title: Evaluation of pulmonary B lines by different intensive care physicians using bedside ultrasonography: a reliability study

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the agreement between intensive care physicians with similar training in the use of bedside lung ultrasonography in identifying pulmonary B lines, visualized in real time, to verify the reproducibility of the method. Methods: A total of 67 patients with some ventilatory deterioration identified within 12 hours after a pulmonary ultrasonography in the period from November 2016 to March 2017 were analyzed, and all were admitted to an intensive care unit of a private hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The lung ultrasonographies were performed by three different professionals, termed A, B and C, and the time interval between each lung ultrasonography was less than 3 hours. The only visualized chest zones were the anterior and lateral, defined as right and left anterior (1) zones (Z1R and Z1L, respectively), which were delimited by the clavicle, the sternum and the horizontal line perpendicular to the xiphoid process and anterior axillary line. The right and left lateral (2) zones (Z2R and Z2L, respectively) covered the lateral area between the anterior and posterior axillary lines, with the lower limit being the same horizontal line corresponding to the height of the xiphoid process. A lung zone was considered positive for B lines upon visualization of three or more of these lines, suggesting the presence of alveolar-interstitial syndrome. Using the Kappa value, we evaluated the agreement among the four zones according to the execution of each pair of professionals (AB, AC and BC). Results: Approximately 80% of the areas that were visualized showed a moderate to substantial agreement, with the Kappa values ranging from 0.41 - 079 (p &lt; 0.05; 95% CI). The highest levels of agreement occurred in the upper zones Z1R and Z1L between subgroups AC and BC, with a Kappa of approximately 0.65 (p &lt; 0.001). In turn, Z2L showed one of the lowest agreements, with a Kappa of 0.36. Conclusion: The possible limitation of an examiner-dependent effect on lung ultrasounds was not found in this study, suggesting the good reproducibility of this diagnostic modality at the bedside.

title: Local genotypes of dog rose from Interior Aegean region of Turkey as a unique source of pro-health compounds

description: ABSTRACT Rosehip, Rosa canina L. fruit, is valued for its flavor, taste, color and aroma, in accordance with its recognition as one of richest sources of pro-health compounds. Screening, preservation and propagation of the most valuable local populations of rosehip are performed for food, pharmacological, and cosmetic applications. Eleven native R. canina genotypes from the Interior Aegean region, Turkey, were collected and analyzed regarding organic acids, phenolic compounds, sugars, and DPPH scavenging activity within this study. Regarding biochemical profile of fruits, protocatechuic acid and quercitrin were the most dominant compounds among 12 identified phenolics. The dominant organic acids were malic and citric and fructose and glucose were the dominant sugars. There was no correlation between DPPH scavenging activity and the analyzed chemicals in fruits. Although levels of certain compounds varied significantly between consecutive years, the ranking of genotypes according to the levels of particular chemicals was maintained. Generally, the most promising chemotype regarding biological value was 64US03. The chemical composition and the presence of bioactive compounds make the native to Interior Aegean R. canina genotypes a valuable source of bioactive agents preventing oxidative-stress related diseases.

title: Practices adopted in the state of Espírito Santo to overcome grade retention in literacy classes (1960-1970)

description: ABSTRACT This paper aims mainly to understand two practices engaged by the Secretary of Education and Culture to promote the enhancement of approval rates in public schools, in the state of Espírito Santo, in the 1960s and 1970s, by establishing criteria for the creation of homogeneous groups and system of assessment of learning mainly in the first grade, in which grade retention rates were more alarming. It emerges from a historical research in which documents generated in the period were analyzed. It has as theoretical reference writings of Mikhail Bakhtin in the field of philosophy of language. It concludes that the criteria for group creation and assessments did not contribute significantly to the growth of the approval rates, making development difficult for poor children in public schools.

title: A communication and information strategy in health and preparation for childbirth: a randomized cluster trial (PRENACEL)

description: Abstract: PRENACEL is a study that incorporates two innovative approaches to maternal and perinatal health: the need to improve women’s level of satisfaction with the birthing experience and an assessment of the impacts of information and communication technologies in health. The approaches involve a communication program via short cellphone text messages, developed for Brazilian pregnant women in prenatal care in the Brazilian Unified National Health System. The analysis aims to determine whether the program contributes positively to women’s perceived preparedness for childbirth. A randomized cluster trial was performed in 20 primary care units in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo State, in 2015 and 2016. Data were collected for 1,210 women from interviews and patient charts. The data were submitted to two analytical models, per protocol and intention-to-treat. Women that had received information from the PRENACEL program during pregnancy were more likely to feel prepared for labor and delivery and to feel that prenatal care had helped them feel more prepared. There were also positive impacts on bonding with the newborn and breastfeeding in the delivery room and on knowledge of obstetric interventions. No differences were seen in the other maternal and perinatal outcomes, including women’s satisfaction with the birthing care. PRENACEL can help expand women’s access to strategic information for them to feel better prepared for the birthing experience.

title: TASKS PROPOSED BY PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS OF THE FIRST SCHOOL YEARS TO TEACH PROBABILITY

description: ABSTRACT Recently we have witnessed the deepening of the teaching of Probability and Statistics in basic education, where it is important to investigate if the knowledge of prospective teachers is adequate to teach these subjects. 53 students, who were attending the 2nd year of the Bachelor's Degree in Basic Education at a university in Portugal, were asked to solve various questions on probability. We study only the one that refers to the didactic dimension of the prospective teacher's knowledge, when they establish tasks of probability suitable for students of the primary education. In the results obtained, it was found that the majority of participants presented inappropriate tasks to the cognitive level of the students for whom they were intended, and they were generally too difficult and without reference to uncertainty. The tasks were very similar to the learning that the prospective teachers themselves have done under the topic of probability in their previous training.

title: Cardinal temperatures and modeling of vegetative development in guava

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to estimate cardinal temperatures (base, optimum, and maximum), and simulate the vegetative development of guava crop through phyllochron (linear) and Wang and Engel (nonlinear) models at the seedling phase. The experiment was conducted in Itajubá, MG, Brazil (22° 24’ 46.43” S 45° 26’ 48.94” W), for two years in a completely randomized design with twelve sowing dates and five experimental units per treatment, totaling sixty experimental units. The cardinal temperatures were estimated using twelve methods described in the literature and the values were: base, 10.9 °C, optimum, 17.3 °C and maximum, 51.2 °C. The phyllochron model was superior to Wang and Engel’s model for simulation of vegetative growth of guava, with root mean square error of 1.5 leaves.

title: Diagnosis of brain death in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Brain death, defined as the complete and irreversible loss of brain functions, has a history that is linked to the emergence of intensive care units and the advancement of artificial ventilatory support. In Brazil, by federal law, the criteria for the diagnosis of brain death have been defined by the Federal Council of Medicine since 1997 and apply to the entire Brazilian territory. Resolution 2,173/2017 of the Federal Council of Medicine updated the criteria for diagnosing brain death. These changes include the following: the requirement for the patient to meet specific physiological prerequisites and for the physician to provide optimized care to the patient before starting the procedures for diagnosing brain death and to perform complementary tests, as well as the need for specific training for physicians who make this diagnosis. Other changes include the reduction of the time interval between the two clinical examinations, the possibility of continuing procedures in the presence of unilateral ear or eye injury, the performance of a single apnea test and the creation of a statement of brain death determination that includes the recording of all procedures in a single document. This document, despite the controversy surrounding it, increases the safety necessary when establishing a diagnosis of such importance and has positive implications that extend beyond the patient and the physician to reach the entire health system.

title: Foliar application of silicon decreases wheat blast symptoms without impairing photosynthesis

description: ABSTRACT Considering the importance of blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, to impact wheat yield, this study investigated whether the foliar spray of potassium silicate (PS) could affect the photosynthesis of wheat plants and its potential to reduce disease symptoms. The Exp. 1 aimed to determine the effect of the foliar spray of PS on the photosynthetic performance of plants and was arranged in a completely randomized design with six treatments (plants sprayed with PS rates of 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, and 12.5 g·L-1 at 35 days after emergence) and six replications. The leaf gas exchange (net CO2 assimilation rate (A), internal CO2 concentration (Ci), stomatal conductance to water vapor (gs), and transpiration rate (E)) as well as fluorescence of chlorophyll a (maximal photosystem II quantum yield (Fv/Fm), quantum yield of non-regulated energy dissipation [Y(NO)], photochemical yield [Y(II)], electron transport rate (ETR), and quenching non-photochemical [Y(NPQ)]) parameters were evaluated. The Exp. 2 was carried out to determine the effect of PS on blast control and also on the photosynthetic performance of plants. Plants at 35 days after emergence were sprayed with PS rate of 12.5 g·L-1, which did not affect photosynthesis on plants from Exp.1. This experiment was a 2 × 4 factorial and arranged in a completely randomized design with six replications. The factors studied were plants non-inoculated or inoculated plants and the spray of water, PS, fungicide (trifloxystrobin 10% + tebuconazole 20%; 0.75 L/ha), and fungicide + PS. There were no significant changes in the values of A, gs, E, Ci, Fv/Fm, Y(NO), Y(II), Y(NPQ), and ETR for plants sprayed three times (every 96 h interval) as the PS rates increased from 2.5 to 12.5 g·L-1. There was no significant relationship between the PS rates with either absorbance, reflectance or transmittance on the leaf blades. Linear regression model best described the foliar Si concentration-PS rates relationship. Foliar Si concentration significantly increased by 44 and 42%, respectively, for the PS and PS + fungicide treatments compared to water-sprayed plants. The area under disease progress curve was significantly lower by 64, 58, and 53%, respectively, for the fungicide, PS, and fungicide + PS treatments in comparison to water-sprayed plants. The photosynthetical process, primarily related to the Fv/Fm parameter, on wheat leaves was greatly impaired during the infection process of P. oryzae, but to a lesser extent on the leaves of PS-sprayed plants. In conclusion, the foliar spray of PS can be an environmentally friendly strategy to control wheat blast without causing perturbation to the photosynthetic machinery of wheat plants.

title: Rosa and Gabriel between the coast and the interior of Brazil in the First Republic

description: Abstract The city of Uberaba, in the Triângulo Mineiro, Minas Gerais, played an important role in the intermediation of commerce that during the First Republic took place between the coffee economy of São Paulo and the interior of Brazil. This intermediation had as protagonists uberabenses that, in different forms, ﬁt in that commercial circuit; many of whom owned businesses that stretched north to south, going from the interior to the coast and, in some cases, to the European continent. This article aims to follow the developments of some of these commercial networks, focusing on two important actors: Rosa Maria de Oliveira and Gabriel Orlando Teixeira Junqueira.

title: Risk factors associated with viral infections (BoHV-1 and BVDV) in crossbreed dairy herds with reproductive failures, Uberlândia, MG

description: ABSTRACT Viral infections are frequently associated with reproductive problems in dairy and beef cattle worldwide. The aim of this study was to verify managerial practices that may constitute risk factors associated with infection by BoHV-1 and/or BVDV in dairy herds with a history of reproductive disease in extensively reared dairy cows without a previous history of vaccination against IBR and BVD. Neutralizing antibodies anti-BoHV-1, anti-BVDV or both were detected in 62.5% (165/264), 45.1% (119/264), and 31.4% (83/264), respectively, in the samples analyzed. The risk factors associated with infection by BoHV-1 were herds with more than 100 cows, the presence of mechanical milking, the non-utilization of artificial insemination, and the infrequent acquisition of animals. Risk factors associated with BVDV were dual-purpose herds (milk and beef), these include the utilization of mechanical milking, absence of quarantine for newly acquired animals, the presence of picket calving, and the absence of artificial insemination. For simultaneous infections by both viruses (BoHV-1 and BVDV) the use of mechanical milking increased the chance of infection 3.36-fold while the use of artificial insemination reduced the risk of infection by 56% in these herds.
