title: Nematodes (Mermithidae) parasitizing grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in the Pampean region, Argentina

description: Abstract This work provides the results of a survey of entomonematodes parasites of grasshoppers in grasslands of the Pampean Region, Argentina. Nymphs of Staurorhectus longicornis Giglio-Tos, Laplatacris dispar Rhen, 1939, Dichroplus elongatus Giglio-Tos, 1894 and Metaleptea brevicornis (L.) (Orthoptera: Acrididae) were collected. Mermithidae was the only family registered with seven species: Agamermis decaudata Cobb, Steiner and Christie, 1923, Amphimermis bonaerensis Miralles and Camino, 1983, Amphimermis dichroplusi Camino and Lange, 1997, Amphimermis ronderosi Camino and Lange, 1997, Hexamermis coclhearius Stock and Camino, 1992, Hexamermis ovistriata Stock and Camino, 1992, and Longimermis acridophila Camino and Stock, 1989. The values of parasitism ranged between 1-12%, and intensity not overcome the number of 5.0 nematodes per larva. The nematodes observed showed specificity, not registering the same species of parasite in more than one host species. The Pampean region constituted an area with high diversity of mermithids where new species could be consider as bioregulator agents of this troublesome insect pests in agricultural areas of Argentina.

title: Health benefits of subcutaneous zinc edetate and diphenyl diselenide in calves during the weaning period

description: Abstract: The aims of this study were to investigate whether treatments with zinc edetate (Zn) and diphenyl diselenide ((PhSe)2) enhance performance, immune responses, protein metabolism, and oxidant/antioxidant status in calf serum and muscle. Animals were divided into four groups (n=6 each): control (without supplementation), and groups supplemented on days 50 and 70 of life with (PhSe)2, Zn, and a combination of (PhSe)2 and Zn. Animals treated with (PhSe)2 gained more weight by experimental day 220 than did the control group, but there was no difference by the end of the experiment (day 300). The absolute number of leukocytes and lymphocytes increased in groups Zn and (PhSe)2+Zn on day 20 of experiment, but decreased on day 40 in groups (PhSe)2, and (PhSe)2+Zn. The number of monocytes decreased in all groups compared with control. One of the principal findings was that (PhSe)2+Zn together had beneficial effects on protein metabolism, represented by increases total protein and globulin levels, compared with the control group. The combination of (PhSe)2 and Zn led to low levels of TBARS and ROS in serum and muscle, and stimulated antioxidant enzyme activities. Thus, supplementation with (PhSe)2+Zn may be a compelling approach to augmenting the calf antioxidant system during weaning.

title: Sexo da criança e estrutura domiciliar no Brasil: viés dos pais e dos avós?

description: Abstract Brazil has a high rate of mothers living without a partner as well as a high intergenerational co-residence rate, including parents and grandparents. These family types may influence a child’s well-being. Even though there is no evidence of sex-selective abortion in Brazil, sex preference could still be subtly present. This paper tests the composition of family structure (father co-residence, grandmother co-residence, and birth of siblings) in Brazil associated with the sex of the child by using a nationally representative household survey, treating sex of the first and second child as exogenous variables in OLS regressions. I found women with lower birth-order daughters are less likely to live with a partner. I also found suggestive evidence that maternal grandmothers are more likely to live with granddaughters than with grandsons. Women with lower birth-order daughters are more likely to have additional children. Evidence suggests that in Brazil, fathers show a preference for sons over daughters, while grandmothers show a preference for granddaughters over grandsons. Additionally, mothers of girls, without co-residing partners may compensate for the economic loss caused by their lack of partner by living with their own mother. This contributes to the literature on child sex preferences, which has mostly focused on males (fathers); I have analyzed data on grandmothers to include females.

title: Commercialization relations between buyers and milk producers of the south of Minas Gerais

description: Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the existing correlations of milk buyers with rural producers in eight cities in the South of Minas Gerais and to verify the influence of these relationships on several factors of production in the economic results from dairy production and other areas of activity required for dairy production. For this, field interviews were conducted with 115 rural producers from the cities of Campestre, Caldas, Elói Mendes, Paraguaçu, Poço Fundo, Poços de Caldas, Ipuiuna and Machado. After the data collection, analyzes were carried out to verify the relationship between several factors of production that are impacted by the commercial relations between milk producers and the companies purchasing the product in the region. The results allow us to conclude that several factors necessary for the productive process are influenced by the relationship between the mentioned agents and the result of the commercialization processes can impact not only the economic results but also on other areas of the dairy activity required for the productive process.

title: Characteristics and outcomes of patients with community-acquired and hospital-acquired sepsis

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with community-acquired and hospital-acquired sepsis. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study that included all patients with a diagnosis of sepsis detected between January 2010 and December 2015 at a private hospital in southern Brazil. Outcomes (mortality, intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay) were measured by analyzing electronic records. Results: There were 543 hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of sepsis, with a frequency of 90.5 (85 to 105) cases/year. Of these, 319 (58%) cases were classified as hospital-acquired sepsis. This group exhibited more severe disease and had a larger number of organ dysfunctions, with higher hospital [8 (8 - 10) versus 23 (20 - 27) days; p &lt; 0.001] and intensive care unit [5 (4 - 7) versus 8.5 (7 - 10); p &lt; 0.001] lengths of stay and higher in-hospital mortality (30.7% versus 15.6%; p &lt; 0.001) than those with community-acquired sepsis. After adjusting for age, APACHE II scores, and hemodynamic and respiratory dysfunction, hospital-acquired sepsis remained associated with increased mortality (OR 1.96; 95%CI 1.15 - 3.32, p = 0.013). Conclusion: The present results contribute to the definition of the epidemiological profile of sepsis in the sample studied, in which hospital-acquired sepsis was more severe and was associated with higher mortality.

title: Effect of Self-Etching Primer Associated to Hydrofluoric acid or Silane on Bonding to Lithium Disilicate

description: Abstract To evaluate the effect of combining 5% hydrofluoric acid (HF) and silane (SI) with the self-etching ceramic primer on the immediate and after 1-year of water storage on bonding efficacy, conditioning pattern (CP) and chemical interaction (CI) to the lithium disilicate. A total of 16 CAD/CAM blocks of lithium disilicate (LD) were cut into four square sections (n=64). For bonding efficacy evaluation, the LD specimens were divided into 4 groups (n=10): 1) HF+SI; 2) self-etching ceramic primer (MEP); 3) HF+MEP; 4) MEP+SI. After each treatment, an adhesive system was applied and Tygon matrices were filled with a dual-cured resin cement followed by light curing. Cylinder specimens (0.8 mmx0.5mm) were stored in water (37 °C for 24 h or 1-year) and submitted to the μSBS test (2-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test; a=0.05). CP and CI were only evaluated qualitatively. No significant difference on the μSBS was observed between groups (p=0.73), but reduced μSBS was observed after 1-year of water storage (p&gt;0.0001). After application of HF+SI and MEP, reduction in a number of siloxane bonds was observed, suggesting the coupling of SI on the LD surface. HF or HF+MEP produced a higher dissolution of the glassy matrix than the use of MEP alone. The MEP can be an alternative to traditional ceramic treatment once the chemical interaction and long-term bond strength were similar between both groups. The association of hydrofluoric acid or silane with a self-etching ceramic primer did not add any benefits in terms of chemical interaction and bonding stability.

title: Acute cerebellar ataxia: differential diagnosis and clinical approach

description: ABSTRACT Cerebellar ataxia is a common finding in neurological practice and has a wide variety of causes, ranging from the chronic and slowly-progressive cerebellar degenerations to the acute cerebellar lesions due to infarction, edema and hemorrhage, configuring a true neurological emergency. Acute cerebellar ataxia is a syndrome that occurs in less than 72 hours, in previously healthy subjects. Acute ataxia usually results in hospitalization and extensive laboratory investigation. Clinicians are often faced with decisions on the extent and timing of the initial screening tests, particularly to detect treatable causes. The main group of diseases that may cause acute ataxias discussed in this article are: stroke, infectious, toxic, immune-mediated, paraneoplastic, vitamin deficiency, structural lesions and metabolic diseases. This review focuses on the etiologic and diagnostic considerations for acute ataxia.

title: Living conditions, physical inactivity and sedentary behavior in young people in urban and rural areas

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Little evidence highlights aspects of living conditions in adolescents living in urban and rural areas. Objective: To valuate indicators of living conditions associated to prevalence of physical activity level below the re-commendations (NAFAR) and exposure to sedentary behavior (ECS) in students in urban and rural areas of Sergipe, Brazil. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional school-based study. The sample was composed of 3,992 students, aged 14-19 years. Results: The prevalence of adolescents with NAFAR was 77.5% (urban, 76%; rural, 80.0%) and ECS 46.7% (urban, 50.2%; rural, 41.2%). In urban areas, there was an association of ECS with the territory, period of study, maternal level of education, the adolescent's occupation and family income. The NAFAR was associated with residing with father and the father's work. In rural areas, ECS was associated to the period of study, the adolescent's occupation and family income. The NAFAR was associated with the adolescent's occupation. Conclusion: The results showed that the NAFAR and ECS were related to different indicators of living conditions, suggesting several interventions considering the place of residence.

title: Development speeches: (in) visibility of social, modernity and progress in Imperatriz, MA

description: Abstract: Starting from the analysis of the discourses produced regarding the implementation of the "modern" multinational Suzano Papel e Celulose, in the municipality of Imperatriz, MA, the research discusses the processes of invisibilization of the "other" in the discursive processes related to the "development". In order to do so, we use the contributions of authors such as Escobar (2005; 2007), Castro-Gómez (2005), Pinto and Mignolo (2015) and others who help us think about the tension between traditional knowledge and industrial modernity, about how important social actors and institutions stand on economic projects in the Maranhão Amazon.
