Sarcopromusca pruna (Diptera: Muscidae) as an egg transport host of Dermatobia hominis (Diptera: Cuterebridae) in the cacau region of Bahia, Brazil

Sarcopromusca pruna appears to be the predominant transport host for Dermatobia hominis eggs among cattle herds in central eastern Bahia, Brazil. In the study area, two seasonal peaks of S. Pruna abundance coincide with those of Dermatobia, from mid July through late September and from mid November until early January, two periods of moderate monthly rainfall between anual extremes. Among more than 26,000 flies examined during the study, 75 (all female S. pruna) bore Dermatobia eggs. Certain aspects of Dermatobia behavior and ovoposition habits in the field are also discussed.

Tendinopatía rotuliana. Modelo de actuación terapéutico en el deporte. Patellar tendinopathy. Therapetic model in the sport

El dolor tendinoso, conocido como tendinopatía, es muy común en individuos físicamente activos, ya sea a nivel competitivo como recreacional. Sin embargo, se ha demostrado que individuos físicamente inactivos también lo sufren. Por lo tanto, se puede afirmar que la actividad física no se puede asociar directamente a la histopatología, y que el ejercicio físico puede ser más importante en la provocación de los síntomas que en ser el causante de la lesión1 and 2. La sobreutilización induce esta condición, pero la etiología y la patogenia no están científicamente clarificadas...

Study of the effect of oral health on physical condition of professional soccer players of the Football Club Barcelona

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the oral health status of professional soccer players of F.C. Barcelona and its relation to the incidence of sport lesions. Methods: Thirty professional soccer players were consecutively evaluated in the seasons 2003/4, 2004/5 and 2005/6. A research protocol to assess their oral health was developed. DMFT, Quigley & Hein plaque index (PI), Löe & Silness gingival index (GI), World Health Organization malocclusion index, Ramfjord teeth probing pocket depth (PPD), TMJ examination and history of dental trauma were recorded. All physical injuries sustained by players during the season were documented from F.C. Barcelona medical services. Results: Mean DMFT score was 5.7 (SD 4.1), Quigley & Hein plaque index score was 2.3 (SD 1.1), Löe & Silness gingival index was 1.1 (SD 0.8), and periodontal pocket depth was 1.9 mm (SD 0.3). Pearson"s analysis showed a significant correlation between PI and GI (p<0.01). Nine players (30%) presented bruxism - the same proportion of those with severe malocclusion. Seven (23.3%) players had suffered uncomplicated crown fractures. The mean incidence of physical injuries was 8 (SD 3.4) per player. PI and PPD showed a statistically significant correlation to muscle injuries (p<0.05). Conclusions: Soccer players, despite intensive medical follow-up, have significant oral health problems such as untreated caries, gingivitis or malocclusion, and suffer dental trauma as a result of sports activities. Their physical condition could also be associated to oral health

Seleção de genótipos de mirtileiro obtidos a partir de polinização aberta

No Brasil, as cultivares de mirtileiro, exploradas economicamente, foram introduzidas de outros países e, sendo assim, selecionadas em outras condições edafoclimáticas, podendo apresentar limitações para seu cultivo. Visando à obtenção de plantas superiores mais adaptadas para as condições brasileiras, realizou-se a seleção em três populações de mirtileiro de polinização aberta com o objetivo de obter progênies superiores. O material vegetal utilizado constituiu-se de 3.554 plantas, provenientes de sementes das cultivares Bluegem (1.212 plantas), Bluebelle (1.439 plantas) e Powderblue (903 plantas). O experimento foi conduzido em área previamente adubada, conforme análise de solo, em espaçamento de 30 x 30 cm, com sistema de irrigação por aspersäo. A seleção nas plantas das três populações foi realizada em três etapas (2007/2008, 2008/2009 e 2010/2011). No primeiro ciclo, realizou-se a seleção negativa, eliminando-se as plantas indesejáveis; no segundo, foi realizada a seleção positiva, quando foram selecionadas 20 plantas de cada uma das populações. Como critério de seleção, nos dois primeiros ciclos, foram usados os seguintes caracteres: vigor da planta, produção, estado fitossanitário, início de produção, presença de pruína na epiderme, tamanho e sabor do fruto. Ao final do segundo ciclo, as 20 plantas pré-selecionadas de cada população foram avaliadas, por um período de dois anos (2009/2010 e 2010/2011), registrando-se a produtividade das plantas e as variáveis químicas dos frutos. Com base nos resultados obtidos, pode-se concluir que 10 genótipos (BG5, BG2, BG3, BG6, PW3, PW5, PW1, BB10, BB5 e BB2) têm potencial para dar-se continuidade ao processo de seleção, pois apresentam bom desenvolvimento vegetativo, frutos de boa qualidade e de tamanho adequado ao mercado consumidor.

The Muscini flies of the world (Diptera, Muscidae): identification key and generic diagnoses

Flies of the tribe Muscini (Diptera, Muscidae) are worldwide in distribution and are represented by some 350 species in 18 genera. The present study provides an identification key and diagnoses for all the genera of world Muscini: Biopyrellia Townsend, Curranosia Paterson, Dasyphora Robineau-Desvoidy, Deltotus Seguy, Hennigmyia Peris, Mesembrina Meigen, Mitroplatia Enderlein, Morellia Robineau-Desvoidy, Musca Linnaeus, Myiophaea Enderlein, Neomyia Walker, Neorypellia Pont, Polietes Rondani, Polietina Schnabl & Dziedzicki, Pyrellia Robineau-Desvoidy, Pyrellina Malloch, Sarcopromusca Townsend, Ziminellia Nihei & de Carvalho. Most infrageneric taxa are also represented, namely, the sub-genera of Dasyphora and Morellia. Comments on phylogeny support (whenever pertinent) and the major references containing revisions and regional identification keys to species are provided for each genus and subgenus.

Of Taffeta and Soil

OF TAFFETA AND SOIL is a collection of poetry unified through images of Argentinean and Floridian soil, flora, and fauna, and by themes of geographic and emotional dislocation, memory, and the quest for home. These images are brought forth in lyrical poems that question the growth and settling of a romantic partnership, domestic turmoil and resolution, and the constant tension between self and community. Mostly written in free verse, the collection also utilizes forms such as prose poem, haiku, and sonnet, for more formal unity. Section one chronicles and explores a romantic relationship through attraction, passion, disappointment, and self-awareness. Section two is a long poem that centers on the speaker’s continuous struggle to come to terms with her present adult life while still remembering and idealizing a homeland. Finally, the collection ends with two sections that work toward self-acceptance, forgiveness, and evolution via community, family, travel and nature.
