title: LUMBAR ARTHRODESIS IN DEGENERATIVE SPINE: POST OPERATIVE RESULTS AND RADIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To relate the radiographic fusion rate and the surgical results in patients undergoing posterolateral arthrodesis with instrumentation of the lumbar spine for the treatment of degenerative disorders. Method: A descriptive, retrospective, case series, observational study, based on medical records and imaging studies of 76 patients over 18 years of age (39 to 88 years) who underwent posterolateral lumbar arthrodesis. Data related to the presence of comorbidities were compiled and clinical outcomes were measured using specific questionnaires collected pre-surgical and 1 year after surgery. Fusion quality, as described by Christensen, was assessed from radiographic images by two examiners. The VAS, EQ-5D and Roland Morris questionnaires were used preoperatively and 1 year after surgery to assess pain, quality of life and function, respectively. Result: It was observed improvement in pain, function and quality of life after 1 year post-surgical. Pain, measured by VAS, had a reduction from 7.92 to 3.16 (p-value &lt;0.001), the function evaluated by the Roland Morris score, also showed a reduction from 14.90 to 7.06 (p-value &lt;0.001) . Culminating with the improvement in quality of life, measured by the EQ-5D, where there was a median increase in the score from 0.5672 to 0.7002 (p-value = 0.002). Conclusion: The absence of radiographic fusion has no direct correlation with worse results in clinical outcomes at 01 year after surgery. Most patients showed clinical improvement with no statistical difference in relation to cases in which bone fusion was obtained. Level of evidence IV; retrospective observation.

title: Prognosis of patients with heart disease with acute kidney injury undergoing dialysis treatment

description: ABSTRACT Objectives: to verify the relationship of cardiovascular diseases with acute kidney injury and assess the prognosis of patients in renal replacement therapy. Methods: a cohort study, carried out in a public hospital specialized in cardiology. Treatment, comorbidities, duration of treatment, laboratory tests, discharge and deaths were analyzed. Results: of the 101 patients, 75 (74.3%) received non-dialysis treatment. The most frequent cardiological diagnoses were hypertension, cardiomyopathies and coronary syndrome. Hospitalization in patients undergoing dialysis was 18 days, hemoglobin &lt;10.5g/dl and anuria in the first days of hospitalization contributed to the type of treatment. Each increase in hemoglobin units from the first day of hospitalization decreases the chance of dialysis by 19.2%. There was no difference in mortality. Conclusions: the main cardiological diseases were not predictive of dialysis indication, and clinical treatment was the most frequent. Anuria and anemia were predictors for dialysis treatment.

title: Repeatability and number of measurements for productive variables in vegetable crops experiments

description: ABSTRACT One of the ways to optimize the evaluation of the experiment and obtain high precision of the results is with the use of an adequate number of measurements for each variable observed in the experiment. In this sense, the objective of this study was to estimate the repeatability coefficient and the number of measurements necessary for the analysis of characters of production of zucchini, cucumber, pout pepper and pea. In the experiments carried out with zucchini and cucumber the variables number of fruits, fruit mass, fruit length, largest fruit diameter and smallest fruit diameter were evaluated. For pea the number, length and mass of pods, number and mass of grains per pod and for pout pepper number and mass of fruits, largest fruit diameter and length were evaluated. The repeatability coefficient (r) was estimated by the principal component method using the correlation matrix and the covariance matrix. The number of measurements for each variable was also determined based on the coefficients of determination of 0.80, 0.85, 0.90, 0.95 and 1.00. The estimated repeatability coefficient obtained the highest estimates using the covariance matrix, ranging from 0.67 to 0.84 for zucchini, from 0.66 to 0.97 for cucumber, from 0.47 to 0.70 for pea and from 0.57 to 0.71 for pout pepper. To evaluate the fruit mass in zucchini, cucumber, pea and pout pepper, are exactly, respectively, 7, 4, 8 and 8 measurements for a coefficient of determination of 95%.

title: Divorced Parents’ Perceptions of Child Custody and Contacts During the Pandemic

description: Abstract The pandemic has impacted the ways in which people interact. Which impacts the pandemic might have brought about in regards to child custody and contacts arrangements? Through a thematic analysis, this qualitative and exploratory study investigated how 119 separated parents perceived this impact. Results address the impacts of the pandemic on child custody and contacts arrangements, especially regarding coparental communication. They also outline that the separated parents’ ability to adapt themselves to the pandemic restrictions, and their consequences. This ability was very linked to pre-existing coparental dynamics. Also, this paper discusses how the main impacts (i.e., maintaining contacts and caring for children) seemed to impact mothers more than fathers.

title: pedSimulate – An R package for simulating pedigree, genetic merit, phenotype, and genotype data

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to introduce R package pedSimulate, which was built to simulate pedigree, genetic merit, phenotype, and genotype data. These are amongst the most important data types that animal breeders and quantitative geneticists deal with. Twenty pedigrees with ten generations were simulated applying different combinations of three parameters: genetic variance (10 vs. 20), proportion of males selected (10 vs. 20%), and the pattern for selecting females (random, positively, or negatively based on own phenotype or parent average). Males were selected positively based on parent average. Consequently, assortative mating was applied to the pedigrees in which females were positively selected based on their own phenotype or parent average. Disassortative mating was applied to the pedigrees in which females were selected negatively based on phenotype or parent averages. Genetic gain and response to selection over generations were positive for all the pedigrees due to high selection intensity on males, mating each male with multiple females, and moderate to high heritability (0.25 and 0.40 for genetic variances 10 and 20, and the residual variance of 30). Genetic variance showed a slightly increasing trend over generations by assortative mating and lower selection intensity on males. Selection intensity on females was the same in all the pedigrees. This study provided examples of how R package pedSimulate can be adopted for pedigree, genetic merit, phenotype, and genotype data simulation in animal breeding studies. By using different functions and combining different parameters for their arguments, many scenarios can be simulated by R package pedSimulate.

title: Perceptions on alcohol use in a Potiguar indigenous community,

description: Abstract This work analyzes the meanings attributed to alcohol consumption and the care strategies used by an indigenous group in Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil) by means ofa qualitative research involving residents and leaders. The results generated three analytical axes: determinants of alcohol consumption, health care settings, and alcohol use in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that the use of alcohol in the community has been marked by historical movements that have altered the modes of existence and limited access to traditionally occupied lands. Alcohol consumption appeared as a naturalized phenomenon, associated with social and health problems that are aggravated by the lack of public assistance perceived by the community.

title: Domestication of a wild edible and nutritious mushroom Lentinus tigrinus from Pakistan

description: ABSTRACT Lentinus tigrinus is a significant edible and medicinal mushroom. It was collected from University of the Punjab, Lahore under a Morus tree. For the domestication of this wild significant species, its three parameters i.e., culturability, spawn production and cultivation potential were assessed using different synthetic culture media and substrates. Completely randomized design was used to determine the parameters and all the effects were evaluated in triplicates. Among these different media used, maximum mycelial growth where observed on the potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 35°C, followed by the compost extract agar (CEA) medium, malt extract agar (MEA), glucose peptone agar (GPA), and Saboraud dextrose agar (SDA). Spawning material was prepared on rice, sorghum and barley grains by the cultured mycelium on PDA medium. Sorghum grains were found as the appropriate medium for spawn production of this fungus. Cultivation potential and biological efficiency was assessed on the different substrates i.e., pure rice straw, pure sawdust, pure tea-waste, mixture of sawdust and rice straw, mixture of tea waste and sawdust and mixture of tea waste and rice straw. Mixed substrate of sawdust and rice straw at 30oC showed the maximum yield. Tea-waste medium was used as the casing material and proved very effective. These results indicated that Lentinus tigrinus exhibit the growth potential and its domestication can compete with nutritional and medicinal peculiarities of one of the most cultivated species, L. edodes.

title: Physiological responses of arugula/nirá intercropping under different arrangements and growing seasons

description: ABSTRACT In intercropping between vegetable species, little is known about physiological responses. Thus, getting to know the physiological behavior of these crops is essential to define whether the species are efficient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological responses of arugula/nirá intercropping under different arrangements and growing seasons. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, in a split-plot scheme, using the following cultivation arrangements: T1 = arugula monocropping; T2 = two rows of arugula with three rows of nirá (2R:3N); T3 = two rows of arugula with two rows of nirá (2R:2N); T4 = two rows of arugula with one row of nirá (2R:1N), in plots and growing seasons in the subplots (July 24th and September 3rd). We evaluated net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration, internal carbon concentration, water use efficiency, leaf area and productivity. The highest rates of net photosynthesis were obtained in 2R:3N arrangement in the first growing season. Transpiration, stomatal conductance and internal carbon concentration were lower in the second growing season. The intrinsic and instantaneous water-use efficiencies were higher in the second growing season. Arugula monocropping and the 2R:1N arrangement reached similar productivity. The physiological responses of arugula were not influenced by the nirá cultivation arrangements, indicating that the crop can be arranged without harming the efficiency of the photosynthetic process. The 2R:1N intercropping allowed the best productive performance in the first growing season.
