Hubungan Kadar Kolesterol Total Dengan Tekanan Darah Pada Guru Di SMP 1 & 2 Eben Haezar Dan SMA Eben Haezar Manado

: Hypertension is the third cause of death, coming after stroke and tuberculosis, which encompasses 6,7% mortality ages in Indonesia. This study aims to identify the correlation between total cholesterol level and blood pressure on teachers.This study is a cross-sectional design. A total of 83 Teachers participation in this study by using total sampling method. This study found that the correlation between total cholesterol level and systolic blood pressure is not significant (r = -0,070). The same thing was done to test the correlation between total cholesterol level and diastolic blood pressure. It was found that the r between both variables is -0,090, while the determination coefficient (r2) is 0,008. The average of systolic and diastolic blood pressure on teachers is 118 mmHg and 77 mmHg. The average of total cholesterol level on teachers is 176 mg/dl. This study conclude that there is no correlation between total cholesterol level and blood pressure on teachers. However it is worth to evaluate the relationship between cholesterol and blood pressure using random time cholesterol

Indexação de variedades de videira provenientes do cultivo in vitro visando a micropropagação de material livre do cancro-bacteriano.

O cancro-bacteriano causado por Xanthomonas campestris pv. viticola (Xcv) é uma das mais importantes doenças da videira no Vale do São Francisco. Recomenda-se uma combinação de várias medidas para diminuir a severidade da doença, pois ainda não existem métodos eficientes de controle. Uma das principais medidas é a utilização de material propagativo livre do patógeno. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi promover a limpeza clonal de mudas de videira por meio da cultura de tecidos, para eliminação de Xcv. Foram utilizadas plantas de videira de variedades copa e porta-enxerto para indexação a partir de fragmentos retirados da região mediana do caule. Esses fragmentos foram colocados em microtubos contendo água esterilizada e macerados. Após a maceração, o material foi dispensado em placas de Petri contendo meio de cultura NYDAM e acondicionado em B.O.D à temperatura de 28 ºC durante 48 e 72 horas. A avaliação foi realizada quanto à presença ou ausência de colônias bacterianas típicas de Xcv. Após a indexação, todo material livre da bactéria foi multiplicado por meio de segmentos nodais. Todas as plantas, de todas as variedades avaliadas, apresentaram indexação negativa. Assim, a cultura de tecidos com posterior indexação pode ser utilizada para a produção de material propagativo sadio

Impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular testing in the United States versus the rest of the world

Objectives: This study sought to quantify and compare the decline in volumes of cardiovascular procedures between the United States and non-US institutions during the early phase of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the care of many non-COVID-19 illnesses. Reductions in diagnostic cardiovascular testing around the world have led to concerns over the implications of reduced testing for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Methods: Data were submitted to the INCAPS-COVID (International Atomic Energy Agency Non-Invasive Cardiology Protocols Study of COVID-19), a multinational registry comprising 909 institutions in 108 countries (including 155 facilities in 40 U.S. states), assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of diagnostic cardiovascular procedures. Data were obtained for April 2020 and compared with volumes of baseline procedures from March 2019. We compared laboratory characteristics, practices, and procedure volumes between U.S. and non-U.S. facilities and between U.S. geographic regions and identified factors associated with volume reduction in the United States. Results: Reductions in the volumes of procedures in the United States were similar to those in non-U.S. facilities (68% vs. 63%, respectively; p = 0.237), although U.S. facilities reported greater reductions in invasive coronary angiography (69% vs. 53%, respectively; p < 0.001). Significantly more U.S. facilities reported increased use of telehealth and patient screening measures than non-U.S. facilities, such as temperature checks, symptom screenings, and COVID-19 testing. Reductions in volumes of procedures differed between U.S. regions, with larger declines observed in the Northeast (76%) and Midwest (74%) than in the South (62%) and West (44%). Prevalence of COVID-19, staff redeployments, outpatient centers, and urban centers were associated with greater reductions in volume in U.S. facilities in a multivariable analysis. Conclusions: We observed marked reductions in U.S. cardiovascular testing in the early phase of the pandemic and significant variability between U.S. regions. The association between reductions of volumes and COVID-19 prevalence in the United States highlighted the need for proactive efforts to maintain access to cardiovascular testing in areas most affected by outbreaks of COVID-19 infection

Inibição do crescimento de Xanthomonas campestris pv. viticola por sanitizantes.

O cancro bacteriano é uma das principais doenças da videira no Vale do São Francisco e uma das estratégias de controle que vem sendo utilizada pelos produtores da região é o uso de sanitizantes. No entanto, não se conhece a real eficiência desses produtos no controle dessa bacteriose. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a eficiência de sanitizantes na inibição in vitro de isolados de Xanthomonas campestris pv. viticola (Xcv). Foram testados quatro sanitizantes clorados em diferentes dosagens: cloreto de dodecildimetil amônio, cloreto de benzalcônio, hipoclorito de sódio e dicloroisocianurato de sódio frente a três isolados de Xcv. O antibiograma foi realizado em meio NYDA semissólido, acrescido da suspensão do patógeno e deposição de discos de papel embebidos nas diferentes soluções dos sanitizantes. As avaliações foram realizadas com a medição do diâmetro do halo de inibição em dois sentidos opostos, calculando-se a média. Os isolados de Xcv foram medianamente sensíveis aos sanitizantes cloreto de dodecildimetil amônio e hipoclorito de sódio e pouco sensíveis ao cloreto de benzalcônio, enquanto o dicloroisocianurato de sódio não causou inibição em nenhum dos isolados testados

Pre-hispanic settlements in hydrometeorologically susceptible areas during the late Holocene: The Upper Delta of the Paraná River case

In this paper, we present the results of the geoarchaeological studies carried out in two archaeological localities of the Upper Delta of the Paraná River (Argentina). The main objective of these studies is to depict the pre-Hispanic strategies involved in the colonization and settlement of southern South America wetlands. Paraná Delta is one of the most conspicuous areas of these lowlands and comprises a large wetland macrosystem. Its current geomorphological configuration was established after the last transgressive mid-Holocene event c. 600014C yr BP. In this environment, a high ecological heterogeneity, with diverse and abundant tropical and temperate biota, was developed. These features were important factors to the human colonization and utilization of these wetlands. However, this environment has the highest hydrometeorological susceptibility of La Plata basin. This susceptibility had an impact on settlement systems and resource exploitation strategies established in the area since at least 200014C yr BP. These strategies involved at least two settlement types: semi-permanent residential camps and transitory camps oriented to exploit particular resources. The semi-permanent settlements were located in anthropogenic elevated mounds, locally known as ‘cerritos’, and were not subjected to seasonal inundations. Conversely, the transitory camps are found in levees exposed to recurrent flooding.Fil: Castiñeira Latorre, Carola. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina.
