title: TRACKING OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS BETWEEN CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE IN SCHOOLCHILDREN

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: In view of the growing prevalence of childhood excess weight and obesity In Brazil In recent decades, it is necessary to observe how this phenomenon occurs in the period of transition to adolescence. Objective: To verify the tracking of excess weight between childhood and adolescence in schoolchildren of both sexes. Methods: The study has a longitudinal design and the data used are part of a prospective study carried out from 2002 to 2005. Participants included 397 schoolchildren of both sexes (211 boys and 186 girls). The nutritional status was determined by the body mass index, and the participants were divided into the following groups: Normal Weight to Normal Weight, Normal Weight to Excess Weight, Excess Weight to Excess Weight, Excess Weight to Normal Weight. The tracking was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Kappa (k) index. Results: A significant difference (P &lt;0.05) was observed between all variables (age and anthropometric indicators) between 2002 and 2005 for boys and girls. The ICC indicated tracking classified as high (ICC = 0.87) for the BMI values, and the tracking percentage showed that 87% of the subjects remained in the same category of normal weight and excess weight. The values of k = 0.68 show good tracking (P &lt;0.001), indicating a strong maintenance of the subjects in the normal and excess weight categories. Conclusion: The tracking percentage was high, indicating that both boys and girls maintained the classification of excess weight during the period analyzed. Level of Evidence II; Lesser quality prospective study (eg, patients enrolled at different points in their disease or &lt;80% followup).

title: MAXIMUM EFFORT TRAINING PERFORMED IN HYPOXIA ALTERS THE MOOD PROFILE

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Physical exercise at high altitude has become constant. However, the risks associated with this type of exercise represent a major concern, considering the influence of important stressors such as hypoxia and physical exercise on psychobiological and physiological responses. Objective: Analyze the mood state and behavior of physiological variables of volunteers subjected to a progressive loading protocol until they reached maximum volitional exhaustion, both at sea level and at a simulated altitude of 4500 meters. Method: For both conditions studied, the volunteers responded to two instruments that assess mood responses: The Brunel Mood Scale and the Visual Analogue Mood Scale. They also underwent blood sampling to measure blood lactate levels and to evaluate oxygen-hemoglobin saturation. These procedures were performed before, immediately after, and 30 and 60 minutes after the end of the protocol. Results: Hypoxia triggered negative effects on mood responses, especially when compared to sea level conditions. An increase in fatigue level (p=0.02) and mental confusion (p=0.04) was observed immediately after the exercise session, and reduction of vigor (p=0.03) was noted at 30 minutes, accompanied by a reduction in oxygen-hemoglobin saturation immediately after the session and at 30 minutes. There was also an increase in blood lactate levels immediately after the session (p=0.006). Conclusion: The particularities of the hypoxic environment associated with maximum exercise are able to cause a deterioration of mood and physiological responses, which can negatively modulate physical performance. This is a cross-sectional clinical study.

title: Synthesis and Optical Properties of Water-Soluble CdTe:Zn2+ Quantum Dots Prepared by the One-Pot Approach

description: This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of ternary CdTe:Zn2+ quantum dots (QDs) passivated with reduced L-glutathione (GSH) dispersed in water. The synthesis was performed through a one-pot approach and their size-dependent optical properties were investigated through steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopies along with the evolving factor analysis/multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (EFA/MCR-ALS) method. Our results show that the incorporation of Zn2+ ions in CdTe:Zn2+ QDs, during the synthesis time, decreases the CdTe:Zn2+ QDs predominant diameter in the ensemble and increases their size dispersion. In addition, fluorescence quantum yield measurements suggest a reduction in the number of surface defects in CdTe:Zn2+ QDs as compared with CdTe QDs, when both are produced from the same synthesis route.

title: Inferior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm after fall from a bicycle: case report

description: Abstract Pseudoaneurysms of gluteal arteries are rare, especially involving the inferior gluteal artery. They are mainly associated with penetrating trauma, infections, or pelvic fractures. A minority of cases are caused by blunt traumas, with only six cases reported in English. We present a case of pseudoaneurysm of the right inferior gluteal artery after a bicycle fall, presenting with a large hematoma in the gluteal region, observed during clinical examination, and significantly reduced hemoglobin. CT angiography revealed a large hematoma, with contrast extravasation and pseudoaneurysm formation. Angiography revealed that the origin of the lesion was in the right inferior gluteal artery. This artery was embolized with coils. After the procedure, the patient was referred to an intensive care unit, from where he was later transferred to a different hospital, with bleeding controlled. Endovascular treatment of these cases is a safe, fast and an effective option.

title: Agronomic performance and genetic divergence between genotypes of Manihot esculenta

description: Abstract The morphoagronomic characterization of 12 genotypes of M. esculenta was performed during the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 crop years. The 12 genotypes were planted in a randomized block design, with four replicates per genotype. Number of tuberous roots per plant, weight of tuberous roots, root yield, total plant weight, harvest index, plant height, height of first branch, number of shoots, stem diameter, number of buds, leaf dry weight and petiole length were evaluated. Genotypes “Camuquem” and “Goiás” were the most productive, and “Amarela” and “Gema de Ovo” were the most divergent. Seventy percent of genetic diversity was due to petiole length (22.86%), root yield (19.20%), weight of tuberous roots (14.89%) and number of buds (13.72%). Overall, the present results indicate a broad genetic basis for the evaluated genotypes, so that such genetic variation benefits the plant breeding for future scenarios Further studies of the evaluated genotypes should be performed under environmental limitations, using biochemical and molecular tools to identify markers for genetic improvement.

title: Soil Physical Quality in Agricultural Systems on the Cerrado of Piauí State, Brazil

description: Abstract Soil quality is essential for maintaining the sustainability of agro-ecosystems and ecosystem services provided by this natural resource. The present study aimed to assess the physical quality of soil through the characterization of the physical properties in grain production systems in the Southwest region of Piauí State, Brazil. The study was carried out in the Cerrado region of Piauí in four cities in areas of expansion of the agricultural frontier of the state: Baixa Grande do Ribeiro, Sebastião Leal, Uruçuí and Bom Jesus. Soil samples were collected in April 2012, in areas of grain production under conventional and no-tillage systems. Adjacent areas with native vegetation were also sampled as reference. Bulk density, effective saturation, hydraulic conductivity, penetration resistance, porosity and aggregation were measured. Regardless of the type of soil management used, agricultural systems degrade soil physical quality. No-tillage showed higher bulk density, penetration resistance and aggregation, with lower total porosity, macroporosity and hydraulic conductivity. The physical quality of soil in the agricultural areas of the Cerrado region of Piauí was dependent on the soil texture, while silt, clay and organic matter were determinant for soil aggregation, mechanical resistance, total porosity and microporosity.

title: Retrieval of Trichostrongylus colubriformis infective larvae from grass contaminated in winter and in spring

description: The survival of infective larvae (L3) of Trichostrongylus colubriformis was evaluated on Brachiaria, Coast-cross and Aruana forage grasses. Feces of sheep parasitized exclusively by T. colubriformis were deposited in winter and spring on experimental plots whose grasses were cut at two heights: 5 cm and 30 cm. One, two, four, eight, 12 and 16 weeks after depositing the feces, fecal and forage samples were collected for the retrieval and quantification of L3. Retrieval of L3 from feces and forage was negligible in winter due to the dry weather, although a few larvae were retrieved in the last larval collections. However, L3 retrieval from fecal samples was greater in spring, especially two weeks after feces were deposited on 30 cm high grasses. At this time, the L3 retrieval rate from the three forage grasses differed significantly (P &lt;0.05), with Aruana grass showing the highest average L3 retrieval rate, followed by Coast-cross and Brachiaria. In conclusion, the winter drought proved very unfavorable for the presence of L3 in the environment, and the microclimate of Aruana pastureland was generally the most favorable for the retrieval of infective larvae.

title: Análise da Preferência do Pescador Artesanal do Município de Pentecoste (CE) por Programas de Peixamento

description: Abstract: The continental fishing has an important role to the livelihood and income of the rural families of the Northeastern region in Brazil. Aiming to increase the catch level of the continental fishing, the National Department of Drought Works (DNOCS) has created the fish stocking program of the public dams. This research aims to reveal the fishers’ preference that live in the municipality of Pentecoste (Ceará State) towards the fish stocking program having as basis their willingness to pay (WTP) for fishing scenarios. To do that, we estimate the willingness to pay for attributes which affect the fisher’s choice for reservoir by the method of environmental valuation, called Choice Experiment. Based upon a sample of 100 fishers, the willingness to pay was estimated according to the conditional and mix logit models. The fisher’s mean WTP to fish at a stocked dam was 50,00 BRL/day that shows the increased fisher’s wellbeing due to the DNOCS’s fishing stocking program. The fisher’s mean WTP to substitute the current fishing experience (status quo) by any other proposed scenario was 89,00 BRL/day, revealing the opportunities of improving the fishing at dams of the semiarid Northeastern region.

title: Diagnosis of Atelosteogenesis Type I suggested by Fetal Ultrasonography and Atypical Paternal Phenotype with Mosaicism

description: Abstract Atelosteogenesis type I (AOI) is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia caused by mutations in the filamin B (FLNB) gene with classic and well-recognizable clinical findings. However, parents affected with a mild phenotype, probably with somatic mosaicism, can generate offspring with a much more severe phenotype of AOI. In the present report, we describe a female newborn with classic AOI leading to early neonatal death, whose diagnostic was based on prenatal radiological findings and on the physical examination of the father. Since her father had limb deformities and corporal asymmetry, suggesting somatic mosaicism, his biological samples were analyzed through a gene panel for skeletal dysplasias. A missense mutation not previously described in the literature was detected in the FLNB gene, affecting ~ 20% of the evaluated cells and, therefore, confirming the diagnosis ofmosaic AOI in the father. The molecular analysis of the father was crucial to suggest the diagnosis of AOI in the newborn, since she died early and there were no biological samples available.
