/MeSH e aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Após a análise e interpretação dos dados, concluiu-se que, no processo de inclusão de alunos com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo no ambiente escolar, a educação inclusiva interfere positivamente na qualidade de vida desses. Para isso, destacam-se uma série de estratégias relevantes, tais como: envolvimento de escola como um todo, dos professores e da família; compreender a deficiência; valorizar os interesses e habilidades dos alunos com deficiência; estimular a autodeterminação desses e a convivência entre pessoas deficientes e não deficientes; promover a socialização por meio de jogos; utilizar atividades adaptadas; e cuidar da formação inicial e continuada dos professores, contemplando ideias sobre educação inclusiva

ATLANTIC-PRIMATES: a dataset of communities and occurrences of primates in the Atlantic Forests of South America

Primates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, and emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species in the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 of them endemic. We compiled a dataset of 5,472 georeferenced locations of 26 native and 1 introduced primate species, as hybrids in the genera Callithrix and Alouatta. The dataset includes 700 primate communities, 8,121 single species occurrences and 714 estimates of primate population sizes, covering most natural forest types of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina and some other biomes. On average, primate communities of the Atlantic Forest harbor 2 ± 1 species (range = 1–6). However, about 40% of primate communities contain only one species. Alouatta guariba (N = 2,188 records) and Sapajus nigritus (N = 1,127) were the species with the most records. Callicebus barbarabrownae (N = 35), Leontopithecus caissara (N = 38), and Sapajus libidinosus (N = 41) were the species with the least records. Recorded primate densities varied from 0.004 individuals/km 2 (Alouatta guariba at Fragmento do Bugre, Paraná, Brazil) to 400 individuals/km 2 (Alouatta caraya in Santiago, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Our dataset reflects disparity between the numerous primate census conducted in the Atlantic Forest, in contrast to the scarcity of estimates of population sizes and densities. With these data, researchers can develop different macroecological and regional level studies, focusing on communities, populations, species co-occurrence and distribution patterns. Moreover, the data can also be used to assess the consequences of fragmentation, defaunation, and disease outbreaks on different ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, species invasion or extinction, and community dynamics.

We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using the data. © 2018 by the The Authors. Ecology © 2018 The Ecological Society of Americ

Doses de N, P e K na cultura do eucalipto em solo originalmente sob Cerrado

Many eucalyptus plantations in Brazil are in areas of soil with low fertility, with little phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) availability and with low organic matter (OM) content, resulting in a low supply of nutrients to plants, directly reflected in reduced yield. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the effects of nitrogen (N), P and K fertilization on the growth of eucalyptus plants, with the aim of achieving nutritional balance and high yield. The experiment was conducted on Renascença Farm, an agricultural property administered by Cargill Agrícola S.A., located in the city of Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with ten treatments and five replicates. The treatments were composed of doses of N (0, 70, 105 and 140 kg ha-1), doses of P (0,40, 70 and 100 kg ha-1 of P2O5) and doses of K (0, 90, 135 and 180 kg ha-1 of K2O). The doses of N and K were applied at planting and as top dressing, and the doses of P were applied only at planting. The diameter at breast height (DBH), plant height and timber volume with bark were assessed, and the concentrations of macronutrients in the leaves were determined. DBH and volume were positively affected by N fertilization, and eucalyptus growth in DBH, height and volume increased with P and K fertilization. The maximum yield of eucalyptus at 21 months of age was obtained with the application of 71 kg ha-1 of N, 100 kg ha-1 of P2O5 and 125 kg ha-1 of K2O. The concentrations of macronutrients were adequate even in the absence of the application of N, P and K. With increasing doses of K, there was na increase in leaf concentrations of K and a decrease in those of calcium and magnesium.Grande parte do plantio da cultura do eucalipto no Brasil encontra-se em área de solo de baixa fertilidade, com pouca disponibilidade de fósforo (P) e potássio (K), e baixo teor de matéria orgânica (M.O.), o que implica em baixo fornecimento de nutrientes à planta, refletindo diretamente na redução da produtividade. Neste sentido, objetivou-se avaliar a adubação nitrogenada, fosfatada e potássica no crescimento das plantas de eucalipto visando equilíbrio nutricional e alta produtividade. O experimento foi executado na Fazenda Renascença, fundo agrícola administrado pela Cargill Agrícola S/A, localizado no município de Três Lagoas/MS. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados com dez tratamentos e cinco repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por doses de nitrogênio (N) (0, 70, 105 e 140 kg ha-1), doses de P (0, 40, 70 e 100 kg ha-1 de P2O5) e doses de K (0, 90, 135 e 180 kg ha-1 de K2O). As doses de N e K foram aplicadas no plantio e em cobertura e as doses de P somente no plantio. Foram avaliados: o diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP), a altura de plantas, o volume de madeira com casca e determinados as concentrações de macronutrientes nas folhas. O DAP e o volume foram influenciados positivamente pela fertilização nitrogenada, já o crescimento do eucalipto em DAP, a altura e o volume aumentaram com a adubação fosfatada e potássica. A máxima produtividade do eucalipto aos 21 meses de idade foi obtida com aplicação de 71 kg ha-1 de N, 100 kg ha-1 de P2O5 e 125 kg ha-1 de K2O. As concentrações dos macronutrientes estiveram adequadas mesmo na ausência da aplicação de N, P e K. Com o aumento das doses de K houve incremento das concentrações foliares de K e diminuição das de cálcio e magnésio.

However, few scientific research studies on its medicinal properties have been reported. Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer potential of aqueous extract (AE), 40% hydroalcoholic extracts (40HA) and 70% (70HA) from R. maritima in experimental models and to identify its phytochemical compounds. Methods: The chemical composition of AE, 40HA and 70HA was assessed by HPLC-DAD and ESI-IT-MS/MS . In vitro activity was determined on cultured tumor cell, NCI-H385N (Broncho-alveolar carcinoma), OVCAR- 8 (Ovarian carcinoma) and PC-3 M (prostate carcinoma) by the MTT assay, and the in vivo antitumor activity was assessed in Sarcoma 180-bearing mice. Toxicological parameters were also evaluated as well as the humoral immune response. Results: Among the aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts of R. maritima , only 40HA showed in vitro bi- ological effect potential, presenting IC 50 values of 27.08, 46.62 and > 50 μg/ml for OVCAR-8, NCI-H385M and PC-3 M cells lines, respectively. Regarding chemical composition, a mixture of isovitexin-2 - O - β-D- glucopyranoside, vitexin-2 - O - β-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7- O -glucuronide and 1- O -(E)-caffeoyl- β-D- glucose were identified as the major phytochemical compounds of the extracts. In the in vivo study, the tumor inhibition rates were 57.16–62.57% at doses of 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively, and the tu- mor morphology presented increasing numbers of apoptotic cells. Additionally, 40HA also demonstrated significantly increased of OVA-specific total Ig. Conclusions: 40HA exhibited in vitro and in vivo anticancer properties without substantial toxicity that could be associated with its immunostimulating properties
