title: Silage of the agro-industrial co-product of babassu palm heart processing in sheep feed

description: ABSTRACT: The inner bark or less tender sheath generated from industrial manufacture of canned babassu palm (Attalea speciosa) heart is inadequate for human consumption, often being discarded inappropriately and giving rise to environmental pollution. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to assess the intake and digestibility in sheep fed on silage of the agro-industrial co-product of babassu palm (ICBP)enriched with different additives, or on sugarcane silage. Fifteen Santa Inês sheep were distributed in a completely randomized design, consisting of five treatments and three replicates. The treatments comprised babassu palm silage enriched with broken maize (BM), broken rice (BR), cassava scrapings (CS), coffee husk combined with maize kernel (CC), and sugarcane silage (SC), all supplemented with concentrate, at a voluminous:concentrate ratio of 65:35. Silages based on ICBP and SC had similar intake of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), and non-fibrous carbohydrate (NFC). Increasing the additive fraction in ICBP silages favored the digestibility of DM, OM, CP, NFC, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and total digestible nutrients (TDN). Our results indicated that silage based on additive-enriched ICBP can be used in the diet of ruminants, especially those based on broken maize and cassava scrapings that provide superior nutritional quality compared to the other silages assessed.

title: State of art of landfills that use biogas for the generation of electrical energy and biomethane in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The use of biogas generated by the decomposition of organic matter from urban solid waste, besides being a renewable source of energy, also contributes to the reduction of the methane and carbon dioxide’s release into the atmosphere, which are significant greenhouse effect gases (GHG). However, biogas is little explored in the country and its potential remains controversial, mainly due to the different adopted methodologies of evaluation. This research shows that, between 2004 and 2015, only nine thermoelectric plants were implanted in waste landfills in the country, which together generated 86.3MW of electricity and two plants that produced biomethane. Considering the existing estimates, Brazil exploits only 7 to 20% of the biogas produced in landfills for energy purposes.

title: Perception of Effectiveness of the Teaching Methods Used in a Medical Course in Northeast Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Medical education is in a process of transformation, particularly in terms of the diversification of the teaching methods used. However, the use and correct implementation of these new methods still present real challenges. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the perceptions and opinions of teachers and students regarding the effectiveness of the teaching methods used on the Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN) medical course. For this purpose, an exploratory descriptive study was carried out, with a transversal character. Data collection was carried out from July 2015 to June 2016. A total of 140 students (82.5% of the medical course students) and 80 teachers (55% of the faculty) were interviewed. The subjects were of both sexes, and from all periods and curricular components of the course. After reading and signing a consent form, the participants were interviewed, with objective and subjective questions that sought to obtain their sociodemographic data, and their opinions and perceptions of the teaching-learning methods used by the teaching staff. The results were submitted to descriptive statistics and Pearson’s χ2 test or Fisher’s Exact, using the PEPI and PAST software, and considering values of p ≤ 0.05 as significant. The interviewees’ opinions and suggestions were represented in the form of a word cloud, using WordArt software. Traditional methods were the most frequently used techniques (76.0% of teachers), and were considered more effective than contemporary methods by both the teachers (78.0%) and the students (92.0%). However, a high proportion of the interviewees (75.0% of the teachers and 73.6% of the students) said that they would like to use and experience other didactic-pedagogical methods as a way to improve learning. It was also observed that length of teaching experience, and whether or not the teacher held a postgraduation qualification, were significantly associated with the use of more contemporary teaching-learning methods. It is therefore concluded that lack of teaching experience and experience with other teaching methodologies, together with the strenuous workload of the course, can pose hindrances to the implementation and acceptance of more contemporary methodologies. We note the urgent need to promote didactic-pedagogical training for the teaching staff, as well as the implementation of the Pedagogical Project of the Course, in order to promote the development of student-centered methodologies, in line with current teaching recommendations for courses in the area of health, especially Medicine.

title: Pierre Robin Syndrome associated with type III familial Duane Retraction Syndrome

description: Abstract The Pierre Robin Syndrome (PRS) consists of a triad of anomalies characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis and fissure of the palate, usually associated with other syndromes e occasionally associated with ocular variations. In Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS), there is a failure in the lateral rectus innervation by the VI cranial nerve, with anomalous innervation of the lateral rectus by fibers of the III nerve. Even though PRS has already been associated with more than 50 other syndromes, there is not any report in literature of association with familial DRS. Thus, this work aims to report a case of this association in a 29 years old patient with recurrence of the syndromes in the family.

title: Temporal progression of wheat blast as a function of primary inoculum, fungicide application and genotype resistance

description: ABSTRACT In Brazil, there are few studies on the epidemiology of wheat blast; consequently, little information has been generated about the disease progress. This study evaluated the temporal progression of wheat blast in four genotypes subjected to chemical control and to different amounts of primary inoculum of Pyricularia graminis-tritici in the field. The genotypes BRS 264, VI 98053, CD 116 and CD 104 were inoculated with five volumes of fungal suspension (concentration of 1.5 x 105 spores.mL-1), in order to obtain, respectively, five percentages (0, 5, 10 , 20 and 30%) of plants inoculated in the experimental unit. The intensity of blast was quantified based on the incidence and the severity of this disease in spikes and flag leaves. Evaluations were performed at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 days after inoculation (DAI). The obtained regression equations were significant and adjusted to the logistic model. Application of the fungicide (pyraclostrobin plus epoxiconazole) delayed the onset of blast symptoms in the genotypes and, when combined with the moderately resistant cultivar (CD 116), had better efficiency in reducing the disease. The cultivars BRS 264 and CD 104 presented higher incidence and severity in the spikes according to time. In general, the genotypes present low severity of blast in flag leaves (&lt;0.45 %) and a low temporal progression in the different amounts of inoculum of P. graminis-tritici. In the region of Viçosa-MG, Brazil, under the studied conditions of artificial inoculum, the cultivar CD 116 is confirmed as moderately resistant to blast and the genotypes BRS 264, VI 98053 and CD 104 are susceptible.

title: The long-term effects of platelet-rich plasma in diabetic dry eye: a series of cases

description: Abstract Objective: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of autologous platelet -rich plasma (PRP) in the symptomatic dry eye of diabetic patients after 6 months of treatment suspension. Methods: A single intervention group, prospective study, series of cases; ten diabetic patients with refractory dry eye disease who used PRP and were reassessed 6 months after discontinuation of treatment. At the initial stage 221 diabetic patients were evaluated for dry eye, of these 12 were submitted to CPC, and evaluated for symptoms, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), TFBUT (Tear Film Break Up Time) and Schirmer’s Test. At this stage of the study, patients were recruited after 6 months of CCP suspension, and the OSDI, TFBUT and Schirmer test scores were reviewed. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the OSDI and TFBUT scores between the baseline (before PRP treatment) and after 1 month of PRP use; between the baseline and after 6 months of PRP use, and between the values after 1 month of use and after 6 months of non-use (p = 0.005, p = 0.010 and p = 0.028, p = 0.04, p = 0 , 03 and p = 0.02, respectively). Schirmer test values had no significant difference in any of the comparisons (p = 0.09, p = 0.26, p = 0.47 respectively). Conclusions: PRP after 6 months of use presents evidence that it would still be effective even with suspension of eye drops.

title: Acerola residue in feed for quails

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the inclusion of the acerola residue in broiler quail diets on productive performance, carcass yield, intestinal biometry, and poultry economic viability at 42 days of age. Four hundred one-day unsexed European quail were distributed in a completely randomized experimental design with five inclusion levels (0.0, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0 and 12.0%) of residue of acerola, with eight replicates and 10 birds per experimental unit.No significant differences (P&gt;0.05) were observed for weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, absolute weights and carcass yields, and noble cuts (chest, thigh and sobrecoxa). There was a linear effect (P&lt;0.05) for absolute and relative weights of liver and gizzard. The intestinal biometry of the birds were not (P&gt;0.05) influenced by the inclusion levels of the acerola residue. The acerola residue can be used as an alternative ingredient in European quails diets up to a 12% inclusion level, without compromising productive performance, poultry carcass yield and economic viability.

title: Methods for inoculation of Fusarium solani and Sclerotium rolfsii in melon plants.

description: ABSTRACT Melon rot, caused by Fusarium solani (Mart.), and Sclerotium wilt, caused by the pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc, are important diseases that affect melon plants. Suitable methodologies for the inoculation of these pathogens in plants are of great importance to studies involving the control of these diseases, such as resistance of different melon accessions. Thus, the present study aimed to determine methods for the inoculation of F. solani and S. rolfsii in melon plants in order to verify a suitable and efficient inoculation methodology for studies with these pathogens. Two experiments were conducted in a greenhouse. In the first experiment, 4 inoculation methods were studied for F. solani in 5 melon accessions. In the second experiment, 5 inoculation methods were tested for S. rolfsii in 4 accessions of the same crop. Experimental design was in randomized blocks with 5 replicates. The used inoculation methods were: inoculation with toothpicks colonized with structures of the pathogen, PDA discs with structures of the fungus, soil infestation with rice colonized with structures of the fungus, and soil infestation with corn colonized with structures of the fungus. For S. rolfsii, the method of sclerotia was added. In both experiments, melon seeds of the cultivars Iracema, Olimpic, A-16, A-50 and A-15 were employed, except A-15 for S. rolfsii. The SAS F1_LD_F1 macro software was adopted to perform the analysis of variance. For F. solani, toothpick and infested rice were the most efficient methodologies. Infested rice was the most efficient method for the fungus S. rolfsii.
