title: PROXIMAL HUMERAL LOCKING PLATE: A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE FOR FIXATION OF DISTAL FEMORAL FRACTURES IN CHILDREN

description: ABSTRACT Distal femoral metaphyseal fractures are rare in children, and the proximity of the fracture to the growth plate makes their approach challenging. Objective Evaluate outcomes and complications of treatment of distal femoral metaphyseal fractures in children with proximal humeral locking plates. Method Retrospective study between 2018 and 2021, including seven patients. The analysis included general characteristics, trauma mechanism, classification, clinical and radiographic outcomes, and complications. Results The mean follow-up was 20 months, the average age was nine years, five patients were boys, and six fractured on the right side. Five fractures were caused by car accidents, one by falling from their own height and one by playing soccer. Five fractures were classified as 33-M/3.2 and two as 33-M/3.1. Three fractures were open, Gustilo IIIA. All seven patients recovered mobility and resumed their pre-trauma activities. All seven healed, and one fracture was reduced to 5 degrees valgus, without any other complications. Six patients had the implant removed and did not present refracture. Conclusion Treatment of distal femoral metaphyseal fractures with proximal humeral locking plates is a viable option that offers good results and fewer complications, saving the epiphyseal cartilage. Level of Evidence II; Controlled study without randomization.

title: Lifestyle behaviors and associated factors among individuals with diabetes in Brazil: a latent class analysis approach

description: Abstract The purpose of the cross-sectional study was to identify patterns of modifiable lifestyle behaviors and examine the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and distinct lifestyle behaviors. The data were gathered from the National Health Survey 2019, a study that included adults with diabetes. Four domains of lifestyle behaviors were used to define these behaviors: smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and diet. The association between patterns of lifestyle behaviors and variables of interest was assessed using multinomial regression analysis. The three lifestyle patterns identified were: Class 1, referred to as “unhealthy diet,” comprised 17.0% of the sample and was characterized by unhealthy eating habits; Class 2 (less active and insufficient fruit and vegetable intake) represented 71.2% of the sample; Class 3 referred to as “low risk” (11.8%) is characterized by a lower probability of engaging in most risky behaviors. A person over 45 years of age with little or no education and no health care coverage was less likely to be a member of Class 1. Male individuals who do not attend a doctor regularly exhibited more chances of belonging to Class 2. Mixed-race individuals aged 45 years or more with a low level of education have a lower chance of belonging to this class.

title: Influence of multimorbidity patterns on the activities in the day-to-day lives of the elderly: nine-year follow-up of the Fibra Study

description: Abstract The scope of this article was to evaluate the influence of multimorbidity and associated effects on the activities in the day-to-day lives of community-dwelling elderly individuals. It involved a cohort study with data from the FIBRA Study, the baseline (2008-2009) and follow-up (2016-2017). The basic activities in daily living (ADL) were evaluated using Katz’s index, and the chronic diseases were classified as: (1) multimorbidity and multimorbidity patterns; (2) cardiopulmonary; (3) vascular-metabolic; and (4) mental-musculoskeletal. The chi-square test and Poisson regression data were used for analysis. A total of 861 older adults with no functional dependency at baseline were analyzed. Elderly individuals with multimorbidity (RR = 1.58; 95%CI: 1.19-2.10) and classified according to cardiopulmonary (RR = 2.43; 95%CI: 1.77-3.33), vascular-metabolic (RR = 1.50; 95%CI: 1.19-1.89) and mental-musculoskeletal (RR = 1.30; 95%CI: 1.03-1.65) had a higher risk of presenting functional decline in ADL in the follow-up compared to those who didn’t have the same disease patterns. Multimorbidity and its patterns increased the risk of functional disability in older adults over the nine-year period.

title: Dialéticas e políticas alteritárias na Dialética da colonização

description: ABSTRACT The article proposes a discussion about the meaning and functioning of the concept of dialectic in Alfredo Bosi’s Dialectic of Colonization and an exam of the alteritarian politics therein. Dialoguing with Roberto Schwarz’s analysis of this work, we try to show the critical productivity arising from a game between a certain theoretical flexibility and the ethical-methodological commitment inscribed in the Marxist tradition of that concept, and how this is reflected in the affectual-axiological complex that shapes the notions of “popular” and “animist materialism” in the book, in Bosi’s own confrontation with the figure and work of André João Antonil and in his reading of the contradictions of liberalism. Finally, we suggest a certain affinity of interests and procedures of Bosi’s Dialectic with the spectropoetics-spectrology of Jacques Derrida.

title: Pacto fáustico e resistência no poema “A máquina do mundo”

description: ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the poem “Machine of the World”, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902-1987), in the context of world literature, collating it especially to Goethe’s Faust. The essay also discusses some facets of the resistance that, according to the ideas of A. Bosi, may emanate from lyric poetry. In this perspective, the poem also relates to two devastating ecological catastrophes in recent Brazilian history, caused by a corporation against which the poet struggled throughout his life.

title: Hydraulic conductivity and native embolism of Geneva® Series apple rootstocks measured by the XYL’EM-Plus® embolism meter

description: ABSTRACT Most commercial apple orchards are established on either Marubakaido (Malus prunifolia Borkh.) (high vigor), M-9 (Malus pumila) (low vigor), or a combination of both rootstocks through the intergrafting technique. The Geneva® Series rootstocks were developed as an alternative to orchards modernization. The vigor of rootstocks influences the anatomical xylem formation and, therefore, the canopy cultivar’s hydraulic conductivity. When affected by embolism, hydraulic conductivity harms plant metabolism, reducing crop yield and fruit quality. This study aimed to evaluate four Geneva® Series rootstocks with potential use in southern Brazil, in terms of hydraulic conductivity (K) and percentage loss of conductance (PLC), during the winter period in two different years. The G.213 rootstock presented the best performance for the variables analyzed; however, higher values of xylem functionality loss were observed in G.814.

title: AgroReg: main regression models in agricultural sciences implemented as an R Package

description: ABSTRACT Regression analysis is highly relevant to agricultural sciences since many of the factors studied are quantitative. Researchers have generally used polynomial models to explain their experimental results, mainly because much of the existing software perform this analysis and a lack of knowledge of other models. On the other hand, many of the natural phenomena do not present such behavior; nevertheless, the use of non-linear models is costly and requires advanced knowledge of language programming such as R. Thus, this work presents several regression models found in scientific studies, implementing them in the form of an R package called AgroReg. The package comprises 44 analysis functions with 66 regression models such as polynomial, non-parametric (loess), segmented, logistic, exponential, and logarithmic, among others. The functions provide the coefficient of determination (R2), model coefficients and the respective p-values from the t-test, root mean square error (RMSE), Akaike’s information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), maximum and minimum predicted values, and the regression plot. Furthermore, other measures of model quality and graphical analysis of residuals are also included. The package can be downloaded from the CRAN repository using the command: install.packages(“AgroReg”). AgroReg is a promising analysis tool in agricultural research on account of its user-friendly and straightforward functions that allow for fast and efficient data processing with greater reliability and relevant information.

title: FLEXIBLE INTRAMEDULLARY NAILS IN PEDIATRIC SUBTROCHANTERIC FEMUR FRACTURE: BIOMECHANICAL STUDY

description: ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate the stability provided by two flexible intramedullary nails (FINs) in a simulation of fractures at the proximal levels in pediatric femur models. Methods Two FINs were inserted in 18 synthetic models of pediatric femurs. Fractures were simulated at one of three levels, and the models were divided into the following groups (n=6): diaphysis (control), subtrochanteric and trochanteric. Flex-compression tests were performed with force up to 85 N. Relative stiffness and the average deformation was obtained. Torsion tests were performed by rotating the proximal fragment until 20°, to obtain the average torque. Results At flex-compression, the set’s average relative stiffness and average deformations were: 54.360x103 N/m and 1.645 mm in the control group, respectively. In the subtrochanteric group, the relative stiffness was 31.415x103 N/m (-42.2%) and the deformation was 2.424 mm (+47.3%) (p&lt;0.05). For the trochanteric group, the relative stiffness was 30.912x103 N/m (+43.1%) and the deformation was 2.508 mm (+52.4%) (p&lt;0.05). In torsion, the average torque was 1.410 Nm in the control group; 1.116 Nm in the subtrochanteric group (-20.8%), and 2.194 Nm in the trochanteric group (+55.6%) (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion FINs do not seem to be biomechanically competent for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures. Level of Evidence I; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the results of treatment.

title: Ethanolic extract of Copaifera, Croton and Lippia on the control of phytopathogenic fungi

description: ABSTRACT The search for vegetable extracts for phytosanitary control has been expanded to find new active ingredients to control plant diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro effect of the fixed constituents of Copaifera luetzelburgii, Croton zehntneri and Lippia lasiocalycina, at the concentrations of 2, 20, 200 and 2,000 μg mL-1, on the percentage of mycelial growth inhibition of Colletotrichum siamense, C. truncatum, Fusarium sacchari, F. udum, Lasiodiplodia theobromae and Thielaviopsis ethacetica, as well as the conidium concentration of C. siamense, F. sacchari and F. udum produced in culture medium with all the extracts. The tested ethanolic extract, especially at the highest concentration, inhibited the percentage of mycelial growth and/or conidium concentration of the evaluated fungi. The other concentrations showed low inhibitory effects or no activity against the fungi. The average values for percentage of mycelial growth inhibition of the ethanolic extract from L. lasiocalycina, C. zehntneri and C. luetzelburgii against the six fungi were 62.5, 53.4 and 51.0 %, respectively. The ethanolic extract of L. lasiocalycina showed the most significant effect on the percentage of mycelial growth inhibition and conidia concentration. The fixed constituents of C. luetzelburgii, C. zehntneri and L. lasiocalycina at 2,000 μg mL-1 showed to be efficient in inhibiting the mycelial growth of C. siamense, C. truncatum, F. sacchari, F. udum, L. theobromae and T. ethacetica, and inhibit the conidia production of C. siamense, F. sacchari and F. udum.

title: Comparison of beriberi cases in indigenous and non-indigenous people, Brazil, 2013 to 2018

description: Abstract Beriberi is the clinical manifestation of severe and prolonged thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. It is a neglected disease that affects low-income populations facing food and nutrition insecurity. The aim of this study was to compare cases of beriberi among indigenous and non-indigenous people in Brazil. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data on cases of beriberi during the period July 2013-September 2018 derived from beriberi notification forms available on the FormSUS platform. Cases in indigenous and non-indigenous patients were compared using the chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test, adopting a significance level of 0.05. A total of 414 cases of beriberi were reported in the country during the study period, 210 of which (50.7%) were among indigenous people. Alcohol consumption was reported by 58.1% of the indigenous patients and 71.6% of the non-indigenous patients (p = 0.004); 71.0% of the indigenous patients reported that they consumed caxiri, a traditional alcoholic drink. Daily physical exertion was reported by 76.1% of the indigenous patients and 40.2% of the non-indigenous patients (p &lt; 0.001). It is concluded that beriberi disproportionately affects indigenous people and is associated with alcohol consumption and physical exertion.
