ABSTRACT Variation in rainfall affects crops; therefore, agricultural practices become essential for forage production in semi-arid regions. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different agricultural practices on phyllochron, structural characteristics of forage cactus and millet, and their relations with crop yield using the principal component analysis (PCA). The design was in randomized blocks, with six treatments: sole cropped cactus without straw mulching, sole cropped cactus with straw mulching, sole cropped millet without straw mulching, sole cropped millet with straw mulching, and cactus intercropping with millet, with and without straw mulching, each with four replicates. There were three cactus cycles and nine millet cycles (three cycles of cultivars BRS1501 and six of IPA Bulk-1-BF). Biometric parameters were evaluated monthly, while yield was determined after the crop harvest. Phyllochron was determined with the regression analysis. The PCA was applied to structural characteristics and yield. The systems adopted did not influence the structural characteristics of cactus and millet ( p > 0.05), except for cladode thickness, which increased with straw mulching. Phyllochron of the millet reduced when the crop was intercropped. The structural characteristics of cladode length, width, and thickness influenced crop yield, mainly in systems with straw mulching. Straw mulching and intercropping alter phyllochron of cactus and millet. The adoption of straw mulching has a more significant relationship with cactus yield, whereas biometric variables influence crop yield for millet, not the cropping system.

Resumo O tétano é uma doença grave e rara em pequenos animais, de caráter agudo e mediada pela ação da neurotoxina tetanospasmina, proveniente do bacilo Clostridium tetani. Neste relato descreve-se um caso de tétano em um canino, com ênfase em seus aspectos clínicos e terapêuticos, além da sua recuperação clínica. Foi atendido no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade de Passo Fundo, um canino, fêmea, da raça Pitbull, com cinco meses, em status epilepticus. Após a estabilização da paciente, constataram-se animal em posição de cavalete, com paralisia espástica generalizada, risus sardonicus, trismo, cauda e orelhas eretas e dificuldade em expandir o tórax. O diagnóstico presuntivo de tétano foi firmado a partir da anamnese, sinais clínicos e achados laboratoriais. O tratamento suporte estabelecido incluiu reposição hidroeletrolítica, soro antitetânico, antibioticoterapia, analgesia, fármacos miorrelaxantes e anticonvulsivantes. O manejo intensivo da paciente foi realizado com sondagem uretral e nasoesofágica, trocas de decúbito a cada duas horas e diminuição de estímulos ambientais. A fisioterapia e a acupuntura também foram utilizadas para complementar o tratamento e acelerar a recuperação. A paciente recebeu alta médica um mês após o início do tratamento, apresentando evolução satisfatória. No presente caso, o exame clínico em associação aos sinais clínicos característicos da doença, acrescidos da anamnese minuciosa foram fundamentais ao diagnóstico presuntivo de tétano. Além disso, o manejo intensivo, o tratamento medicamentoso, assim como a realização de fisioterapia e acupuntura, possibilitaram a evolução do quadro clínico à cura.

Abstract Tetanus is a serious and rare disease in small animals, of an acute nature and mediated by the action of the neurotoxin tetanospasmin, from the bacillus Clostridium tetani. This report describes a case of tetanus in a canine, with emphasis on its clinical and therapeutic aspects, in addition to its clinical recovery. A canine, female, Pitbull breed, five months old, in status epilepticus, was attended at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Passo Fundo. After stabilizing the patient, the animal was found in a trestle position, with generalized spastic paralysis, risus sardonicus, trismus, erect tail and ears, and difficulty in expanding the thorax. The presumptive diagnosis of tetanus was established based on the anamnesis, clinical signs, and laboratory findings. The established supportive treatment included hydro electrolytic replacement, antitetanus serum, antibiotic therapy, analgesia, myorelaxant and anticonvulsant drugs. The patient's intensive management was carried out with urethral and gastroesophageal probing, changes of position every two hours, and reduction of environmental stimuli. Physiotherapy and acupuncture were also used to complement the treatment and accelerate recovery. The patient was discharged one month after the beginning of the treatment, presenting satisfactory evolution. In the present case, the clinical examination in association with the characteristic clinical signs of the disease, added to the detailed anamnesis, was essential for the presumptive diagnosis of tetanus. In addition, intensive management, drug treatment, physiotherapy, and acupuncture enabled the evolution of the clinical condition to cure.

Abstract This article aims to analyze how the manifestations and effects caused by the exercise of violence do not disappear when women leave their country of origin but follows them during their transit and stay in the host country. Using a qualitative methodological design, this article analyzes testimonies from in-depth interviews with asylum-seeking women and lawyers who work in civil society organizations (CSOs). The findings highlight that, although asylum seekers left their country of origin fleeing violence, in Mexico they have found an occasionally more violent context where both governmental and organized crime actors intervene, promoting the transnationalization of violence. This implies seeing violence as a cycle that forces the authorities to generate comprehensive protection mechanisms for women in mobility.

Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo las manifestaciones y los efectos generados por el ejercicio de la violencia no finalizan en el momento en el que las mujeres abandonan el lugar de origen, sino que les persiguen durante el tránsito y la estancia en el país de destino. Utilizando un diseño metodológico cualitativo, se analizan testimonios recabados a partir de entrevistas a profundidad realizadas tanto a mujeres solicitantes de asilo como a abogadas de organizaciones de la sociedad civil (OSC). Los hallazgos indican que, aunque las solicitantes de asilo salieron de su lugar de origen huyendo de la violencia, en México han encontrado un contexto ocasionalmente más violento donde intervienen actores tanto gubernamentales como de la delincuencia organizada, propiciando la transnacionalización de la violencia. Lo anterior implica ver la violencia como un ciclo que obliga a las autoridades a generar mecanismos de protección integral para las mujeres en movilidad.

ABSTRACT Metastrongylid species infecting wild and domestic cats worldwide are increasingly being reported. Between 2017 and 2019, a total of 202 faecal samples of domestic cats from the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) were analysed by microscopy and molecular techniques. Morphological analyses showed that 8.91% (18/202) of the faecal samples presented first stage larvae (L1) of metastrongylid species. Total DNA was isolated and tested by PCR targeting a 508 bp fragment of the ITS-2 gene. The nucleotide sequences obtained showed high homology (100%) with the species Oslerus rostratus. This work contributes to the knowledge of the wide distribution of O. rostratus worldwide, being Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), close to the African continent, the new geographic location for this metastrongylid species. Further molecular studies involving new geographic areas from the island of Tenerife, as well as neighbouring islands, are needed to provide relevant insight and better understand the epidemiology of O. rostratus and other metastrongylid species in wild and domestic cats from the Canary Islands.

Resumen Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el desempeño productivo y el estado nutricional de ovinos mestizos alimentados con una dieta que contenía ensilaje de pasto buffel (EPB) en sustitución de ensilaje de maíz (EM). Treinta y dos (32) ovinos Santa Inês machos con un peso corporal promedio de 20.09 ± 2.0 kg se distribuyeron en un diseño de bloques completamente al azar con cuatro tratamientos (0, 33.3, 66.6 y 100 % de sustitución de ensilaje de maíz por ensilaje de pasto buffel) y ocho animales por tratamiento. Se evaluó la ingesta de materia seca, la digestibilidad aparente de nutrientes, el balance hídrico, el balance de nitrógeno y el desempeño productivo de los animales. Los diferentes niveles de sustitución de ensilaje de maíz por ensilaje de pasto buffel promovieron una disminución lineal en el consumo de extracto etéreo (P=0.001) y carbohidratos no fibrosos (P<0.001), digestibilidad aparente de carbohidratos no fibrosos (P=0.019), ingesta de agua vía alimentos (P<0.001), ingesta total de agua (P=0.008), excreción de agua vía orina (P=0.004), excreción total de agua (P=0.001), entre los cuales los valores más altos se observaron en animales alimentados con 100 % de ensilaje de maíz. La excreción de agua vía heces (P=0.017) y el balance de nitrógeno (P=0.047) mostraron una función cuadrática, aumentando a medida que la sustitución con ensilaje de pasto buffel se incrementó de 0 a 33.3 %. No se observaron diferencias significativas (P>0.05) en el desempeño productivo de los ovinos, con una ganancia diaria de peso promedio de 140.16 g/día. La sustitución del 66.6 % de EM por EPB proporciona resultados satisfactorios para la ingesta de materia seca y nutrientes, y la ingesta de agua, con una ganancia de peso de hasta 155 g/día para ovinos mestizos Santa Inês en los semiáridos brasileños.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the productive performance and nutritional status of crossbred sheep fed a diet containing buffel grass silage (BGS) in substitution of corn silage (CS). Thirty-two male Santa Inês sheep with an average body weight of 20.09 ± 2.0 kg were distributed in a completely randomized block design with four treatments (0, 33.3, 66.6, and 100 % of substitution of corn silage with buffel grass silage) and eight animals per treatment. Dry matter intake, apparent nutrient digestibility, water balance, nitrogen balance, and productive performance of animals were evaluated. The different levels of substitution of corn silage by buffel grass silage promoted a linear decrease in the consumption of ether extract (P=0.001) and non-fibrous carbohydrate (P<0.001), apparent digestibility of non-fibrous carbohydrate (P=0.019), water intake via food (P<0.001), total water intake (P=0.008), water excretion via urine (P=0.004), total water excretion (P=0.001), among which the highest values were observed in animals fed 100% corn silage. Water excretion via feces (P=0.017) and nitrogen balance (P=0.047) showed a quadratic function, increasing as substitution with buffel grass silage increased from 0 to 33.3 %. No significant differences (P>0.05) were observed in sheep productive performance, with an average daily weight gain of 140.16 g/d. The replacement of 66.6 % of CS for BGS provides satisfactory results for dry matter and nutrients intake, and water intake, with weight gain of up to 155 g/d for Santa Inês crossbred sheep in Brazilian semi-arid.

Resumo Considerando que a fumaça de cigarro é um problema de saúde pública que está crescendo entre os adolescentes, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o impacto da fumaça de cigarro na sinalização osteogênica e osteoclastogênica da sutura palatina mediana de ratos. Foram utilizados ratos Wistar machos expostos (n=30) e não expostos à fumaça de cigarro (n=30). A exposição à fumaça de cigarro foi realizada duas vezes ao dia por 3 minutos, com um intervalo de 12 horas entre as exposições. Os animais foram mortos após o período experimental de 3, 7, 14 e 21 dias. Os tecidos coletados foram analisados em microscópico de luz e pelo RT-PCR em tempo real foi realizado para investigar a expressão gênica. s dados obtidos foram comparados usando o testes de Kruskal Wallis e Dunn (⍺ = 5%). Morfoligicamente, não houve mudança significativa na sutura palatina mediana nos ratos expostos ou não à fumaça de cigarro durante os tempo de 3, 7, 14 e 21 dias (p> 0.05). Por outro lado, a sinalização osteogênica esta aumentada nos animais expostos à fumaça e foi caracterizado por um aumento da produção de RANKL aos 3 e 14 dias (p <0.05), sem mudança na síntese da produção de RANK e osteoprotegerina (p> 0.05). Curiosamente, nos animais expostos, também foi observado um aumento precoce da síntese de osteocalcina, sialoproteína óssea e de osteopontina aos 3 dias de exposição, o que não foi mantido ao longo do tempo. A fumaça de cigarro modula a sinalização osteogênica e osteoclastogênica na sutura palatina mediana de ratos jovens, apesar de não tenha sido evidenciado alterações morfológicas.

Abstract Considering that smoking is a public health problem that has been growing among adolescents, the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of cigarette smoke on osteogenic and osteoclastogenic signaling in middle palatal suture of rats. Male Wistar rats exposed (n = 30) or not to cigarette smoke (n = 30) were used. Exposure to smoke was carried out for two daily periods of 3 minutes each, with an interval of 12 hours between exposures. After the experimental periods of 3, 7, 14 and 21 days, the animals were euthanized. The collected tissues were analyzed using light microscopy and real-time RT-PCR was performed to investigate gene expression. The data obtained were compared using the Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests (⍺ = 5%). Morphologically, there were no significant changes in the middle palatal suture of rats exposed or not to cigarette smoke during 3, 7, 14 and 21 days (p> 0.05). On the other hand, osteoclastogenic signaling was increased in animals exposed to smoke and was characterized by a higher production of RANKL at 3 and 14 days (p <0.05), with no change in the synthesis of RANK and osteoprotegerin (p> 0.05). Interestingly, in the exposed animals, an early increase in the synthesis of osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein and osteopontin was also identified at 3 days of exposure (p <0.05), not sustained over time (p> 0.05). Cigarette smoke modulates osteogenic and osteoclastogenic signaling in the middle palatal suture of young rats, although morphological changes have not been evidenced.

Abstract This study evaluated the microbiological quality and prevalence of Escherichia coli and diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes (DEP) among fresh-squeezed orange juice from street vendors and their hygienic practices. Sixty orange juice stalls in Mexico City were visited, and 60 samples were purchased. Most (65%) of the street vendors had poor hygienic practices. Twelve (20%) prepared orange juice at the time of purchase, while the other stalls sold already-squeezed orange juice. All samples analyzed were positive for aerobic mesophilic bacteria, with limits ranging from 1 to 6.8 log CFU/mL. A total of 35 (58.3%), 27 (45%), and 5 (8.3%) samples were positive for total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and E. coli, respectively, present at concentrations ranging from < 3 to > 1100, < 3 to > 1100, and < 3 to 53 MPN/mL, respectively. Two samples harbored DEP at concentrations of 3.6 and 9.2 MPN/mL. Both samples harbored Shiga toxin-producing E. coli strains, positive for the Shiga toxin 2 (stx2) locus. Our results suggest that consumption of fresh-squeezed street-vended orange juice may pose a health risk for consumers, revealing the necessity to implement adequate hygiene and safety practices to protect the health of consumers.

Abstract Peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) has been shown to be a neurological manifestation of COVID-19. The current study presents two cases of PFP after COVID-19, along with a rapid review of known cases in the literature. Both case reports were conducted following CARE guidelines. We also performed a systematic review of PFP cases temporally related to COVID-19 using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases on August 30, 2021, using a rapid review methodology. The two patients experienced PFP 102 and 110 days after COVID-19 symptom onset. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in nasal samples through reverse-transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) testing. Anosmia was the only other neurological manifestation. PFP was treated with steroids in both cases, with complete subsequent recovery. In the rapid review, we identified 764 articles and included 43 studies. From those, 128 patients with PFP were analyzed, of whom 42.1% (54/128) were male, 39.06% (50/128) female, and in 23 cases the gender was not reported. The age range was 18 to 59 (54.68%). The median time between COVID-19 and PFP was three days (ranging from the first symptom of COVID-19 to 40 days after the acute phase of infection). Late PFP associated with COVID-19 presents mild symptoms and improves with time, with no identified predictors. Late PFP should be added to the spectrum of neurological manifestations associated with the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection as a post COVID-19 condition.

Abstract Bjerkandera adusta, a globally distributed fungus, is commonly used in the nutritional practices of the East Asian population. In this study, we evaluated the nutritional composition of the lyophilized mycelium of B. adusta as well as the phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of its extracts. The mycelium exhibited moisture (7.97 %), ash (3.27 %), and fiber (5.31 %) content values similar to the established values reported in the available literature. In addition, a high protein (9.32 %) and carbohydrate (63.45 %) content was shown, with a low lipid (1.36 %) content. The energy value per 100 g sample of mycelium was 1445.85 kJ. The results obtained indicated a statistically significant variation (p < 0.05) in the phenolic composition (81.84-110.96 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per g of extract), free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity (IC50 29.05-340.46 µg·mL-1), phosphomolybdenum antioxidant content (34.89-55.64 %), reduction of ferricyanide ion (66.55-69.4 %), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values (44.66-133.03 %). These results are unprecedented for this species and emphasize its nutraceutical potential.

Métodos: Estudo transversal com 393 trabalhadores, utilizando as versões brasileiras das Escalas de Comprometimento com a Carreira (ECC) e de Entrincheiramento na Carreira (EEC). Resultados: Os níveis de Comprometimento [75,5 - 77,5] foram superiores (p<0,001) aos de Entrincheiramento [66,7 - 69,2]. Os níveis de Identidade [82,7 - 85,5] foram superiores (p<0,001) aos níveis de Investimentos [60,4 - 65,0]. Os níveis de Resiliência com a carreira [75,1 - 79,2] foram superiores (p<0,001) aos níveis de Custos emocionais com a carreira [69,0 - 72,1]. Os níveis de Planejamento [64,2 - 67,1] foram inferiores (p<0,001) aos níveis de Limitação de alternativas [68,1 - 71,0]. Conclusão: Predominou o vínculo de comprometimento com a carreira, evidenciando identificação e relação positiva dos trabalhadores com a carreira, os quais permanecem na Atenção Primária à Saúde porque se identificam com a profissão.

ABSTRACT Objective: Assess levels of career commitment and career entrenchment among Primary Health Care workers. Methods: This Cross-sectional study addressed 393 workers using the Brazilian versions of the Career Commitment Measure (CCM) and Career Entrenchment Measure (CEM). Results: Levels of Career commitment [75.5-77.5] were higher (p<0.001) than Career Entrenchment [66.7-69.2]. Identity levels [82.7-85.5] were higher (p<0.001) than Investment levels [60.4-65.0]. Career resilience levels [75.1-79.2] were higher (p<0.001) than Emotional costs [69.0-72.1]. Planning levels [64.2-67.1] were lower (p<0.001) than levels of limitedness of career alternatives [68.1-71.0]. Conclusion: The highest scores were obtained in Career commitment, showing the workers’ identification and positive relationship with their careers, that is, these workers remain in Primary Health Care services because they identify themselves with their professions.

Resumen La investigación propone una metodología para la medición y evaluación de seis criterios de sostenibilidad urbana y aspecto físico (morfología), como aproximación válida para la determinación de la calidad de desarrollo urbano, aplicada a una ciudad intermedia colombiana: Bucaramanga. Resulta estratégico tener como objetivo la medición a través de indicadores de sostenibilidad, con miras a determinar problemáticas ambientales particularizadas y diferentes, posiblemente, en los ámbitos nacional o latinoamericano, con un enfoque de sostenibilidad y de forma urbana (aspecto físico-morfológico). La fundamentación teórica parte de instrumentos científicos. En este sentido, los indicadores son capaces de analizar las cualidades del paisaje urbano, a partir de sus elementos morfológicos, de configuración de los espacios de la ciudad. Se trata de la realización de un producto sistémico y metodológico, una tabla de criterios (escala, accesibilidad, conectividad, densidad, diversidad y nodalidad), segmentos, unidades y referentes de evaluación que pueden aplicarse en diferentes paisajes urbanos y sirven como matriz de análisis en la comprensión de tejidos urbanos. Se analizan dieciséis muestras de tejidos urbanos. Según la medición y la evaluación de datos, cuatro de estas cumplen criterios de sostenibilidad, diez apenas cumplen y dos no cumplen, lo cual deja claro un panorama escueto en cuanto a sostenibilidad urbana, aspecto físico-morfológico en Bucaramanga.

Resumo A pesquisa propõe uma metodologia para a medição e avaliação de seis critérios de sustentabilidade urbana e aspecto físico (morfologia), como uma abordagem válida para determinar a qualidade do desenvolvimento urbano, aplicada a uma cidade intermediária colombiana: Bucaramanga. É estratégico ter como objetivo a mensuração por meio de indicadores de sustentabilidade, com vistas a determinar problemas ambientais particulares e diferenciados, possivelmente, no ámbito nacional ou latinoamericano, com foco na sustentabilidade e na forma urbana (aspecto físico-morfológico). A fundamentação teórica é baseada em instrumentos científicos. Nesse sentido, os indicadores são capazes de analisar as qualidades da paisagem urbana, a partir de seus elementos morfológicos, de configuração dos espaços da cidade. Trata-se da realização de um produto sistêmico e metodológico, uma tabela de critérios (escala, acessibilidade, conectividade, densidade, diversidade e nodalidade), segmentos, unidades e referências de avaliação que podem ser aplicadas em diferentes paisagens urbanas e servir como matriz de análise para compreender os tecidos urbanos. Dezesseis amostras de tecidos urbanos são analisadas. De acordo com a medição e avaliação dos dados, quatro amostras atendem aos critérios de sustentabilidade, dez atendem parcialmente e duas não atendem, o que deixa um quadro claro em termos de sustentabilidade urbana, aspecto físico-morfológico em Bucaramanga.

Abstract The research proposes a methodology for measuring and evaluating six criteria of urban sustainability and physical appearance (morphology) as a valid approach for determining the quality of urban development applied to an intermediate Colombian city: Bucaramanga. It is strategic to have as an objective the measurement through sustainability indicators, to determine particularized and different environmental problems, possibly, in the national or Latin American spheres, focusing on sustainability and urban form (physical-morphological aspect). In this sense, the indicators can analyze the qualities of the urban landscape based on its morphological elements, the configuration of the spaces of the city. The theoretical foundation is based on scientific instruments. It is about creating a systemic and methodological product, a table of criteria (scale, accessibility, connectivity, density, diversity, and nodality), segments, units, and evaluation references that can be applied in different urban landscapes and serve as an analysis matrix to understand urban fabrics or structures. Sixteen samples of urban fabrics were analyzed. According to the measurement and evaluation of data, four met sustainability criteria, ten barely met them, and two did not meet any criteria, which leaves a clear picture of urban sustainability regarding the physical-morphological aspect in Bucaramanga.

Abstract: En

Aim: describe the methodological approach adopted to build a Brazilian database of LCTFs in the country. Methods: This exploratory research was conducted between August 2020 and 2021 based on primarily publicly accessible data. First, the database of the Sistema Único de Assistência Social for 2019 was adopted as the primary source of information. In addition, public agencies and managers were consulted and invited to share their databases. Likewise, researchers and private entities also collaborated by making their spreadsheets available. The information collected was placed in individual spreadsheets for each Brazilian state. LTCFs not catering to older adults (aged 60 and over) were excluded. Duplicate data were excluded when overlaps were identified for each new aggregated source. Results amp; Discussion: This brief communication describes the methodology adopted for mapping the current status of Brazilian LTCFs. Despite its caveats, this study represents an important advance in the identification, characterization, and monitoring of these services nationwide. A total of 5769 facilities were found in the 2019 SUAS census. After excluding facilities not caring for residents aged 60 or over, this total decreased to 2381 LTCFs. Consolidating and filtering the information from multiple data sources led to the identification of 7029 LTCFs for the country as a whole.

ABSTRACT Cryptic shock is a poorly identified clinical entity, and it still describes a patient with signs of tissue hypoperfusion without affecting blood pressure. In the emergency department, it is important to identify signs of hypoperfusion and evaluate various hidden sources of infection by taking a complete medical history, a thorough physical examination, and, if necessary advanced imaging. It is necessary to conclude that the importance of the timely diagnosis of this clinical entity helps to improve the prognosis significantly.

RESUMEN El shock críptico es una entidad clínica poco identificada, describe a un paciente con signos de hipoperfusión tisular sin afectación de la presión arterial. En el departamento de emergencia es importante identificar signos de hipoperfusión y evaluar diversas fuentes ocultas de infección realizando una historia clínica completa, un examen físico exhaustivo y de ser necesario imagenología avanzada. Es necesario concluir que la importancia del diagnóstico oportuno de esta entidad clínica ayuda a mejorar significativamente el pronóstico.
