Abstract The use of alternative technologies involving biological processes, with economic and ecological gains, is desirable for both the expansion of Musa spp. farming and the renovation of areas with low yields. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can stimulate plant growth, especially by increasing the absorption of phosphorus (P) and other nutrients. This study analyzes the influence of AMF on the growth and physiology of micropropagated Musaspp. plants submitted to doses of P. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in a 5 x 5 factorial arrangement, in which the factors were inoculation with AMF (Glomus clarum, Gigaspora margarita, , Gigaspora albida,Clareoideoglomus etunicatum, and the control without AMF) and five doses of P (0, 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg kg-1), with four replicates. The application of P doses increased growth in micropropagated Musaspp. seedlings, regardless of mycorrhizal inoculation. The highest rates of mycorrhizal colonization occurred at the lowest P doses, and the dose of 50 mg kg-1 P provided better conditions for mycorrhizal formation in all AMF species under study. The symbioses with AMF, as well as the use of P, increased photosynthesis rate, thus favoring the growth, development, and quality of Musa spp. seedlings. Species G. clarum, C. etunicatum, and G. margarita were the most promising for plant growth.
Resumo O uso de tecnologias alternativas que envolvem processos biológicos, com ganhos econômicos e ecológicos, é desejável para a expansão da bananicultura e a renovação de áreas que apresentam baixas produtividades. Os fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMAs) têm a capacidade de estimular o crescimento das plantas, especialmente por meio do incremento na absorção do fósforo (P) e de outros nutrientes. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, verificar a influência dos FMAs sobre o crescimento e a fisiologia de mudas micropropagadas de bananeira submetidas a doses de P. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos casualizados, em arranjo fatorial 5 x 5, sendo os fatores inoculação com os FMAs (Glomus clarum, Gigaspora margarita, Gigaspora albida e Clareoideoglomus etunicatum e o controle sem FMAs), e cinco doses de P (0; 50; 100; 200 e 400 mg kg-1), com quatro repetições. A aplicação de doses de P proporcionou maior crescimento das mudas micropropagadas de bananeira, independentemente da inoculação micorrízica. As maiores taxas de colonização micorrízica foram observadas nas menores doses de P, sendo a dose de 50 mg kg-1 de P a que proporcionou melhores condições na formação de micorrizas para todas as espécies de FMAs avaliadas. As simbioses com FMAs e o uso de P proporcionaram aumento da taxa de fotossíntese das plantas, favorecendo o crescimento, o desenvolvimento e a qualidade de mudas de bananeira.

OBJECTIVES: To prospectively evaluate demographic, anthropometric and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) METHODS: This was a longitudinal observational study of surviving pediatric post-COVID-19 patients (n=53) and pediatric subjects without laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 included as controls (n=52) was performed. RESULTS: The median duration between COVID-19 diagnosis (n=53) and follow-up was 4.4 months (0.8-10.7). Twenty-three of 53 (43%) patients reported at least one persistent symptom at the longitudinal follow-up visit and 12/53 (23%) had long COVID-19, with at least one symptom lasting for >12 weeks. The most frequently reported symptoms at the longitudinal follow-up visit were headache (19%), severe recurrent headache (9%), tiredness (9%), dyspnea (8%), and concentration difficulty (4%). At the longitudinal follow-up visit, the frequencies of anemia (11% versus 0%, p=0.030), lymphopenia (42% versus 18%, p=0.020), C-reactive protein level of >30 mg/L (35% versus 0%, p=0.0001), and D-dimer level of >1000 ng/mL (43% versus 6%, p=0.0004) significantly reduced compared with baseline values. Chest X-ray abnormalities (11% versus 2%, p=0.178) and cardiac alterations on echocardiogram (33% versus 22%, p=0.462) were similar at both visits. Comparison of characteristic data between patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit and controls showed similar age (p=0.962), proportion of male sex (p=0.907), ethnicity (p=0.566), family minimum monthly wage (p=0.664), body mass index (p=0.601), and pediatric pre-existing chronic conditions (p=1.000). The Pediatric Quality of Live Inventory 4.0 scores, median physical score (69 [0-100] versus 81 [34-100], p=0.012), and school score (60 [15-100] versus 70 [15-95], p=0.028) were significantly lower in pediatric patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit than in controls. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric patients with COVID-19 showed a longitudinal impact on HRQoL parameters, particularly in physical/school domains, reinforcing the need for a prospective multidisciplinary approach for these patients. These data highlight the importance of closer monitoring of children and adolescents by the clinical team after COVID-19.

ABSTRACT The knowledge of the germination responses of seeds from plants growing along river margins or in areas susceptible to flooding is an important factor in the adoption of restoration practices. Considering that maturation of fruits of Genipa Americana L. when river margins are flooded, we raised some questions: Is seed germination of this species affected by water submersion, and, do distinct seed populations present differences in germination? Seeds of G. Americana were submerged in water for different periods to assess the germination and growing responses, using populations from different locations. Water submersion decreased the germination percentage and the germination speed index, and increased seed mean germination time in both populations. Growth was found to be hampered for most variables in the different seed populations. The adaptation of G. Americana to flooding involves the seeds being tolerant to submersion, with this factor not being effective in distinguishing populations studied here.

ABSTRACT The biotic potential and reproductive parameters of Spodoptera dolichos (Fabricius, 1794) were evaluated under controlled conditions (25 ± 1°C, 70 ± 10% RH and 14 hour photophase). The longevity, pre-, post- and oviposition periods, fecundity, and fertility of 25 couples were evaluated. The longevity of females (12.9 days) was not significantly different than that of males (12.4 days). The mean durations of the pre-, post- and oviposition periods were 3.0, 0.4 and 10.4 days, respectively. The mean fecundity was 4,086.0 eggs per female and mean fertility was 3,557.8 larvae per female. On average, a female copulated 1.4 times. The biotic potential of S. dolichos was estimated at 7.138 x 1018 individuals/female/year. The net reproductive rate (Ro) was 1,711.98 times per generation and the mean generation time (T) was 56.19 days. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was 0.133, with a finite rate of increase (l) of 1.142 per day. These results are compared with other species from Spodoptera and their relevance for management strategies of S. dolichos.

Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil is home to 32,086 native Angiosperms and 23 native Gymnosperms, showing an increase of 3% in its species richness in relation to 2010. The Amazon Rainforest is the richest Brazilian biome for Gymnosperms, while the Atlantic Rainforest is the richest one for Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment in the number of species and endemism rates for biomes, except for the Amazon that showed a decrease of 2.5% of recorded endemics. However, well over half of Brazillian seed plant species (57.4%) is endemic to this territory. The proportion of life-forms varies among different biomes: trees are more expressive in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest biomes while herbs predominate in the Pampa, and lianas are more expressive in the Amazon, Atlantic Rainforest, and Pantanal. This compilation serves not only to quantify Brazilian biodiversity, but also to highlight areas where there information is lacking and to provide a framework for the challenge faced in conserving Brazil's unique and diverse flora.
Resumo Um levantamento atualizado das plantas com sementes e análises relevantes acerca desta biodiversidade são apresentados. Este trabalho se iniciou em 2010 com a publicação do Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos e, desde então vem sendo atualizado por mais de 430 especialistas trabalhando online. O Brasil abriga atualmente 32.086 espécies nativas de Angiospermas e 23 espécies nativas de Gimnospermas e estes novos dados mostram um aumento de 3% da riqueza em relação a 2010. A Amazônia é o Domínio Fitogeográfico com o maior número de espécies de Gimnospermas, enquanto que a Floresta Atlântica possui a maior riqueza de Angiospermas. Houve um crescimento considerável no número de espécies e nas taxas de endemismo para a maioria dos Domínios (Caatinga, Cerrado, Floresta Atlântica, Pampa e Pantanal), com exceção da Amazônia que apresentou uma diminuição de 2,5% de endemicidade. Entretanto, a maior parte das plantas com sementes que ocorrem no Brasil (57,4%) é endêmica deste território. A proporção de formas de vida varia de acordo com os diferentes Domínios: árvores são mais expressivas na Amazônia e Floresta Atlântica do que nos outros biomas, ervas são dominantes no Pampa e as lianas apresentam riqueza expressiva na Amazônia, Floresta Atlântica e Pantanal. Este trabalho não só quantifica a biodiversidade brasileira, mas também indica as lacunas de conhecimento e o desafio a ser enfrentado para a conservação desta flora.

The present study investigated the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment (SRP) on the composition of the subgingival microbiota of chronic periodontitis (CP) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (DM2) with inadequate metabolic control and in systemically healthy (SH) individuals. Forty individuals (20 DM2 and 20 SH) with CP underwent full-mouth periodontal examination. Subgingival plaque was sampled from 4 deep sites of each individual and tested for mean prevalence and counts of 45 bacterial taxa by the checkerboard method. Clinical and microbiological assessments were performed before and 3 months after SRP. At baseline, those in the DM2 group presented a significantly higher percentage of sites with visible plaque and bleeding on probing compared with those in the SH group (p < 0.01). Those in the DM2 group presented significantly higher levels of C. rectus and P. gingivalis, and lower prevalence of P. micra and S. anginosus, compared with those in the SH group (p ≤ 0.001). At the 3-month visit, both groups showed a significant improvement in all clinical parameters (p < 0.01). Those in the DM2 group showed significantly higher prevalence and/or levels of A. gerencseriae, A. naeslundii I, A. oris, A. odontolyticus, C. sputigena, F. periodonticum, and G. morbillorum compared with those in the SH group (p ≤ 0.001). However, those in the DM2 group showed a significant reduction in the levels of P. intermedia, P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, and T. denticola (p ≤ 0.001) over time. Those in the SRP group showed improved periodontal status and reduced levels of putative periodontal pathogens at 3 months’ evaluation compared with those in the DM2 group with inadequate metabolic control.

The niger plant (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) is a herbaceous annual with a potential for biodiesel production but information on seed quality is scarce. The objective of this study was to determine the temperatures and substrates for seed germination and initial seedling development, besides characterizing niger seed and seedling morphology. One thousand seed weight, moisture content, weight, length, width and thickness of seeds were determined. The seed germination test was done at a constant temperature in continuous light (15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C) and with an alternating temperature (20-30 °C) with 10 h dark and 14 h of white light for the highest temperature and two substrates (on paper and between paper). The seed imbibitions curves germination percentage, germination speed index, mean germination time, seedling length and dry weight were determinated. The niger seeds had similar dimensions: 4.54 mm long, 1.39 mm wide, 1.15 mm thick and a mean weight of 0.0043 g. The 20-30 °C and 25 °C temperatures and the two substrates tested are suitable for the niger seed germination test.
O niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) é uma herbácea anual com potencial para produção de biodiesel, porém com poucas informações referentes à qualidade de suas sementes. Com isso, objetivou-se determinar as temperaturas e substratos para a germinação e desenvolvimento inicial de plântulas, além de caracterizar morfologicamente as sementes e plântulas. Foram determinados o peso de mil sementes, grau de umidade, massa, comprimento, largura e espessura das sementes. No teste de germinação foram utilizadas quatro temperaturas constantes sob luz branca constante (15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C e 30 °C) e uma temperatura alternada (20-30 °C) sob regime de 10 horas de escuro e 14 horas de luz branca para a temperatura mais elevada e dois substratos (entre papel e sobre papel). Foram determinadas as curvas de embebição das sementes, a germinação, o índice de velocidade de germinação, o tempo médio de germinação e o comprimento e massa seca de plântulas. As sementes de niger possuem dimensões semelhantes entre si, média de 4,54 mm de comprimento, 1,39 mm de largura, 1,15 mm de espessura e 0,0043 g de peso. As temperaturas 20-30 °C e 25 °C e ambos os substratos testados são eficientes para a condução do teste de germinação em sementes de niger.

Some bat species have adapted to the expanding human population by acquiring the ability to roost in urban buildings, increasing the exposure risk for people and domestic animals, and consequently, the likelihood of transmitting rabies. Three dead bats were found in the yard of a house in an urban area of Jundiaí city in the state of São Paulo in southeast Brazil. Two of the three bats tested positive for rabies, using Fluorescent Antibody and Mouse Inoculation techniques. A large colony of Eptesicus furinalis was found in the house's attic, and of the 119 bats captured, four more tested positive for rabies. The objectives of this study were to report the rabies diagnosis, characterize the isolated virus antigenically and genetically, and study the epidemiology of the colony.
Algumas espécies de morcegos têm se adaptado ao uso de abrigos em construções urbanas, aumentando a possibilidade de contato desses morcegos com pessoas e animais domésticos e conseqüentemente, o potencial risco de transmissão de raiva. Três morcegos foram encontrados no jardim de uma casa na área urbana da cidade de Jundiaí, Estado de São Paulo, Sudeste do Brasil, dois deles foram positivos para raiva pelas técnicas de imunofluorescência e inoculação em camundongos. Uma grande colônia de E. furinalis foi identificada, vivendo no sótão da casa e 119 morcegos foram encaminhados para diagnóstico de raiva, com mais quatro morcegos positivos. O objetivo desse estudo é apresentar a caracterização genética e antigênica do vírus da raiva isolado desses morcegos e o estudo epidemiológico da colônia.

This work presents the first results achieved through an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional effort conduct by the Geoma Network, aiming to advance in the comprehension of the new frontiers in the South of the Pará State, in the Amazonian region, by examining the new patterns of deforestation and the underlying processes that are generating them. Our objective is to product information aiding to draw responsible public policies considering not only one dimension of the problem like roads infra-structure, as usual. Based on the analysis presented here we pointed out that only an integrated solution, that considers the main actors and the organization of economical processes in the productive chains over the region, would be capable to minimize the effects of deforestation and would drive an integrated development policy to the region bringing benefits to forest conservation and the local population.
Este trabalho apresenta os primeiros resultados do esforço conjunto de várias instituições, organizadas em torno da rede Geoma (Rede Temática de Pesquisa em Modelagem Ambiental da Amazônia) para avançar a compreensão dos novos padrões e processos de estruturação do território nas novas frentes no sul do Pará, analisando padrões de desmatamento e os processos que dão origem a esses padrões. Busca-se, aqui, produzir os subsídios necessários para o desenho de políticas públicas responsáveis, que não privilegiem um único aspecto do problema, como a abertura de estradas, por exemplo. Aponta-se, então, a partir desses primeiros resultados, que apenas uma solução integrada que procure estruturar os principais agentes e processos na cadeia produtiva seria possível para minorar os efeitos do desmatamento e nortear o desenvolvimento integrado para a região, com benefícios para a floresta e para as populações que ali vivem.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the development of motor function in children born preterm with those born at term, at 8 and 12 months of age. To investigate the relation of motor function quality at the age of 8 months with motor ability at 12 months. METHOD: Thirty-two children participated in this study: 16 were born preterm (risk group) and 16 were born at term (control group). The spontaneous movements of the children were assessed at 8 months and their mobility skills and independence were assessed at 12 months (corrected ages for the preterm group), using standardized developmental tests (AIMS and PEDI, respectively). Data were analysed using independent t-tests (between-group comparison) and Pearson correlation coefficients (within-group comparison). RESULTS: There was no significant difference in motor function, between those born preterm with those born at term, either at 8 or at 12 months of age. In the control group, there was significant association (r=0.67; p=0.004) between movement at 8 months and mobility skills at 12 months. In the risk group, there was significant relationship between skills and independence in mobility, at 12 months corrected age (r=0.80; p=0.0001). CONCLUSION: Preterm born children, without other disorders and with age correction, might show a similar motor development as those born at term. The path for the acquisition of motor abilities in preterm born children appears to differ among those infants.
OBJETIVO: Comparar o desenvolvimento da função motora de crianças nascidas pré-termo com crianças nascidas a termo, aos 8 e 12 meses de idade. Investigar a relação entre a qualidade motora aos 8 meses e a habilidade motora aos 12 meses. MÉTODO: Trinta e duas crianças participaram deste estudo: 16 nascidas pré-termo (grupo de risco) e 16 nascidas a termo (grupo controle). A movimentação espontânea das crianças foi avaliada aos 8 meses e as habilidades e independência em mobilidade foram avaliadas aos 12 meses de idade (idades corrigidas para grupo pré-termo), utilizando-se testes infantis padronizados (AIMS e PEDI, respectivamente). Os dados foram analisados através dos textes t de Student para grupos independentes (comparação entre grupos) e de correlação de Pearson (comparação intra grupo). RESULTADOS: Não foi evidenciada diferença significativa na comparação de crianças nascidas a termo com as pré-termo nem aos 8 nem aos 12 meses de idade. No grupo controle, foi observada relação significativa (r=0,67; p=0,004) entre movimentação aos 8 meses e habilidade de mobilidade aos 12 meses. No grupo de risco, houve relação significativa entre habilidade e independência em mobilidade aos 12 meses de idade corrigida (r=0,80; p=0,0001). CONCLUSÃO: Na ausência de outros distúrbios e com correção da idade em pré-termos, o desenvolvimento motor pode ser semelhante ao de crianças nascidas a termo. A forma pela qual as crianças nascidas pré-termo adquirem suas habilidades funcionais parece ocorrer de modo diferente da observada em crianças a termo.

The article calls attention to the existence of a ‘country’ culture in Brazil, that is, a pattern of urban sociability where aspects of rural life are adopted as expressions of sophistication and refinement. Some comparisons are drawn between this country style and the US ‘country and Western’ culture. The arguments presented make no pretense of exhausting the topic but are intended as a contribution towards further discussion. Since the ideas developed here have been derived from field work conducted in rural São Paulo and in Texas, caution should be exercised before making any generalizations.
Neste artigo, pretendi levantar alguns pontos sobre o country no Brasil. Em especial, procurei situar o country como padrão de sociabilidade urbana que tem o rural como tema e através do qual é possível ser depreendida uma instância de distinção, sofisticação e requinte. As conexões do padrão country estudado com a experiência norte-americana são igualmente evocadas neste texto. Os argumentos apresentados têm o objetivo de contribuir para a discussão da matéria e não o de tentar esgotá-la. Como são elaborações regidas pelo trabalho de campo realizado no interior do estado de São Paulo e no Texas-EUA, sua generalização merece cautela.
