ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Nutritional status and growth curves can affect cognitive development, increase the risk of infection, and contribute to the development of chronic diseases. Its etiology is related to food, socioeconomic, and maternal conditions. However, to date, no data on these parameters exist in the state of Goiás, Brazil. OBJECTIVE: To compare the nutritional status and growth curves of children and adolescents in the city of Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 529 individuals were recruited from a primary health center in the municipality. METHODS: To assess nutritional status, the sample was divided into three categories: 3–4, 5–10, and 11–19 years, with z-score classification considering body mass index for age. The classification of growth curves was performed considering the median height values for age, assuming two references: (a) young Brazilian population and (b) one recommended for international use. The independent sample T-test was used to compare anthropometric variables. RESULTS: The results showed that the classification of eutrophics represents a predominant percentage between both sexes (men: 03–04 = 55.4%; 05–10 = 57.6%; 11–19 = 53.5 % and women: 03–04 = 53.5%; 05–10 = 63.9%; 11–19 = 56.9%), and growth curves showed differences in specific periods in both sexes. CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that children and adolescents from the city of Goiânia present as predominance the eutrophic nutritional status, followed by the risk of overweight, underweight, obesity, and malnutrition of both sexes.

ABSTRACT Objective Patients with cancer often undergo multiple extended treatments that decrease their quality of life. However, the quality of life of women with breast cancer after they undergo treatment remains underexplored in Brazil. Therefore, this study determined sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors related to the post-treatment quality of life of women with breast cancer. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 101 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2014 and 2016 and treated at a Brazilian Oncology Reference Service. Data were collected from them using face-to-face surveys. Quality of life was evaluated using the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and EORTC Breast Cancer-specific Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BR23). The data collected were analyzed using Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results The median score on the global health, functional, and symptom scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30 was 75.00 (Interquartile range=33.33), 75.99 (Standard deviation [SD]=19.26), and 19.67 (SD=16.91), respectively. The mean score on the functional and symptom scales of the EORTC QLQ-BR23 was 61.89 (SD=17.21) and 20.12 (SD=16.94), respectively. Furthermore, higher post-treatment quality of life was found to be associated with being aged 50 or more, being Black, having eight or more years of education, having a partner, having a paying job, receiving treatment from the private healthcare system, having a higher income, living in the municipality where healthcare services are availed, engaging in physical activity, not smoking, being more religious, having more social support, not being overweight, having no comorbidities, and undergoing lumpectomy. Conclusion Sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors significantly impact the quality of life of women who undergo breast cancer treatment. Implementing interventions that improve health and reducing inequalities in the access to healthcare services can improve the quality of life of these patients.

RESUMO A crescente demanda industrial faz com que os povoamentos florestais e o número de áreas com plantações de eucalipto cresçam rapidamente no Brasil e no mundo. Isto tem aumentado a utilização de diferentes materiais genéticos nas áreas de cultivo, aumentando a incidência de pragas e doenças. Entre elas está a murcha causada pelo fungo Ceratocystis fimbriata, uma das doenças mais comuns nas plantações de eucalipto. Diante disto, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as respostas ecofisiológicas de mudas clonais de Eucalyptus spp. inoculadas com diferentes isolados de C. fimbriata. Os tratamentos foram LPF 1512, 1806, 1607 e 1657 dos estados de São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Bahia e Mato Grosso do Sul, respectivamente, e um controle composto por água destilada. Os isolados fúngicos foram inoculados 60 dias após o plantio das mudas. Após a inoculação, o crescimento, o gás, a temperatura da folha e a fluorescência da clorofila a foram analisados. Independentemente do isolado, a inoculação com C. fimbriata aumentou a resistência ao fluxo de água nos vasos do xilema das plantas de eucalipto, causando estresse hídrico. Isso resulta em trocas gasosas reduzidas e desempenho fotossintético comprometido, conforme evidenciado pela diminuição do fluxo de absorção por centro de reação e baixos valores de índice fotossintético. Além disso, a análise de patogenicidade fúngica indicou que o isolado LPF 1657 foi mais virulento para mudas de eucalipto, afetando diretamente a altura, assimilação fotossintética de CO2, condutância estomática e transpiração das plantas inoculadas. mundo cultivo disto spp C 1512 1806 160 165 Paulo Gerais Sul respectivamente destilada 6 crescimento gás analisados hídrico comprometido disso altura CO2 CO 151 180 16 15 18 1

ABSTRACT Ever-increasing industrial demand means that forest stands and the number of areas with Eucalyptus plantations are growing rapidly in Brazil and worldwide. This has increased the use of genetic materials, increasing the incidences of pests and diseases. Wilt is caused by the Ceratocystis fimbriata fungus, which is one of the most common diseases in Eucalyptus plantations. This study aimed to evaluate the ecophysiological responses of clonal seedlings of Eucalyptus spp. inoculated with different C. fimbriata isolates. The treatments were LPF 1512, 1806, 1607, and 1657 from the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Mato Grosso do Sul, respectively, and a control comprising distilled water. Fungal isolates were inoculated 60 days after seedling planting. After inoculation, the growth, gas, leaf temperature, and chlorophyll a fluorescence were analyzed. Regardless of the isolate, inoculation with C. fimbriata increased water flow resistance in the xylem vessels of Eucalyptus plants, causing water stress. This results in reduced gas exchange and compromised photosynthetic performance, as evidenced by decreased absorption flux per reaction center and low photosynthetic index values. Furthermore, fungal pathogenicity analysis indicated that the LPF 1657 isolate was most virulent to Eucalyptus seedlings, directly affecting the height, photosynthetic CO2 assimilation, stomatal conductance, and transpiration of the inoculated plants.

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito e o melhor nível de inclusão de glicerina bruta na ensilagem de capim Tifton 85 (Cynodon dactylon) sobre os parâmetros fermentativos e a composição química da silagem. Os tratamentos consistiram de silagem de capim Tifton 85 (controle) e silagem de capim Tifton 85 com quatro níveis de inclusão de glicerina bruta (1, 5, 10 e 15% de inclusão na matéria natural) durante a ensilagem. Utilizou-se um delineamento inteiramente casualizado sendo quatro tratamentos mais o controle com cinco repetições. Foi verificado que a inclusão de 1%, 5%, 10% e 15% de glicerina bruta diminuiu 18%, 18%, 20% e 22% o valor de pH em relação a silagem controle (5,0), respectivamente. A inclusão de 15% de glicerina bruta na silagem de capim Tifton 85 aumentou 4,3% o teor de carboidratos totais, 67,4% o teor de extrato etéreo e 17,7% o teor de nutrientes digestíveis totais em relação à silagem controle. A utilização de 15% de glicerina bruta na matéria natural de capim Tifton 85 durante a ensilagem melhora o perfil fermentativo e as características nutricionais da silagem.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect and the best level of crude glycerin inclusion in grass ensiling Tifton 85 (Cynodon dactylon) on fermentative parameters and silage chemical composition. Treatments consisted of Tifton 85 grass silage (control) and silage Tifton 85 grass with four levels of inclusion of crude glycerin (1, 5, 10 and 15% inclusion in natural matter) during ensiling. A completely randomized design with four treatments more control with five replications was used. It has been found that the inclusion of 1%, 5%, 10%, 15% crude glycerin decreased by 18%, 18%, 20% and 22%, the pH value compared to the control silage (5.0), respectively. The inclusion of 15% crude glycerin in silage Tifton 85 grass increased by 4.3% in total carbohydrate, 67.4% in the ether extract and 17.7% in the total digestible nutrient content compared to control silage. The use of 15% crude glycerin in the natural field of Tifton 85 grass during ensiling enhances the fermentation profile and the nutritional characteristics of silage.
