AÇÃO EDUCATIVA SOBRE O CÂNCER DE MAMA E CÂNCER DE PRÓSTATA AOS USUÁRIOS DE UMA UNIDADE BÁSICA DE SAÚDE DE ANÁPOLIS-GO: UM RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA

O câncer é um problema de saúde pública mundial e o aumento nos dados epidemiológicos relacionados a esta afecção tem trazido a implementação da prevenção primária para o rastreamento e diagnóstico precoce do câncer na população. Estima-se que as neoplasias malignas de maior incidência na mulher e no homem, respectivamente, são o câncer de mama e o câncer de próstata. Atualmente, ambos possuem altas taxas de morbimortalidade e estão diretamente relacionados ao incremento na expectativa de vida, fatores genéticos e hábitos de vida deletérios à saúde. Desta forma, para ambos os casos de câncer a detecção precoce por meio da prevenção primária e rastreamento se faz essencial e indispensável para a melhoria do prognóstico e sobrevida dos indivíduos. Para tanto, a educação em saúde consiste em excelente ferramenta para se alcançar bons resultados para a prevenção primária. O objetivo deste relato de experiência consiste na exposição da prática da prevenção primária por meio da ação educativa em saúde realizada na Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) do Bairro de Lourdes, Anápolis-GO, por acadêmicas do quarto período de Medicina, com o tema centrado na Atenção Oncológica e enfoque nos cânceres de mama e próstata

PAISAGENS NATURAIS, GEOMORFOLOGIA COSTEIRA E DINÂMICA AMBIENTAL NO IGUAPE, AQUIRAZ-CE.

A planície litorânea do Iguape, Aquiraz-CE, constitui um ambiente de elevada vulnerabilidade ambiental, porém, vem sendo modificada sem um planejamento ambiental prévio, gerando desequilíbrios no ambiente. Avalia-se que o estudo sobre a área poderá subsidiar trabalhos de planejamento e gestão da comunidade levando em consideração suas potencialidades, fragilidades e limitações, e que possam ser realizadas ações que priorizem a conservação desses ambientes através de práticas menos impactantes

Uso De Extensores Flexíveis Na Derriça Em Lavouras De Café De Primeira Safra

The coffee harvest of the first crop can be benefited by the use of rubber extenders at the end of the stems. This because their malleable constitution acquires oscillatory motion increasing the stem contact area with the fruits. However, the coffee varieties have big morphological and physiological differences that can influence the mechanical harvesting. This study had a goal to test two of coffee harvesters (conventional and adapted to the harvest of the first crop plantations) in the absence and presence of rubber extenders in two cultivars (Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144 and Tupi IAC 1669-33). The design was randomized blocks in five plants per plot. Evaluated the amount of fallen coffee, remaining harvested, picked and operational defoliation. Evaluated the amount of fallen coffee, remaining harvested and operational defoliation. There was obtained that the use of rubber extenders increases the amount of coffee collected in 16.6%. The first crop coffee harvest should be made with harvester adapted to this situation. The Cultivar Tupi IAC 1669-33 has high difficulty to be mechanically harvested the first crop, should be taken with two mechanized operations. © 2016, Editora UFLA. All rights reserved.11218719

Hypothalamic S1p/s1pr1 axis controls energy homeostasis

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) is a G-protein-coupled receptor for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) that has a role in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. Here we show that the S1P/S1PR1 signalling pathway in hypothalamic neurons regulates energy homeostasis in rodents. We demonstrate that S1PR1 protein is highly enriched in hypothalamic POMC neurons of rats. Intracerebroventricular injections of the bioactive lipid, S1P, reduce food consumption and increase rat energy expenditure through persistent activation of STAT3 and the melanocortin system. Similarly, the selective disruption of hypothalamic S1PR1 increases food intake and reduces the respiratory exchange ratio. We further show that STAT3 controls S1PR1 expression in neurons via a positive feedback mechanism. Interestingly, several models of obesity and cancer anorexia display an imbalance of hypothalamic S1P/S1PR1/STAT3 axis, whereas pharmacological intervention ameliorates these phenotypes. Taken together, our data demonstrate that the neuronal S1P/S1PR1/STAT3 signalling axis plays a critical role in the control of energy homeostasis in rats.Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) is a G-protein-coupled receptor for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) that has a role in many physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Olive phenology as a sensitive indicator of future climatic warming in the Mediterranean

Experimental and modelling work suggests a strong dependence of olive flowering date on spring temperatures. Since airborne pollen concentrations reflect the flowering phenology of olive populations within a radius of 50 km, they may be a sensitive regional indicator of climatic warming. We assessed this potential sensitivity with phenology models fitted to flowering dates inferred from maximum airborne pollen data. Of four models tested, a thermal time model gave the best fit for Montpellier, France, and was the most effective at the regional scale, providing reasonable predictions for 10 sites in the western Mediterranean. This model was forced with replicated future temperature simulations for the western Mediterranean from a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model (GCM). The GCM temperatures rose by 4·5 °C between 1990 and 2099 with a 1% per year increase in greenhouse gases, and modelled flowering date advanced at a rate of 6·2 d per °C. The results indicated that this long-term regional trend in phenology might be statistically significant as early as 2030, but with marked spatial variation in magnitude, with the calculated flowering date between the 1990s and 2030s advancing by 3–23 d. Future monitoring of airborne olive pollen may therefore provide an early biological indicator of climatic warming in the Mediterranean

Infrared thermography as a tool in welfare assessment of equines handled in paddock and stall

ABSTRACT This study aims to describe the effects of stabling on thermographic characteristics of adult equine limbs, to compare the level of animal welfare between horses kept loose and those under continuous stabling and to investigate whether the Infrared Thermography (IRT) can be an effective tool to evaluate the welfare of equines. 24 gelding horses of Brazilian Sport Horse breed, aged between 5 and 9 years and weighing 500 ± 50kg were used in a 6-week trial. They were divided into 2 groups: 1) Paddock - equines kept in paddocks and ridden exclusively on urban patrol; 2) Stall - animals that ridden exclusively on urban patrol, but were kept in continuous stabling, housed in 12m² with concrete and bedless stables. Every animal was evaluated once a week over six weeks. Animal behavior and temperature of the eyes and distal extremities of the limbs as well as blood samples were collected. The confined horses showed stereotyped behavior and higher serum cortisol, indicating lower animal welfare when compared to those managed in a pasture. Limb IRT showed predictive potential for identifying chronic stress as the discriminating analysis showed 74.5% hits while eye temperature was not efficient for this purpose

First observation of the KS->pi0 gamma gamma decay

Using the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS, 31 KS->pi0 gamma gamma candidates with an estimated background of 13.7 +- 3.2 events have been observed. This first observation leads to a branching ratio of BR(KS->pi0 gamma gamma) = (4.9 +- 1.6(stat) +- 0.9(syst)) x 10^-8 in agreement with Chiral Perturbation theory predictions.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures submitted to Phys.

Search for CP violation in K0 -> 3 pi0 decays

Using data taken during the year 2000 with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS, a search for the CP violating decay K_S -> 3 pi0 has been performed. From a fit to the lifetime distribution of about 4.9 million reconstructed K0/K0bar -> 3 pi0 decays, the CP violating amplitude eta_000 = A(K_S -> 3 pi0)/A(K_L -> 3 pi0) has been found to be Re(eta_000) = -0.002 +- 0.011 +- 0.015 and Im(eta_000) = -0.003 +- 0.013 +- 0.017. This corresponds to an upper limit on the branching fraction of Br(K_S -> 3 pi0) < 7.4 x 10^-7 at 90% confidence level. The result is used to improve knowledge of Re(epsilon) and the CPT violating quantity Im(delta) via the Bell-Steinberger relation.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Lett.
