Published: November 2018

El análisis económico de las opciones tecnológicas es un complemento a la investigación biofísica. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo estimar las ventajas económicas de incorporar nuevas variedades de algodón, para disminuir los costos de producción del algodonero en el Valle del Sinú, departamento de Córdoba y tornar el cultivo más competitivo; ya que la superficie cosechada en Colombia en el 2015 disminuyó en 39%, debido a los altos costos de producción de más de 5 millones por hectárea y bajos rendimientos de 680 kilos de fibra de algodón por hectárea con pérdidas $1.157.827 pesos colombianos. Entre los limitantes de la producción se encuentran los ataques de plagas y enfermedades especialmente el picudo del algodón (Anthonomus grandis) y la ramolosis los cuales participan en el 60 % de los costos de producción. Se concluye que la introducción de genotipos con tolerancia a los mencionados problemas fitosanitarios, contribuirá en el incremento de la productividad del cultivo.

Objetivo: Comparação do desempenho de carteiras montadas de acordo com os métodos Paridade de Risco (PR), Mínima Variância (MV) e Equal Weighting (EW) no mercado brasileiro em períodos pré, pós e durante a crise internacional de 2008.Fundamento: Seleção de carteiras por meio do método MV tem base no artigo de Markowitz (1952). O método de alocação EW, estudado por Choueifaty e Coignard (2008), é o único portfólio na fronteira eficiente no caso de todos os ativos possuírem a mesma correlação. Maillard, Roncalli e Teïletche (2010) apresentam a metodologia PR como a mais eficiente na alocação de ativos por equalizar os pesos de cada ativo de acordo com sua contribuição ao risco do portfólio.Método: Foram construídas carteiras anuais com dados diários de todos os ativos brasileiros contemplando o período de 2007 a 2013. Foi utilizado o Índice de Sharpe (IS) para avaliar o desempenho das carteiras nos períodos anteriores, durante e após a crise. Resultados: O tradicional método MV apresenta maiores valores de IS em aproximadamente 70% das vezes. Já o método PR foi mais eficaz em períodos de crise. Contribuições: A comparação do desempenho de diferentes metodologias na construção de carteiras de risco brasileiras em períodos com diferentes volatilidades é a principal contribuição do trabalho. O fato de que o método EW apresentou a pior relação risco retorno em praticamente todos os períodos da amostra enseja ao mercado a busca por metodologias mais sofisticadas de alocação em ativos de risco.

OBJECTIVEWe assessed the excess medical expenditures for adults newly diagnosed with diabetes, for up to 10 years before and after diabetes diagnosis.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSUsing the 2001–2013 MarketScan data, we identified people with newly diagnosed diabetes among adults aged 25–64 years (diabetes cohort) and matched them with people who did not have diagnosed diabetes (control cohort) using 1:1 propensity score matching. We followed these two cohorts up to ±10 years from the index date, with annual matched cohort sizes ranging from 3,922 to 39,726 individuals. We estimated the yearly and cumulative excess medical expenditures of the diabetes cohorts before and after the diagnosis of diabetes.RESULTSThe per capita annual total excess medical expenditure for the diabetes cohort was higher for the entire 10 years prior to their index date, ranging between $1,043 in year −10 and $4,492 in year −1. Excess expenditure spiked in year 1 ($8,109), declined in year 2, and then increased steadily, ranging from $4,261 to $6,162 in years 2–10. The cumulative excess expenditure for the diabetes cohort during the entire 20 years of follow-up was $69,177 ($18,732 before and $50,445 after diagnosis).CONCLUSIONSPeople diagnosed with diabetes had higher medical expenditures compared with their counterparts, not only after diagnosis but also up to 10 years prior to diagnosis. Managing risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease before diagnosis, and for diabetes-related complications after diagnosis, could alleviate medical expenditure in people with diabetes.

OBJECTIVE
To determine the risk factors for severe hypoglycemia and the association between severe hypoglycemia and serious cardiovascular adverse events and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial (VADT).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This post hoc analysis of data from the VADT included 1,791 military veterans (age 60.5 ± 9.0 years) with suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c 9.4 ± 2.0%) of 11.5 ± 7.5 years disease duration with or without known cardiovascular disease and additional cardiovascular risk factors. Participants were randomized to intensive (HbA1c &lt;7.0%) versus standard (HbA1c &lt;8.5%) glucose control.

RESULTS
The rate of severe hypoglycemia in the intensive treatment group was 10.3 per 100 patient-years compared with 3.7 per 100 patient-years in the standard treatment group (P &lt; 0.001). In multivariable analysis, insulin use at baseline (P = 0.02), proteinuria (P = 0.009), and autonomic neuropathy (P = 0.01) were independent risk factors for severe hypoglycemia, and higher BMI was protective (P = 0.017). Severe hypoglycemia within the past 3 months was associated with an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events (P = 0.032), cardiovascular mortality (P = 0.012), and total mortality (P = 0.024). However, there was a relatively greater increased risk for total mortality in the standard group compared with the intensive group (P = 0.019). The association between severe hypoglycemia and cardiovascular events increased significantly as overall cardiovascular risk increased (P = 0.012).

CONCLUSIONS
Severe hypoglycemic episodes within the previous 3 months were associated with increased risk for major cardiovascular events and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality regardless of glycemic treatment group assignment. Standard therapy further increased the risk for all-cause mortality after severe hypoglycemia.

OBJECTIVE
Patients with type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy are targets for intervention to reduce high risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and deaths. This study compares risks of these outcomes in four international cohorts.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
In the 1990s and early 2000s, Caucasian patients with type 1 diabetes with persistent macroalbuminuria in chronic kidney disease stages 1–3 were identified in the Joslin Clinic (U.S., 432), Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy Study (FinnDiane) (Finland, 486), Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen (Denmark, 368), and INSERM (France, 232) and were followed for 3–18 years with annual creatinine measurements to ascertain ESRD and deaths unrelated to ESRD.

RESULTS
During 15,685 patient-years, 505 ESRD cases (rate 32/1,000 patient-years) and 228 deaths unrelated to ESRD (rate 14/1,000 patient-years) occurred. Risk of ESRD was associated with male sex; younger age; lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); higher albumin/creatinine ratio, HbA1c, and systolic blood pressure; and smoking. Risk of death unrelated to ESRD was associated with older age, smoking, and higher baseline eGFR. In adjusted analysis, ESRD risk was highest in Joslin versus reference FinnDiane (hazard ratio [HR] 1.44, P = 0.003) and lowest in Steno (HR 0.54, P &lt; 0.001). Differences in eGFR slopes paralleled risk of ESRD. Mortality unrelated to ESRD was lowest in Joslin (HR 0.68, P = 0.003 vs. the other cohorts). Competing risk did not explain international differences in the outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS
Despite almost universal renoprotective treatment, progression to ESRD and mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes with advanced nephropathy are still very high and differ among countries. Finding causes of these differences may help reduce risk of these outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine and identify variables associated with outcomes of surgical repair of congenital palatal defects in dogs.
DESIGN Retrospective case series with nested observational study.
ANIMALS 26 dogs that underwent surgical repair of congenital palatal defects at 2 veterinary teaching hospitals from 2007 to 2016.
PROCEDURES Data were collected from medical records regarding dog age and body weight at the time of surgical defect repair, prior surgical history, skull type (brachycephalic, mesocephalic, or dolichocephalic), surgical technique used for defect repair, and defect severity. Functional outcome as well as frequency and location of oronasal fistula (ONF) formation were recorded. These outcomes were compared among various groups.
RESULTS Surgical defect repair achieved functional success in 22 of the 26 (85%) dogs. An ONF formed after initial repair in 13 (50%) dogs, and the most common location was the hard palate. Hard palate ONF formation was more common in dogs > 8 months of age at the time of initial repair; ONF at the junction between the hard and soft palates was more common in dogs > 8 months of age at the time of initial repair and in dogs with a history of failed surgical repair. An unsuccessful functional outcome was more common in dogs weighing < 1 kg (2.2 lb) at the time of initial repair.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Patient age, patient size, and defect characteristics should be taken into consideration when planning and assessing prognoses for surgical repair of congenital palatal defects in dogs.

A participação pública no Licenciamento Ambiental (LA) apoiado em Avaliação de Impacto Ambiental é de extrema importância, tendo a função de envolver a comunidade nas tomadas de decisão, pois ela é afetada pelos impactos de um empreendimento. Assim, este estudo objetivou avaliar a participação nos processos de LA tramitados na Superintendência Regional de Regularização Ambiental do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba. Para isto, foi realizado um levantamento da realização da audiência pública nos processos entre 2009-2015 e a discussão de um estudo de caso, o processo de licenciamento da Vale Fertilizantes em Patrocínio/MG. Dos 79 processos de licenciamento que abriram edital para solicitação da audiência, apenas 18% tiveram a convocação da mesma. No caso analisado, percebeu-se uma intensa participação popular, mas que não resultou em nenhuma contribuição para o processo decisório. Assim, concluiu-se que a participação dentro do LA no Triângulo Mineiro ainda é frágil, necessitando de aperfeiçoamentos. A B S T R A C T Public participation in Environmental Licensing (EL) with Environmental Impact Assessment is extremely important, having the function of involving communities in decision making, as it is affected by impacts of a development. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the participation in the EL processes processed in the Superintendência Regional de Regularização Ambiental do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba. For this, a survey of the public hearing was conducted in the cases between 2009-2015 and the discussion of a case study, Vale Fertilizantes' corrective licensing process in Patrocínio/MG. Of the 79 licensing processes that opened the notice to request the public hearing, only 18% had this event. In the case study analyzed, there was an intense population participation, but it did not result in any contribution to the decision-making process. Thus, it can be concluded that the participation within the EL is still fragile, in need of improvement. Keywords: Environmental Impact Assessment, participation, public hearing.

O Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) monitora fluxos da Radiação Ultravioleta (R-UV), em solo, desde 1990, através de uma rede de espectrofotômetros Brewer no Brasil, Bolívia, Chile e Antártida. O espectrofotômetro é reconhecido pela Organização Mundial de Meteorologia (OMM) e pelo programa “Global Atmosphere Watch” (GAW) como padrão para medições de ozônio e R-UV. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever e avaliar o funcionamento do instrumento no processo de coleta da R-UV, ao mesmo tempo em que apresenta metodologia desenvolvida para validação de dados referentes ao período de 1997 a 2012 nas cidades de La Paz, Bolívia e Natal, Brasil. Avaliou-se o funcionamento da parte óptica com destaque nas Lâmpadas Padrão (SL) dos espectrofotômetros. Observaram-se desgastes naturais no funcionamento dos instrumentos. Utilizou-se o modelo matemático de transferência radiativa TUV “Tropospherical Ultraviolet Visible Model” para simular uma base de dados do índice de radiação ultravioleta (IUV). Por meio de análise de regressão linear entre as duas bases, realizou-se o ajuste da série temporal do Brewer (variável preditora) por meio da série temporal do TUV (variável resposta). Este review apresenta algoritmo para validação dos registros e um roteiro para a pré-análise dos dados coletados.
