ABSTRACT An integrative review was conducted to identify which intercrops, composed of grasses from tropical or temperate climates, are most commonly used in ruminant feeding and which result in higher productivity. The review followed a developed and tested protocol according to the PVO strategy to formulate the guiding question. Data were collected from articles published in the electronic databases SCOPUS (Elsevier), Web of Science (Main Collection), and SciELO Citation Index (Web of Science) through a single cross-reference search. It was not carried out temporally, regionally, nor limited to Brazil. Among the selected studies, the genera found were Lolium (26.7%), Avena (26.7%), Brachiaria (20.0%), Cynodon (13.4%), Panicum (6.6%), and Sorghum (6.6%). The technologies adopted in the articles were target height (50.0%), reseeding (33.3%), and defoliation intensity (16.7%). The animal species used were beef cattle, dairy cattle, and goats - 50.0%, 33.3%, and 16.7%, respectively. It was possible to observe that the use of different cultivars yields positive results; this was most evident with the grasses most used in intercropping: ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam) and black oats (Avena strigosa Schreb); which showed higher productivity values compared to monoculture. intercrops climates question Elsevier, Elsevier , (Elsevier) Main Collection, Collection Collection) crossreference cross reference search temporally regionally Brazil studies 26.7%, 267 26.7% 26 7 (26.7%) 20.0%, 200 20.0% 20 0 (20.0%) 13.4%, 134 13.4% 13 4 (13.4%) 6.6%, 66 6.6% 6 (6.6%) 6.6%. . 500 50.0% 50 (50.0%) 333 33.3% 33 3 (33.3%) 16.7%. 167 16.7% 16 (16.7%) cattle respectively results intercropping Lam Schreb Schreb) monoculture (Elsevier 26.7 2 (26.7% 20.0 (20.0% 13.4 1 (13.4% 6.6 (6.6% 50.0 5 (50.0% 33.3 (33.3% 16.7 (16.7% 26.

RESUMO Com o objetivo identificar quais consórcios compostos por gramíneas de clima tropical ou temperado são mais utilizados na alimentação de ruminantes e quais resultam em maior produtividade, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa. A revisão seguiu um protocolo desenvolvido e testado de acordo com a estratégia PVO, para formular a pergunta orientadora. Os dados foram coletados em artigos publicados nas bases de dados eletrônicos SCOPUS (Elsevier), Web of Science (Coleção Principal) e SciELO Citation Index (Web of Science), por meio de uma única busca cruzada de referências. Não foi utilizado corte temporal, regional nem limitado ao Brasil. Entre os estudos selecionados, os gêneros encontrados foram Lolium (26,7%), Avena (26,7%), Brachiaria (20,0%), Cynodon (13,4%), Panicum (6,6%) e Sorghum (6,6%). As tecnologias adotadas nos artigos foram metas de altura (50,0%), ressemeadura (33,3%) e intensidade de desfolhamento (16,7%). As espécies animais utilizadas foram bovinos de corte, bovinos leiteiros e cabras - 50,0%, 33,3% e 16,7%, respectivamente. Foi possível verificar que o uso de diferentes cultivares promove resultados positivos; isso foi mais evidente com as gramíneas mais utilizadas no consórcio: azevém (Lolium multiflorum Lam) e a aveia-preta (Avena strigosa Schreb), que apresentaram valores de produtividade mais altos em comparação ao monocultivo. integrativa PVO orientadora Elsevier, Elsevier , (Elsevier) Coleção Principal Science, Science) referências temporal Brasil selecionados 26,7%, 267 26,7% 26 7 (26,7%) 20,0%, 200 20,0% 20 0 (20,0%) 13,4%, 134 13,4% 13 4 (13,4%) 6,6% 66 6 (6,6% 6,6%. . 500 50,0% 50 (50,0%) 333 33 3 (33,3% 16,7%. 167 16,7% 16 (16,7%) 33,3 respectivamente positivos consórcio Lam aveiapreta aveia preta Schreb, Schreb Schreb) monocultivo (Elsevier 26,7 2 (26,7% 20,0 (20,0% 13,4 1 (13,4% 6,6 (6,6 50,0 5 (50,0% (33,3 16,7 (16,7% 33, 26, (26,7 20, (20,0 13, (13,4 6, (6, 50, (50,0 (33, 16, (16,7 (26, (20, (13, (6 (50, (33 (16, (26 (20 (13 ( (50 (3 (16 (2 (1 (5

Abstract Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most important cause of mortality in Latin America, while peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the third leading cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular morbidity. Objective: To establish the prevalence of PAD and the distribution of traditional CVD risk factors in a population from the Department of Cauca, Colombia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 10,000 subjects aged ≥40 years, from 36 municipalities. An ankle-brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.9 in either leg was used as diagnostic criterion of PAD. Results: Overall PAD prevalence was 4.4% (4.7% females vs. 4.0% males), with diabetes being the most prevalent risk factor (23%). Among individuals self-reporting a history of acute myocardial infarction or stroke, PAD prevalence was 31.0% and 8.1%, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, PAD was significantly associated with hypertension (OR 4.6; 95% CI; 3.42-6.20), diabetes (4.3; 3.17-5.75), dyslipidaemia (3.1; 2.50-3.88), obesity (1.8; 1.37-2.30), and cigarette smoking (1.6; 1.26-1.94). Analysis for the interaction of risk factors showed that diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and obesity accounted for 13.2 times the risk for PAD (6.9-25.4), and when adding hypertension to the model, the risk effect was the highest (17.2; 8.4-35.1). Conclusions: Hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and obesity, but not smoking were strong predictors of PAD. ABI measurement should be routinely performed as a screening test in intermediate and high-risk patients for CVD prevention. This could lead to an early intervention and follow-up on populations at risk, thus, contributing to improve strategies for reducing CVD burden. © 2017 Published by Masson Doyma México S.A. on behalf of Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez.

Resumen Antecedentes: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) son la causa más importante de mortalidad en América Latina, mientras que la enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP) es la tercera causa de morbilidad cardiovascular aterosclerótica. Objetivos: Establecer la prevalencia de la EAP y la distribución de factores de riesgo tradicionales para ECV en una población del departamento del Cauca, Colombia. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en un total de 10,000 sujetos ≥ 40 años de 36 municipios. Un índice tobillo-brazo ≤ 0.9 en cualquiera de las piernas fue utilizado como criterio de diagnóstico para EAP. Resultados: La prevalencia de EAP fue del 4.4% (4.7% en mujeres vs. 4% en hombres), siendo la diabetes el factor de riesgo más prevalente (23%). Entre los individuos con autorreporte de infarto agudo de miocardio y accidente cerebrovascular, la prevalencia de EAP fue del 31% y 8,1%, respectivamente. Después del ajuste por potenciales factores de confusión, la EAP estuvo asociada significativamente con hipertensión (OR: 4.6; IC 95%: 3.42-6.20), diabetes (4.3; 3.17-5.75), dislipidemia (3.1; 2.50-3.88), obesidad (1.8; 1.37-2.30) y consumo de cigarrillo (1.6; 1.26-1.94). El análisis de interacción entre los factores de riesgo mostró que diabetes, dislipidemia y obesidad presentaron 13.2 veces más riesgo para EAP (6.9-25.4), y cuando se agregó hipertensión al modelo, el riesgo fue el más alto (17.2; 8.4-35.1). Conclusiones: La medición del índice tobillo-brazo debe realizarse de forma rutinaria en pacientes con riesgo intermedio/alto como prueba de cribado para la prevención de ECV, permitiendo la intervención temprana y el seguimiento de las poblaciones en situación de riesgo. © 2017 Publicado por Masson Doyma México S.A. en nombre de Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez.

Avaliou-se o efeito da substituição do feno de capim tifton pela casca de mamona, 0, 33, 66 e 100% na dieta de ovinos, sobre o peso e rendimento dos componentes não constituintes da carcaça e o rendimento de buchada e panelada. Vinte e oito animais não castrados, com sete meses de idade e peso inicial médio de 19,5±2,45kg, foram distribuídos em delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com quatro tratamentos e sete repetições, e abatidos após 70 dias de confinamento. Houve decréscimo linear nos pesos da língua (0,084 a 0,079kg), traqueia+pulmão (0,50 a 0,42kg), coração (0,14 a 0,12kg), timo (0,035 a 0,025kg), rins (0,100 a 0,088kg) e peso total dos órgãos (2,14 a 1,90kg) de acordo com o percentual de substituição. O mesmo comportamento foi verificado para os pesos do esôfago (0,051 a 0,045kg), rúmen-retículo (0,73 a 0,64kg), intestino delgado (0,78 a 0,64kg) e total de vísceras (2,17 a 1,92kg). Para os pesos da cabeça (1,99 a 1,66kg), patas (0,86 a 0,73kg), pele (2,49 a 1,99kg), sangue (1,36 a 1,19kg) e total de subprodutos (7,12 a 5,96kg) verificou-se efeito linear negativo de acordo com a substituição. O mesmo foi observado para os pesos de buchada (4,71 a 4,22kg) e panelada (7,55 a 6,61kg). A casca de mamona não deve substituir o feno de capim tifton na dieta de ovinos por causar decréscimo no peso de órgãos, vísceras e subprodutos e influenciar negativamente os pesos e rendimentos de buchada e panelada.

The effects of replacing tifton hay with 0, 33, 66 and 100% of castor bean hulls in the diet of sheep on the non-carcass components of weight and dressing and on the "buchada" and "panelada" yield were evaluated in this research. Twenty-eight non castrated sheep averaging seven months of age and with initial weight of 19.5±2.45kg were assigned to a randomized block design with four treatments and seven replicates, and were slaughtered after 70 days of confinement. A linear decrease of tongue (0.084 to 0.079kg), trachea + lungs (0.50 to 0.42kg), heart (0.14 to 0.12kg), thymus (0.035 to 0.025kg), kidneys (0.100 to 0.088kg) weights and total weight of organs (2.14 to 1.90kg) was observed. The same behavior was observed for the esophagus (0.051 to 0.045kg), rumen-reticulum (0.73 to 0.64kg), small intestine (0.78 to 0.64kg) and total viscera (2.17 to 1.92kg) weights. There was a linear effect for the head (1.99 to 1.66kg), feet (0.86 to 0.73kg), skin (2.49 to 1.99kg), blood (1.36 to 1.19kg) and total by-products (7.12 to 5.96kg) weights according to the treatments and also for "buchada" (4.71 to 4.22kg) and "panelada" (7.55 to 6.61kg) weights. Castor bean hulls should not replace tifton hay because it decreases the weight of organs, viscera and by-products and adversely affects the "buchada" and "panelada" weight and dressing.
