Ăgua de consumo humano como fator de risco Ă saĂșde em propriedades rurais
OBJECTIVE: To assess the sanitary quality of drinking water in rural farms through counts of microbiological indicators. METHODS: A total of 180 drinking water samples from sources, reservoirs and water from site of consumption were collected in 30 rural farms located in the northeast region of the sate of SĂŁo Paulo. The most probable number of total coliforms, Escherichia coli and mesophilic microorganisms were determined. Also, the presence of protection measures for water supplies wase verified. RESULTS: The study results showed that 90.0% of drinking water samples from sources, 90.0% from reservoirs, and 96.7% from sites of consumption, collected during the rainy season, and 83.3%, 96.7% and 90.0% of samples collected in dry season were below the quality control standards for drinking water. CONCLUSIONS: Drinking water in rural farms was considered a potential human health threat. Preventive measures for protecting water sources and water treatment are necessary to significantly reduce the occurrence of waterborne diseases.OBJETIVO: Verificar a qualidade higiĂȘnico-sanitĂĄria da ĂĄgua de consumo humano em propriedades rurais por meio da contagem de indicadores microbiolĂłgicos de potabilidade. MĂTODOS: Foram colhidas 180 amostras de ĂĄgua utilizada para consumo humano das fontes, reservatĂłrios e ponto de consumo em 30 propriedades rurais, situadas na regiĂŁo Nordeste do Estado de SĂŁo Paulo. Determinou-se o nĂșmero mais provĂĄvel de coliformes totais, Escherichia coli e o nĂșmero de microrganismos mesĂłfilos. Foi verificada a presença de medidas de proteção das fontes de abastecimento. RESULTADOS: Os resultados evidenciaram que 90% das amostras de ĂĄgua das fontes, 90% dos reservatĂłrios e 96,7% de ĂĄgua de consumo humano, colhidas no perĂodo de chuvas, e 83,3%, 96,7% e 90%, daquelas colhidas respectivamente nos mesmos locais, durante a estiagem, estavam fora dos padrĂ”es microbiolĂłgicos de potabilidade para ĂĄgua de consumo humano. CONCLUSĂES: A ĂĄgua utilizada nas propriedades rurais foi considerada um importante fator de risco Ă saĂșde dos seres humanos que a utilizam. A adoção de medidas preventivas, visando Ă preservação das fontes de ĂĄgua, e o tratamento das ĂĄguas jĂĄ comprometidas sĂŁo as ferramentas necessĂĄrias para diminuir consideravelmente o risco de ocorrĂȘncia de enfermidades de veiculação hĂdrica

Bioclimatic Influence on the Pregnancy Rate in Embryo-Recipient Cows in the Amazonian Biome
The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of the climate, through the parameters of rectal temperature (RT), temperature and humidity index (THI), and plasma cortisol concentration, on the physiological responses of embryo-recipient cows in the Amazonian biome. For the conduction of the experiment in which 11 rural properties participated, 235 crossbred cows were used as embryo recipients. The embryos were obtained by means of the in vitro production technique (PIV). The recipients were divided into batches and submitted based on the simplification of the P36 protocol for fixed-time embryo transfer (FTET). To the day of embryo transfer, blood samples were collected by venipuncture of the coccygeal vein in tubes with anticoagulant. Plasma cortisol dosages were done by solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) technique using commercial kits. The rectal temperature of each of the recipients submitted to the protocol was verified using a digital clinical thermometer, and the ambient temperature and the relative humidity of the air were evaluated in this moment, both with the aid of own digital equipment. Statistical analysis of the parameters evaluated was Pearsonâs correlation and Studentâs t-test at a significance level of 5%. In the analysis of variance, it was observed that there was a significant difference in plasma cortisol and THI among the groups, where lower mean values were found in the GP group. The Amazonian climate is an inducer of thermal stress, which can cause abnormalities in the estral cycle and changes in the synthesis of sex hormones and embryonic development and, consequently, negatively affect the pregnancy rate in embryo-recipient cows, even in races more adapted to the tropics, as demonstrated by the RT, THI, and plasma cortisol parameters

Predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing pharmacoinvasive treatment
OBJECTIVES: To identify predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing pharmacoinvasive treatment. METHODS: This was an observational, prospective study that included 398 patients admitted to a tertiary center for percutaneous coronary intervention within 3 to 24 hours after thrombolysis with tenecteplase. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01791764 RESULTS: The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 5.8%. Compared with patients who survived, patients who died were more likely to be older, have higher rates of diabetes and chronic renal failure, have a lower left ventricular ejection fraction, and demonstrate more evidence of heart failure (Killip class III or IV). Patients who died had significantly lower rates of successful thrombolysis (39% vs. 68%; pâ=â0.005) and final myocardial blush grade 3 (13.0% vs. 61.9%; p<0.0001). Based on the multivariate analysis, the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events score (odds ratio 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.09; pâ=â0.001), left ventricular ejection fraction (odds ratio 0.9, 95% CI 0.89-0.97; pâ=â0.001), and final myocardial blush grade of 0-2 (odds ratio 8.85, 95% CI 1.34-58.57; pâ=â0.02) were independent predictors of mortality. CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective study that evaluated patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated by a pharmacoinvasive strategy, the in-hospital mortality rate was 5.8%. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events score, left ventricular ejection fraction, and myocardial blush were independent predictors of mortality in this high-risk group of acute coronary syndrome patients.Universidade Federal de SĂŁo Paulo (UNIFESP) Department of CardiologySecretaria de Saude do Municipio de SĂŁo PauloHospital Municipal TatuapeUNIFESP, Department of CardiologySciEL
Evidence for an ηc(1S)Ïâ resonance in B0 â ηc(1S)K+Ïâ decays
A Dalitz plot analysis of B0 â ηc(1S)K +Ïâ
decays is performed using data samples of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies
of âs = 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 4.7 fbâ1. A satisfactory description of
the data is obtained when including a contribution representing an exotic ηc(1S)Ïâ resonant state. The significance
of this exotic resonance is more than three standard deviations, while its mass and width are 4096 ± 20 +18
â22 MeV and
152±58 +60
â35 MeV, respectively. The spin-parity assignments
J P = 0+ and J P = 1â are both consistent with the data. In
addition, the first measurement of the B0 â ηc(1S)K +Ïâ
branching fraction is performed and gives
B(B0â ηc(1S)K +Ïâ) = (5.73 ± 0.24 ± 0.13 ± 0.66) Ă 10â4,
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third is due to limited knowledge of external
branching fractionsS

model-independent study of the K(1460)

The coherence factor of the decays is calculated from
the amplitude models to be RK3Ï = 0.459 ± 0.010 (stat) ±
0.012 (syst)±0.020 (model), which is consistent with direct
measurements. These models will be useful in future measurements
of the unitary-triangle angle Îł and studies of
charm mixing and CP violationS
Observation of the decay BÂŻ0sâÏc2K+Kâ in the Ï mass region
The BÂŻ0sâÏc2K+Kâ decay mode is observed and its branching fraction relative to the corresponding Ïc1 decay mode, in a ±15 MeV/c2 window around the Ï mass, is found to be
B(BÂŻ0sâÏc2K+Kâ)B(BÂŻ0sâÏc1K+Kâ)=(17.1±3.1±0.4±0.9)%,
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to the knowledge of the branching fractions of radiative Ïc decays. The decay mode BÂŻ0sâÏc1K+Kâ allows the B0s mass to be measured as
m(B0s)=5366.83±0.25±0.27 MeV/c2,
where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. A combination of this result with other LHCb determinations of the B 0s mass is made.S
