Doses de nitrogênio em cultivares de feijão-comum em sistema plantio direto recém-instalado

The first years of the no-tillage system can promote changes in soil balance that directly impact on managements such as nitrogen fertilization. The aim was to evaluate the agronomic and qualitative performance of common bean cultivars under nitrogen rates in top-dressing in the first year of no-tillage system. The experiment was carried out in the winter season in a randomized block design in a split plot scheme, with four replications. The plots consisted of three common bean cultivars (IAC Alvorada, IAC Milênio and Pérola) and the subplots by four N rates (urea) applied in top-dressing (0, 70, 140 and 210 kg ha-1),. The common bean were sown under no-tillage system after maize crop, which showed a straw production of 7.0 Mg ha-1 of dry matter. The cultivars IAC Alvorada and IAC Milênio were more efficient and responsive than Pérola cultivar. The cultivars IAC Alvorada and IAC Milênio presented, on average, grain yield and sieve yield 12.5 and 15.2% higher than Pérola cultivar, respectively. Nitrogen rates in top-dressing and common bean cultivars promote differences in agronomic performance and quality independently. The grain yield of common bean cultivars showed linear increments with the nitrogen rates in top-dressing in the first year of no-tillage system, indicating a higher N requirement than the rate of 90 kg ha-1 of N recommended for the crop.Os primeiros anos da adoção do sistema plantio direto pode promover alterações no equilíbrio do solo que impactam diretamente em manejos, como a adubação nitrogenada. Objetivou-se avaliar o desempenho agronômico e qualitativo de cultivares de feijão-comum sob doses de nitrogênio em cobertura no primeiro ano de adoção do sistema plantio direto. O experimento foi conduzido na safra de inverno em delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema de parcelas subdivididas, com quatro repetições. As parcelas foram constituídas de três cultivares de feijão (IAC Alvorada, IAC Milênio e Pérola) e as subparcelas por quatro doses de N (ureia) aplicadas em cobertura (0, 70, 140 e 210 kg ha-1). O feijão foi semeado em sistema plantio direto após a cultura do milho, que apresentou produção de palhada de 7,0 Mg ha-1 de massa seca. As cultivares IAC Alvorada e IAC Milênio foram mais eficientes e responsivas do que a cultivar Pérola. As cultivares IAC Alvorada e IAC Milênio apresentaram, na média, produtividade e rendimento de peneiras 12,5 e 15,2% superior à cultivar Pérola, respectivamente. As doses de nitrogênio em cobertura e as cultivares de feijão-comum promovem diferenças no desempenho agronômico e qualidade de maneira independente. A produtividade das cultivares de feijão apresentam incrementos lineares com as doses de nitrogênio em cobertura no primeiro ano de adoção do sistema plantio direto, indicando maior exigência de N do que a dose ideal de 90 kg ha-1 de N recomendada para a cultura

COMPONENTES DE PRODUÇÃO, PRODUTIVIDADE E ATRIBUTOS TECNOLÓGICOS DE CULTIVARES DE FEIJOEIRO DO GRUPO COMERCIAL CARIOCA

In the National Register of Cultivars of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply are registered about 350 cultivars of bean. Bean cultivars, in addition to adaptation to the growing site, should present productive potential and meet the consumers' demands regarding the qualitative attributes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production, productivity and qualitative attributes of bean cultivars of Carioca commercial group during the autumn-winter period, in order to obtain information on productive capacity and grain quality, with characteristics that meet the producers and also the consumers.

Comparative Definitions for Moderate-Severe Ischemia in Stress Nuclear, Echocardiography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The lack of standardized reporting of the magnitude of ischemia on noninvasive imaging contributes to variability in translating the severity of ischemia across stress imaging modalities. We identified the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) death or myocardial infarction (MI) associated with ≥10% ischemic myocardium on stress nuclear imaging as the risk threshold for stress echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance. A narrative review revealed that ≥10% ischemic myocardium on stress nuclear imaging was associated with a median rate of CAD death or MI of 4.9%/year (interquartile range: 3.75% to 5.3%). For stress echocardiography, ≥3 newly dysfunctional segments portend a median rate of CAD death or MI of 4.5%/year (interquartile range: 3.8% to 5.9%). Although imprecisely delineated, moderate-severe ischemia on cardiac magnetic resonance may be indicated by ≥4 of 32 stress perfusion defects or ≥3 dobutamine-induced dysfunctional segments. Risk-based thresholds can define equivalent amounts of ischemia across the stress imaging modalities, which will help to translate a common understanding of patient risk on which to guide subsequent management decisions

Craniofaringioma adamantinomatoso: Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma

Introdução: Craniofaringiomas Adamantinomatosos são tumores do Sistema Nervoso Central, localizados no ducto craniofaríngeo. Provenientes de células escamosas e com curso tipicamente benigno, tem prevalência na infância e incidência até, aproximadamente, os 20 anos de idade. O diagnóstico é frequentemente tardio pelo seu crescimento lentificado e clínica inespecífica, agrupada em: cefaléia, distúrbios visuais e de caráter hormonal. O controle sintomático pode ser realizado farmacologicamente, embora a localização anatômica favoreça uma abordagem cirúrgica para resolução da patologia, considerando, também, tratamento adjuvante. Apresentação do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 9 anos de idade, estudante e natural de Rio Verde - GO, é levado pela mãe ao pediatra, que relata que o paciente tem apresentado cefaleia holocraniana intermitente e sem fator causal específico, há aproximadamente 70 dias. Associado ao quadro, refere-se a ganho de peso sem mudanças significativas na dieta ou hábitos de vida, no entanto, não soube especificar o ganho em quilogramas. Foi solicitada Ressonância Magnética de crânio, que confirmou o diagnóstico de Craniofaringioma Adamantinomatoso. Discussão: O desenvolvimento das técnicas cirúrgicas para ressecção tumoral permite optar por uma ressecção completa ou subtotal associada à radioterapia adjuvante (RT), sendo que a segunda permitiu uma taxa maior de sobrevida livre de progressão de doença. Porém, não pode-se excluir a primeira opção, já que é preconizada para indicações específicas, sobretudo diante da localização tumoral. Portanto, a abordagem do tumor deve ser planejada de modo individualizado, já que há risco de prejuízo na qualidade de vida e funcionalidade do indivíduo, em decorrência do sítio patológico e estruturas potencialmente afetadas. Conclusão: Para estabelecer o tratamento correto deve-se observar a localização e os impactos de cada intervenção avaliando as particularidades de cada paciente

Linfoma de Hodgkin com manifestações pulmonares exclusivas: Hodgkin's lymphoma with unique pulmonary manifestations

Introdução:  O envolvimento pulmonar associado ao linfoma de Hodgkin pode ocorrer tanto de forma primária como secundária. A primária é uma entidade rara e origina-se do tecido linfóide associado a mucosa. Já a secundária, mais frequente, pode resultar da proliferação direta dos gânglios linfáticos mediastinais ou de disseminação linfática ou hematogênica de outros locais. Apresentação do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 42 anos, com quadro de tosse, odinofagia, dor em seios da face. Há 7 dias iniciou quadro de dispneia e febre, com piora nos últimos 3 dias. Procurou pronto atendimento diversas vezes, com diagnóstico e tratamento de sinusite. Foi realizado Rx de seios da face, sem alterações. Hemograma completo, VHS, teste para tuberculose, sem achados específicos. Discussão: O linfoma Hodgkin pulmonar primário é uma patologia incomum, com poucos casos documentados, consistindo em menos de 1% de todos os linfomas. Apresenta discreta preponderância de incidência em mulheres (1,4:1 F:M) com distribuição bimodal de idade (<35 e >60 anos). Ocorre quando a proliferação linfóide clonal afeta os pulmões e não apresenta disseminação extrapulmonar no momento do diagnóstico ou nos 3 meses seguintes. Conclusão: O tratamento é variável na literatura, devido a falta de diretrizes, e é determinado de acordo com a extensão da patologia. A abordagem pode ser via cirurgia, radioterapia ou quimioterapia, sendo que muitas vezes é realizada uma associação dos métodos

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans – anteaters, sloths, and armadillos – have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with 24 domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, ten anteaters, and six sloths. Our dataset includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data-paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the south of the USA, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to its austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n=5,941), and Cyclopes sp. has the fewest (n=240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n=11,588), and the least recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n=33). With regards to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n=962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n=12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other datasets of Neotropical Series which will become available very soon (i.e. Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans dataset

Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules (THYCOVID): a retrospective, international, multicentre, cross-sectional study

Background Since its outbreak in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has diverted resources from non-urgent and elective procedures, leading to diagnosis and treatment delays, with an increased number of neoplasms at advanced stages worldwide. The aims of this study were to quantify the reduction in surgical activity for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the COVID-19 pandemic; and to evaluate whether delays in surgery led to an increased occurrence of aggressive tumours.Methods In this retrospective, international, cross-sectional study, centres were invited to participate in June 22, 2022; each centre joining the study was asked to provide data from medical records on all surgical thyroidectomies consecutively performed from Jan 1, 2019, to Dec 31, 2021. Patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules were divided into three groups according to when they underwent surgery: from Jan 1, 2019, to Feb 29, 2020 (global prepandemic phase), from March 1, 2020, to May 31, 2021 (pandemic escalation phase), and from June 1 to Dec 31, 2021 (pandemic decrease phase). The main outcomes were, for each phase, the number of surgeries for indeterminate thyroid nodules, and in patients with a postoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancers, the occurrence of tumours larger than 10 mm, extrathyroidal extension, lymph node metastases, vascular invasion, distant metastases, and tumours at high risk of structural disease recurrence. Univariate analysis was used to compare the probability of aggressive thyroid features between the first and third study phases. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05178186.Findings Data from 157 centres (n=49 countries) on 87 467 patients who underwent surgery for benign and malignant thyroid disease were collected, of whom 22 974 patients (18 052 [78 center dot 6%] female patients and 4922 [21 center dot 4%] male patients) received surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules. We observed a significant reduction in surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the pandemic escalation phase (median monthly surgeries per centre, 1 center dot 4 [IQR 0 center dot 6-3 center dot 4]) compared with the prepandemic phase (2 center dot 0 [0 center dot 9-3 center dot 7]; p&lt;0 center dot 0001) and pandemic decrease phase (2 center dot 3 [1 center dot 0-5 center dot 0]; p&lt;0 center dot 0001). Compared with the prepandemic phase, in the pandemic decrease phase we observed an increased occurrence of thyroid tumours larger than 10 mm (2554 [69 center dot 0%] of 3704 vs 1515 [71 center dot 5%] of 2119; OR 1 center dot 1 [95% CI 1 center dot 0-1 center dot 3]; p=0 center dot 042), lymph node metastases (343 [9 center dot 3%] vs 264 [12 center dot 5%]; OR 1 center dot 4 [1 center dot 2-1 center dot 7]; p=0 center dot 0001), and tumours at high risk of structural disease recurrence (203 [5 center dot 7%] of 3584 vs 155 [7 center dot 7%] of 2006; OR 1 center dot 4 [1 center dot 1-1 center dot 7]; p=0 center dot 0039).Interpretation Our study suggests that the reduction in surgical activity for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the COVID-19 pandemic period could have led to an increased occurrence of aggressive thyroid tumours. However, other compelling hypotheses, including increased selection of patients with aggressive malignancies during this period, should be considered. We suggest that surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules should no longer be postponed even in future instances of pandemic escalation.Funding None.Copyright (c) 2023 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
