Soil nutrient leaching in mixed tree cropping systems in the central Amazon.

Studies on the leaching losses of applied 15N tagged fertilizer during one rainy season, in the central Amazonia (Manaus-AM, Brasil). TDR, tensiometers and suction cups were installed under cupuacu, pupunha (peach palm), castanha-do-Para (Brazil nut) and urucu (annatto) in a mult-strata agroforestry system. The trees affected leaching losses of applied N to a different extend, and pupunha and urucu were better able to do so than the other investigated species. However, losses of applied fertilizer N can not entirely be prevented considering the extremely rapid soil water percolation under the studied humid tropical conditions and the highly permeable soil

Hidatidose do esterno e musculatura peitoral Sternal and pectoral musculature hydatidosis

A hidatidose é uma infecção ciclozoonótica causada pela tênia Echinococcus granulosus, cuja forma larvária acomete acidentalmente o homem, formando cistos hidáticos, preferencialmente nos pulmões e no fígado. A hidatidose óssea é um evento raro, caracterizado por crescimento lento e com poucos sintomas. Relata-se o caso de um homem de 36 anos com história de nódulos na parte anterior do tórax havia nove anos. Os exames de diagnóstico por imagem evidenciaram massas expansivas, loculadas e de conteúdo espesso nos músculos peitorais e lesão lítica no esterno. O diagnóstico de hidatidose foi feito na exploração cirúrgica. Recebeu alta sob tratamento com albendazol 2.400mg/dia por 28 dias.<br>Hydatidosis is a cyclezoonotic infection caused by taenia Echinococcus granulosus, whose larval form accidentally affects men by forming hydatic cysts preferably in the lungs and liver. Osseous hydatidosis is a rare event characterized by slow growth and few symptoms. It is reported on a 36-year-old man who had presented nodes in the anterior thorax for nine years. Imaging diagnostic examinations revealed thick, loculated, expansive masses in the pectoral muscles and sternal lytic lesions. The diagnosis of hydatidosis was established by exploratory surgery. The patient showed good clinical-surgical evolution and was discharged receiving albendazole, 2,400 mg/day, for 28 days
