TRATAMENTO HORMONIOTERÁPICO NÃO ALTERA A FORÇA DE PREENSÃO MANUAL EM MULHERES SOBREVIVENTES DO CÂNCER DE MAMA.

Introduction: Hormone therapy is a type of efficient treatment against breast cancer. However, recent evidence has shown negative side effects on the general health status of women with this condition. In this sense, it is worth mentioning that muscle strength is an important component of physical fitness that is related to health. Objective: To compare the handgrip strength (HGS) of healthy individuals (HW) with breast cancer survivors (BCS) under hormonal treatment. Methodology: 10 women breast cancer survivors (BCS) who were undergoing hormone therapy and 10 healthy women (HW) were recruited. The handgrip strength test was performed in order to compare the values ​​between the groups. The independent T test was used to compare the averages of the parametric data between the groups. The level of significance was p≤0.05. Results: No differences were found between the BCS and HW groups in the right (25.5 ± 5.9 Kg and 27.0 ± 3.3 Kg, respectively (p= 0,09)) and left (24.2 ± 6.0 Kg and 26, 0 ± 4.3 Kg, respectively (p= 0,21)). Conclusion: We can consider that HGS was not influenced by hormonal treatment, showing similar values ​​between groups. Thus, health professionals can use this knowledge in order to enable strategies during hormonal therapy that require muscle strength such as the practice of physical exercise, in order to improve the prognosis of the disease.Introdução: A hormonioterapia é um tipo de tratamento eficiente contra o câncer de mama. Contudo, recentes evidências têm demonstrado efeitos colaterais negativos no estado geral da saúde em mulheres nessa condição. Nesse sentido, vale ressaltar que a força muscular é um importante componente da aptidão física que está relacionado a saúde. Objetivo:  Comparar a força de preensão manual (FPM) de indivíduos saudáveis (SD) com indivíduos sobreviventes do câncer de mama (SCM) sob tratamento hormonal. Metodologia: Foram recrutadas 10 mulheres sobreviventes do câncer de mama (SCM) que estavam realizando hormonioterapia e 10 mulheres saudáveis (SD). Foi realizado o teste de força de preensão manual (FPM) a fim de comparar os valores entre os grupos. O teste T independente foi utilizado para comparar as médias dos dados paramétricos entre os grupos. O nível de significância foi p≤0,05. Resultados: Não foram encontradas diferenças entre os grupos SCM e SD no membro direito (25,5 ± 5,9 Kg e 27,0 ± 3,3 Kg, respectivamente (p= 0,09)) e esquerdo (24,2 ± 6,0 Kg e 26,0 ± 4,3 Kg, respectivamente (p= 0,21)). Conclusão: Podemos considerar que a FPM não foi influenciada pelo tratamento hormonal, demostrando valores semelhantes entre os grupos. Sendo assim, profissionais da saúde podem utilizar este conhecimento a fim de viabilizar estratégias durante a terapia hormonal que exijam força muscular como a prática de exercício físico, a fim de melhorar o prognostico da doença

Data were the 25,332 feminicide deaths recorded in the Mortality Information System. A temporal trend analysis was performed using negative binomial regression. Results: after the correction steps, there was an increase of approximately 17.0% in deaths, corresponding to the standardized average rate of 4.7/100,000 women. There were higher mortality rates in women in the second and third decades of life. Higher average rates per 100,000 women were observed in the states of Pernambuco (8.25) and Alagoas (6.32). An increase in mortality rates in all the states of the analyzed region, in the period verified was evidenced, with the exception of Sergipe. Conclusion: a high magnitude of feminicide rates and ascendant trends were observed in most states in the Northeast Region of Brazil

Genotype x environment interaction for corn oil content in different fertilizing and seasons

The genotypes present differential behavior as a function of genotype x environment interaction, having an effect on heritability estimation and selection gain. Thus, the present study was carried out with the objective of studying the interaction genotype x environment, for oil content in corn grains, as a function of nitrogen doses and sowing times. In the agricultural year 2015/16, six competition trials of maize genotypes were carried out in Palmas-TO, three of which were installed on 12.01.2015 and three on 01.01.2016. The trials were installed at two sowing times, and in each season, the genotypes were cultivated under conditions of low, medium and high nitrogen in coverage. The experimental design used in each trial was randomized blocks with 12 genotypes and three replicates. Analyzes of adaptability, stability, stratification and environmental dissimilarity were performed. The genotype GEN 12 is potentially promising for the oil content, being considered ideal by the methodology of Eberhart & Russel (1966). Evaluations of maize genotypes, carried out at different times under the same fertilization dose, provide similar results

Efficiency and Response to Phosphorus Use of Corn Cultivars in the Tropical Climate

Aims: The present study evaluated the efficiency and response to phosphorus (P) use of corn cultivars in the tropical climate in southern Para State, Brazil. Study Design: Two experiments were carried out, in low P (50 kg ha-1) and high P (200 kg ha-1) applications in Randomized block design (RBD), three replicates, and fourteen cultivars were used for the experiment. Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was carried out in the 2019-20 harvest at Sitio Vitoria (8º18'32" S, 50º36'58" W), located in the municipality of Santa Maria das Barreiras, a southern region of Para state, Brazil. Methodology: Phosphate fertilization was used in the sowing groove. In low P, 50 kg ha-1 of P2O5 were applied, and in high P were 200 kg ha-1 of P2O5. The source was simple superphosphate (18% P2O5). The dose in high P was defined to achieve high yields and considering the nutrient content in the soil, in low P the dose was well below. Nitrogen and potassium fertilization in cover were divided: 50% in V4 and 50% in V8. Doses of 150 kg ha-1 of N and 90 kg ha-1 of K2O were used, and fertilizers were used: urea (43% N) and potassium chloride (60% K2O). Results: The highest means were: 8,710 kg ha-1 efficiency and 29.78 kg kg-1 response. The efficient cultivars were: ORION, BR 2022, CR 120, AL BANDEIRANTE, M 274, BRS 3046, and AG 8088. And those considered responsive were: BM 3061, BR206, CATIVERDE 02, BR 205, ANHEMBI, BR 2022, and BRS 3046. Conclusion: The cultivar BR 2022 and BRS3046 showed high efficiency and also a response to phosphorus use

Agronomic Performance and Genetic Divergence in Corn (Zea mays) in the Cerrado-Amazon Ecotone

The objective of this work is to study the agronomic performance and genetic divergence in corn in the Cerrado-Amazon ecotone. The trials were conducted in the 2017/18 harvest at a property in the state of Pará. The experimental design was a randomized block with nine treatments and three replications, where the treatments are represented by nine cultivars of corn. The characteristics to evaluate agronomic performance and genetic divergence were: ear height (cm), plant height (cm), ear length (cm), ear diameter (mm), number of rows, number of grains per row and grain yield (kg ha−1). The cultivars were separated into a multivariate model in five groups using the Tocher optimization method. The cultivar AG 1051 showed the best agronomic performance. The results of genetic divergence were according to the generalized distance of Mahalanobis (D2), with the commences AG 8088 x CATIVERDE and AG 1051 x AL BANDEIRANTE, the most promising for future crosses
