Análise comparativa entre amostras de raízes com e sem sintomas de amarelecimento fatal de Elaeis guineensis JACQ. (dendezeiro).

O dendê possui grande importância econômica para o estado do Pará, no entanto, o Amarelecimento Fatal (AF) tem sido um grande obstáculo para a sua produção. Alguns elementos químicos foram testados, em pesquisas anteriores, para saber sua relação com o AF e as consequências da sua deficiência. A análise química por espectrometria de raios-x por dispersão de energia (EDS) é um recurso da microscopia de varredura (MEV) que permite fazer uma avaliação química da amostra. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar semiquantitativamente os elementos químicos cálcio e silício, em quatro diferentes tecidos de raízes terciárias e quaternárias de Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (Dendezeiro) com grau zero (sem sintoma) e grau dez (com sintoma) de amarelecimento fatal (AF). Em plantas com sintomas de AF as médias percentuais para cálcio são de 0,731 a 4,453 e para silício 2,619 a 8,124 dentre os tecidos analisados, enquanto que em plantas sem sintomas as médias são de 0,712 a 5,313 e 2,963 a 7,494, para cálcio e silício, respectivamente. A diferença encontrada em relação as porcentagens dos elementos nos diferentes tecidos radiculares analisados, é maior do que entre os diferentes graus da doença, exceto para o aerênquima. Em relação ao acumulo de cálcio e silício nos tecidos, o comportamento das plantas com sintoma e sem sintoma é muito parecido. A presença de cálcio aumenta conforme se aproxima do cilindro vascular, ocorrendo o comportamento variado com o silício.

Comportamento produtivo de muçuãs (Kinosternon scorpioides spp. Linnaeus, 1766) na ilha de Marajó, estado do Pará.

Avaliou-se o comportamento produtivo em populações de Kinosternon scorpioides spp mantidas em dois sistemas de criação em cativeiro (intensivo e extensivo), considerando duas épocas do ano (chuvosa e menos chuvosa). Dentre as categorias animais mantidas em conservação pela Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, escolheu-se apenas animais adultos (acima de 02 anos de idade ou peso superior a 200g) para serem subdivididos nos sistemas de criação, em que se diferenciam quanto ao manejo alimentar. O número total de observações colhidas no período de fevereiro de 2012 a março de 2013 foi de 4.485, distribuídos entre machos e fêmeas. Os resultados demonstraram que os animais possuem média de peso na época menos chuvosa, para machos e fêmeas nos dois sistemas de criação, superior às médias da época mais chuvosa. Este comportamento se deve ao fato do animal apresentar um ganho compensatório na época que seria adversa, ou seja, no período seco, em função de uma memória silvestre da hibernação. Os sistemas de criação, assim como as épocas do ano, associados ao manejo geral influenciaram significativamente o peso dos animais. Muçuãs criados em sistema de cativeiro intensivo apresentaram ganhos competitivos superiores quando comparado aos do sistema de cativeiro extensivo. O manejo alimentar empregado no sistema de criação intensivo melhorou o desempenho produtivo dos animais.

Il ruolo della percezione di malattia nei disturbi del comportamento alimentare: una rassegna sistematica della letteratura

Background. La percezione di malattia gioca un ruolo importante nei disturbi del comportamento alimentare. Leventhal nel suo modello teorico dell’illness perception spiega che la rappresentazione di malattia si divide in diverse componenti, come la percezione di controllo e le aspettative di durata nel tempo. Obiettivo. L’obiettivo di questo elaborato è quello di realizzare una rassegna sistematica della letteratura sulle caratteristiche e le implicazioni della percezione di malattia nei disturbi del comportamento alimentare. Metodi. Per compiere la revisione sistematica della letteratura si è fatto riferimento a due banche dati: Pubmed e Scopus. Sono stati individuati articoli inerenti all’argomento trattato attraverso l’incrocio di diverse parole chiave, poi, sono stati esclusi diversi articoli non inerenti. Infine, sono stati approfonditi e confrontati tra loro i risultati dei 13 studi inclusi. Risultati. Nell’anoressia nervosa spesso il paziente non riesce a ricondurre i propri sintomi a un disturbo del comportamento alimentare e la malattia viene avvertita come parte integrante della propria vita. Questa percezione di malattia si traduce in una scarsa aderenza terapeutica. Nella bulimia nervosa si ha una scarsa identità di malattia, ma è più probabile che si riconosca di avere un problema e si cerchi un trattamento. Nel disturbo da binge-eating si ha una maggiore percezione di malattia rispetto all’anoressia nervosa. I disturbi del comportamento alimentare inoltre sono caratterizzati da una scarsa consapevolezza emotiva. Conclusioni. Prendere in considerazione questo tema è importante in quanto, in base alla percezione di malattia del paziente, lo specialista, in particolare il dietista, può modificare la terapia per adeguarla alle caratteristiche del caso specifico. Le rappresentazioni di malattia forniscono infatti al dietista informazioni utili sul livello di disagio e sulla fase di motivazione al cambiamento in cui si trova il paziente.

Segunda opinião formativa: quais as orientações de enfermagem para crianças com alguma alergia ou intolerância alimentar?

Apesar do risco das reações alérgicas serem graves e mesmo fatais, até o momento, o método mais efetivo para a prevenção dos sintomas e tratamento tanto das alergias como das intolerâncias alimentares é a retirada do alimento “agressor” da dieta, sendo necessário substituí-los por alimentos tolerados. A completa eliminação do alimento alergênico é a única forma comprovada, atualmente disponível de tratamento.

[the Use Of Fish On Buccal Smear To Investigate Mosaicism With A 45,x Cell Line: Study On Healthy Men And Patients With Disorders Of Sex Development].

To verify whether fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of cells from the buccal epithelium could be employed to detect cryptomosaicism with a 45,X lineage in 46,XY patients. Samples of nineteen 46,XY healthy young men and five patients with disorders of sex development (DSD), four 45,X/46,XY and one 46,XY were used. FISH analysis with X and Y specific probes on interphase nuclei from blood lymphocytes and buccal epithelium were analyzed to investigate the proportion of nuclei containing only the signal of the X chromosome. The frequency of nuclei containing only the X signal in the two tissues of healthy men did not differ (p = 0.69). In all patients with DSD this frequency was significantly higher, and there was no difference between the two tissues (p = 0.38), either. Investigation of mosaicism with a 45,X cell line in patients with 46,XY DSD or sterility can be done by FISH directly using cells from the buccal epithelium.

Cognitive And Behavioral Heterogeneity In Genetic Syndromes.

this study aimed to investigate the cognitive and behavioral profiles, as well as the psychiatric symptoms and disorders in children with three different genetic syndromes with similar sociocultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. thirty-four children aged 6 to 16 years, with Williams-Beuren syndrome (n=10), Prader-Willi syndrome (n=11), and Fragile X syndrome (n=13) from the outpatient clinics of Child Psychiatry and Medical Genetics Department were cognitively assessed through the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III). Afterwards, a full-scale intelligence quotient (IQ), verbal IQ, performance IQ, standard subtest scores, as well as frequency of psychiatric symptoms and disorders were compared among the three syndromes. significant differences were found among the syndromes concerning verbal IQ and verbal and performance subtests. Post-hoc analysis demonstrated that vocabulary and comprehension subtest scores were significantly higher in Williams-Beuren syndrome in comparison with Prader-Willi and Fragile X syndromes, and block design and object assembly scores were significantly higher in Prader-Willi syndrome compared with Williams-Beuren and Fragile X syndromes. Additionally, there were significant differences between the syndromes concerning behavioral features and psychiatric symptoms. The Prader-Willi syndrome group presented a higher frequency of hyperphagia and self-injurious behaviors. The Fragile X syndrome group showed a higher frequency of social interaction deficits; such difference nearly reached statistical significance. the three genetic syndromes exhibited distinctive cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric patterns.

[association Between Physical And Psychosocial Impacts Of Oral Disorders And Quality Of Life Among The Elderly].

This study sought to evaluate the association between the impact of oral disorders in terms of physical/psychosocial dimensions and quality of life among the elderly. It involved a cross-sectional study conducted among the elderly (65-74 years) in 2008/2009. The social impact was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP 14) and the quality of life using the SF 12 Short-Form Health Survey. Descriptive, univariate and multivariate (logistic regression) analysis was conducted with correction for the design effect, using SPSS(r)18.0 software. Of the 800 individuals approached, 736 elderly individuals participated (TR = 92%), with a mean age of 67.77 years, the majority of whom showed no impact based on the measurement of the prevalence of OHIP. The functional limitation dimension of the OHIP was associated with the physical domain of the SF12, irrespective of the other variables investigated. However, the seriousness of OHIP and its psychological discomfort and disability dimensions was associated with the mental domain of the SF12. The conclusion reached is that some impacts of oral disorders were associated with unsatisfactory quality of life in the physical and mental domains.

Sinonasal Disorders In Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with more respiratory infections due to immunosuppression. this study aimed to verify the frequency of rhinosinusitis after HSCT, and the association between rhinosinusitis and chronic graft vs. host disease (GVHD) and type of transplantation, clinical treatment, surgical treatment, and survival. this was a retrospective study in a tertiary university hospital. A total of 95 patients with hematological diseases undergoing HSCT between 1996 and 2011 were selected. chronic myeloid leukemia was the most prevalent disease. The type of transplant most often performed was the allogenic type (85.26%). The frequency of rhinosinusitis was 36%, with no difference between the autologous and the allogenic types. Chronic GVHD occurred in 30% of patients. Patients with GVHD had a higher frequency and recurrence of rhinosinusitis, in addition to more frequent need for endoscopic sinusectomy and decreased overall survival. there was a higher frequency of rhinosinusitis in HSCT and GVHD. The type of transplant does not appear to predispose to the occurrence of rhinosinusitis. GVHD seems to be an aggravating factor and requires a more stringent treatment.

[temporomandibular Disorders In Fibromyalgia Syndrome: A Short-communication.]

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic painful syndrome and the coexistence of a painful condition caused by Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and FMS has been frequently raised for several studies, however, more likely hypothesis is that a set of FMS characteristics may lead to the onset of TMD symptoms and they are not merely coexisting conditions. Therefore, our aim is presenting a review of literature about the relation between fibromyalgia and the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders. For this purpose, a bibliographic search was performed of the period of 1990-2013, in the Medline, Pubmed, Lilacs and Scielo databases, using the keywords fibromyalgia, temporomandibular disorders and facial pain. Here we present a set of findings in the literature showing that fibromyalgia can lead to TMD symptoms. These studies demonstrated greater involvement of the stomatognathic system in FMS and myogenic disorders of masticatory system are the most commonly found in those patients. FMS appears to have a series of characteristics that constitute predisposing and triggering factors for TMD.

The Prevalence Of Tic Disorders In Children And Adolescents In Brazil.

Tourette syndrome (TS) and tic disorders represent events of familiar magnitude characterized by involuntary movements and/or vocalization. To determine the prevalence of TS/tic disorders we studied a sample of 762 subjects (388 M, 374 F), between 1992 and 1997, age 6 to 43 years old, taken out of a population of 10,155 subjects (4,918 M, 5,237 F; age: 3-56 years old). A structured 4-item questionnaire, direct interview (multistaged), >1 yr follow-up, were used. 9,565 subjects (4,614 M, 4,951 F) sent back the questionnaires, 3,354 of these (1,671 M, 1,683 F) with positive answers to tics. 42 subjects (31 M, 11 F, age: 7-21 years old, mean: 11 years old) met the DSM-III-R criteria. The total minimal prevalence of TS is 0.43%, with a 3:1 ratio male/female. The minimal prevalence of chronic tic disorder is 2.27%. The total minimal prevalence for tic disorders at all is 2.91%.

Neural Mechanisms And Delayed Gastric Emptying Of Liquid Induced Through Acute Myocardial Infarction In Rats.

Background: In pathological situations, such as acute myocardial infarction, disorders of motility of the proximal gut can trigger symptoms like nausea and vomiting. Acute myocardial infarction delays gastric emptying (GE) of liquid in rats. Objective: Investigate the involvement of the vagus nerve, α 1-adrenoceptors, central nervous system GABAB receptors and also participation of paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus in GE and gastric compliance (GC) in infarcted rats. Methods: Wistar rats, N = 8-15 in each group, were divided as INF group and sham (SH) group and subdivided. The infarction was performed through ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. GC was estimated with pressure-volume curves. Vagotomy was performed by sectioning the dorsal and ventral branches. To verify the action of GABAB receptors, baclofen was injected via icv (intracerebroventricular). Intravenous prazosin was used to produce chemical sympathectomy. The lesion in the PVN of the hypothalamus was performed using a 1mA/10s electrical current and GE was determined by measuring the percentage of gastric retention (% GR) of a saline meal. Results: No significant differences were observed regarding GC between groups; vagotomy significantly reduced % GR in INF group; icv treatment with baclofen significantly reduced %GR. GABAB receptors were not conclusively involved in delaying GE; intravenous treatment with prazosin significantly reduced GR% in INF group. PVN lesion abolished the effect of myocardial infarction on GE. Conclusion: Gastric emptying of liquids induced through acute myocardial infarction in rats showed the involvement of the vagus nerve, alpha1- adrenergic receptors and PVN.Fundamento: Distúrbios da motilidade do intestino proximal no infarto agudo do miocárdio podem desencadear sintomas digestivos como náuseas e vômitos. O infarto do miocárdio ocasiona retardo do esvaziamento gástrico (EG) de líquido em ratos. Objetivo: Investigar se existe a influência do nervo vago (VGX), adrenoreceptores α-1, receptores GABAB do sistema nervoso central e participação do núcleo paraventricular (NPV) do hipotálamo no esvaziamento gástrico (EG) e complacência gástrica (CG) em ratos infartados. Métodos: Ratos Wistar (n = 8-15) foram divididos em: grupo infarto (INF), sham (SH) e subdivididos. O infarto foi realizado por ligadura da artéria coronária descendente anterior. A complacência gástrica foi estimada com curvas pressão-volume. Realizada vagotomia por secção dos ramos dorsal e ventral. Para verificar a ação dos receptores GABAB foi injetado baclofeno por via intra ventrículo-cerebral. Simpatectomia química foi realizada com prazosina intravenosa (iv), e na lesão do núcleo paraventricular do hipotálamo foi utilizada corrente elétrica de 1mA/10s, com esvaziamento gástrico determinado por medição da retenção gástrica (% RG) de uma refeição salina. Resultados: Não houve diferença significativa na CG. A vagotomia (VGX) reduziu significativamente a %RG; no grupo INF, o tratamento intra ventrículo-cerebral (ivc) com baclofeno reduziu significativamente a % RG; não houve conclusivamente envolvimento dos receptores GABAB em retardar o EG; o tratamento intravenoso com prazosina reduziu significativamente a %RG no grupo INF. A lesão do NPV aboliu o efeito do infarto do miocárdio no EG. Conclusão: O nervo vago, receptores α-adrenérgicos e núcleo paraventricular estão envolvidos no retardo do esvaziamento gástrico no infarto agudo do miocárdio em ratos.

Omentum For Mammary Disorders: A 30-year Systematic Review.

Although the safety of applying omentum to the female breast for total breast reconstruction is controversial, it has recently been used to treat certain mammary disorders as well. A systematic review was therefore conducted to analyze and establish the suitability and safety of applying omentum to the breast. Covereing the interval from January 1984 to December 2013, we performed searches in MEDLINE, Embase, SciELO, and Google-Scholar for original articles describing the applicability of greater omentum to the breast and its clinical complications. Sixty observational articles with 985 women were chosen. The main clinical indications were total breast reconstruction after mastectomy due to breast cancer (45 studies), radiation damage (23 studies), and congenital Poland syndrome (4 studies). Altogether, 273 complications were identified among the 985 women treated. The most frequent was flap necrosis (26.74 %). The most serious was injury to the digestive system (1.10 %). There was a 35.48 % incidence of local breast cancer recurrence in eight observational studies on oncological risk. Seven of the eight included only women with advanced cancer. One of these studies reported the incidence and relapse time predominantly according to the primary tumor size. Although the oncological risk remains unclear, there was a high volume of complications that affected the digestive system. These findings suggest that omentum has well established applicability, but only for total breast reconstruction of huge defects, where muscular/myocutaneous or perforator flaps may be unsuitable.
