Outcomes of a smart-phone delivered diabetes prevention program for patients with prediabetes: 1-year real-world service evaluation (Preprint)
Authors: Summers Charlotte
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND

Prediabetes is the state of elevated blood glucose levels with glycaemic parameters above normal but below the (type 2) diabetes threshold. Prediabetes is considered a state of high risk for developing type 2 diabetes with yearly transition rate of 5%-10% to type 2 diabetes. There are almost 86 million adults with prediabetes in the United States alone. The world-wide prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT; a parameter of prediabetes) in 2010 was estimated to be 343 million (7.8%). Prediabetes is a global burden, with the International Diabetes Federation projecting an increase in prevalence of prediabetes to 471 million globally by 2035.

OBJECTIVE

Our objective was to evaluate the 1-year outcomes of the smart-phone delivered Low Carb Program for Prediabetes, a nutritionally focused, 12-session educational intervention for glycaemic control and weight loss for adults with prediabetes (i.e. a type 2 diabetes prevention program). The program reinforces carbohydrate restriction using behavioural techniques including goal setting, peer support, and behavioural self-monitoring.

METHODS

The study used a quasi-experimental research design comprised of an open-label, single-arm, pre-post intervention using a sample of convenience. We followed all of the 260 adults with prediabetes who had activated their referral to the program as a result of an NHS consultation between December 2018 and March 2019 and followed them for 12 months (N=260; mean age 44.7, SD 9.48 years; 36.1% (94/260) women; mean glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 6.25%, SD 0.11%; mean body weight 77.1kg, SD 17.5kg; taking mean 0.41, SD 0.49 diabetes medications).

RESULTS

Of the 260 participants followed, 221 (85%) individuals reported outcomes at 12 months. 122 (46.9%) completed 80% or more of lessons of the program. Of the 260 participants with a starting HbA1c at or above the prediabetes threshold of 6.0%, 124 (49.6%) reduced their HbA1c to below the threshold. Over a third (33.8%, 88/260) of all participants lost at least 5% of their body weight. Overall, glycaemic control and weight loss improved, especially for participants who completed all modules of the program. For example, participants who engaged in at least 10 of the 12 weekly modules reduced their HbA1c from 6.3% to 5.8% (P<.001) and lost an average of 4.38kg or 5.4% of their body weight (P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

A smart-phone delivered program that teaches a carbohydrate-reduced diet to adults with prediabetes with behaviour change support can be scalable and effective for glycaemic control, weight loss and can act as an engaging intervention for diabetes prevention.

Published: March 2020

Objective: Origanum compactum is one of the most important medicinal species in terms of ethnobotany in Morocco. It attracts the attention of several research works; however, its chemical composition under local conditions is not well documented. Here, we aimed at determining essential oil chemical composition, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities of organic extracts of O. compactum.

Methods: Antimicrobial activities were assessed against four strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans). Antioxidant activities were estimated by radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity. Polyphenols and flavonoids were determined. Chemical composition was screened using gas chromatography.

Results: Our results showed that yield extracts varied significantly among solvents and ranged from 10.30% (n-hexane) to 31.70% (methanolic). Methanolic extracts had the highest values of yield, polyphenols, and flavonoids, while n-hexane extracts showed the lowest values of yield and polyphenols. Regarding antimicrobial activities, E. coli showed the most important activity. Concerning antioxidant activities, n-hexane extracts had the most important activity. The phytochemical screening revealed 12 compounds. Among them, γ-Terpinene, o-Cymene, and carvacrol were the major compounds (around 73% of total chemical compounds).

Conclusion: It could be concluded that the studied plant might be a promising source of chemical compounds responsible for important biological activities.

Entretanto, os anestésicos locais disponíveis no mercado apresentam-se sob a forma de soluções com composições e concentrações variadas, tanto com relação ao sal anestésico, vasoconstritor e seu preservativo. Talvez, pela grande variedade de associações, possa surgir diversas dúvidas quanto à melhor escolha durante a prática clínica diária, principalmente quando o mesmo apresenta algum tipo de doença sistêmica. Com isso, o objetivo desse trabalho é realizar uma revisão de literatura das melhores indicações e possíveis contraindicações de soluções  anestésicas locais disponíveis no mercado nacional, relacionando com doenças sistêmicas que comumente são atendidas na clínica odontológica.Palavras – Chave: Odontologia; Anestésico local; Cirurgia oral. ABSTRACT The use of anesthetic solutions is performed almost daily by dental professionals. However, the local anesthetics available on the market come in the form of solutions with varying compositions and concentrations, both with respect to the anesthetic salt, vasoconstrictor and its preservative. Perhaps, due to the wide variety of associations, several doubts may arise regarding the best choice during daily clinical practice, especially when it presents some type of systemic disease. Thus, the objective of this work is to carry out a literature review of the best indications and possible contraindications for local anesthetic solutions available in the national market, relating to systemic diseases that are commonly seen in the dental clinic. Key words: Dentistry; Local anesthetic; Oral surgery.
EPIDEMIOLOGY AND SURVIVAL ANALYSIS OF MOUTH AND OROPHARYNGEAL CANCER PATIENTS TREATED AT A PUBLIC HOSPITAL IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL.
Authors: Nogueira de Paula Barros Jackeline
Published: March 2020

AbstractMouth and oropharyngeal cancers (CAs) are considered to be global public health problems, with high psychosocial impacts and high costs. Developing an epidemiological profile and examining the survival rate among patients with CAs of the mouth and oropharynx are important for the development of public policy. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to evaluate mouth and oropharyngeal CA patients treated at the Municipal Hospital Salgado Filho in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil between 2007 and 2017. Patient data regarding gender, age, ethnicity, diagnosis, anatomical site affected by the tumor, and habits were obtained from patient records and reports, and data regarding the deaths of patients were obtained from records and the Mortality Information System. After tabulation, data were descriptively analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, and the log-rank test was used for the comparison of variables. Survival rates at 5 and 8 years were 71.1% and 48.8%, respectively. There were no significant differences among survival rates according to age, sex, ethnicity, or the anatomical location of tumors. The survival rates among mouth and oropharyngeal CA patients in this study were comparable with the results reported in developed countries.Keywords: Oral neoplasms, epidemiology, survival rate;
How to increase job satisfaction and organisational commitment in the ICT sector through job design
Authors: Bogicevic-Milikic Biljana , Cuckovic Milica
Published: March 2020

The paper investigates the relationship between job design and workrelated
attitudes (job satisfaction and organisational commitment) in the Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. We use data collected via an
online questionnaire (using the Google Forms platform) from 97 employees
working in the ICT sector in Serbia. The data was collected between February
and June 2019. The analysis shows that job design is a predictor of both job
satisfaction and organisational commitment. Of the five investigated job
dimensions (Skill variety, Task identity, Task significance, Autonomy,
Feedback from job), ?Autonomy? was the most positively associated with job
satisfaction (r=0.629) but was only moderately associated with organisational
commitment (r=0.4). The other job dimensions were found to be weakly
correlated with the investigated work attitudes, although the relationships
were positive. Furthermore, the results indicate that work engagement
mediates both investigated relationships, providing a deeper insight into how
job design is translated into positive work-related attitudes. We discuss the
possible managerial implications of the ?Autonomy? dimension and the
interventions in work engagement required to positively influence
work-related attitude formation and management in the ICT sector, and we
distinguish between ?bottom-up? and ?top-down? interventions.

In 2018, a few sequencing studies were published revealing the existence of two monophyletic clusters within the C. diphtheriae species, meaning that this species can be divided into two subspecies: C. diphtheriae subsp. diphtheriae and C. diphtheriae subsp. lausannense. The objective of our study was to describe the genotype and the phenotype of 2 nontoxigenic C. diphtheriae strains isolated in Russia in 2017–2018, which were classified by us as C. diphtheriae subsp. lausannense based on the aggregated data yielded by a variety of techniques, including microbiological and molecular genetic techniques, as well as a bioinformatic search for subspecies-specific genes in the publicly available genomes of C. diphtheriae. The isolated strains had morphological and biochemical characteristics of C. diphtheriae. The strains were assigned to the MLST type ST199 included in the clonal complex associated with subsp. lausannense. PCR revealed that both analyzed strains of C. diphtheriae subsp. lausannense carried the ptsI gene encoding phosphoenolpyruvate-protein phosphotransferase and did not carry the narG gene encoding the synthesis of nitrate reductase subunits, whereas the strains of C. diphtheriae subsp. diphtheriae had the narG gene and did not have ptsI. We experimentally proved the ability of lausannense strains to ferment N-acetylglucosamine. Our findings expand the knowledge of the biological diversity of C. diphtheriae and indicate the need for estimating the spread of these microorganisms in Russia, as well as their pathogenic potential.
Roça como marca registrada no Brasil: novos significados do rural brasileiro
Authors: Silveira Lidiane Nunes , Fiúza Ana Louise Carvalho
Published: March 2020

Este artigo buscou identificar mudanças nos significados do termo roça no Brasil analisando 325 marcas registradas entre 1965 e 2014, utilizando-se análise de conteúdo de frequência, léxico-sintática e categórica (Bardin, 1977). Observou-se a ampliação de significados, inicialmente de produção agrícola e campo, para natureza, nostalgia e sofisticação, e, mais recentemente, tradição e regionalismos. Essas mudanças de significados do termo roça refletem as transformações no campo brasileiro, majoritariamente agrícola nos anos 1960, multissetorial nos anos 2000. Sugere-se que roça pode funcionar como uma categoria para se refletir sobre o rural no Brasil.
La ciencia entre los modernistas: La Quincena. Revista de Letras (1893-1902)
Authors: Quereilhac Soledad
Published: March 2020

El presente artículo analiza la presencia, las apropiaciones y la resignificación del discurso científico en una revista argentina vinculada al ámbito literario del Modernismo: La Quincena. Revista de Letras (1893-1902), dirigida por el escritor Guillermo Stock. En La Quincena no sólo es posible hallar numerosos relatos ficcionales, artículos y ensayos vinculados a las ciencias de la época, sino también diferentes resonancias de su discurso. En su amplio mosaico de textos, se verifica que, en los años de entresiglos, la potencia del discurso científico-positivista no sólo repercutió en ámbitos expertos, sino que también decantó hacia otras áreas de la cultura ajenas al quehacer científico, pero profundamente atraídas por su imaginario, por su potencial proyección futura y por su juego hipotético con la fantasía.
Los exiliados argentinos bajo la óptica del Estado terrorista (1976-1983)
Authors: Jensen Silvina Inés
Published: March 2020

EEste artículo es un aporte al estudio de las políticas exiliares del Estado terrorista y a la implicación del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores en tareas ligadas a la gestión punitiva de los desplazamientos de los argentinos que querían salir o deseaban entrar a territorio nacional. A partir del fondo OEA-ONU del Archivo Histórico de la Cancillería argentina, el trabajo se focaliza en las prácticas rutinarias y burocráticas del Estado dictatorial orientadas a: 1. que los argentinos que habían huido del país como consecuencia de la escalada represiva tras el golpe de Estado del 24 de marzo de 1976 no obtuvieran la documentación de viaje necesaria para llegar a un destino seguro en terceros países; y 2. que los argentinos detenidos en las cárceles legales de la dictadura y que habían salido de territorio nacional haciendo uso del derecho de “opción” no pudieran regresar al país en vigencia del estado de sitio.

Tree ferns dominate secondary succession in abandoned pineapple plantations around Manu National Park, Peru
Authors: Schilling Olivia , Tejedor Gutierrez Adrian
Published: March 2020

Habitat management and restoration in buffer zones of national parks is critical for maintaining ecosystem services and biological connectivity in and around the parks’ core protected areas. Vegetation succession in abandoned plantations in buffer zones may take different paths that reach climax ecosystems in more or less time depending on the conditions of initial succession, thus enhancing or hindering biological connectivity and ecosystem services. This study documents the dominance of tree ferns in the initial stages of vegetation succession on abandoned pineapple plantations on the Andean foothills around Manu National Park, Peru, and discusses the role it may have on ecosystem restoration. Four years after abandonment, tree fern gametophytes grow under the shade of pineapple plants and melastomes. After 6-10 years of succession, the vegetation is dominated by a tree fern community composed of at least eight species, of which the most common are by far Cyathea delgadii and Cyathea microdonta. Cyathea microdonta functions as a short-lived pioneer, reaching its peak of live stem density in 6 to10 years and dying off in older plots. Cyathea delgadii, on the other hand, continues to grow and persists beyond 10 years of succession. Areas adjacent to abandoned pineapple fields have few tree ferns and higher tree species diversity, suggesting that pineapple agriculture and the resulting tree fern community may be a longer pathway to reach climax vegetation stages than other types of plantation.

Published: March 2020

Up-to-date nature tourism trends witness a growth of customer-oriented unique experiences. The present paper explores the potential of treehouses in nature tourism development in Latvia by providing unique and authentic experiences. Using the method of practical modelling several distinct treehouse construction methods are compared considering regional differences and different use cases. To achieve the set goal, three separate practical modelling workshops in different municipalities in Latvia were organised during the summer holidays of 2016–2018. History and construction types of treehouses were analysed as well as 30 experts from the local municipalities, treehouse companies, workshop participants, clients and customers were interviewed. The presented study is based on the 4-year experience of participation in several European treehouse workshops and organisation of the local treehouse activities and events in Latvia as well as learnings from managing an outdoor recreation company “Movement Spontaneous” and co-founding the Latvian Outdoor Association “Outdoor Club Latvia” in 2018.
The Recycling of News in Swedish Newspapers: Reused quotations and reports in articles about the crisis in the Swedish Academy in 2018
Authors: Skärlund Sanna
Published: March 2020

Newspapers in Sweden are experiencing reduced revenues due to decreases in advertisement sales and reader subscriptions. Given such circumstances, one way of being more cost-effective is for journalists to recycle pieces of texts already published by others. In this article, I investigate to what extent and how the four biggest newspapers in Sweden do this. Following a close reading of 120 articles about the crisis in the Swedish Academy in 2018, I found that the newspapers included recycled quotations attributed to other media to a great extent. Moreover, recycled statements from other media were often intermingled with quotes from new interviews; however, social media were not used as sources very often. A discussion of the problematic aspects of “a culture of self-referentiality” concludes the article.

Semantyczna historia obieżyświata
Authors: Waniakowa Jadwiga
Published: March 2020

The article concerns the semantic development of the compositum obieżyświat ‘a person who likes to travel a lot’. It is interesting that the first attestation of the word in Old Polish (from the 15 th century) had a botanical meaning ‘Bupleurum rotundifolium L.’. The form obieżyświat was then the translation of the Old Latin plant names garowaga and girambula meaning ‘something that moves around’. The contemporary meaning of the compositum obieżyświat appeared only in the second half of the 19 th century.

Published: March 2020

Com o passar dos anos, a indústria da construção civil busca métodos de otimizar os serviços através de novas técnicas e novos materiais. A argamassa estabilizada se tornou uma ótima opção para ganhos de prazo, custo e produtividade. Porém, a falta de normas específicas e pouco conhecimento do material faz com que o produto final tenha resultados irregulares na sua fabricação. Este trabalho tem por objetivo mostrar a viabilidade técnica do uso de argamassas estabilizadas para revestimentos externos, analisando sua capacidade de aderência através do ensaio de resistência de aderência à tração e comparando com os resultados exigidos pelas normas vigentes. Foi verificada a aderência da argamassa de emboço em uma obra localizada em Recife/PE em duas situações distintas: ambiente externo com e sem limpeza da base. Ao fim do ensaio comprovou-se a qualidade do produto final do revestimento realizado conforme a ABNT NBR 7200:1998, com a realização do tratamento de limpeza, pois todos os valores obtidos deste trecho foram aprovados e satisfatórios, entretanto não foi detectado o incremento de tensão proveniente desse tratamento.
Construção de Controlador Lógico Programável de Baixo Custo para Fins Didáticos
Authors: Neves Yuri , Freitas Diogo
Published: March 2020

Os laboratórios de automação industrial de instituições de ensino público são deficitários em relação ao número de controladores lógico programáveis (CLP). A proposta deste trabalho é o desenvolvimento de um CLP de baixo custo para aplicações didáticas nestas instituições. O circuito eletrônico foi baseado na plataforma de desenvolvimento Arduino, e foi utilizado o software de uso livre Ladder Maker para a programação. O circuito eletrônico foi projetado com componentes de menor custo possível. A confiabilidade dos componentes eletrônicos utilizados não foi de análise criteriosa para que o custo de fabricação não se elevasse. Realizou-se uma comparação do custo total do projeto do CLP de baixo custo com o custo de aquisição de CLPs compactos à venda no mercado, e foi possível comprovar que o custo fica em torno de 15% comparado aos equipamentos de empresas tradicionais. Mesmo com menor confiabilidade, a vantagem do valor de confecção do CLP proposto se sobressai, visto que sua aplicação se destina a fins didáticos.
Nanocluster Growth and Coalescence Modulated by Ligands
Authors: Suvlu Dylan , Farshad Mohsen , Rasaiah Jayendran C.
Published: March 2020

We describe a model of nanocluster formation that incorporates competition between ligand adsorption and nanocluster growth. Growth occurs through the addition of a metal-ligand complex and coalescence of nanoclusters. The competition between ligands for binding sites on the nanoclusters and growth of the nanoclusters through coalescence creates interesting growth pathways. The patterns are reminiscent of those observed in the synthesis of gold thiolate nanoclusters. For a particular set of rate coefficients, described herein, we observe the formation of a kinetically stable nanocluster that participates in coalescent growth. This determines the size interval of the resulting nanoclusters in the size distribution. The kinetically stable cluster can be tuned by modifying the functional form of the number of surface sites on the nanoclusters, thereby changing the growth pathway and the final sizes of the clusters.

Published: March 2020

Abstract: The present study clarifies the effect of locally isolated Eimeria species on chickens in central Vietnam. Oocysts of Eimeria species were isolated from feces suspected to be infected with coccidiosis in 3 farms in Huong Thuy district, Thua Thien Hue province. A total of 54 2-week-old chickens were randomly allocated to 2 groups: 3 replicates containing 9 chickens in each replicate. The chicken in group 1 were orally inoculated with 2×104 isolated oocysts of Eimeria species, while the chickens in group 2 were inoculated with PBS as a control. Growth performance, oocyst output, gross lesions, and histopathological lesions were measured at 5, 10 and 28 days after infection. The chicks in group 1 showed general signs of ruffled feathers, anorexia, huddling together with diarrhea and/or bloody dropping from 4–7 days post-infection. Feed intake, growth performance and body weight in group 1 were lower than those of the control chicks. The oocyst was detected in the feces of chicks in group 1 from 6–14 days post-infection, among them, the number of oocysts reach the peak at 8 days post-infection. At day 5 post-infection, the most damaged part of the intestine is the ceca with a large amount of blood in the ceca content. The histopathological lesions were detected clearly by HE staining at day 5 and 10 post-infection. In conclusion, the locally isolated oocysts of Eimeria species have high virulence to the chickens.

Liên bang Đức 1815-1866 là một tập hợp của các nhà nước có chủ quyền. Sự tồn tại của các nhà nước này chính là nguồn gốc của vấn đề nước Đức và đối tượng của quá trình thống nhất nước Đức 1848-1871. Tuy nhiên, thực tế các nhà nước này không phải của tất cả các thành viên cộng đồng. Đó là các công cụ chính trị của giới quý tộc phong kiến được dùng để cai trị cộng đồng các cư dân nói tiếng Đức ở Trung Âu. Giới quý tộc phong kiến nói chung và các vương triều phong kiến nói riêng vì thế cũng chính là lực cản của quá trình tiến lên hiện đại của nước Đức giữa thế kỷ XIX. Trong hoàn cảnh như thế, thông thường giai cấp tư sản là người lãnh đạo quá trình hiện đại hoá dân tộc như trường hợp của các nước phương Tây khác với sự ủng hộ hết mình của quần chúng lao không. Tuy nhiên, ở nước Đức đối tượng của vấn đề nước Đức cũng chính là chìa khoá của quá trình thống nhất nước này những năm 1848-1871.

This research was about the important contribution of SMEs to Indonesian economy in reality and their weak management accounting functions. This research aimed to find out the factors influencing SMEs’ decision to use outsourced accounting advisory services and the effect of such use towards SMEs’ performance as from Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and Resource Based View (RBV) perspectives. In this research, the population was comprised of manufacturing SMEs ini Malang. The researchers then took the sample using purposive sampling method. Meanwhile, the criteria to determine the sample were based on the definition of SME in Indonesia. Furthermore, the researchers conducted survey by distributing 270 questionnaires to collect the data. Using SEM (AMOS) analysis, the researchers successfully figured out that asset specification, environment uncertainty, technical competence, and competition level acted as major factors that affected SMEs’ decision to use outsourced accounting services. Meanwhile, the researchers found that behavior uncertainty and trust in accountants did not have significant impact on such SMEs’ decision. The result of SEM analysis showed that outsourced accounting advisory services significantly provided positive effect on SMEs’ performance

The purpose of this study was to determine the mediating role of the tourists’ citizenship behavior between the value co-creation with customers and customer satisfaction. The data of the study was collected through a survey administered to the tourists who visited Antalya and purchased the touristic products through the co-creation. Confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling analyses, and SPSS process extension analysis were carried out on 252 valid survey data collected from the sample. The results of the study showed that the value co-creation with customers was clustered in two factors: (i) experience quality value and (ii) individual value. The tourists’ citizenship behavior consisted of four factors: (i) advocacy behavior, (ii) tolerance behavior, (iii) helping behavior and (iv) feedback behavior. According to another result of the study, the value co-creation with customers had a statistically significant and positive direct effect on customer satisfaction and the dimensions constituting the citizenship behavior of the tourists. Furthermore, it was concluded that the mediating effects of the advocacy and tolerance dimensions on the relationship between the value co-creation with customers and customer satisfaction were found to be statistically significant and positive.

Larval, or tadpole-stage Xenopus laevis frogs are a popular research model for developmental biology and disease studies. Existing euthanasia guidance documents offer recommendations for both eggs and adult stages, yet do not specifically address the larval stage. Data evaluating
effective euthanasia methods for groups of X. laevis tadpoles would therefore be useful. The goal of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of various immersion euthanasia procedures on tadpoles: tricaine methanesulfonate (MS222) at 6 g/L, eugenol at 800 μL/L and rapid chilling
(2 to 4 °C). We also evaluated tadpoles at various developmental stages (NF stages 46, 47 and 49). Tadpoles (n = 70) were exposed to euthanasia solution for 15 min, and controls (n = 40) were placed in housing tank water for 15 min. All animals were then placed in recovery
tanks containing housing tank water for 4 h to confirm irreversibility of each agent. Cessation of the heartbeat was assessed at the end of euthanasia solution exposure and at each hour thereafter. We found that immersion in a 6 g/L solution of MS222 resulted in 100% euthanasia of all larval
stages tested. Conversely, eugenol produced variable euthanasia rates that were affected by both age group and batches of stock solutions. Rapid chilling was completely ineffective as a euthanasia method in our study. Based on our findings, we recommend MS222 as an effective and practical
means of euthanizing large numbers of X. laevis tadpoles.

La clasificación de las etapas productivas y la salud de un animal o del rodeo pueden establecerse por los cambios observables en los dientes incisivos y la determinación de los valores hematológicos. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de los cambios del número de incisivos permanentes sobre parámetros morfométricos y bioquímicos sanguíneos relacionados al metabolismo óseo en animales de 32 meses de edad. La investigación fue realizada en Corrientes, Argentina. Búfalas Murrah de 29 meses de edad (n=30), con dentadura decidua completa, fueron pesadas y mantenidas por 90 días en pasturas naturales. Al final del período se evaluó el número de incisivos permanentes erupcionados, la cantidad y nivel de erupción de piezas dentales, peso (PV), perímetro torácico (PT) y condición corporal (CC), tomándose muestras de sangre para determinar los valores de calcio, fósforo, magnesio y fosfatasa alcalina. La información obtenida fue analizada mediante estadística descriptiva, análisis de la varianza y correlación mediante el test de Pearson. El 37% mostró dos dientes, el 16% uno (derecho o izquierdo) y el 47% no presentó incisivos permanentes. Los valores de PV (kg) y PT (cm) para los individuos con incisivos deciduos, con uno o dos incisivos permanentes, fueron PV: 425,36 ± 16,13; 456 ± 17,67 y 426,64 ± 12,91 (p = 0,462) y PT: 190 ± 7,66; 197,20 ± 4,76; 189,91 ± 8,9 (p = 0,187) respectivamente, sin ser estadísticamente significativos. La magnesemia fue significativamente mayor en los animales sin incisivos y con un diente, comparados con aquellos con dos dientes erupcionados (r = -0,45; p < 0,05). Ninguna de las otras variables bioquímicas fueron influenciadas por la cantidad de piezas dentales (p ≥ 0,05). La condición corporal, así como las variables morfométricas y bioquímicas exploradas, no se vieron afectadas por las modificaciones de la cronometría dental, a excepción del magnesio sérico.

El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar el efecto antihelmíntico de ivermectina y doramectina en bovinos desmamantes de las ciudades de Abaí y Caapucú (departamentos de Caazapá y Paraguari, Paraguay). A tal efecto se tomaron muestras de 40 bovinos con cargas parasitarias superiores a 400 huevos por gramo de heces, divididos en dos grupos de veinte animales cada uno. Un grupo fue medicado con ivermectina y el otro con doramectina, en ambos casos a dosis de 0,2 mg/kg de peso, vía subcutánea. Las dosis se repitieron 15 días después. Los análisis coprológicos (McMaster) se efectuaron a los 15, 30, 45 y 60 días. Al final, en los animales tratados con ivermectina y doramectina se constataron respectivamente niveles de 83 y 8 huevos por gramo de heces (p<0,05). Si bien ambos fármacos desencadenaron la disminución de huevos en materia fecal, el efecto de doramectina fue acentuadamente superior al de ivermectina.
