title: EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT STARTERS CULTURES IN THE OBTAITION OF ITALIAN-TYPE SAUSAGE

description: Abstract The Italian-Type Sausage produced in Brazil is predominantly obtained from swine meat, with maturation approximately 30 days, reaching pH around 5.3. The use of Lactobacillus bacteria as starter cultures provide fermentation processes and products more uniform and safe, reducing the maturation time due to the rapid formation of lactic acid, obtaining products with better sensorial, chemical and microbiological characteristics. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (commonly in S. xylosus and S. carnosus fermented meat products) have technological advantages such as nitrite and nitrate redutase activity, oxygen uptake and catalase activity that improve color stability and decrease the development of rancidity in the skin, contribute to the generation of flavor due to the proteolytic and lipolytic capacity. This work aimed to study the influence of different starters cultures (S. xylosus, S. carnosus, L. sakei and L. plantarum) combined with different concentrations of glucose substrate (40.5 and 99.5%) in properties of Italian-Type Sausage, as well as the influence of their concentration on starter performance. During the processing and shelf life the sausages were evaluated in relation to physic-chemical, microbiological and sensorial characteristics. In all samples of Italian-type Sausages have similar behavior in relation to physical-chemical parameters (moisture, protein, and fat). There was no growth of undesirable micro-organisms in the samples after 60 days of shelf life. By the sensorial analysis, the sample with low concentration of substrate (40.5%) and with S. carnosus and L. sakei cultures was the one that received the best grades and better acceptance by the tasters, and presented values of nitrites and nitrites according to the legislation.

title: Apoplexy, cerebrovascular disease, and stroke: Historical evolution of terms and definitions

description: ABSTRACT. The long-standing concept of “apoplexy' can be followed from Antiquity, passing through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and reaching the Modern era and the present day, with the new designation of “stroke”. The definition of “apoplexy” can be divided, by the history of autopsy, into a period predating this practice, which spanned from Antiquity until the Renaissance, with a relatively stable clinically-based umbrella concept, and an autopsy period of the Modern era, when the condition was subdivided into several subtypes. Thus, it took about 2,500 years assembling the numerous pieces of information to achieve a fairly well-defined picture. The “stroke” concept inherited the information developed for “apoplexy”, incorporating all historical acquisitions to form the current state of this knowledge.

title: Psychometric properties of the Duke Religion Index applied in a virtual platform

description: Abstract Introduction The Duke Religion Index (DUREL) is a brief instrument for the assessment of organized, non-organized and intrinsic religiosity. It’s been increasingly used on mental and public health studies in the recent years. The use of virtual platforms for data collection can be an alternative to its research context in the public health. Objective This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of DUREL applied in a virtual platform. Methods We studied 253 adults assessed through a series of online questionnaires, including DUREL. We compared the scores of atheists/agnostics, catholic, evangelicals and participants with other religions in the scale and calculated its internal consistency, factorial structure and correlations with other measures. Results The DUREL applied in virtual platform presented moderate-high internal consistency, factorial structure of a single component and associations with sociodemographic and mental health variables. Conclusion The results suggest that the psychometric properties of the DUREL applied in an online platform are similar to the conventional application.

title: Cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive performance in aging

description: ABSTRACT. Background. Atherosclerosis in cerebral blood vessels, especially those which compose the Circle of Willis, can lead to reduced supply of oxygen and nutrients to different cortical structures, affecting cognitive function. Objective: To analyze whether cardiovascular risk factors negatively influence cognitive performance in adults and elderly. Methods: One hundred twenty-nine participants of both sexes, aged over 50 years, without cognitive or functional impairment were included. Body mass index (BMI), hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), smoking history, plasma levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins (LDL), high density lipoproteins (HDL) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose were the cardiovascular risk factors analyzed. Cognitive assessment was performed using tests of attention, working memory, category fluency and declarative memory. Results: Controlling for age and education, multivariate linear regression models revealed that higher concentrations of triglycerides, as well as total, LDL and VLDL cholesterol, were associated with poorer performance on the digit span and category fluency tests. Higher HDL concentrations were associated with higher scores on category fluency tasks. Furthermore, higher BMI was associated with poorer delayed recall performance. Conclusion: The findings revealed that cardiovascular risk factors may negatively impact cognitive performance in aging.

title: LACTOSE HYDROLYSIS AND ORGANIC ACIDS PRODUCTION IN YOGURT PREPARED WITH DIFFERENT ONSET TEMPERATURES OF ENZYMATIC ACTION AND FERMENTATION

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate lactose hydrolysis between two different initial temperatures of enzymatic and fermentation action to improve the fermentation period by checking the components formed and hydrolysis levels of lactose by HPLC. pH and titratable acidity analysis between treatments - higher initial temperature (HIT), 42 ºC, and lower initial temperature (LIT), 30 ºC - were different (P&lt;0.05) during the fermentation process. HIT obtained lower pH and higher titratable acidity values as 4.6±0.04 and 0.73±0.01 g lactic acid.100 mL-1, respectively, against 4.82±0.01 and 0.64±0.01 g lactic acid.100 mL-1 from LIT. Lactose content was different (P&lt;0.05) between treatments while fermenting; however, at the end of the fermentation, it reached 4.565±0.34 mg.mL-1 and 4.398±0.18 mg.mL-1 for LIT and HIT (P&gt;0,05), respectively. Glucose and galactose remained buoyant during the fermentation period, which indicates its production and consumption at the same time by the lactic acid bacteria involved. The lactic acid concentration in LIT was higher (P&lt;0.05) (18.64±0.62 mg.mL-1) than in HIT (17.56±0.53 mg.mL-1) although citric and acetic acids content decreased throughout the process. In conclusion, the lactase enzyme contributed to reduce the lactose content without affecting the fermentation process. In addition, both treatments obtained lower values of lactose, which is sufficient for the consumption by those who have lactose malabsorption.

title: Ruminal parameters and ruminal degradability of feedlot sheep fed safflower grains

description: SUMMARY This study aimed to evaluate the rumen degradability of dry matter (DM), disappearance of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of Tifton 85 hay, and fermentation parameters (pH and ruminal ammonia nitrogen) of sheep fed diets with inclusion of safflower grains (0, 7.50 and 15%). Three mixed breed lambs with average body weight of 35.50± 1.50 kg were used. The rumen degradability of dry matter and NDF of the Tifton 85 haywas analyzedby the disappearance of DM and NDF, and the kinetic parameters adjusted according to the first order asymptotic model. The samples were incubated in the rumen in descending order (96, 48, 24, 12, 6, 3, 0 hours). The determination of ruminal pH and ruminal ammonia nitrogen (RAN) was performed before feeding and 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after feeding. Data of ruminal fermentation were tested by analysis of variance with repeated measures in time, at 5% probability. Ruminal pH values were not statistically different. When evaluating the RAN, there was a significant difference between the times and treatments for the diet with 15% safflower. The diets presented low effective degradability of DM and NDF with mean values of 18.02% and 47.40%, respectively. The safflower grain can be used up to 7.50% in the diets without altering the degradability and ruminal fermentation.

title: Stock and loss of necromass of trees on a vegetation gradient in the Amazon-Cerrado transition

description: Abstract Necromass is an important component of the decomposition and nutrients cycling in natural ecosystems. Our objective was to evaluate the stock and loss of necromass of the community and of the species in a vegetation gradient of cerrado típico, cerradão and floresta estacional semidecidual, in the Amazônia-Cerrado transition. We estimate, for each vegetation type, the necromass stock, through the diameters of the dead standing trees in 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2013. We also estimate the loss of necromass at both, community and species level, through the diameters of trees who remained standing dead between at least two inventories (2002-2005, 2005-2008, 2008-2011 or 2011-2013). The cerrado típico showed lower stock and loss of necromass than cerradão and floresta estacional. At the species level, there was no relationship between necromass decomposition rates and wood density. The greater stock and loss of necromass in the floresta estacional semidecidual in relation to the cerrado típico can be related to the greater size of the trees, which can provide more canopy cover and favorable microclimate to the action of decomposing organisms. Thus, intrinsic characteristics of each vegetation type may be directly related to the stock and loss of necromass in savanna and forest formations of the Amazônia-Cerrado transition.

title: Pre-interruptive intracoronal resorption: clinical and radiographic follow-up

description: ABSTRACT Pre-interruptive intracoronal resorption is a radiolucent lesion localized in dentin, immediately below the amelodentin junction of unerupted teeth. It is rare, asymptomatic, and of idiopathic etiology, generally diagnosed in routine radiographs or in those for orthodontic purposes. A conservative approach, with radiographic follow-up is the treatment recommended until the tooth erupts, and then the intervention is made. However, in cases with symptoms or progression of the lesion, surgical intervention is advisable. To report a case of pre-interruptive intracoronal resorption, with a conservative approach, showing the clinical and radiographic follow-up of this condition. The patient, a nine-year-old Caucasian girl, presented to the Dental Clinic for routine examination. An initial panoramic radiograph was requested, which showed an intracoronal radiolucence in tooth 45 that had not yet erupted. Clinical and radiographic follow-up was made until the affected tooth was completely established in the oral cavity. The treatment recommended for pre-interruptive intracoronal resorption is to have knowledge of the phenomenon, associate its probable etiology and radiographic aspect, as well as its prevalence, occurrence and treatment options, by considering a conservative approach when there are no symptoms.

title: Rainfall erosivity in Rondon do Pará, PA, Brazil from 1999 to 2015 and projected to 2035

description: This study determined the rainfall erosivity value for the urban area of Rondon do Pará in order to provide information about the city's soil loss. The study also determined the probability of erosion occurrence and the return period projected for the next 20 years. The annual distribution of the erosivity index was analyzed and an estimate was made of the correlation between the average monthly erosivity index and the rainfall coefficient. To accomplish this, two types of rainfall data were obtained: 1) data observed by the CMORPH satellites from 1999 to 2015; and 2) data modelled by the RegCM4 model from 2016 to 2035. Erosivity was calculated based upon these monthly and annual rainfall data. Frequency distributions of erosivity values and their return periods were calculated and probability curves were plotted. Regression analyses between precipitation and erosivity were completed. In the period from 1999 to 2015, the value of the R factor of Rondon do Pará was 16,390 MJ mm ha-1h-1ano-1, with a probability of 47% of being equaled or exceeded at least once each 2.1 years. In the period from 2016 to 2015, the R value was 13,038 MJ mm ha-1h-1year-1. Highest soil losses are probable between February and January from 1999 to 2015 and between January and April from 2016 to 2035. The regression mathematical models that had the best results were the potency and the polynomial models for the years from 1999 to 2015 and 2016 to 2035, respectively.
