Utilização de insetos como alimento alternativo nas dietas de suínos : uma abordagem sistemática

No cenário atual do Brasil, a alimentação é responsável por mais de 70% dos custos da produção de suínos, sendo que o milho e o farelo de soja compõem a base das dietas de animais monogástricos. Devido a oscilação dos preços de mercado, é essencial buscar alimentos alternativos com um menor valor e que não diminua o desempenho e a qualidade do produto final. Dentre estes ingredientes, as farinhas de insetos são provavelmente as mais promissoras. Com isso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, através de uma revisão sistemática, o efeito da utilização de insetos em dietas para suínos em diferentes fases de produção, a fim de observar seus índices de desempenho zootécnico. A pesquisa dos estudos foi realizada em bases indexadoras (PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science) seguindo o método PICo. Os estudos selecionados apresentavam comparações entre variáveis de desempenho de suínos alimentados com dietas controle e dietas contendo inseto em sua composição. Ao total, foram incluídos na base de dados 13 artigos, totalizando 1.388 suínos analisados. Após, as variáveis de desempenho como ganho de peso médio diário, consumo médio diário e conversão alimentar foram analisadas. A maior parte dos estudos, 12 deles, incluíram os insetos em fase de larva nas dietas avaliadas. Entre os artigos selecionados foram utilizadas 5 variedades de insetos, sendo o principal a mosca soldado negro. A utilização deste inseto promoveu uma crescente linear quanto ao CMD, GMD e na relação de ganho de peso/consumo quando comparados ao tratamento controle. Em síntese, a utilização de insetos na composição das dietas de suínos é uma boa alternativa para ser incorporada neste setor produtivo, porém é indispensável a realização de mais estudos nesta área.In the current scenario in Brazil, feed is responsible for more than 70% of the costs of swine production, with corn and soybean meal being the basis of diets for monogastric animals. Due to fluctuating market prices, it is essential to seek alternative foods with a lower value and that do not reduce the performance and quality of the final product. Among these ingredients, insect meal are probably the most promising. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate, through a systematic review, the effect of using insects in diets for swine at different stages of production, in order to observe their performance indices. The research of studies was carried out in indexing databases (PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) following the PICo method. The selected studies presented comparisons between performance variables of pigs fed on control diets and diets containing insects in their composition. In total, 13 articles were included in the database, totalizing 1,388 pigs analyzed. Afterwards, performance variables such as average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed conversion were analyzed. Most of the studies, 12 of them, included insects in the larval stage in the evaluated diets. Among the selected articles, 5 varieties of insects were used, the main one being the black soldier fly. The use of this exemption promoted a linear increase in ADFI, ADG and in the feed efficiency when compared to the control treatment. In summary, the use of insects in the composition of swine diets is a good alternative to be incorporated in this productive sector, but further studies in this area are essential

Suicidal Ideation and Suicidal Behavior as Rare Adverse Events of Antidepressant Medication: Current Report from the AMSP Multicenter Drug Safety Surveillance Project

Background: Suicidal ideations, suicide attempts, and fatal suicides are rare adverse drug reactions to antidepressant drugs, but they essentially are clinically relevant. Drawing on a larger dataset of the European drug surveillance program, the present naturalistic study updates a previous contribution (Stikner et al., 2010). Methods: First an analysis of the comprehensive data collected in 81 psychiatric hospitals from 1993 to 2014 by the European drug surveillance program Arzneimittelsicherheit in der Psychiatrie was made. All documented single cases of suicidal ideations or behavior judged as adverse drug reactions to antidepressant drugs were carefully assessed as to their clinical features and drug prescriptions. Results: Among 219,635 adult hospitalized patients taking antidepressant drugs under surveillance, 83 cases of suicidal adverse drug reactions occurred (0.04%): 44 cases of suicidal ideation, 34 attempted suicides, and 5 committed suicides were documented. Restlessness was present in 42 patients, ego-dystonic intrusive suicidal thoughts or urges in 39 patients, impulsiveness in 22 patients, and psychosis in 7 patients. Almost all adverse drug reactions occurred shortly after beginning antidepressant drug medication or increasing the dosage. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors caused a higher incidence of suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior as adverse drug reactions than noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants or tricyclic antidepressants, as did monotherapy consisting of one antidepressant drug, compared to combination treatments. Conclusions: The study supports the view that antidepressant drug-triggered suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior (primarily with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are rare. Special clinical features (restlessness, ego-dystonic thoughts or urges, impulsiveness) may be considered as possible warning signs. A combination therapy might be preferable to antidepressant drug monotherapy when beginning treatment

The Parkinson disease pain classification system: Results from an international mechanism-based classification approach

Pain is a common nonmotor symptom in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) but the correct diagnosis of the respective cause remains difficult because suitable tools are lacking, so far. We developed a framework to differentiate PD- from non-PD-related pain and classify PD-related pain into 3 groups based on validated mechanistic pain descriptors (nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic), which encompass all the previously described PD pain types. Severity of PD-related pain syndromes was scored by ratings of intensity, frequency, and interference with daily living activities. The PD-Pain Classification System (PD-PCS) was compared with classic pain measures (ie, brief pain inventory and McGill pain questionnaire [MPQ], PDQ-8 quality of life score, MDS-UPDRS scores, and nonmotor symptoms). 159 nondemented PD patients (disease duration 10.2 6 7.6 years) and 37 healthy controls were recruited in 4 centers. PDrelated pain was present in 122 patients (77%), with 24 (15%) suffering one or more syndromes at the same time. PD-related nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic pain was diagnosed in 87 (55%), 25 (16%), or 35 (22%), respectively. Pain unrelated to PD was present in 35 (22%) patients. Overall, PD-PCS severity score significantly correlated with pain’s Brief Pain Inventory and MPQ ratings, presence of dyskinesia and motor fluctuations, PDQ-8 scores, depression, and anxiety measures. Moderate intrarater and interrater reliability was observed. The PD-PCS is a valid and reliable tool for differentiating PD-related pain from PD-unrelated pain. It detects and scores mechanistic pain subtypes in a pragmatic and treatment-oriented approach, unifying previous classifications of PD-pain.Fil: Mylius, Veit. Universitat Phillips; Alemania.

Feasibility and cost description of highly intensive rehabilitation involving new technologies in patients with post-acute stroke : a trial of the Swiss RehabTech Initiative

Background: There is a need to provide highly repetitive and intensive therapy programs for patients after stroke to improve sensorimotor impairment. The employment of technology-assisted training may facilitate access to individualized rehabilitation of high intensity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and acceptance of a high-intensity technology-assisted training for patients after stroke in the subacute or chronic phase and to establish its feasibility for a subsequent randomized controlled trial. Methods: A longitudinal, multi-center, single-group study was conducted in four rehabilitation clinics. Patients participated in a high-intensity 4-week technology-assisted trainings consisting of 3 to 5 training days per week and at least 5 training sessions per day with a duration of 45min each. Feasibility was evaluated by examining recruitment, intervention-related outcomes (adherence, subjectively perceived efort and efectiveness, adverse events), patient related outcomes, and efciency gains. Secondary outcomes focused on all three domains of the International Classifcation of Functioning Disability and Health. Data were analyzed and presented in a descriptive manner. Results: In total, 14 patients after stroke were included. Participants exercised between 12 and 21days and received between 28 and 82 (mean 46±15) technology-assisted trainings during the study period, which corresponded to 2 to 7 daily interventions. Treatment was safe. No serious adverse events were reported. Minor adverse events were related to tiredness and exertion. From baseline to the end of the intervention, patients improved in several functional performance assessments of the upper and lower extremities. The efciency gains of the trainings amounted to 10% to 58%, in particular for training of the whole body and for walking training in severely impaired patients. Conclusions: Highly intensive technology-assisted training appears to be feasible for in- and outpatients in the subacute or chronic phase after stroke. Further clinical trials are warranted in order to define the most comprehensive approach to highly intensive technology-assisted training and to investigate its efficacy in patients with neurological disorders

Supply market uncertainty:exploring consequences and responses within sustainability transitions

Often it is commercial, not technological, factors which hinder the adoption of potentially valuable innovations. In energy policy, much attention is given to analysing and incentivising consumer demand for renewable energy, but new technologies may also need new supply markets, to provide products and services to build, operate and maintain the innovative technology. This paper addresses the impact of supply constraints on the long-term viability of sustainability related innovations, using the case of bioenergy from organic waste. Uncertainties in the pricing and availability of feedstock (i.e. waste) may generate market deadlock and deter potential investors. We draw on prior research to conceptualise the problem, and identify what steps might be taken to address it. We propose a research agenda aimed at purchasing and supply scholars and centred on the need to understand better the interplay between market evolution and supply uncertainty and 'market shaping' - how stakeholders can legitimately influence supply market evolution - to support the adoption of sustainability related innovation
