Alterações endócrinas e metabólicas em pacientes HIV positivos com lipodistrofia

A lipodistrofia do HIV e evento comum em pacientes em uso de terapia antiretroviral fortemente ativa (HAART). O presente estudo avalia as alterações metabolicas e endocrinas em pacientes que apresentam lipodistrofia. Foram avaliados 40 pacientes com lipodistrofia e classificados em lipoatrofia, lipohipertrofia (lipoacumulacao) e lipodistrofia mista e analisadas as alterações endocrinas e metabolicas. As variáveis estudadas foram: resistência insulínica pelo HOMA-IR (Homeostasis Model Assesment Insulin Resistance), teste oral de tolerancia a glicose, TSH, T4 livre, cortisol, DHEA, prolactina, testosterona em homens, FSH, LH e estradiol nas mulheres, colesterol total e fracoes (HDL e LDL), acido úrico, ureia, creatinina, AST e ALT, medidas antropométricas (peso, estatura, índice de massa corpórea, circunferência abdominal, quadril, relação cintura/quadril), densitometria óssea e avaliação de esteatose hepática por ultrassonografia abdominal. A lipo-hipertrofia isolada ocorreu em sua totalidade no sexo feminino (p <0,05). A média de idade foi semelhante nos três grupos, sem variação na distribuição por faixa etária. Dislipidemia ocorreu em todos os grupos após o inicio da terapia anti-retroviral (lipodistrofia mista, 100%, lipo-hipertrofia, 80% e lipoatrofia 70%). Variáveis antropométricas mostram elevação da cintura abdominal em mulheres com lipo-hipertrofia. (98,2 + 13,4) e menores em mulheres com lipoatrofia (76,8 + 6,1). Pacientes com lipoatrofia apresentam-se eutroficos (82,4%), e pacientes com lipo-hipertrofia apresentam sobrepeso ou obesidade (60%). Foi encontrada associação entre osteoporose e sexo masculino (p < 0,05) alta prevalência de dislipidemia (85%) e síndrome metabólica (37,5%) em todos os grupos estudados. A síndrome metabólica esteve associada com a lipo-hipertrofia. Não foram encontradas alterações significativas na tireoide, cortisol, relação cortisol/DHEA, testosterona, FSH, LH e prolactina. Conclusão: O sexo feminino apresenta forte associação com a lipo-hipertrofia isolada. A lipo-hipertrofia parece estar associado com a síndrome metabólica e resistência insulínica. Os homens tem maiores risco de desenvolvimento de osteopenia e osteoporose. Esteatose hepática, apesar de bastante comum não esta associado a um tipo particular de lipodistrofia. Alterações hormonais não são eventos comuns em pacientes com lipodistrofia do HIV.

Influence of spray mixture volume and flight height on herbicide deposition in aerial applications on pastures

The objective of the present study was to analyze the influence of spray mixture volume and flight height on herbicide deposition in aerial applications on pastures. The experimental plots were arranged in a pasture area in the district of Porto Esperidião (Mato Grosso, Brazil). In all of the treatments, the applications contained the herbicides aminopyralid and fluroxypyr (Dominum) at the dose of 2.5 L c.p. ha-1, including the adjuvant mineral oil (Joint Oil) at the dose of 1.0 L and a tracer to determine the deposition by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (rhodamine at a concentration of 0.6%). The experiment consisted of nine treatments that comprised the combinations of three spray volumes (20, 30 and 50 L ha-1) and three flight heights (10, 30 and 40 m). The results showed that, on average, there was a tendency for larger deposits for the smallest flight heights, with a significant difference between the heights of 10 and 40 m. There was no significant difference among the deposits obtained with the different spray mixture volumes.

Seleção de características morfofuncionais de cavalos da raça Mangalarga Marchador por meio da análise de componentes principais

Records from 14,288 animals of the Mangalarga Marchador breed, born from 1990 to 2005, were used to discard morphofunctional traits in a principal component analysis. The following traits were used: height at withers, height at croup, lengths of head, neck, back, croup, hip length and body, widths of head, hip width, thorax perimeter, cannon bone circumference and gait score. For the traits considered it was observed that 7 principal components showed variation lower than 0.7; suggesting that seven variables could be discarded. The reason is that when variable are highly correlated with the principal components of smaller variance, their variation is practically insignificant. Based on those results the recommendation is to maintain the following traits for future research with this database: gait score, height at croup, length of back, length of croup, width of head and cannon bone circumference.

Initial height of pasture deferred and utilized in winter and tillering dynamics of signal grass during the following spring

Tillering dynamics during regrowth in the spring (September to December 2009) on signal grass (Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk) pastures deferred in the beginning of April 2009 is evaluated. Four pasture heights were evaluated at the beginning of deferment (10, 20, 30 and 40 cm). The experimental design consisted of completely randomized blocks with two replications. Rise in pasture height at the beginning of deferment decreased the appearance rate, increased the mortality rate and reduced the survival rate, the balance between appearance and mortality and the stability index of the tiller population at the beginning of the spring. Pastures deferred at initial height of 30 and 40 cm presented relatively stable tiller appearance rate between the beginning and end of spring. However, these pastures presented greater mortality rate, lower survival rate, lower balance between appearance and mortality and lower stability index of the tiller population at the beginning of spring when compared to rates at the end of spring. Pastures managed with shorter initial heights (10 and 20 cm) provided more tissue renewal in the subsequent growth season after their utilization in the winter.

Predictive capacity of anthropometric indicators for abdominal fat in the oldest old

Cardiovascular diseases are a growing public health problem that affects most people over the age of 65 years and abdominal obesity is one of the risk factors for the development of these diseases. There are several methods that can be used to measure body fat, but their accuracy needs to be evaluated, especially in specific populations such as the elderly. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of anthropometric indicators to estimate the percentage of abdominal fat in subjects aged 80 years or older. A total of 125 subjects ranging in age from 80 to 95 years (83.5 ± 3), including 79 women (82.4 ± 3 years) and 46 men (83.6 ± 3 years), were studied. The following anthropometric indicators were used: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). The percentage of abdominal fat was measured by DEXA. Sensitivity and specificity were analyzed using an ROC curve. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC were 0. 578, 0. 934 and 0. 756 for BMI, respectively; 0.703, 0.820 and 0.761 for WC; 0.938, 0.213 and 0.575 for WHR, and 0.984, 0.344 and 0.664 for WHtR. BMI and WC were the anthropometric indicators with the largest area under the curve and were therefore more adequate to identify the presence or absence of abdominal obesity.

Cardiovascular risk and mortality in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing dialysis: sleep study, pulmonary function, respiratory mechanics, upper airway collapsibility, autonomic nervous activity, depression, anxiety, stress and quality of life: a prospective, double blind, randomized controlled clinical trial

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most serious public health problems. The increasing prevalence of CKD in developed and developing countries has led to a global epidemic. The hypothesis proposed is that patients undergoing dialysis would experience a marked negative influence on physiological variables of sleep and autonomic nervous system activity, compromising quality of life.Methods/Design: A prospective, consecutive, double blind, randomized controlled clinical trial is proposed to address the effect of dialysis on sleep, pulmonary function, respiratory mechanics, upper airway collapsibility, autonomic nervous activity, depression, anxiety, stress and quality of life in patients with CKD. The measurement protocol will include body weight (kg); height (cm); body mass index calculated as weight/height(2); circumferences (cm) of the neck, waist, and hip; heart and respiratory rates; blood pressures; Mallampati index; tonsil index; heart rate variability; maximum ventilatory pressures; negative expiratory pressure test, and polysomnography (sleep study), as well as the administration of specific questionnaires addressing sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, anxiety, stress, and quality of life.Discussion: CKD is a major public health problem worldwide, and its incidence has increased in part by the increased life expectancy and increasing number of cases of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Sleep disorders are common in patients with renal insufficiency. Our hypothesis is that the weather weight gain due to volume overload observed during interdialytic period will influence the degree of collapsibility of the upper airway due to narrowing and predispose to upper airway occlusion during sleep, and to investigate the negative influences of haemodialysis in the physiological variables of sleep, and autonomic nervous system, and respiratory mechanics and thereby compromise the quality of life of patients.
