Secular trends in a population with ischemic heart disease admitted to the Instituto do Coração in São Paulo

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical and demographic characteristics of a population with ischemic heart disease admitted in the final decades of the 20th century. METHODS: This study retrospectively assessed patients hospitalized with ischemic heart disease divided into the following 2 groups: acute group - 11.181 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted from 1/1/82 to 12/31/94; and chronic group - 4.166 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery from 1/1/84 to 12/31/94. RESULTS: In the acute group, an increase in the percentage of females (from 22.7% to 27.7%, P<0.001) and diabetic individuals (from 12.4% to 17.5%, P<0.001) was observed, as was an increase in age (from 57.4±11.5 to 59.9±12.1 years, P<0.05). In-hospital mortality was greater among females (27.8% and 15.7%, P=0.001), among diabetic individuals (24.2% and 17.8%, P=0.001), and among the elderly (60.9±15.2 and 57.7±11.8 years, P=0.0001). In the chronic group, an increase in the percentage of females (from 17.5% to 27.2%, P=0.001) was observed, as was an increase in age (from 56.3±8.6 to 60.5±9.6 years, P=0.0001). In-hospital mortality was greater among females (8.3% and 5.8%, P<0.05) and among the elderly (58.1±9.1 and 62.1±7.9 years, P=0.0001). CONCLUSION: The characteristics of the population studied with ischemic heart disease point towards a worse prognosis, due to the greater percentages of females, older patients, and diabetic patients, groups known to have greater in-hospital mortality.

Estrategias para el mejoramiento de la producción de maní mediante la inoculación de microorganismos biofertilizantes y controladores de enfermedades fúngicas. Strategies to the Improvement of the peanut productivity through of inoculation with microorganism biofertilizers and controllers of fungal diseases.

El cultivo de maní es de gran importancia en la provincia de Córdoba. En los últimos años, la pérdida de rendimiento del cultivo en la región centro debido a la degradación de los suelos, la incidencia de enfermedades causadas por hongos y la erosión hídrica y eólica ha desplazado el área de siembra hacia el sur de la provincia. La hipótesis planteada en este proyecto es que la diversidad de bacterias que habitan la rizósfera y/o los tejidos de maní constituye una fuente para la selección de aquéllos que, por sus propiedades fisiológicas y metabólicas, permitan mejorar el rendimiento del cultivo, actuando como biocontroladores de fitopatógenos o biofertilizantes. Los objetivos propuestos son: 1) Evaluar y caracterizar la actividad antifúngica en una población previamente seleccionada de microorganismos del suelo del área manisera de Córdoba para su utilización en el desarrollo de prácticas sustentables tendientes a optimizar la producción de dicho cultivo mediante funciones biocontroladoras. 2) Seleccionar bacterias nativas nodulantes de maní competitivas y eficientes en la fijación y asimilación de nitrógeno en maní para ser utilizadas como un inoculante potencial. La metodología a utilizar consistirá en ensayos de interacción planta-microorganismos usando técnicas moleculares y bioquímicas. Los estudios sobre el conocimiento de la biodiversidad del suelo en el área manisera aportarán herramientas para una transición hacia una agricultura sustentable, generándose un catálogo de bacterias simbióticas y de vida libre que muestran actividad PGPR y que podrían ser empleadas como biofertilizantes o biocontroladoras de fitopatógenos. Ello podría constituir un importante impulso en la economía regional, la cual se basa principalmente en la explotación agrícola.
