title: Respiratory evaluation through volumetric capnography among grade III obese and eutrophic individuals: a comparative study

description: ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Excess trunk body fat in obese individuals influences respiratory physiological function. The aims of this study were to compare volumetric capnography findings (VCap) between severely obese patients and normal-weight subjects and to assess whether there is any association between neck circumference (NC), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and VCap among grade III obese individuals. DESIGN AND SETTING: Analytical observational case-matched cross-sectional study, University of Campinas. METHODS: This cross-sectional study compared VCap variables between 60 stage III obese patients and 60 normal-weight individuals. RESULTS: In comparison with the normal-weight group, obese patients presented higher alveolar minute volume (8.92 ± 4.94 versus 6.09 ± 2.2; P = &lt; 0.0001), CO2 production (278 ± 91.0 versus 209 ± 60.23; P &lt; 0.0001), expiratory tidal volume (807 ± 365 versus 624 ± 202; P = 0.005), CO2 production per breath (21.1 ± 9.7 versus 16.7 ± 6.16; P = 0.010) and peak expiratory flow (30.9 ± 11.9 versus 25.5 ± 9.13; P = 0.004). The end-expiratory CO2 (PetCO2) concentration (33.5 ± 4.88 versus 35.9 ± 3.79; P = 0.013) and the phase 3 slope were normalized according to expired tidal volume (0.02 ± 0.05 versus 0.03 ± 0.01; P = 0.049) were lower in the obese group. CONCLUSIONS: The greater the NC was, the larger were the alveolar minute volume, anatomical dead space, CO2 production per minute and per breath and expiratory volume; whereas the smaller were the phase 2 slope (P2Slp), phase 3 slope (P3Slp) and pressure drop in the mouth during inspiration.

title: Population Tables in Grao-Para captaincies: consolidation of a colonial population in the final half of the XVIIIth century

description: Abstract As of the mid-eighteenth century, in the context of the so-called Pombaline Reforms, Indian Freedom Laws incorporated a large region in northern Portuguese America into civilian administration, transforming more than sixty missionary settlements into Portuguese villages and sites with predominantly indigenous population. This paper seeks to research into the demographic evolution of “aldeado” (subject to compulsory labour) indians and the free non- “aldeado” population under this new regime. For some historians, the population of Indian villages under the Directorio (1757-1798) was artificially maintained by the constant influx of new contingents of native peoples through descimentos. However, the analysis of population tables produced since 1773 shows a slow but consistent growth of all population groups in the captaincies of the State of Grão-Pará, even suffering frequent epidemics and harm from compulsory work to which by the majority of the indigenous population was subject.

title: Implementation of immobilization accessories for positioning of small animals for radiation therapy

description: ABSTRACT Radiation therapy is a modality that is presenting great advances in veterinary medicine worldwide. In Brazil, this therapeutic option is underachieved. The success of this method depends on several factors, including the use of appropriate accessories for protection and immobilization of patients. For the immobilization of small animals during treatment, in addition to sedation and anesthesia, immobilizing accessories, similar to those used in human radiotherapy, are used. This study aimed to present proposals for immobilizing accessories adapted to the positioning of small animals in order to be used in radiotherapy planning. In order to achieve results, accessories were made and tested in a living animal simulating a radiotherapy planning, which proved to be favorable to use in positioning small animals undergoing radiotherapy and for implementation processes.

title: Planting density and arrangement for the mechanized spraying of vertically staked tomatoes

description: ABSTRACT We aimed to determine an adequate planting density and arrangement for the mechanized spraying of vertically staked tomatoes. Two experiments were carried out in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 harvests in the city of Calmon, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, both in randomized block design. In 2013/14, treatments were arranged in a 4x2 factorial, corresponding to four planting densities (10,753, 12,903, 16,129 and 21,505 plants/ha) and two planting arrangements (single and double rows). In 2014/15, treatments were arranged in a 5x2 factorial, corresponding to five plant densities (the same planting densities of the previous harvest beyond 32,258 plants/ha) and the same planting arrangements. Total, marketable (considering extra AA and extra A fruits as marketable) and unmarketable yield, the average mass of marketable fruits and severity of leaf diseases were evaluated. Economic analysis was also performed. For tomatoes grown under mechanized spraying, double row plantings resulted in higher yield of marketable fruits and a higher percentage of top grade fruits compared to single row plantings. Maximum fruit yield was reached at approximately 34,000 plants/ha, although maximum revenue was estimated for 23,000 plants/ha. Bacterial spot and Septoria leaf spot severity were higher in double rows than in single rows. Increases in planting density resulted also in increases in bacterial spot and early blight severity.

title: Infection of the muscle tissue of the filter-feeding cichlid, Chaetobranchopsis orbicularis Steindachner, 1875, by Kudoa orbicularis (Myxozoa: Multivalvulidae) on Marajó Island in the Brazilian Amazon region

description: ABSTRACT This study describes aspects of infections caused by the myxosporidian Kudoa orbicularis in filter-feeding cichlids, Chaetobranchopsis orbicularis, caught in the Arari River in the municipality of Cachoeira do Arari, on Marajó Island, Pará, Brazil. The parasite forms pseudocysts scattered throughout the striated epaxial and hypaxial muscles. Samples embedded in paraffin were analyzed histologically using hematoxylin-eosin, Gömöri, Ziehl-Neelsen, and Giemsa staining. Necropsy of the C. orbicularis specimens revealed that 100% (50/50) were infected with K. orbicularis. The specimens presented grossly abnormal muscle texture, resulting in extensive inconsistencies and weakness. Progressive softening of the muscles was observed during necropsy, indicating the rapid enzymatic autolysis of the tissue. The parasite found in the muscle tissue of C. orbicularis was identified as K. orbicularis, with clinical signs of disease being observed in the fish. The necropsy revealed extensive damage to the host organism, with well-established fibrocystic infections in the muscle fibers, associated with post mortem myoliquefaction.

title: Theophylline as a capacitating agent of bovine semen

description: ABSTRACT The sperm capacitating process should take special attention during in vitro embryo production (IVEP) once that affects the success of embryo production. The study aimed to evaluate theophylline as substitute capacitating agent or in combination with heparin on the sperm acrosome reaction and development of embryos produced in vitro. The experiment was carried out using 4 bulls and 3 treatments, establishing 12 experimental groups. Each bull was evaluated in the following treatments: Treatment 1 (HEP): Heparin - 10mg/mL; Treatment 2 (THEO): Theophylline - 5mM; Treatment 3 (HEP + THEO), Heparin (10mg/mL) + Theophylline (5mM). The semen of bulls was incubated in each treatment for 0, 6, 12 and 18h, stained with Trypan blue / Giemsa and analyzed by electron microscopy for assessment of acrosome reaction. Using sperm of same bulls, capacitating agents were added to the fertilization media, for IVEP. In sperm analysis, the true acrosome reaction rate was higher (P&lt;0.05) in time 0h, while sperm dead rates were highest (P&lt;0.05) at 12h (84.46±5, 82), and 18h (86.75±4.19). The produced embryos rate (37.97±13) and hatching rate (33.50±14) were larger (P&lt;0.05) for HEP treatment. There was no difference (P&gt;0.05) between bulls in acrosome reaction analysis neither for IVEP. The use of theophylline was as effective as heparin in the induction of the acrosome reaction, although it resulted in lower embryo production rates.

title: Chinese cabbage production in function of nitrogen and potassium fertigation of seedlings

description: ABSTRACT Few researches are available about the influence of nitrogen and potassium application in brassica seedlings production; so, we aimed to evaluate the effect of rates of nitrogen and potassium, provided by fertigation to seedlings produced in coconut fiber substrate, on chinese cabbage production. Sixteen treatments were studied, resulted from the factorial four N rates (0, 80, 160 and 240 mg/L) x four K2O rates (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg/L), in the completely randomized block design, with four repetitions. Sowing of hybrid Kukai 65 was done in polypropylene trays with 200 cells, filled with coconut fiber, in January 13, 2014. Fertilization was done by fertigation at 7, 14 and 21 days after sowing (DAS), using 500 mL of solution in each application in each plot, consisting of 50 cells. After transplantation, all plants received the same cultural practices, including initial and top-dressing fertilization. Linear increasing for all aboveground part vegetative traits of seedlings (30 DAS) the higher de N rate was observed, and quadratic effect for roots dry matter. The increase of potassium rates resulted in decreasing linear effect for root dry weight of seedlings and increasing linear effect for height and fresh weight of aboveground part of seedlings. Quadratic effects were observed for number of leaves, height and dry weight of plants for N rates evaluated at harvesting (96 DAS), with maximum estimated in 47.7 leaves, 35.5 cm and 68 g, for rates of 101, 131 and 138 mg/L of N, respectively. For K rates, decreasing linear effect for plant height was observed and quadratic for number of leaves and fresh weight of plants, and the highest fresh weight of plants (1557 g) at harvesting was estimated for rate of 140 mg/L of K2O.

title: Prenatal development of the sound transmitting apparatus in different embryonic stages of Malpolon monsspesulanus (squamata-serpentes)

description: Abstract The developmental investigation of sound transmitting apparatus is important in understanding the ontogenetic processes behind morphological diversity. The development of sound conducting apparatus was studied in Montpellier snake; Malpolon monspessulanus at 6.5, 7.2, 8.3 and 9.3 cm total body lengths using light microscopy study. The columella auris firstly appeared as undifferentiated rod shape mesenchymal cells. As the growth proceeded, it chondrified and differentiates into two main parts. In addition, the viscerocranium components which participate in formation of sound transmitting apparatus undergo critical organization. In more advanced stages, procartilagenous stylohyal chondrified and fuse with the well organized quadrate. These data considered as a base for functional and molecular mechanisms of sound transmitting apparatus studies and identification of diseases that may infect them.
