<p>O objetivo com este trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de grupo genético (GGen) e de ordem de parto (OrdP) de 400 matrizes suínas sobre características produtivas e reprodutivas. Utilizou-se três GGen (GGen1, GGen2 e GGen3) e duas OrdP (OrdP1 e OrdP2). As variáveis dependentes avaliadas foram peso médio da leitegada ao nascimento (PMNasc), peso médio da leitegada ao desmame (PMDesm), tamanho da leitegada ao nascimento (TNasc), tamanho da leitegada ao desmame (TDesm), duração da lactação (DL), número de partos/fêmea/ano (P/F/A), número de leitões desmamados/fêmea/ano (D/F/A), ganho de peso diário do leitão (GPD), ganho de peso diário da leitegada (GPDLeit), intervalo desmame-cio (IDC), média de dias não produtivos (MDNP) e número de serviços por concepção (NSPC). A interação entre GGene OrdPfoi significativa para PMDesm, DL, P/F/A, GPD, IDC e MDNP. Para as demais variáveis (PMNasc, TNasc, TDesm e D/F/A) não ocorreu interação nem efeito de GGen e OrdP. Houve efeito do GGen independente da OrdP nas variáveis GPDLeit e do NSPC. O GGen 3 foi considerado superior, uma vez que este apresentou melhor desempenho em relação aos demais na maioria das características avaliadas. Não foi possível determinar a melhor OrdP, pois esta variou em função dos GGen e das variáveis dependentes.</p>

<p>The objective of this paper was toevaluate the effect of genetic group (GG) and parity order (PO) of 400 sows on productive and reproductive traits. Were used three GG (GG1, GG2 and GG3) and two PO (PO1 and PO2). The dependent variables evaluated were litter weight at birth (LWB), litter weight at weaning (LWW), litter size at birth (LSB), litter size at weaning (LSW), lactation length (LL), number of litters/female / year (L/F/Y), number of piglets weaned / female / year (P/W/F), daily weight gain of each piglet (DWG), average daily gain of piglets (ADGP), weaning to estrus interval (WEI), average non-productive days (ANP) and number of services per conception (NSPC). The interaction between GG and PO was significant for LWW, LL, L/F/Y, DWG, WEI e ANP. For the other variables (LWB, LSB, LSW and P/W/F) no interaction or effect of GG and PO was observed. There was effect of GG independent of PO in the variables except ADGP and NSPC. The GG 3 was considered superior, since it showed better performance in relation to others in most of characteristics evaluated. It was not possible to determine the best PO, because this varied according to GG and the dependents variables.</p>

Background: In 2001, the Brazilian Ministry of Health added hemoglobinopathies to the National Neonatal Screening Program to be implemented in three steps. In order to meet the proposed goals, it is crucial to establish periodic assessments of this program with the aim of monitoring its implementation. Objective: To assess the scope and the efficiency of the stages of the National Newborn Screening Program in identifying hemoglobin S. Methods: A cross-sectional study was developed with the results of the heel prick test using the high performance liquid chromatography method for babies born in Mato Grosso do Sul from 2006 to 2010. The following variables were investigated: year, number of live births, total screening, coverage ratio, prevalence, time between the child birth and the blood collection; age at diagnosis; age at the time of the first consultation; and time between the diagnosis and the first appointment. Results: Over the five years of the study, the mean coverage rate was 91.77%.The prevalences of hemoglobin FAS and hemoglobin FS were 1.65% and 0.011%, respectively. Blood samples from 43.48% of children were collected from the second to the seventh day. The age at diagnosis was within the first 28 days in 87.80% of the screened children. The lowest mean indices for the first consultation and the time between the diagnosis and the first appointment (58.8 and 46.4 days, respectively) occurred in 2010. Conclusions: The scope of the National Neonatal Screening Program for hemoglobinopathies is good, with a large number of individuals being tested. Efficiency is a suitable indicator to assess the program steps. Three points are recommended: the training of the individuals involved, studies to assess the assistance provided to the affected child, and genetic counseling to the mothers.

Com o objetivo de caracterizar epidemiologicamente o pênfigo foliáceo endêmico, investigaram-se 307 casos. A patologia predominou no trabalhador rural na faixa de 10 a 42 anos. Verificou-se maior incidência em dezembro, janeiro, fevereiro, março e maio (média de 30,7 casos anuais). Os achados evidenciaram um corredor coincidindo com o divisor de águas do estado.

307 cases were examined to characterize epidemiological aspects of endemic pemphigus foliaceus. The disease was predominantly identified in rural workers between 10 and 42 years old. Incidence was higher in the December, January, February, March and May (average: 30.7 cases/year). Our findings identified a corridor, coinciding with the state watershed.

Este estudio identificó a 307 casos para caracterizar epidemiológicamente pénfigo foliáceo endémico. La enfermedad predominó en trabajadores rurales, con edad entre 10 y 42 años. Los niveles de incidencia fueron mayores en Diciembre, Enero, Febrero, Marzo y Mayo, con un promedio de 30,7 casos anuales. Los hallazgos mostraron un corredor, coincidiendo con el divisor de agua del Estado.
