Evolução temporal das definições de síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo

OBJECTIVE: to review the evolution of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) definitions and present the current definition for the syndrome. DATA SOURCE: a literature review and selection of the most relevant articles on ARDS definitions was performed using the MEDLINE®/PubMed® Resource Guide database (last ten years), in addition to including the most important articles (classic articles) that described the disease evolution. DATA SYNTHESIS: the review included the following subjects: introduction; importance of definition; description of the first diagnostic criterion and subsequently used definitions, such as acute lung injury score; definition by the American-European Consensus Conference, and its limitations; description of the definition by Delphi, and its problems; accuracy of the aforementioned definitions; description of most recent definition (the Berlin definition), and its limitations; and practical importance of the new definition. CONCLUSIONS: ARDS is a serious disease that remains an ongoing diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The evolution of definitions used to describe the disease shows that studies are needed to validate the current definition, especially in pediatrics, where the data are very scarce.

Substituição da farinha de peixe por farinha de vísceras de aves na alimentação do piavuçu Leporinus macrocephalus

The present study aimed at evaluating the productive performance of Leporinus macrocephalus fed with different levels of inclusion of poultry viscera meal replacing fish meal. The experiment was conducted in a stove located in the Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná during 45 days. We used 200 fish with average initial length of 4.7 ± 0.37 cm and average initial weight of 1.407 ± 0.03 g, distributed in 20 net-cages. The experimental design was randomized with five treatments and five replicates with five levels of replacement of fish meal by poultry viscera meal (0, 25, 50, 75, 100%). The parameters evaluated were the productive performance and the chemical composition of animals. The inclusion of poultry viscera meal in the substitution of fish meal in the feeding of Leporinus macrocephalus can be used without impairing the performance of the animals.

Evolução de CO2 e atividades enzimáticas em amostras de solo tratado com herbicidas

Effects of bentazon, metolachlor, trifluralin, imazethapyr, imazethapyr+lactofen, haloxyfop-methyl, glyphosate and chlorimuron-ethyl at rates of 2 and 10 times the equivalent commercial dose on soil microbial activity was evaluated in soil samples extracted from a field never treated before. Global soil microbe respiration, estimated by CO2 production at 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 days of soil incubation and enzymatic activities (dehydrogenase and fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis) at 8 and 28 days were used as bioindicators. Bentazon and mixture imazethapyr+lactofen at the highest rate and haloxyfop-methyl at both rates, inhibited soil respiration although with differences in timing and duration. None of the herbicides affected FDA hydrolysis. Dehydrogenase activity was inhibited at 8 days of incubation with bentazon and imazethapyr at high rates but it was stimulated by metolachlor and imazethapyr at low rate and glyphosate at the highest rate. Herbicide effects on soil microbial activity was detected with higher sensitivity by global soil microbe respiration and dehydrogenase activity than by FDA hydrolysis. Only dehydrogenase activity and soil respiration estimations at 8 days of soil incubation had significant correlation. Results indicated the need of multiple estimations when evaluating herbicides effects on soil microbiota
