This study evaluated stress indicators of juvenile piau (Leporinus friderici) during and after a 4-hour transportation in order to establish an appropriate transportation protocol for this type of fish. Fish were transported in plastic bags (133.1 g/L) and sampled before loading, during 1, 2, 3 and 4 h and after transportation (2, 6, 12 and 24 h). Blood samples were analyzed for cortisol and glucose levels, hematocrit, hemoglobin level, number and mean corpuscular volume of erythrocytes. Water pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature and ammonia were monitored before, during and after transportation. No mortality was observed through the experiment. Ammonia levels increased throughout transportation, but the low pH values kept NH3 in safe levels for fish. Cortisol levels increased within 4 h of transportation, and returned to control condition 2 h after arrival. Plasma glucose increased within one hour of transportation, reaching peak value within 4 h and returning to initial condition 2 h after arrival. Erythrocyte number and hemoglobin levels showed the lowest levels 2 h after arrival, and mean corpuscular volume increased during transportation, decreasing at 12 and 24 h after arrival. Transporting piau is stressful, but fish recover the initial condition in short time, showing tolerance to the changes in the water quality parameters.

The most highly prevalent inherited disease in Brazil and in the world, sickle cell anemia, is considered a public health problem. Characterized by homozygosis for the hemoglobin S gene, the individual has a range of signs and symptoms that require careful treatment. The sickle cell trait is characterized by heterozygosis for the hemoglobin S gene, however the carrier does not express the disease. In the current study we aimed at verifying the presence of the sickle cell trait in 1000 blood donors of the Hematology and Hemotherapy Center of the State of Piauí (Hemopi) in the period from October 2007 to April 2008. After analysis by alkaline and acid electrophoresis, positive cases were confirmed by molecular biology. We obtained rates of 3.4% for hemoglobin AS and 5% for hemoglobin AC, with a total frequency of 3.9% in the total of 1,000 blood donors.

Automotive gasoline consists of a complex mixture of flammable and volatile hydrocarbons derived from crude oil with carbon numbers within the range of 4-12 and boiling points range of 30-225 ºC. Its composition varies with the kind of crude oil and the type of refinery process that they undergone. Aromatics hydrocarbons, in particular benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and isomeric xylenes (BTEX) are the toxic group constituents presents. GC-FID was employed to quantify these hydrocarbons in 50 commercial gasoline samples from Piauí state. Statistical analysis techniques, such as PCA and HCA were used to analyze the data. Moreover, several validation parameters were evaluated.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar o zoneamento agroclimático da cultura da mangueira no Estado do Piauí. Foram utilizados dados médios anuais de precipitação e temperatura do ar, de 15 municípios do Piauí, representativos das principais regiões do Estado para a elaboração do balanço hídrico e a obtenção do Índice de Umidade (Im). Foram adotadas as seguintes faixas de Índice de Umidade (Im): - Aptidão plena A, Im < -40; - Aptidão plena B, -40 < Im <-20. O critério utilizado na divisão do Estado, em zonas térmicas, baseou-se nas normais de temperaturas médias do mês mais quente (Tq) para cada local. Assim sendo, as faixas A e B, com aptidão plena, do ponto de vista hídrico, foram subdivididas em duas subzonas: Aptidão plena A1: (Tq < 29 ºC), Aptidão plena A2: (29 ºC < Tq <31 ºC) e Aptidão plena B1: (Tq < 29 ºC), Aptidão plena B2: (29 ºC < Tq <31 ºC), para atender ao critério térmico. Com base nas cartas de Tq e Im, foram definidos os limites para as diferentes zonas de aptidão climáticas para o cultivo de manga. À luz dos critérios utilizados e com base na literatura consultada, o Estado do Piauí não apresenta nenhuma restrição climática para o cultivo comercial da mangueira.
