Evaluation of intoxication caused by post-emerging herbicides in cassava culture in two times of application

This study aimed to evaluate the selectivity of post-emergent herbicides in cassava in two application times. The experiments were carried out in a greenhouse at the Federal University of Tocantins - UFT, Campus Gurupi. The experimental designed was completely randomized arranged in a 5x2 factorial scheme, composed by the combination of 5 herbicide molecules with different mechanisms of action (mesotrione, carfentrazone-ethyl, chlorimuron-ethyl, nicosulfuron and imazethapyr) applied in two seasons, 30 and 45 days after emergence (DAE), with four repetitions. The cultivar used was “Cacau melhorada”. The visual intoxication of the culture was evaluated. The results obtained were subjected to analysis of variance, by the F test, with the averages analyzed statistically by the LSD mean test, at 5% probability. The treatments based on mesotrione, and chlorimuron-ethyl were not toxic to the culture, promoting results similar to those observed for control. There were differences in the level of tolerance to the studied herbicides, between the times of application of the herbicides

Estudos genéticos sobre a Fibrose Cística no Brasil: uma revisão sistemática

Introdução: a Fibrose Cística (FC) é a doença genética mais comum e letal em caucasianos. O Brasil apresenta grande diversidade étnica entre as cinco regiões geográficas, o que leva a uma incidência variável da FC entre os diferentes Estados. Objetivo: verificar a distribuição dos estudos acerca do perfil de mutações FC em diferentes regiões do Brasil. Metodologia: foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura nas bases de dados (PubMed, LILACS, SciELO e Capes), nos idiomas português e inglês de 1990 a 2014. Resultados: após a aplicação dos critérios de seleção, restaram 60 artigos elegíveis para análise. Foi observado um desequilíbrio de distribuição dos estudos acerca da FC nas cinco regiões do Brasil. As regiões Sudeste e Sul foram as que mais apresentaram trabalhos relacionados ao estudo de mutações genéticas e da doença. Conclusão: alto grau de miscigenação da população brasileira e a grande variabilidade de mutações já descritas impõe o conhecimento do perfil mutacional de cada região do país, tendo em vista a heterogeneidade clínica apresentada pelos pacientes.

URBANTB group: Patrícia Soares (Representative of the consortium), Mário Carreira, Sofia Pereira, Catarina Alves, Filipe Alves, Ana Rodrigues, Ana Moreira, Márcia Cardoso, Sandra Mota, Ana Gomes, Liliana Ferreira, Marta Lopes, Isabel Correia, Juan Rachadell, Maria Gameiro, Ângela Dias, Manuel Pereira, Jorge Gonçalves, Maria Gonçalves, Adriana Taveira, Celene Neves, Lucinda Silva, Maria Mendes, Maria Teixeira, Maria Pereira, Milena Piedade, Antónia Teixeira & Carlos Carvalho.Background: Diagnosis delay contributes to increased tuberculosis (TB) transmission and morbimortality. TB incidence has been decreasing in Portugal, but median patient delay (PD) has risen. Symptom valorisation may determine PD by influencing help-seeking behaviour. We aimed to analyse the association between symptom valorisation and PD, while characterising individuals who disregarded their symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among TB patients in Lisbon and Oporto in 2019 - 2021. Subjects who delayed seeking care because they did not value their symptoms or thought these would go away on their own were considered to have disregarded their symptoms. PD was categorised using a 21-day cut-off, and a 30-day cut-off for sensitivity analysis. We estimated the effect of symptom valorisation on PD through a directed acyclic graph. Then, a multivariable regression analysis characterised patients that disregarded their symptoms, adjusting for relevant variables. We fitted Poisson regression models to estimate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR). Results: The study included 75 patients. Median PD was 25 days (IQR 11.5-63.5), and 56.0% of participants had PD exceeding 21 days. Symptom disregard was reported by 38.7% of patients. Patients who did not value their symptoms had higher prevalence of PD exceeding 21 days compared to those who valued their symptoms [PR 1.59 (95% CI 1.05-2.42)]. The sensitivity analysis showed consistent point estimates but wider confidence intervals [PR 1.39 (95% CI 0.77-2.55)]. Being a smoker was a risk factor for symptom disregard [PR 2.35 (95% CI 1.14-4.82)], while living in Oporto [PR 0.35 (95% CI 0.16-0.75)] and having higher household incomes [PR 0.39 (95% CI 0.17-0.94)] were protective factors. Conclusions: These findings emphasise the importance of symptom valorisation in timely TB diagnosis. Patients who did not value their symptoms had longer PD, indicating a need for interventions to improve symptom recognition. Our findings also corroborate the importance of the socioeconomic determinants of health, highlighting tobacco as a risk factor both for TB and for PD.This work was supported by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT, Portugal) [Grant: PTDC/SAU-PUB/31346/2017].

Caracterização e utilização do carotenoide bixina, extrato da semente do urucum (Bixa Orellana L.) como agente pigmentante nas dietas de animais não-ruminantes / Characterization and use of the carotenoid bixin, urucum seed extract (Bixa Orellana L.) as a pigmenting agent in diets for non-ruminant animals

Esta revisão tem como objetivo principal a elucidação de algumas lacunas sobre o uso da Bixiga na alimentação e no desempenho animal, bem como sua composição bromatológica, ação antioxidante e anti-inflamatória quando fornecido na dieta de animais não-ruminantes. Atualmente, o desenvolvimento de dietas com baixo custo de produção está recebendo cada vez mais atenção pelas indústrias alimentícias, devido ao aumento dos custos da matéria prima. Produzir de forma intensiva, requer muitas vezes algumas mudanças, principalmente nas composições das dietas. A produção intensiva de animais não-ruminantes é um exemplo disso, o milho muitas vezes é substituído pelo sorgo devido às fortes mudanças de preço do cereal. Entretanto, este ingrediente alternativo por apresentar baixos índices de carotenoides xantofilicos, contribui para produtos com baixa pigmentação, este fato deprime a comercialização dos produtos de origem animal como ovos, pele e carcaça. Neste aspecto, as inclusões de fontes exógenas de agentes pigmentantes como Bixiga torna-se importante por devolver a pigmentação aos produtos de origem animal. Como demonstrado em estudo, além da capacidade pigmentante, a Bixiga também possui potencial antioxidante, redutor de colesterol e triglicerídeos, e elevador dos níveis de HDL. Com isso, o corante mostra-se como um importante atrativo para as indústrias alimentícias, que buscam atender as expectativas dos consumidores por produtos mais saudáveis, livres de gorduras e com tonalidade diferenciada da carne e gema dos ovos

O8-1 24-Hour Movement Behavior and Fundamental Movement Skills in Pre-School Children: A Compositional Analysis

BACKGROUND: Studies that have analyzed the association between the different movement behaviors and fundamental movement skills (FMS), have considered it in an independent manner, disregarding the compositional nature of 24-hour movement behaviors (24h MB). The aim of this study was to investigate relationships between the 24h MB and FMS in low-income preschoolers. METHODS: Two hundred and four preschoolers of both sexes (4.5±0.8 years old; 101boys) provided objectively assessed physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) data (Actigraph wGT3X), and FMS assessments (TGMD-2). Sleep duration (SD) was reported by parents through interview. Association of daily time composition of movement behaviors with FMS was explored using compositional data analysis (R Core Team, 3.6.1). RESULTS: Our data highlighted that no single movement behaviour significantly predicted locomotor, manipulative, or total motor competence. When data were considered as a 24h MB composition based on PA, ST and SD, adjusted for age, BMI and sex, the composition significantly predicted locomotor score (P > 0.0001; r2 = 0.31), manipulative score (P > 0.0001; r2 = 0.19) and total motor competence score (P > 0.0001; r2 = 0.35), respectively. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that the 24h MB composition is more important for adequate FMS then any individual, movement behavior. This represents an important finding, particularly for creating and optimizing interventions to benefit child health

Domestic violence: repercussions for women and children

Abstract Objectives: To know the meanings attributed by women regarding the repercussions of the experience of domestic violence. Method: Qualitative study, based on the Grounded Theory method. Data were collected in two sticks of domestic and family violence against the Brazilian Northeast woman. An interview was conducted with 37 participants, who composed two sample groups. Results: The study demonstrates that the physical and mental health of women and their children are compromised, expressed through visible marks such as bruises and cuts, in addition to low self-esteem, sadness, fear and depression. There are also repercussions for the social relations of women as a consequence of social isolation and non-qualification for the labor market, and of children, related to the decrease in school performance, introspection and vulnerability to drug use. Conclusion: It is necessary to sensitize health professionals to the recognition of cases and promote educational actions, thus transcending the invisibility barrier of domestic violence

Prevalence and factors associated with experience of intrafamilial violence by teenagers in school

ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate prevalence of intrafamilial violence experience and its association with sociodemographic, sexual and use of alcohol/drugs variables in teenagers of a public school in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Method: Cross-sectional study with 239 teenagers. Data were collected through structured instrument, analyzed according to descriptive and inferential statistics, with multiple logistic regression. Results: Research pointed out a high prevalence of intrafamilial violence among teenagers (60.67%). Experience of this grievance was associated, with statistical significance, with the variables: higher age range (PR = 1.83 and 95%CI: 1.05 - 3.18) and regular use of condom (PR = 1.81 and 95%CI: 1.06 - 3.08). Violence was also associated with consumption of alcohol and marijuana. Conclusion: Regular use of condom and consumption of alcohol and/or marijuana represent risk behaviors to the experience of intrafamilial violence by teenagers in school, especially older than 15 years old
