title: Assessment of the cytogenetics and leaf anatomy of synthetic polyploids of Eucalyptus clones

description: Abstract The induction of polyploidy in Eucalyptus can lead to higher-yielding and more adapted clones, with better wood quality. After artificial polyploidization, it is necessary to certify the effectiveness of the process through cytogenetic analyses and anatomical trait evaluations. Thus, the aim of this study was to certify the chromosome duplication in artificially polyploidized clones of Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla using cytogenetic analysis, flow cytometry, and leaf anatomy measurements. Chromosomal counts and DNA content estimation allowed the identification of artificially polyploidized clones and mixoploids. Polyploid clones had larger stomata diameter than diploids. The increase in stomata size was accompanied by lower stomatal density in most polyploid clones. The typical gigas effect of polyploidized plants was demonstrated by the expressive increase in leaf area in polyploid individuals compared to diploids. Our findings indicate that the use of polyploidy in Eucalyptus breeding is promising, allowing the discrimination of diploid, tetraploid, and mixoploid plants.

title: Soil organic carbon fractions in agroforestry system in Brazil: seasonality and short-term dynamic assessment

description: ABSTRACT Adopting land-uses that contribute with a considerable litter input can affect the accumulation, protection, and bioavailability of organic carbon in the edaphic environment, compromising the different compartments of soil organic matter (SOM) and the associated benefits. Moreover, changes in seasons can influence the dynamic of SOM. Notably, the mechanisms involved in SOM stabilization and storage, particularly in agroforestry production areas, are still poorly explored. This study aimed to verify if the contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and the physical fractions of the SOM are modified as a function of agroforestry systems implemented in the short term, and verify if seasonality can affect the compartmentalization of SOM in agrifood systems. Also, we tested if the carbon management index (CMI) is sensitive to detecting management practices quality across the unmanaged pasture, different agroforestry systems, and a reference area (forest). We measured soil physical properties, SOC content in bulk soil, particular organic carbon (POC), and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) fractions at three different depths (0.00-0.05, 0.05-0.10, and 0.10-0.20 m) in response to the adoption of agroforestry systems. Our results show that after a short period of implementation of agroforestry systems, significant changes were observed in SOC contents and the physical fractions of SOM in the most superficial layers (0.00-0.05 and 0.05-0.10 m), with emphasis on the particulate fraction of SOM. We verified that the seasonality affected the SOC, POC, and MAOC contents. We also found that the CMI index was more sensitive and efficient in detecting changes arising from seasonality and the management practices involved. According to this index, it was possible to verify that the agroforestry system with the highest density of species for biomass production (AS3) has been accumulating more carbon in the soil. Therefore, this study provides relevant information regarding soil carbon management in agroforestry systems.

title: THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN PHYSIOTHERAPIST AND EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST IN THE EXERCISE ONCOLOGY PROGRAM

description: ABSTRACT Exercise is a relevant tool in the oncology rehabilitation program due to restoring functional capacity, improving quality of life, and preventing early cancer mortality, mainly in unfit cancer patients. According to a systematic physical evaluation and risk stratification model, exercise physiologists (or equivalent) and physiotherapists with additional cancer exercise training are candidates to provide and supervise exercise to cancer survivors. However, the referral pathways are unclear, and a few cancer survivors are educated about personalized exercise oncology programs. This article aims to engage and stimulate additional training of Exercise physiologists and Physiotherapists in a collaborative exercise oncology program and proposes a dynamic and supervised model to attend to the emerging multidisciplinary scenario of cancer.

title: Oral and oropharyngeal cancer: time from first symptoms to treatment initiation and associated factors

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the time elapsed from first symptoms to the treatment of oral and oropharyngeal cancer (OOC) and to identify variables associated with treatment delay. This is an observational study with retrospective and prospective data collection. Patients with a diagnosis of OOC seen at the Head and Neck Surgery outpatient clinic of a Brazilian public hospital were included and followed up to treatment initiation. Participants answered a questionnaire for the collection of socioeconomic, demographic, cultural, and clinical information, as well as information about the time elapsed from first symptoms to the first appointment with a head and neck surgeon. Time to treatment was classified into four intervals: 1- first symptoms to first medical appointment; 2- first medical appointment to specialized medical care; 3- specialized medical care to preparation for treatment; and 4- preparation for treatment to treatment initiation. Bivariate statistics were computed. Out of 100 participants, nine died before treatment. Mean time to treatment was 217 days. Highest mean time was observed for interval 2 (94 days), followed by interval 1 (63 days), interval 4 (39 days), and interval 3 (21 days). At interval 1, a longer time was associated with severe alcohol consumption, severe smoking, and family history of cancer. At interval 2, the delay was associated with appointment with a general practitioner, clinical diagnosis of disease other than cancer, and antibiotic prescription. At interval 4, delay in treatment was associated with surgical treatment. Patients with OOC experience delays from symptom onset to treatment initiation. The longest interval was associated with professional delay, followed by patient delay in help-seeking.

title: Evaluation of peripheral nerve fibers and mast cells in burning mouth syndrome

description: Abstract Emerging evidence has revealed a cross-talk in the etiopathogenesis of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) related to peripheral nerve fibers (NF) and neuropeptides secreted by mast cells. Here, we investigated the S-100+ density and PGP 9.5+ integrity of peripheral NF and the tryptase+ mast cell density in the oral mucosa of BMS patients and healthy individuals. A total of 23 oral mucosa specimens (12 BMS and 11 controls) were evaluated. The clinical diagnosis of BMS was based on a careful examination, excluding other local and systemic causes. Samples were taken from an incisional biopsy of the tongue mucosa of individuals with symptomatic BMS, while the margins of the non-neoplastic tongue biopsy served as controls of healthy individuals. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine the density/mm2 of S-100+, PGP 9.5+ peripheral NF, and tryptase+ mast cells. Similar densities of S-100+, PGP 9.5+ peripheral NF, and tryptase+ mast cells were found in cases of BMS, with a median value of 3.70, 0.70, and 29.24/mm2, respectively, and in the control group, with a median value of 2.60, 0.80, and 26.01/mm2, respectively (p &gt; 0.05). Moreover, the relationship between S100+ and PGP 9.5+ peripheral NF was the same in both groups (p = 0.70). This study demonstrated that there were no alterations in the density and integrity of peripheral NF in the tongue of symptomatic BMS patients. However, the sensitization of peripheral NF in this disease may not depend on mast cell density.

title: Ecological and reproductive parameters of the seabob shrimp, Xiphopenaeus spp. (Heller, 1862) on the southern coast of the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil: potential use of less sampling effort

description: Abstract The study investigated the population parameters of the shrimp Xiphopenaeus spp. (commonly known as seabob shrimp) in Anchieta, south coast of the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, focusing on reducing the sampling effort. Shrimp were collected between February 2013 and February 2015. Individuals were measured, analyzed for sex and stage of reproductive development. In total, 1,564 individuals were analyzed in Anchieta, 534 males (74 juveniles and 460 adults) and 663 females (88 juveniles and 575 adults), and 367 individuals were not identified to sex or maturity. Significant differences were observed in shrimp abundance, with higher catches at the shallowest sampling point and associated with the type of substrate (silt+clay), while in the rainy season (September to March) and dry season (April to August) there were no significant differences. Despite this, greater abundances were found in the rainy season. The sex ratio was 0.80♂: 1♀. Carapace length ranged from 5.7 to 28.9 mm, with larger sizes recorded for females, as well as a larger size at first maturation than males, 12.86 and 11.60 mm respectively. All stages of development of the seabob shrimp were observed at the sampling points and periods, which represents a pattern of continuous reproduction and recruitment of the species in the area. Considering the sample size used, which is comparatively smaller than other studies, all estimates confirm current knowledge about the biology of the species and provide robust data on the seabob shrimp off the Anchieta coast, which are necessary for management and conservation.

title: Prenatal repair of gastroschisis using partial carbon dioxide insufflation fetoscopy: lessons learned

description: ABSTRACT We report the long-term outcomes of a case of prenatal gastroschisis repair using a fully percutaneous fetoscopic approach with partial carbon dioxide insufflation. Surgery was performed as an experimental procedure before the scheduled elective birth. The fetal intestines were successfully returned to the abdominal cavity without any fetal or maternal complications. Ultrasonography performed 24 hours later revealed bowel peristalsis and no signs of fetal distress. After 48 hours, partial extrusion of the small bowel was observed, and the fetus was delivered. Gastroschisis repair was immediately performed upon delivery using the EXIT-like procedure as per our institutional protocol. The newborn did not require assisted mechanical ventilation, was discharged at 14 days of age and was then exclusively breastfed. At 3-year follow-up, the patient had no associated gastroschisis-related complications. This is the first case of prenatal repair of gastroschisis, which provides baseline knowledge for future researchers on the potential hurdles and management of prenatal repair.

title: INFLUENCE OF THE SIZE OF THE CITIES OF BIRTH AND RESIDENCE IN THE SPORTS CAREER: AN ANALYSIS THROUGH THE BOLSA-ATLETA PROGRAM

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify whether the size of municipalities in which Brazilian high-performance athletes are born or live influences the federal government subsidy, in addition to pointing out whether factors such as human development index, demographic density and municipal investment in sports also exert influence. The sample consisted of 2,033 Brazilian municipalities that had athletes, born or resident, receiving the Brazilian incentive Bolsa-Atleta program. The size of municipalities influences the amount and level of grant obtained, demonstrating that the smaller the population size, the lower the chance of obtaining a higher grant level. In addition, factors such as human development index, demographic density and investment in sport influence the acquisition of grants by athletes, mainly by resident athletes, which shows an internal sports migration in the country as a result.

title: Wage rigidity and unemployment: a comment on Kohn

description: ABSTRACT This paper examines loanable fund models with a stabilized interest rate, in which the banking system bridges the gap between the flow of demand and the provision of funds. A typical Mickselian model is developed to emphasize the importance of credit and inflation (deflation) in closing the gap between savings and investment. Substituting the nominal interest rate for the real - an appropriate modification in a model whose inflation is relevant - and using the Robertsonian definition of income, we realize that, depending on the reaction of ‘lacking’ and investment to inflation, there is the possibility of the system become unstable. By introducing unemployment into the system, we realize that investment is more sensitive than the lack of inflation, the greater the degree of wage flexibility, the greater the level of unemployment balance, in the face of the demand shock, and the greater the chances of macroeconomic instability. Finally, we demonstrate that if we replace the Robertsonian definition of income with Keynesian, investment becomes more sensitive to inflation, making wage rigidity necessarily a good deal.
