ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate development in the following tree species: Acacia mangium Willd, Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil (Griseb.) Altschu, Casuarina equisetifolia L. ex J. R. Forst. & G. Forst, Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart. Ex DC.) Mattos, and Colubrina glandulosa subsp. reitzii (M.C.Johnst.) Borhidi under two water regimes in the Irrigated Perimeter of Baixo Acaraú, in the state of Ceará. The experiment was conducted over seven years, with the factors represented by water regimes, species and periods in an arrangement of split-split plots in a completely randomised design repeated over time with four replications of two plants each. The response variables were total height, diameter at breast height, volume, absolute growth rate in height and diameter, and current and average annual increase in volume. After seven years, the species Acacia mangium, Casuarina equisetifolia, Handroanthus impetiginosus, Anadenanthera colubrina and Colubrina glandulosa presented the following respective mean volumes: 0.62, 0.47, 0.45, 0.31 and 0.29 m3 irrespective of the water regime. Despite a reduction in the growth rates of the species during each period, they remained positive, and growth did not stop. The mean values for volume confirm that the species showed similar growth for the water regimes under study. An irrigated regime of up to one year is therefore suggested for cultivating these species in the Irrigated Perimeter of Baixo Acaraú, Ceará. Willd var Griseb. Griseb (Griseb.

Resumo Introdução: Este estudo investigou variáveis associadas à mortalidade em receptores de transplante renal (RTR) diagnosticados com doença linfoproliferativa pós-transplante (PTLD, do inglês post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease) e viremia simultânea pelo vírus Epstein-Barr (EBV). Métodos: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo incluindo RTR diagnosticados com PTLD entre 2018 e 2020. Desfecho: óbito em até dois anos após diagnóstico. Resultados: Entre 1.625 RTR que realizaram coleta de viremia para EBV (por PCR, 2018–2020) por qualquer motivo, 238 (14,6%) apresentaram carga viral positiva e 41 (17,2%) PTLD simultânea. Esses 41 pacientes tinham em média 40,1 anos ao diagnóstico e 8,6 anos após o transplante; 26,8% foram induzidos com rATG e 92,7% foram mantidos com tacrolimus e azatioprina (TAC/AZA) como regime imunossupressor. Linfonodos (75,6%) foram o local mais comum de PTLD, seguidos pelo trato gastrointestinal (48,8%), com 61,0% no estágio IV de Lugano e 80,5% PTLD monomórfica. A carga viral média do EBV foi 12.198 UI/mL. A sobrevida dos pacientes em um e dois anos após o diagnóstico foi 60,4% e 46,8%, respectivamente. Na análise de regressão de Cox, a idade ao diagnóstico de PTLD (HR para cada ano = 1,039; p < 0,001) e a carga viral do EBV (HR para cada log = 1,695; p = 0,026) foram associadas ao risco de óbito. Conclusão: Este estudo sugere que, em pacientes predominantemente em uso de TAC/AZA, a PTLD com carga viral simultânea positiva para EBV é um evento tardio, e a pior sobrevida está associada à idade mais avançada e à carga viral de EBV no momento do diagnóstico.

Abstract Introduction: This study investigated variables associated with mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) diagnosed with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) and a simultaneous Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viremia. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study enrolling KTRs diagnosed with PTLD between 2018 and 2020. Outcome: death within two years after diagnosis. Results: Among 1,625 KTRs who collected EBV viremia (by PCR, 2018–2020) for any reason, 238 (14.6%) had a positive viral load and 41 (17.2%) simultaneous PTLD. These 41 patients were 40.1 years old at diagnosis and 8.6 years after transplantation; 26.8% were induced with rATG and 92.7% were maintained on tacrolimus and azathioprine (TAC/AZA) as immunosuppressive regimen. Lymph nodes (75.6%) was the most common site of PTLD, followed by the gastrointestinal tract (48.8%), with 61.0% at Lugano stage IV and 80.5% monomorphic PTLD. The mean EBV viral load was 12,198 IU/mL. One- and two-year patient survival post-diagnosis was 60.4% and 46.8%, respectively. In the Cox regression analysis, age at PTLD diagnosis (HR for each year = 1.039; p < 0.001) and EBV viral load (HR for each log = 1.695; p = 0.026) were associated with risk of death. Conclusion: This study suggests that in patients predominantly on TAC/AZA, PTLD with simultaneous EBV positive viral load is a late event, and worse survival is associated with older age and EBV viral load at diagnosis.

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as fases de plastocrono em cultivares de soja com hábito de crescimento determinado e indeterminado. Os experimentos foram conduzidos no período de 2010/2011 a 2022/2023 em quatro locais do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, com 25 cultivares de soja com hábito de crescimento determinado (6) e indeterminado (19). Este estudo buscou dividir o plastocrono em fases durante o período de emissão de nós da soja. Em cultivares irrigadas de hábito de crescimento determinado, o plastocrono apresenta duas fases, a fase inicial de 59,7 °C dia nó-1 e a fase final de 65,7 °C dia nó-1. Em ambientes não irrigados, não há diferença entre as fases inicial e final do plastocrono. As cultivares de hábito de crescimento indeterminado com irrigação apresentam um plastocrono médio inicial e final de 64,1 °C dia nó-1, ao contrário da fase intermediária onde o plastocrono é de 58,5 °C dia nó-1. Em ambientes de sequeiro, as fases inicial e intermédia têm um valor médio de 60,6 °C dia nó-1, ao contrário da fase final com um plastocrono de 79,4 °C dia nó-1. A divisão do plastocrono em fases durante o período de emissão de nós na cultura da soja, proposta neste estudo, permite-nos melhorar o entendimento do desenvolvimento vegetativo de cultivares de soja de hábito de crescimento determinado e indeterminado e estabelecer bases ecofisiológicas para a construção de uma função cronológica. 20102011 2010 2011 2010/201 20222023 2022 2023 2022/202 Sul Brasil 2 6 (6 19. 19 .

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to identify plastochron phases in soybean cultivars with determinate and indeterminate growth habits. Experiments were conducted from 2010/2011 to 2022/2023 at four locations in Rio Grande do Sul state (RS), Brazil, using 25 soybean cultivars with determinate (6) and indeterminate (19) growth habits. This study divided the plastochron into phases during the soybean node emission stage. In irrigated cultivars with a determinate growth habit, the plastochron has an early and late phase of 59.7 and 65.7 °C day node-1, respectively. In rainfed (non-irrigated) environments, there is no difference between the early and late plastochron phases. The early and late plastochrons of irrigated cultivars with an indeterminate growth habit are 64.1 °C day node-1, while the intermediate phase is 58.5 °C day node-1. In rainfed environments, the average value of the early and intermediate phases is 60.6 °C day node-1, with a late plastochron of 79.4 °C day node-1. Dividing the plastochron into phases during node emission, as proposed in this study, improves understanding of vegetative development in soybean cultivars with determinate and indeterminate growth habits and establishes ecophysiological foundations for chronological function construction. 20102011 2010 2011 2010/201 20222023 2022 2023 2022/202 RS, RS , (RS) Brazil 2 6 (6 19 (19 stage 597 59 7 59. 657 65 65.

RESUMO Introdução: Doenças pulmonares são comuns em pacientes com doença renal em estágio terminal (DRET), dificultando o diagnóstico diferencial com COVID-19. Este estudo descreve achados de tomografia computadorizada de tórax (TC) em pacientes com DRET em terapia renal substitutiva (TRS) hospitalizados com suspeita de COVID-19. Métodos: Indivíduos maiores de 18 anos com DRET, encaminhados ao pronto-socorro com suspeita de COVID-19 foram incluídos. Dados clínicos e epidemiológicos foram extraídos de registros eletrônicos de saúde. A TC foi classificada como típica, indeterminada, atípica, negativa. Comparamos achados tomográficos de pacientes com COVID-19 positivos e negativos. Resultados: Recrutamos 109 pacientes (62,3% COVID-19-positivos) entre março e dezembro de 2020, idade média de 60 ± 12,5 anos, 43% mulheres. A etiologia mais comum da DRET foi diabetes. Tempo médio em diálise foi 36 meses, intervalo interquartil = 12–84. A lesão pulmonar mais comum foi opacidades em vidro fosco. O padrão típico de TC foi mais comum em pacientes com COVID-19 (40 (61%) vs. 0 (0%) em pacientes sem COVID-19, p < 0,001). Sensibilidade 60,61% (40/66), especificidade 100% (40/40). Valores preditivos positivos e negativos foram 100% e 62,3%, respectivamente. Padrão atípico de TC foi mais frequente em pacientes COVID-19-negativos (9 (14%) vs. 24 (56%) em COVID-19-positivos, p < 0,001), enquanto padrão indeterminado foi semelhante em ambos os grupos (13 (20%) vs. 6 (14%), p = 0,606), e padrão negativo foi mais comum em pacientes COVID-19-negativos (4 (6%) vs. 12 (28%), p = 0,002). Conclusões: Em pacientes com DRET em TRS hospitalizados, um padrão atípico de TC de tórax não pode excluir adequadamente o diagnóstico de COVID-19. Introdução , (DRET) COVID19.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Lung diseases are common in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD), making differential diagnosis with COVID-19 a challenge. This study describes pulmonary chest tomography (CT) findings in hospitalized ESKD patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT) with clinical suspicion of COVID-19. Methods: ESKD individuals referred to emergency department older than 18 years with clinical suspicion of COVID-19 were recruited. Epidemiological baseline clinical information was extracted from electronic health records. Pulmonary CT was classified as typical, indeterminate, atypical or negative. We then compared the CT findings of positive and negative COVID-19 patients. Results: We recruited 109 patients (62.3% COVID-19-positive) between March and December 2020, mean age 60 ± 12.5 years, 43% female. The most common etiology of ESKD was diabetes. Median time on dialysis was 36 months, interquartile range = 12–84. The most common pulmonary lesion on CT was ground glass opacities. Typical CT pattern was more common in COVID-19 patients (40 (61%) vs 0 (0%) in non-COVID-19 patients, p < 0.001). Sensitivity was 60.61% (40/66) and specificity was 100% (40/40). Positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 100% and 62.3%, respectively. Atypical CT pattern was more frequent in COVID-19-negative patients (9 (14%) vs 24 (56%) in COVID-19-positive, p < 0.001), while the indeterminate pattern was similar in both groups (13 (20%) vs 6 (14%), p = 0.606), and negative pattern was more common in COVID-19-negative patients (4 (6%) vs 12 (28%), p = 0.002). Conclusions: In hospitalized ESKD patients on RRT, atypical chest CT pattern cannot adequately rule out the diagnosis of COVID-19.

RESUMO Os coeficientes genéticos precisam ser calibrados para as cultivares mais representativas do mercado, portanto, é necessário adicionar novas cultivares a modelos como o SimulArroz. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi calibrar e avaliar o modelo SimulArroz para duas novas cultivares de arroz irrigado. Os experimentos foram conduzidos no município de Goianira em Goiás durante quatro safras (2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18) e no Rio Grande do Sul nos municípios de Alegrete (2015/16), Cachoeirinha (2015/16), Capão do Leão (2016/17, 2017/18), Santa Vitória do Palmar (2017/18) e Uruguaiana (2014/15, 2015/16). O delineamento utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições no Rio Grande do Sul e com parcelas de semeadura em Goianira. Foram utilizadas as cultivares BRS Catiana e BRS Pampa, sendo avaliadas o estádio Haun (HS), fenologia, biomassa de matéria seca da parte aérea e produtividade. A raiz do erro quadrático médio (RMSE) para matéria seca aérea variou de 51,7 a 577 g m-2, e para produtividade, a raiz do erro quadrático médio normalizado (NRMSE) variou de 24 a 32% e 22 a 35% para o potencial e alto nível tecnológico, respectivamente. O modelo SimulArroz foi capaz de prever satisfatoriamente o crescimento, desenvolvimento e produtividade para as cultivares BRS Catiana e BRS Pampa, aumentando sua área de aplicação e abrangendo também a região tropical do Brasil. mercado portanto Portanto irrigado 2014/15, 201415 2014 15 (2014/15 201516 2015 16 2015/16 201617 2016 17 2016/17 2017/18 201718 2017 18 , (2015/16) (2016/17 2017/18, (2017/18 2015/16. . 2015/16) casualizados Pampa HS, HS (HS) fenologia RMSE (RMSE 517 51 7 51, 57 m2, m2 m 2, 2 m-2 NRMSE (NRMSE 32 35 tecnológico respectivamente crescimento Brasil 2014/15 20141 201 1 (2014/1 20151 2015/1 20161 2016/1 2017/1 20171 (2015/16 (2016/1 (2017/1 (HS 5 m- 3 2014/1 20 (2014/ 2015/ 2016/ 2017/ (2015/1 (2016/ (2017/ 2014/ (2014 (2015/ (2016 (2017 (201 (2015 (20 (2 (

ABSTRACT Given genetical coefficients need to be calibrated for the most important cultivars on the market, new cultivars must be added to models such as SimulArroz. Thus, the aim of this study was to calibrate and evaluate the SimulArroz model for two new irrigated rice cultivars. The experiments were conducted in the municipality of Goianira in Goiás state during four growing seasons (2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18) and in Rio Grande do Sul state in the municipalities of Alegrete (2015/16), Cachoeirinha (2015/ 16), Capão do Leão (2016/17, 2017/18), Santa Vitória do Palmar (2017/18) and Uruguaiana (2014/15, 2015/16). A randomized block design was used, with four replicates in Rio Grande do Sul and sowing plots in Goianira. The BRS Catiana and BRS Pampa cultivars were used and the Haun stage (HS), phenology, shoot dry matter biomass and yield were evaluated. The root mean square error (RMSE) for above-ground dry matter ranged from 51.7 to 577 g m-2, and for yield, the normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) ranged from 24 to 32% and 22 to 35% for the potential and high technological levels, respectively. The SimulArroz model was able to satisfactorily predict the growth, development, and yield of the BRS Catiana and BRS Pampa cultivars, increasing their area of application, including the tropical region of Brazil. market Thus 2014/15, 201415 2014 15 (2014/15 201516 2015 16 2015/16 201617 2016 17 2016/17 2017/18 201718 2017 18 , (2015/16) 2015/ (2015 16, 16) (2016/17 2017/18, (2017/18 2015/16. . 2015/16) HS, HS (HS) phenology evaluated RMSE (RMSE aboveground above ground 517 51 7 51. 57 m2, m2 m 2, 2 m-2 NRMSE (NRMSE 32 35 levels respectively growth development application Brazil 2014/15 20141 201 1 (2014/1 20151 2015/1 20161 2016/1 2017/1 20171 (2015/16 (201 (2016/1 (2017/1 (HS 5 m- 3 2014/1 20 (2014/ 2016/ 2017/ (2015/1 (20 (2016/ (2017/ 2014/ (2014 (2 (2016 (2017 (

RESUMO O rompimento da Barragem do Fundão em Mariana, MG, ocorrida em 2015, trouxe o desafio de usar o Tecnossolo (tipo de solo) formado pela deposição do rejeito de mineração de ferro nas margens do Rio Doce para agricultura. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi obter a lâmina de água para otimizar a produção da forragem tropical Megathyrsus maximum cv.

ABSTRACT The collapse of the Fundão Dam in Mariana, MG, in 2015 introduced the challenge of using Technosol, a soil type formed by deposition of iron mining waste along the Doce River banks, for agricultural purposes. This study aimed to determine the optimal water depth for enhancing production of tropical forage, Megathyrsus maximus cv. Mombasa, when grown on iron ore tailings. Additionally, it sought to establish a crop coefficient applicable to the edaphoclimatic conditions of Viçosa, MG, Brazil. The experiment was conducted throughout the summer, fall, and winter of 2022, employing 21 drainage lysimeters. A completely randomized experimental design was adopted, featuring six treatment groups (plants in Technosol receiving water depths ranging from 20 to 120% of the crop’s evapotranspiration, as derived from the control treatment), along with a control group (plants in Latosol with a depth of 100%), each with three repetitions. Our findings showed that irrigation must replace 40% of the crop evapotranspiration. Moreover, cultivating in Technosol resulted in a reduction of productive capacity by 37.39% during the summer/fall and fall seasons. For Mombasa grass grown in Oxisol, crop coefficients of 1.2 during the summer and 1.5 during the fall and winter are advised.

Reuse made by the separation of whey can reduce the waste of human milk. However, the authors are not aware of the literature on treatments in human whey, made available by pasteurization holder, freeze-drying, spray drying, and high hydrostatic pressure. In this context, the present study applied treatments to human whey and evaluated their lipid and immunological quality. Among the results, a different formation in the triacylglycerol profile was evidenced after the application of spray drying and high hydrostatic pressure, while pasteurization and freeze-drying presented ion intensity close to the control human whey. In addition, pasteurization proved to be adequate for lipid nutritional quality and transformation factor-β1 (TGF-β1) concentration, while an increase in interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels was promoted, between 73 and 80%, after freeze-drying, spray drying, and high hydrostatic pressure. Through the principal component analysis, it is noteworthy that the processes presented divergences in terms of the effects caused, with similarity only between pasteurization and freeze-drying in the composition of fatty acids. However, it was observed that all processes were able to maintain the nutrients. Nevertheless, it is relevant to consider individual characteristics presented and the interest in the desired quality, which can be promising as a complementary product to infant feeding. milk However holder freezedrying, freezedrying freeze pressure context results addition factorβ1 factorβ factor β1 β factor-β TGFβ1 TGFβ TGF (TGF-β1 concentration interleukin10 interleukin 10 interleukin-1 IL10 IL (IL-10 promoted 7 80 80% analysis caused acids nutrients Nevertheless feeding (TGF-β interleukin1 1 interleukin- IL1 (IL-1 8 (IL- (IL

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Stroke is a major cause of mortality worldwide. Renal dysfunction is an important risk factor for stroke. Brazilian studies on stroke knowledge are generally population based. Studies stratifying stroke knowledge according to comorbidities are rare. Scientific data are essential to guide the awareness of stroke. OBJECTIVE: To assess stroke knowledge in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional analytical study of patients with CKD on hemodialysis in north-eastern Brazil. METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire survey on stroke awareness was administered to patients with CKD on hemodialysis between April and November 2022. The chi-square test and other descriptive statistics were used. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 197 patients were included in the analysis. The Brazilian acronym for stroke was used by 53.5% of the participants. Less than 10.0% of the sample showed optimal decision-making ability regarding stroke. Of the participants, 29.9% knew at least one risk factor and one symptom; however, this was considered as having below the minimum capacity because they did not know the emergency service call number. In the analysis adjusted for income and education, females (odds ratio [OR], 0.40%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20-0.82), older patients (OR, 0.24%; 95% CI, 0.09-0.63) and having at most one comorbidity (OR, 0.48%; 95% CI, 0.23-0.98) were factors for lower levels of knowledge or ideal decision-making capacity against stroke. CONCLUSIONS: Patients on hemodialysis, especially women and older people, have little knowledge about stroke.

Resumo Este estudo avaliou a habilidade de combinação de cores e recuperação de cor de dentes não preparados ao utilizar resinas compostas de única tonalidade e uma resina composta universal em grandes restaurações. As cores das superfícies bucais e palatinas de molares foram medidas com um espectrofotômetro (CIELAB) antes de preparar cavidades esféricas (6 mm de diâmetro, 2 mm de profundidade). As cavidades foram preenchidas aleatoriamente com uma resina composta de única tonalidade (Omnichroma, Diamond One ou Vittra APS Unique) ou com uma resina composta universal (Filtek Universal). Foram realizadas medições das cores das cavidades restauradas e calculadas as diferenças de cor globais (ΔEab and ΔE00)) e as diferenças no índice de clareamento para odontologia (ΔWID) em relação à cor inicial. Além disso, foram realizadas avaliações visuais da correspondência de cor com o esmalte circundante por quarenta avaliadores (leigos e estudantes de odontologia) em uma cabine de visualização sob iluminante D65, com pontuações de 0 (nenhuma discrepância de cor) a 4 (não aceitável). Os dados foram analisados usando RM ou ANOVA unidirecional (α = 0,05). Os resultados mostraram que as restaurações geralmente apresentavam cores mais brancas (WID variou de 27,9 a 41,3) do que os dentes não preparados (WID variou de 15,9 a 19,3). A resina composta Filtek Universal demonstrou a menor discrepância de cor (ΔWID = 8,6; ΔE00 = 10,8; and ΔE00 = 6,2), e não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre as resinas compostas de única tonalidade avaliadas. Além disso, todas as resinas compostas apresentaram correspondência de cor similar e adequada com o esmalte circundante. No entanto, é importante observar que, apesar de sua capacidade de corresponder razoavelmente com o esmalte circundante, nenhuma das resinas compostas avaliadas em grandes restaurações recuperou completamente a cor observada nos dentes não preparados.

Abstract This study assessed the color-matching ability and color recovery of unprepared teeth when using single-shade composites and a universal composite in large restorations. Buccal and palatine surface colors of molars were measured with a spectrophotometer (CIELAB) before preparing round cavities (6 mm in diameter, 2 mm in depth). The cavities were randomly filled with a single-shade composite (Omnichroma, Diamond One, or Vittra APS Unique) or a universal composite (Filtek Universal). Color measurements of the restored cavities were taken, and overall color differences (ΔEab and ΔE00) and differences in the whitening index for dentistry (ΔWID) from baseline were calculated. Additionally, visual assessments of a color match to the surrounding enamel were performed by forty evaluators (laypersons and undergraduate students of dentistry) in a viewing booth under illuminant D65, with rating scores from 0 (no color mismatch) to 4 (not acceptable). Data were analyzed using RM or one-way ANOVA (α = 0.05). Results showed that the restorations generally exhibited whiter colors (WID ranged from 27.9 to 41.3) than the unprepared teeth (WID ranged from 15.9 to 19.3). The composite Filtek Universal demonstrated the lowest color discrepancy (ΔWID = 8.6; ΔE00 = 10.8; and ΔE00 = 6.2), and no significant differences were observed among the evaluated single-shade composites. Furthermore, all composites showed similar and adequate color matches to the surrounding enamel. However, it is important to note that despite their ability to match the surrounding enamel reasonably, none of the composites evaluated in large restorations fully recovered the color observed in unprepared teeth. colormatching matching singleshade single shade CIELAB (CIELAB 6 ( diameter depth. depth . depth) Omnichroma, Omnichroma (Omnichroma One Unique Universal.

Resumo Ensaios pré-clínicos demonstraram que uma biomembrana composta de álcool polivinílico a 1%, contendo proteínas de látex (10%) obtidas da planta medicinal Calotropis procera (Aiton) era biocompatível e estimulava a cicatrização de feridas incisionais e excisionais em modelos murinos, e aspectos mecanísticos foram estabelecidos. No estudo atual, foi investigada a eficácia da biomembrana (BioMemCpLP) em promover a cicatrização de úlceras crônicas em pacientes acometidos de hanseníase. O estudo foi iniciado com 28 voluntários. Cinco foram excluídos, posteriormente, por diferentes desconformidades. Úlceras de 15 pacientes foram tratadas continuamente com BioMemCpLP durante 56 dias. Outros cinco pacientes foram tratados apenas com sulfadiazina de prata e mais três pacientes receberam curativos simples de hidrocoloide com alta capacidade de absorção. Em todos os casos, os curativos foram renovados três vezes por semana e as úlceras foram avaliadas semanalmente quanto à contração e ao progresso da cicatrização, durante 56 dias. A extensão da área cicatrizada, nas úlceras tratadas com BioMemCpLP, foi maior do que nos dois grupos controles. Aproximadamente 88% das úlceras tratadas com BioMemCpLP foram totalmente curadas, antes do dia 56 de tratamento, contra 6% em ambos os grupos de controle. Esse resultado não foi correlacionado com idade/sexo, tempo de lesão ou localização das úlceras, deformidade ou se o paciente alcançou ou não a cura da hanseníase. Os resultados mostraram que a BioMemCpLP foi benéfica no tratamento de úlceras sofridas por pacientes com hanseníase, sem efeitos colaterais perceptíveis. préclínicos pré clínicos 1 1% 10% 10 (10% Aiton (Aiton murinos estabelecidos atual (BioMemCpLP hanseníase 2 voluntários excluídos posteriormente desconformidades 5 dias absorção casos cicatrizada controles 88 curadas 6 controle idadesexo idade sexo idade/sexo perceptíveis (10 8 (1 (

Abstract Pre-clinical assays demonstrated that a 1% polyvinyl alcohol biomembrane containing latex proteins (10%) from the medicinal plant Calotropis procera was biocompatible and stimulated healing of incisional and excisional wounds in murine models, and the mechanistic aspects were established. The efficacy of the biomembrane (BioMemCpLP) to promote healing of chronic ulcers in leprosy patients was investigated. The study started with 28 volunteers. Five were excluded later due to different disconformities. Ulcers from 15 patients were continuously treated with BioMemCpLP for 56 days. Five patients were treated only with silver sulfadiazine and three patients received plain hydrocolloid wound dressings with high absorption capacity. In all cases, wound dressings were renewed three times a week for 56 days and ulcers were evaluated weekly for contraction and healing progress. The extent of the healed area in the ulcers treated with BioMemCpLP was greater than in the control groups. Approximately 88% of ulcers treated with BioMemCpLP were fully healed before day 56, against 6% in both control groups. This result was not correlated with age/gender, duration or location of ulcers, deformity or whether or not the patient was cured of leprosy. The results showed that BioMemCpLP was beneficial for treatment of ulcers suffered by leprosy patients without noticeable side effects.

Resumo A biodiversidade global encontra-se sob ameaça substancial devido às invasões biológicas, um problema agravado pelas mudanças climáticas. Tais invasões têm efeitos prejudiciais sobre o meio ambiente, economia e saúde humana, resultando em encargos financeiros significativos. Recentemente, a compreensão desses desafios se tornou prioridade destacada na comunidade científica. Este estudo se concentra na avaliação do Schinus terebinthifolia, nativa da América do Sul, e sua disseminação invasiva para a América do Norte e Central, o que resultou em ampla distribuição e impacto considerável. Os principais objetivos deste estudo consistem em analisar a distribuição potencial da espécie sob cenários climáticos atuais e futuros, identificando as áreas onde seu nicho climático está se alterando. A coleta abrangeu um vasto conjunto de mais de 30.000 registros de ocorrências da espécie, nas bases de bados (1) Global Biodiversity Information Facility com 22.163 registros (GBIF), (2) O Herbário virtual Reflora com 1.438 registros e o NeoTropTree com 6.591 registros e após um processo de filtragem, 992 ocorrências foram consideradas para modelagem. Nesse processo, empregamos dados climáticos e projeções climáticas, recorrendo a diversos algoritmos, com destaque para a metodologia do modelo de consenso. Os resultados da pesquisa revelam uma clara tendência de redução na adequação do habitat da S. terebinthifolia, especialmente sob cenários de elevado aquecimento global. Isso acentua a urgência da implementação de medidas de controle de emissões e estratégias de mitigação. Adicionalmente, o estudo ressalta a importância crucial da vigilância contínua, bem como das ações de controle e restauração de ecossistemas afetados. O papel relevante desempenhado por S. terebinthifolia em suas áreas nativas e invadidas chama a atenção para a necessidade de adotar abordagens de manejo abrangentes. Diante do cenário de mudanças climáticas e das ameaças à biodiversidade, este estudo contribui com perspicazes observações sobre a dinâmica das invasões biológicas. O sucesso na abordagem dessas questões depende de uma cooperação estreita entre a comunidade científica, legisladores, gestores de terras e as comunidades locais. Essa colaboração é essencial para orientar e conduzir os esforços de conservação e gestão da biodiversidade em um mundo em constante evolução. encontrase encontra biológicas ambiente humana significativos Recentemente científica Sul Central considerável futuros alterando 30000 30 000 30.00 1 (1 22163 22 163 22.16 GBIF, GBIF , (GBIF) 2 (2 1438 438 1.43 6591 6 591 6.59 filtragem 99 modelagem algoritmos consenso S mitigação Adicionalmente contínua afetados abrangentes legisladores locais evolução 3000 3 00 30.0 ( 2216 16 22.1 (GBIF 143 43 1.4 659 59 6.5 9 300 0 30. 221 22. 14 4 1. 65 5 6.

Abstract Global biodiversity is under substantial threat due to biological invasions, a problem exacerbated by climate change. Such invasions have detrimental effects on the environment, economy, and human health, resulting in significant financial burdens. Recently, understanding these challenges has become a highlighted priority within the scientific community. This study focuses on the evaluation of Schinus terebinthifolia, native to South America, and its invasive spread into North and Central America, which has resulted in wide distribution and considerable impact. The primary objectives of this study include analyzing the potential distribution of the species under current and future climate scenarios, identifying the areas where its climatic niche is changing. Data collection encompassed a vast dataset of over 30,000 occurrence records of this species, from the following databases: (1) The Global Biodiversity Information Facility provided 22,163 records (GBIF), (2) The virtual Herbarium Reflora contributed 1,438 records, and NeoTropTree made available 6,591 records. Following a rigorous filtering process, 992 occurrences were considered for modeling. In this process, we utilized climate data and climate projections, employing various algorithms, with an emphasis on the consensus model methodology. The research results reveal a clear trend of reduced habitat suitability for S. terebinthifolia, especially under scenarios of high global warming. This accentuates the urgency of implementing emission control measures and mitigation strategies. Additionally, the study underscores the crucial importance of continuous monitoring, as well as actions for controlling and restoring affected ecosystems. The significant role played by S. terebinthifolia in both its native and invaded areas highlights the need for comprehensive management approaches. In the face of climate change and biodiversity threats, this study provides insightful observations on the dynamics of biological invasions. Success in addressing these issues relies on close cooperation between the scientific community, policymakers, land managers, and local communities. This collaboration is essential for guiding and conducting conservation and biodiversity management efforts in an ever-evolving world. environment economy health burdens Recently community America impact changing 30000 30 000 30,00 databases 1 (1 22163 22 163 22,16 GBIF, GBIF , (GBIF) 2 (2 1438 438 1,43 6591 6 591 6,59 process 99 modeling projections algorithms methodology S warming strategies Additionally monitoring ecosystems approaches threats policymakers managers communities everevolving ever evolving world 3000 3 00 30,0 ( 2216 16 22,1 (GBIF 143 43 1,4 659 59 6,5 9 300 0 30, 221 22, 14 4 1, 65 5 6,

Resumo O estresse salino causa distúrbios fisiológicos e bioquímicos que prejudicam o crescimento vegetal. Entretanto, acredita-se que a fertilização mineral adequada pode melhorar o estado nutricional e reduzir os danos causados pelo estresse salino. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os impactos de diferentes combinações de fertilização com nitrogênio, fosforo e potássio sobre o acúmulo de solutos (orgânicos e inorgânicos) e atividade antioxidante em folhas de aceroleira cultivada sob estresse salino no segundo ano de produção. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados com os tratamentos distribuídos em esquema fatorial 10 × 2, correspondendo a 10 combinações de adubação (FC) com nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio (FC1: 80-100-100%; FC2:100-100-100%; FC3:120-100-100%; FC4:140-100-100%; FC5:100-80-100%; FC6:100-120-100%; FC7:100-140-100%; FC8:100-100-80%; FC9:100-100-120% e FC10:100-100-140% da recomendação, referente ao segundo ano de cultivo) e dois níveis de condutividade elétrica da água (ECw) utilizada na irrigação (0,6 e 4,0 dS m-1), com três repetições. A análise multivariada mostrou que irrigação com água de diferentes condutividades elétricas (0,6 e 4,0 dS m-1) apresentou processos distintos em relação à atividade enzimática, produção de compostos orgânicos e acúmulo de solutos inorgânicos nas folhas. Sob irrigação com água de baixa salinidade houve maior acúmulo de K+, carboidratos solúveis e prolina, e menor atividade de enzimas antioxidativas, especialmente SOD e APX. Sob alta salinidade se observou maior atividade enzimática e maiores concentrações de Na+ e Cl-. Os resultados indicam que a resposta da acerola à salinidade foi mais no sentido da homeostase redox do que da homeostase osmótica por meio do acúmulo de solutos compatíveis com o metabolismo.

Abstract Salt stress causes several physiological and biochemical disorders and impairs plant growth. However, adequate fertilization can improve the nutritional status and may reduce significantly the harmful effects caused by salt stress. From this perspective, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of different combinations of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilization on the antioxidant activity and accumulation of organic and inorganic solutes in West Indian cherry leaves, in the second year of production. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with treatments distributed in a 10 × 2 factorial arrangement corresponding to ten fertilization combinations (FC) of NPK (FC1: 80-100-100%, FC2:100-100-100%, FC3:120-100-100%, FC4:140-100-100%, FC5:100-80-100%, FC6:100-120-100%, FC7:100-140-100%, FC8:100-100-80%, FC9:100-100-120%, and FC10:100-100-140% of the recommendation) and two levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (ECw) (0.6 and 4.0 dS m-1), with three replications. The multivariate analysis showed that irrigation with water of different electrical conductivities (0.6 and 4.0 dS m-1) resulted in different responses concerning the enzyme activity, production of organic compounds, and accumulation of inorganic solutes in the leaves. Under irrigation with low salinity water, there was greater accumulation of K+, soluble carbohydrates, and proline, and lower activity of antioxidative enzymes, especially SOD and APX. Under high salinity water, greater enzyme activity and higher concentrations of Na+ and Cl- were observed. The results indicate that the response of West Indian cherry to salinity was more towards redox homeostasis than osmotic homeostasis through the accumulation of compatible solutes. Fertilization combination FC5 (100-80-100% corresponding to 200, 24 and 80 g plant-1 of NPK) modulates the enzyme activity of SOD and APX attenuating the impacts of salinity, being an efficient combination to preserve redox homeostasis in West Indian cherry plants grown under salt stress. growth However perspective nitrogen leaves blocks 1 FC (FC FC1 (FC1 80100100%, 80100100 100 100%, 80-100-100% FC2100100100%, FC2100100100 FC2 FC2:100-100-100% FC3120100100%, FC3120100100 FC3 120 FC3:120-100-100% FC4140100100%, FC4140100100 FC4 140 FC4:140-100-100% FC510080100%, FC510080100 FC5:100-80-100% FC6100120100%, FC6100120100 FC6 FC6:100-120-100% FC7100140100%, FC7100140100 FC7 FC7:100-140-100% FC810010080%, FC810010080 FC8 80%, FC8:100-100-80% FC9100100120%, FC9100100120 FC9 120%, FC9:100-100-120% FC10100100140% FC10100100140 FC10 140% FC10:100-100-140 recommendation ECw (ECw 0.6 06 0 6 (0. 40 4 4. m1, m1 m , replications m-1 compounds K K+ carbohydrates proline enzymes Na Cl observed 10080100% 10080100 100% (100-80-100 200 8 plant1 plant- 80100100% 8010010 80-100-100 FC2100100100% FC210010010 FC2:100-100-100 FC3120100100% FC312010010 12 FC3:120-100-100 FC4140100100% FC414010010 14 FC4:140-100-100 FC510080100% FC51008010 FC5:100-80-100 FC6100120100% FC610012010 FC6:100-120-100 FC7100140100% FC710014010 FC7:100-140-100 FC810010080% FC81001008 80% FC8:100-100-80 FC9100100120% FC910010012 120% FC9:100-100-120 FC1010010014 FC10:100-100-14 0.

ABSTRACT Taxonomic data about Brazilian hydraenids are currently available open access at the Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna (Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil - CTFB) website, an online database with taxonomic information on the animal species occurring in Brazil. Based on taxonomic contributions published until September 2023, a total of 34 valid Hydraenidae species have been recorded from Brazil, 27 (79%) of which are endemic. Foreign authors have dominated the description of Brazilian Hydraenidae species (eight out of 10), and Dr. P.D. Perkins from the United States has authored the highest number of species described from Brazil (20). While the primary type specimens of species described from Brazil are predominantly deposited in non-Brazilian institutions (65%), the collection of Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, has the most Hydraenidae type species (11) in the country. So far, Hydraenidae have been recorded in 19 Brazilian states. The two states with the highest hydraenid biodiversity are Minas Gerais and Bahia, with 12 and seven species, respectively. Species distribution by Brazilian biomes reveals that the Atlantic Forest is the most diverse, with 24 species (21 endemic), followed by the Amazon rainforest, with nine species (five endemic). In this study we also analyzed the potential distribution of the four Hydraenidae genera occurring in Brazil using ecological niche modeling. Our results indicate that Hydraena Kugelann, 1794 and Ochthebius Leach, 1815 have a wide potential distribution, covering a large part of the country. Otherwise, Adelphydraena Perkins, 1989 would be restricted to the Amazon and Parhydraenida J. Balfour-Browne, 1975 to the mountains of the Brazilian Shield. The knowledge on the Brazilian hydraenid fauna is still very poor: There are significant knowledge gaps, and many areas have been under-sampled. This deficiency should be addressed in future studies.

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula is undergoing rapid climate changes, impacting its surrounding marine ecosystem. At that site, sea ice plays a crucial role in this ecosystem by serving as a habitat for organisms and influencing primary productivity. Studying sea ice variability and primary productivity is essential for understanding environmental changes in Antarctica. This research focused on Joinville Island, located at the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, where meteorological data and glaciochemical analysis were conducted on snow/firn cores for Cl-, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, SO4 2-, NO3 -, K+, MSA, NH4 + and F- to retrieve recent past environmental variabilities. The study revealed that Joinville Island experienced a net accumulation rate of 0.40 meters per year in water equivalent between 1993 and 2005. In snow/firn cores, Na+ correlated with both wind strength and sea ice extent (r=0.59 and r=0.66, respectively) while correlations were higher for MSA and Cl- with respect to sea ice (r=0.80 and r=0.74, respectively), considering both the Weddell and Amundsen-Bellingshausen sub-sectors. This analysis contributes to our understanding of sea ice dynamics and its influence on primary productivity in the area. site Antarctica snowfirn snow firn Cl, Cl , Na Ca2 Ca Ca2+ Mg2 Mg Mg2+ SO 2, 2 2- NO - K K+ NH F variabilities 040 0 40 0.4 199 2005 r=0.59 r059 r 59 (r=0.5 r066 66 r=0.66 respectively r=0.80 r080 80 (r=0.8 r074 74 r=0.74 respectively, AmundsenBellingshausen Amundsen Bellingshausen subsectors. subsectors sub sectors. sectors sub-sectors area 04 4 0. 19 200 r=0.5 r05 5 (r=0. r06 6 r=0.6 r=0.8 r08 8 r07 7 r=0.7 1 20 r=0. r0 (r=0 r=0 (r= r= (r
