title: Double burden of malnutrition as a risk factor for overweight and obesity

description: ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To assess the longitudinal effect of double burden of malnutrition (DBM) on the risk of developing child and adolescent overweight or obesity. METHODS Analysis of the Peruvian Young Lives Study, younger cohort: baseline (2002) and 4 follow-ups (2006–2007, 2009–2010, 2013–2014, and 2016–2017). Outcomes were the incidence of overweight and obesity as defined by the World Health Organization standards. The exposure comprised a variable with 4 categories: non-stunted child with a non-overweight mother (reference group), non-stunted child with an overweight mother, stunted child with a non-overweight mother, and stunted child with an overweight mother (i.e., DBM). Poisson regression models were built to assess the association of interest, and relative risks (RR) and 95%CI were reported. RESULTS Data from 2,034 children; 50.0% were girls and the mean age was 12.0 (3.6) months at baseline. Non-stunted children with an overweight mother had greater risk (RR = 1.64; 95%CI: 1.35–1.99) of developing overweight, compared with the risk for stunted children with a non-overweight mother (RR = 1.38; 95%CI: 1.10–1.72), and for those with DBM (RR = 1.28; 95%CI: 1.02–1.61). When compared with the reference group, obesity risk was greater among non-stunted children with an overweight mother (RR = 2.33; 95%CI: 1.68–3.22), greater among stunted children with a non-overweight mother (RR = 2.59; 95%CI: 1.75–3.84), and greater among those with DBM (RR = 2.14; 95%CI: 1.39–3.28). CONCLUSIONS DBM is a risk factor for childhood overweight and obesity in Peru. Dual-duty policies tackling both undernutrition in children and overweight in mothers are needed to reduce DBM and its future effects in Peru.

title: INFLUENCE OF CORE STRENGTH TRAINING ON PELVIC GIRDLE STRENGTH IN TABLE TENNIS PLAYERS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction Core strength training has attracted much attention in modern competitive sports. Objective Study the effect of core strength training on pelvic girdle strength in table tennis players. Methods 50 students aged 12-14 from the table tennis club of an elementary school affiliated with a normal university were divided into a control group and an experimental group. They performed a one-week training of core strength exercises. Through a series of technical index tests, the data before and after using these strength training methods were obtained for comparative analysis. Results After the core strength training, there was no significant difference between the other four indices in the experimental group and the control group, except for the fact that there was a significant difference in the performance of running around the platform (P &lt; 0.05). Conclusion After the experiment, the four indexes reflecting the strength of the core muscle group in the experimental group were significantly optimized, while the four indexes in the control group were not significant, showing that core strength training has a more significant effect on improving the strength of the core muscle group. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

title: The dune landscape as a central axis for teaching Geosciences in basic education in coastal areas

description: Abstract: Studies show that even in the first years of elementary school (EFI), the contents of Geosciences are present in subjects like Science and Geography, although they are often not recognized as geoscientific, which results in decontextualized teaching. By recognizing the importance of this object, the purpose of this study was - based on the verification of the contents of Geosciences covered in EFI in a public school - to propose a structuring theme based on the geological context of the municipality. To do that, this study compiled information from studies that investigated the contents of Geosciences in Science and Geography books in the municipal school system and, as a result, it was observed that these contents represent 16.44% in this teaching cycle and are more expressive from the 3rd year on. The local landscape was found to be suitable for promoting articulation with other geoscientific subjects. In the studied context, the dune landscape is proposed as a likely articulator of Geosciences contents.

title: GENETIC VARIABILITY OF Parkia platycephala POPULATIONS: SUPPORT FOR DEFINING SEED COLLECTION AREAS

description: ABSTRACT Loss of genetic variability in natural populations affects negatively the adaptive and evolutive process of plant species. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the existing genetic variability between and within natural populations of P. platycephala, using biometric characters of fruits and seeds and physiological characters of seeds and seedlings, and, thus, assess the potential for selection of mother trees, indicate areas for seed collection and use, and generate support for conservation and pre-breeding of plant species. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with 45 treatments (progenies) and four replications of 25 seeds. The progenies were evaluated in laboratory, using seeds collected from 45 mother trees sampled in three natural populations. The following characters were evaluated: seed germination percentage, germination speed index, and mean germination time; shoot and main root lengths; and seedling shoot and root dry weights. The data were subjected to RELM/BLUP analysis for estimating genetic parameters and correlations and to analyses of genetic divergence (UPGMA). The populations present genetic differences to each other and a significant variation between progenies for all characters evaluated, and the variation was greater within the populations. The characters evaluated present high genetic control; therefore, they can be used in analysis of genetic variability of populations and progenies of P. platycephala, thus assisting in the identification of areas for seed collection, conservation programs, and pre-breeding of the species.

title: MOTILITY AND MIGRATION OF NEMATODES IN SALINE ENVIRONMENTS

description: ABSTRACT Plant parasitic nematodes cause severe agricultural damage in Northeast Brazil. Additionally, soil salinization, especially in the semiarid region of the Northeast, is another factor that limits crop yield. The study evaluated the motility of Meloidogyne enterolobii and Pratylenchus coffeae, and the vertical migration of P. coffeae under saline conditions. Motility was assessed by submitting juveniles of the second stage of M. enterolobii and juveniles and adults of P. coffeae to saline solutions of NaCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2 at concentrations of 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 M, and in a mixed solution (combination of the three salts in a 7:2:1 ratio) at 2, 4, 6, and 8 days of exposure. The migration of P. coffeae was studied in segmented columns of 10 cm in length and 4.40 cm in internal diameter, filled with saline soil (mixture of NaCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2) and non-saline, whose evaluations were carried out at 2, 4, and 6 days after soil infestation. The motility and number of active juveniles of both nematodes reduced with increasing saline concentration. From 0.50 M, M. enterolobii activity was not observed in any of the exposure periods to NaCl and CaCl2. The increase in the concentrations of NaCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2 exponentially reduced the number of active P. coffeae, decreasing its activity from 0.75 M. The vertical migration of P. coffeae in the soil was negatively affected by salinity, presenting a more uniform distribution in the non-saline soil.

title: Communication in radiology: evaluation of terminology and TNM descriptor use at a cancer center

description: Abstract Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the transmission of information from radiologists to physicians, focusing on the level of certainty and the use of imaging descriptors from the tumor–node–metastasis (TNM) staging system. Materials and Methods Radiologists (n = 56) and referring physicians (n = 50) participated in this questionnaire-based, single-center study, conducted between March 20, 2020, and January 21, 2021. Participants were presented with terms commonly used by the radiologists at the institution and were asked to order them hierarchically in terms of the level of certainty they communicate regarding a diagnosis, using a scale ranging from 1 (most contrary to) to 10 (most favoring). They then assessed TNM system descriptors and their interpretation. Student’s t-tests and the kappa statistic were used in order to compare the rankings of the terms of certainty. Items related to T and N staging were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test. The confdence level was set to 97% (p &lt; 0.03). Results: Although overall agreement among the radiologists and referring physicians on term ranking was poor (kappa = 0.10–0.35), the mean and median values for the two groups were similar. Most of the radiologists and referring physicians (67% and 86%, respectively) approved of the proposal to establish a standard lexicon. Such a lexicon, based on the participant responses, was developed and graphically represented. Regarding the TNM system descriptors, there were significant differences between the two groups in the reporting of lymph node numbers, of features indicating capsular rupture, and of vessel wall irregularities, as well as in the preference for clear descriptions of vascular involvement. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that ineffective communication and differences in report interpretation between radiologists and referring physicians are still prevalent in the fields of radiology and oncology. Efforts to gain a better understanding of those impediments might improve the objectivity of reporting and the quality of care.
