Effects of PDE type 5 inhibitors on Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Resistant Hypertension

Resistant hypertension (RHTN) is a multifactorial disease characterized by blood pressure (BP) levels above goal (140/90 mmHg) in spite of the concurrent use of three or more antihypertensive drugs of different classes. Moreover, it is well known that RHTN subjects have high prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), which leads to increased risk of heart failure progression. This review gathers data from studies evaluating the effects of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors (administration of acute sildenafil and short-term tadalafil) on diastolic function, biochemical and hemodynamic parameters in patients with RHTN. Acute study with sildenafil treatment found that inhibition of PDE-5 improved hemodynamic parameters and diastolic relaxation. In addition, short-term study with the use of tadalafil demonstrated improvement of LVDD, cGMP and BNP-32 levels, regardless of BP reduction. No endothelial function changes were observed in the studies. The findings of acute and short-term studies revealed potential therapeutic effects of IPDE-5 drugs on LVDD in RHTN patients.

Radiação solar em superfieies horizontal e vertical com exposição norte

In the field of agrometeorological studies we are in need of the estimation of the solar radiation frequently. At the present study the authors have worked out some dat:t regarding the hours of sunshine during the months of August, September, October, November, December and January of 1957, 1958 and 1959. Based on such hours of sunshine in the Agrometeorological Station, located at the Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz" - U.S. P., in Piracicaba, the authors calculated the solar radiation received on a plane and horizontal surface, from the method proposed by Glover and Mc Culloch. With those results the authors estimated the percentual part of radiation that would be received on vertical wall facing north.

Orientação cardial de parcelas experimentais e radiação solar

O efeito da orientação cardial de uma parcela experimental sobre a variação de temperatura do solo foi estudado. Verificou-se que à latitude de 15°S, a parcela com uma inclinação de rampa de 5% apresentou diferenças mensuráveis entre as temperaturas do solo nas diversas faces de exposição, sendo mais salientes as diferenças entre as faces Norte e Sul. Os dados obtidos foram coerentes com as determinações de radiação solar recebida.

Production and quality of cotton fibers in relation to solar radiation

The present paper refers to a research work carried out at the Dept. of Agriculture and Horticulture of ESALQ, University of São Paulo, in Piracicaba, State of São Paulo (latitude 22º42'S, longitude 47º33' WG and altitude 546 m). Sowing at different times and using artificial cover, an attempt was made to evaluate the behavior of cultivar IAC 17 of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) as to production and quality of fiber relating to incident solar radiation. Incident solar radiation, as well as insolation during the trial period, were tabulated and compared with yelds and agricultural and technological characters of fibers. The treatment under cover showed a mean level of incident solar radiation equivalent to less than 20% of that at clear sky, causing a decrease in cotton production and in the agricultural and technological characters of fibers.

Estudo da influência da locação de uma edificação rural na carga térmica solar recebida pelas paredes

O presente trabalho se propõe a verificar de que modo a orientação de uma edificação rural influe na carga térmica radiante (radiação solar) interceptada pela mesma. Duas situações freqüentemente encontradas na prática são examinadas: a orientação Norte-Sul e a Leste-Oeste. Para determinar a carga térmica radiante, de importância nos problemas deventilação e refrigeração, é adotado um modelo de construção a título de exemplo, sendo que as relações aqui propostas são aplicáveis a qualquer modelo de construção desejado. Os resultados mostraram quea carga térmica radiante da exposição Leste-Oeste chega a ser 74% da carga na exposição Norte-Sul.

Catalogue of the type material of Phasmatodea (Insecta) deposited in Brazilian museums

The type material of Phasmatodea deposited in Brazilian museums and institutions is listed for the first time. New synonyms are proposed: Phibalosoma paulense Toledo Piza, 1938, Phibalosoma rochai Toledo Piza, 1938, Bacteria tuberculata Toledo Piza, 1938 and Bacteria tuberculata var. argentina Toledo Piza, 1938 are junior synonyms of Cladomorphus phyllinus (Gray, 1835). Nineteen new combinations are established.
