Adaptabilidade e estabilidade de cultivares de milho no Nordeste brasileiro no triênio 1998 a 2000

Foram avaliadas 22 cultivares de milho (variedades, híbridos e populações) em 45 ambientes do Nordeste brasileiro, no triênio 1998 a 2000, objetivando conhecer a adaptabilidade e a estabilidade desses materiais para fins de recomendação. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso com três repetições. A análise de variância conjunta mostrou inconsistência no comportamento das cultivares diante das variações ambientais. Os híbridos mostraram melhor adaptação que as variedades e populações, constituindo-se em alternativas viáveis para os produtores que investem em tecnologias modernas de produção; sobressaíram-se Cargill 333 B, AG 1051 e Zeneca 8501. As variedades Sertanejo, AL 25, São Francisco, São Vicente, Asa Branca e BR 106 são importantes nos sistemas de produção dos pequenos e médios produtores rurais da região.

Advances in paediatric interventional cardiology since 2000.

Interventional paediatric and congenital cardiology is expanding at a rapid pace. Validated techniques (such as aortic or pulmonary valve dilatations and occlusion of persistent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defects) are improving thanks to the use of smaller introducers and sheaths, low-profile balloons and novel devices. Moreover, catheter-based interventions have emerged as an attractive alternative to surgery in other fields: pulmonary valve replacement, balloon and stent implantation for native and recurrent coarctation, and percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defects. On the other hand, percutaneous interventions in the paediatric population may be limited by patient size or the anatomy of the defect. Hybrid approaches involving both cardiac interventionists and surgeons are being developed to overcome these limitations. Based on a better understanding of cardiac development, fetal cardiac interventions are being attempted in order to alter the history of severe obstructive lesions. Finally, some interventional procedures still carry a low success rate-for example, pulmonary vein stenosis, even with the use of conventional stents. Biodegradable stents and devices are being developed and may find an application in this setting as well as in others. The purpose of this review is to highlight the advances in paediatric interventional cardiology since the beginning of the third millennium.
