title: Resistance of ewes to gastrointestinal nematode infections during the peripartum and dry periods and the performance of their lambs

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the resistance of Texel (Tx) and Ile de France (IF) sheep to gastrointestinal nematode infections in the periparturient period and after weaning, and the performance of their lambs. Fecal samples were collected from 19 IF and 17 Texel ewes to determine fecal egg counts (FEC) and larval cultures were prepared to determine the prevalence of nematodes. The ewes were weighed to determine body weight (BW) and blood samples were taken to determine the packed cell volume (PCV) and plasm protein values (PPV). The ewes were classified into two groups by FEC (heavy and moderate infection). The IF presented higher FECs than Tx 28 and 14 days before parturition; 14, 28, and 56 days after parturition; and 28 days after weaning (P&lt;0.05). In the weaning and dry periods, the IF presented higher PCVs than Tx (P&lt;0.05). The PPV did not differ between the groups (P&gt;0.05). The IF presented a higher BW than Tx 14, 28, and 42 days after parturition, and in the weaning and dry periods (P&lt;0.05). The ewes of both breeds classified as moderately infected had the highest BW at weaning (P&lt;0.05). IF ewes with a moderate infection produced weaning lambs that were heavier than those of Tx with the same level of infection (P&lt;0.05). Overall, Tx ewes presented a better ability to withstand infections during the periparturient period and after weaning. Although the IF ewes presented the highest FEC and more intense periparturient rise, they managed to maintain their level of production.

title: Determining anthelmintic residues in goat milk in Brazil

description: SUMMARY Anthelmintics are used to combat nematodes. The misuse of anthelmintics can raise the cost of milk production. The objective of this research was to determine the presence of anthelmintics in goat milk. Twenty goats were used, divided into four groups of five animals: I- animals treated with an ivermectin-based anthelmintic; II- animals treated with moxidectin; III- animals treated with levamisole hydrochloride; and IV: animals treated with albendazole. Milk samples were collected individually: before, and 1, 2, 3, 15 and 21 days after administration of the anthelmintics. Determination of anthelmintic residues was performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). According to the results, there was an exponential effect (P&lt;0.05) for ivermectin and moxidectin. Moxidectin was the anthelmintic that left a residue in the milk for the longest time, up to 21 days. However, with all the anthelmintics researched, residues were below the maximum limit recommended by the inspecting agencies.

title: Relation between oral health and hansen’s disease reactions in a hyperendemic city for hansen’s disease

description: Abstract Background Poor oral health conditions are being considered as harmful for people affected by Hansen’s disease, since they contribute to worsening the clinical condition of these individuals. Objective This study aims to evaluate the oral health conditions of individuals attended by a specialized service in the city of Sobral, Ceará, and to compare two groups (with and without Hansen’s disease reaction) regarding oral conditions. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out at the Ambulatório de Hanseníase in the city of Sobral, Ceará, Brazil, with 56 patients being treated. An epidemiological survey was conducted on oral health and an interview that collected information on oral health conditions, socioeconomic data, use of dental services and perception between the disease and oral health. For the statistical analysis between the groups, a bivariate analysis was performed, followed by a multivariate analysis. Results Predominance was the male gender, low level of schooling and multibacillary diagnosis. Despite the statistically significant relationship between presence of Hansen’s disease reaction and the presence of dental caries, need for exodontia and / or endodontics, gingival bleeding, dental calculus and periodontal pocket, only the latter had a significant association (p = 0.019) in the multivariate analysis. Conclusion The participants of this study presented poor oral health conditions, being worse in those who presented Hansen’s disease reactions.

title: The Family Health Strategy, a strong model of Primary Health Care that delivers results

description: ABSTRACT This article uses the health systems framework of the World Health Organization to review and synthesize evidence on the impact of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) within the concepts of access, financial protection, quality of services, system efficiency, health impact, and equity. The results suggest that the FHS contributed to the improvement in all those indicators, with effects on access and equity nearly at the level observed in the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Although there is still great room for improvement, the evidence is clear that the FHS is a powerful and effective approach to the organization of primary health care in Brazil.

title: Performance and feed efficiency of beef cattle fed high energy diet with probiotic consortium technology

description: SUMMARY The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of probiotic consortium on feed intake, feeding behavior, feed efficiency, fecal score, weight gain and carcass traits in finishing Nellore heifers fed high energy diets in feedlot. Twenty-four Nellore heifers were distributed in 12 pens with two animals each, being six pens per treatment. In the control treatment (CON) the animals were fed exclusively with the base diet, which contained 35% corn silage and 65% concentrate. In the treatment with probiotic consortium technology (TCP), the animals received the base diet and a single dose of 75 mL/animal/day of Bio Ciclo Completo (Global Saúde Brasil) top-dressed in the morning feeding. There was no period of adaptation to the diet. The experiment lasted 93 days. The use of TCP did not affect (P = 0.980) the dry matter intake. The average daily gain was 12.5% greater (P = 0.025) in the animals treated with TCP (0.941 kg/day for TCP versus 0.834 kg/day for CON). The animals that received TCP improved (P = 0.021) the feed efficiency by 12.6%. The animals that received TCP tended to have a better (P = 0.094) fecal score within the first 27 days of feedlot. There were no significant effects of TCP on the feeding behavior and carcass traits. Based on the results, there is a great potential of using TCP to improve productivity in beef cattle.

title: ACTIVITY OF RHIZOSPHERE SOIL MICROORGANISMS OF SUGARCANE CULTIVARS AFTER SPRAYING OF HERBICIDES: DIURON, TEBUTHIURON, AMETRYN AND DIURON + HEXAZINONE

description: ABSTRACT Changes in the agricultural environment can be determined by providing microbiological indicators of the soil since the soil microorganisms are sensitive to variations in the environment. In this way, the impact of herbicides of long residual effect on the rhizospheric soil microorganisms of sugarcane cultivars was evaluated. The cultivars of sugarcane (SP 81-3250 and RB 867515) were treated with four herbicides (tebuthiuron, diuron, ametryn and mixture of diuron + and hexazinone) applied in pre-emergence. The herbicides were applied seven days after the planting of the gems. At 30, 60 and 90 days after the application, the soil rhizosphere was collected in each treatment to determine the CO2 evolution of the soil (C-CO2), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), metabolic quotient (qCO2), solubility potential of inorganic phosphorus P (PSFI) and percentage of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi Arbuscular. No changes were observed in the microbial activity of the sugarcane rhizosphere at 30 days after application of the herbicides (DAA). However, at 90 DAA, all herbicides negatively affected the activity of the rhizospheric microorganisms of sugarcane. The metabolic activity of rhizosphere in soil cultivated with RB 867515 was less affected by herbicides.

title: Fires in the Pantanal: modeling and forecasting using multivariate analysis techniques

description: Abstract The occurrence of fires in Pantanal causes great damage to the local fauna and flora. Predicting these events is of great importance, enabling catastrophes in this ecosystem to be mitigated or even avoided. This study evaluated the occurrence of fires in Southern Pantanal associated with meteorological variables and created a predictive model using multivariate data analysis techniques. The environmental variables involved in this process were extracted from the database of the Center for Weather Forecasting and Climatic Studies of the National Institute of Space Research (INPE) and the meteorological database for teaching and research of the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). It was observed that temperature, relative humidity and solar radiation have a close relationship with the occurrence of fires and the resulting correlations were considered satisfactory for the application of forecasting models. The Multiple Linear Regression technique presented an adjustment of 41% and the Integrated Averaging Analysis of Moving Averages presented an adjustment of 66.5% and a general performance of 68.4%, making it the most-recommended forecasting methodology.

title: Overlay removable partial denture as temporary restoration of vertical dimension of occlusion in a bruxist patient

description: The reestablishment of the vertical dimension of occlusion is an important phase during prosthodontics treatment. Its reduction can be a consequence of severe bruxism, and patient rehabilitation requires complex, expensive, and long treatments. In this context, an overlay removable partial denture is a viable alternative, as it represents a simple manufactured reversible treatment. As a temporary treatment, it does not require tooth wear, reestablishes vertical dimension of occlusion, and allows the patient to adapt to this new dimension until the definitive rehabilitation treatment can be planned and finished. This case report describes the temporary rehabilitation of a maxillary complete edentulous bruxist patient with excessive tooth wear on his lower jaw, seeking treatment at the Removable Prosthodontics Department at State University of Ponta Grossa to replace his upper complete denture. A new complete denture was made and the implementation of an overlay removable partial denture was proposed to be made to the lower arch, which provided aesthetics and function to the patient until the completion of the definitive work. The patient was instructed and guided about the causal factors and consequences of his parafunctional habit and was taught methods for self-perception to control frequency. For the final rehabilitation, a new maxillary complete denture with metal occlusal surfaces will be made as well as metaloceramic crowns with metal occlusal using intraradicular retention with cast posts. An occlusal splint will be inserted in the lower jaw as supportive therapy to control the parafunctional habit.

title: The first contact with drugs: analysis of medical records of women cared in a specialized service

description: This study aimed to characterize and understand the circumstance under wich women carrying problems related to psychoactive substance use had their first contact with a specialized service in alcohol and other drugs. Exploratory and descriptive study of quantitative and qualitative approach. We retrieved of the information contained in medical records of 412 women cared in a service specializing in alcohol and other drugs. We held a quantitative data exploratory analysis and grouped qualitative data, wich were analyzed as for their content analysis, resulting in five themes. Results: the average age of women first contact with the drugs was 16 years, being alcohol, tobacco and marijuana the most commonly used substances. We concluded that, during adolescence, women are more vulnerable to the first contact with psychoactive substances, and that social and family contexts exert influence on the initiation of drug use.

title: Surface treatment systems for concrete in marine environment: Effect of concrete cover thickness

description: Abstract There are some ways to extend the service life of a reinforced concrete structure. This paper focuses on the extension of the service life by treating the surface of reinforced concrete, specifically on the effect of the concrete cover thickness on the surface treatment system efficacy. Thus, chloride migration tests were performed and diffusion chloride coefficients were calculated. The service life of each case (treated or non-treated concrete) was estimated using these data and Fick's second law of diffusion. Results indicated that the thicker the concrete cover is, the greater the efficacy of the concrete surface treatment system will be. The dissemination of this information is important, since it is almost intuitive to think that the effect of a surface treatment system depends only on itself and this study shows the opposite.
