Abstract Objective: To analyze gastroschisis annual incidence, mortality rates, and trends in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul from the year 2000 to the year 2017. Method: Population-based study with the analysis of the temporal trend of gastroschisis annual incidence and mortality rates. Data were obtained from the Live Birth Information System and the Mortality Information System, with the analysis performed by polynomial regression modeling. Results: There were 2,612,532 live births, 705 hospitalizations, and 233 deaths due to gastroschisis. The annual incidence of gastroschisis was 2.69 per 10,000 live births. The annual incidence rate increased by 85% in the total period (p = 0.003), and mortality was 33% in the 2000-2017 period. Maternal age < 25 years was a risk factor for gastroschisis (p < 0.001). Children were more likely to be born weighing < 2,500 g (p < 0.001) and with a gestational age < 37 weeks (p < 0.001). The annual incidence trend was to increase, and the mortality trend was to decrease. Conclusion: Similar to what has been described in several regions/countries, there was a trend showing an 85% increase in the annual incidence of gastroschisis (p = 0.003) and the mortality was 33% with a trend of decreasing (p = 0.002).

ABSTRACT Little is known about the interaction between the inoculation of diazotrophic bacteria, the variety, and the substrate used in inoculated sugarcane seedling production. Bearing this in mind, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diazotrophic bacteria inoculation, four sugarcane varieties and four different substrates on the growth and nitrogen accumulation of sugarcane seedlings. Parameters related to sprouting, height, and root growth, as well as nitrogen accumulation, were evaluated. The results indicate that inoculating sugarcane seedlings belonging to the following varieties: RB867515, RB92579, RB966928 and RB975932 with bacteria may increase sprouting speed index, height, root length, fresh and dry matter weight, as well as nitrogen accumulation, which has resulted in a more uniform stem diameter. However, the responses to inoculation differ from variety to variety and are also dependent on the substrate used with better results observed in the commercial substrate and the substrate mixtures containing a higher proportion of organic compost. Understanding the interaction between the variety and the substrate with the bacterial inoculation is essential to the success of the production of inoculated sugarcane seedlings.

O presente estudo teve como objetivos avaliar e comparar o desenvolvimento de crianças hospitalizadas, antes e após intervenções de Arteterapia. Esta pesquisa descritiva-exploratória realizou-se por meio de estudos de caso de fundo qualitativo, baseados na avaliação desenvolvimental de crianças. A pesquisa contou com cinco participantes na faixa etária entre sete e dez anos, no Hospital de Doenças Tropicais (HDT) de Goiânia, Goiás, em 2006. Seus resultados mostraram que as intervenções de Arteterapia foram eficazes na promoção do desenvolvimento infantil. Concluiu-se, então, que a Arteterapia constitui-se num meio para canalizar, de maneira positiva, as variáveis do desenvolvimento da criança hospitalizada e neutralizar os fatores de ordem afetiva que, naturalmente, surgem, além de expor os potenciais mais saudáveis da criança, por vezes pouco estimulados no contexto da hospitalização.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the development of hospitalized children before and after art therapy interventions. Qualitative case studies were undertaken in this descriptive-exploratory research, based on the developmental evaluation of the children. The study participants were five children between seven and ten years old, in the Hospital of Tropical Illnesses (HDT) in the city of Goiânia, state of Goiás, Brazil, in 2006. Results showed that art therapy interventions efficiently promoted children’s development. Art therapy is a resource for positively channeling the variables of hospitalized children’s development and for neutralizing affective factors that naturally appear, as well as for exposing the child’s healthier potentials, which sometimes receive little stimulus in the context of hospitalization.

Las finalidades de este estudio fueron las de evaluar y comparar el desarrollo de niños hospitalizados, antes y después de intervenciones de Arteterapia. Esta investigación descriptiva-exploratoria nos permitió realizar estudios de caso cualitativos, basados en la evaluación del desarrollo de niños. Participaron del estudio cinco participantes con edad entre siete y diez años, en el Hospital de Enfermedades Tropicales (HDT) de Goiânia, Goiás, Brasil, en 2006. Los resultados mostraron que las intervenciones de Arteterapia fueron eficaces en la promoción del desarrollo infantil. Se concluye que la Arteterapia es un recurso para canalizar, de manera positiva, las variables del desarrollo del niño hospitalizado y neutralizar los factores de orden afectivo que, naturalmente, surgen, además de exponer los potenciales más sanos del niño, por veces poco estimulados en el contexto de la hospitalización.
