TL;DR: The prevalence of nosocomial infection in the two ICUs was 60.8 %, exceeding 45.3 % of the general rate registered in the Brazilian hospitals that is 15.5 %, contributing to increase the morbi -mortality caused by infections.
Abstract: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of nosocomial infection (NI) and distribution for topography and microorganism and its antimicrobial sensibility. The study was carried out in two Intensive Care Units (ICUs) of a public teaching hospital of Teresina, with sampling of 394 NI cases and processed by the SPSS Software. The respiratory infection was the biggest prevalence (61.26 %) in the General ICU. It was found a bigger bacterial sensibility to amicacine (52.48 %) in the ICU of the ER. The microorganism with bigger prevalence was Klebsiella pneumonia (35.46 %) in the general ICU. In conclusion, the prevalence of NI in the two ICUs was 60.8 %, exceeding 45.3 % of the general rate registered in the Brazilian hospitals that is 15.5 %, contributing to increase the morbi -mortality caused by infections.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of different fat supplements on intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance, milk yield and efficiency of nutrient utilization was evaluated in lactating dairy goats, and the fat supplements tested were soybean oil (SO), calcium salts of long-chain fatty acids (CS) and whole soybean (WS), which contributed with 4.5% of dietary ether extract.
Abstract: The effect of different fat supplements on intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance, milk yield and efficiency of nutrient utilization was evaluated in lactating dairy goats. Twenty-four dairy goats were assigned to a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates/treatment. The fat supplements tested were soybean oil (SO), calcium salts of long-chain fatty acids (CS) and whole soybean (WS), which contributed with 4.5% of dietary ether extract. A control diet with no added fat was also fed to the animals. Daily measurements of intake and milk yield were done from day 51 to day 138 of lactation. Intakes of DM (DMI), NDF (NDFI), TDN (TDNI), and net energy (NEI) were lower on soybean oil and whole soybean than on control and CS diets. Feeding fat supplements to lactating goats reduced digestibilities of OM, CP and TC. Digestibility of NDF was reduced by SO while that of NFC was reduced by WS. Yields of milk fat, milk protein and milk decreased when WS was fed and the feeding of all three fat supplements depressed the yield of milk lactose. No significant differences in the concentration of milk components were observed across treatments. Similarly, the net efficiency of utilization of ingested metabolizable energy for milk production (kl) did not differ among diets. The same was true for nitrogen balance and retained nitrogen.

TL;DR: A descriptive, retrospective study which aimed to characterize suicide in the municipality of Teresina, Piaui, the period of 2000-2005, in regards to the social demographic aspects, means of death and period of the act, shows a greater rate of suicide among men and a greater frequency of the youth population.
Abstract: A descriptive, retrospective study which aimed to characterize suicide in the municipality of Teresina, Piaui, the period of 2000-2005, in regards to the social demographic aspects, means of death and period (month) of the act. The results were obtained through the Institute of Legal Medicine, they show a greater rate of suicide among men (71.3%) with a greater frequency of the youth population, predominance among the single (54.9%). The occupational groups with the greatest percentage were students (23.8%). The most frequently used method was hanging (66%) followed by firearms (13.1%). The use of interventions in hopes of lowering the current rates is imperative, as suicide occupies fourth place in relation to all causes of violent deaths in the municipality.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of feeding dried cashew pulp (DCP) on performance, digestibility of nutrients, and nitrogen balance of feedlot sheep were evaluated with 20 crossbred male Santa Ines sheep.
Abstract: Twenty crossbred male Santa Ines sheep were assigned to a completely randomized block design to evaluate the effects of feeding dried cashew pulp (DCP) on performance, digestibility of nutrients, and nitrogen balance. It was also of particular interest to study the economical viability of adding DCP to diets of feedlot sheep. Diets were isonitrogenous and contained ground Tifton 85 hay (Cynodon spp), corn, soybean meal, salt, and one of the following levels of DCP: 0, 10, 20, 30 or 40%. Increasing the dietary levels of DCP had no significant effect on intakes of DM and CP and also on feed conversion. Neutral detergent fiber intake was increased while an opposite effect was observed for weight gain by adding DCP to the diets. For average daily weight gain is recommended the inclusion of 30% of DCP in the diet because of the greatest economical return rate. Inclusion of DCP in diets of finishing feedlot sheep reduced nitrogen retention and negatively affected total tract digestibilities of DM, OM, CP, NDF and ADF.

TL;DR: In this paper, the capacitance probe (Diviner 2000) was calibrated for a Rhodic Paleudult from the Piaui State, Brazil, where six access tubes were installed in a 5 × 2 m grid arrangement.
Abstract: The use of capacitance sensors is one of the methods used to quantitatively measuresoil water contents (θ, m 3 m -3 ). Sensors provide readings at desired depths and time intervals. Acapacitance probe (Diviner 2000) was calibrated for a Rhodic Paleudult from the Piaui State, Brazil. Sixaccess tubes were installed in a 5 × 2 m grid arrangement. Three moisture levels (saturated, moist anddry) were used in two replications. Probe readings and soil samplings to determine θ were made at 0.1m depth intervals down to a depth of 1.0 m. A power calibration equation was developed for eachdepth as well as for the entire soil profile (Root Mean Square Error = 0.014, R 2 = 0.93) for a θ range of0.068 to 0.264 m 3 m -3 . A separate calibration for each depth improves the correlation coefficient andminimizes RMSE. Site-specific calibration improves the accuracy for soil water monitoring.Key words: FDR probe, sensor, irrigation, soil water content CALIBRACAO DE UMA SONDA DE CAPACITÂNCIAEM UM ARGISSOLO

TL;DR: The lack of knowledge of the population of Teresina in relation to stroke reflects the need for intervention through public and professional educational campaigns.
Abstract: Knowledge of the population in regards to stroke has clinical and epidemiological importance. Prompt identification of the symptoms means efficient medical attendance within the window of therapeutic opportunities reducing significantly the morbi-mortality. Our aim was to evaluate the level of knowledge of the population of Teresina (PI) concerning factors of risk, symptoms and treatment of stroke. The door-to-door study was carried out by means of a standardized application of questionnaire on risk factors, symptoms and attitude when faced with a stroke victim. 991 forms were selected. Factors of risk more cited were hypertension identified by 416 [42.0%] and hyperlipidemia 284 [28.7%]. The most remembered symptoms were headache 277 [28.0%] and hemiplegia 219 [22.1%]. 375 (37.8%) respondents were unable to identify any risk factors and and 410 (41.4%) any symptom. The lack of knowledge of the population of Teresina in relation to stroke reflects the need for intervention through public and professional educational campaigns.

TL;DR: This is the first report of conidiobolomycosis in Brazil, which is endemic and has a high frequency in sheep in the State of Piaui, associated with high rainfalls and high temperature.
Abstract: Conidiobolomycosis is reported in 25 farms, from January 2002 to December 2004, in the state of Piaui. The disease affects only sheep, mainly in April-June. The mean morbidity rate was 2.80%, but was higher in the first semester (2.1%), during the raining period, than in the second one (0.69%), during the dry period. Morbidity rate among flocks varied from 0.1-14.3%. Case fatality rate was 100%, and the clinical manifestation period varied from 1-5 weeks. Clinical signs were serous, mucous and/or bloody nasal secretion, respiratory distress, snoring respiration, cranium-facial asymmetry, exophthalmia, fever and progressive emaciation. Marked depression, sometimes with the head down or head pressing was observed in some cases. Gross, microscopic and ultrastructural lesions and identification of the agent are reported elsewhere. This is the first report of conidiobolomycosis in Brazil, which is endemic and has a high frequency in sheep in the State of Piaui, associated with high rainfalls (1000-1600mm annually) and high temperature (19-36oC).

TL;DR: Results indicate that the TNF chromosomal region is relevant for Chagas’ disease development.
Abstract: To evaluate the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) a–e microsatellite polymorphism in Chagasic patients, we studied 162 patients stratified according to the major clinical variants (cardiac, digestive, digestive plus cardiac, and indeterminate forms) and 221 healthy controls. TNF microsatellite alleles were typed using genomic DNA amplified with specific primers. Statistical analyses were performed using the GENEPOP and ARLEQUIN softwares and the two-tailed Fisher exact test. The TNFa2, TNFa7, TNFa8, TNFb2, TNFb4, TNFd5, TNFd7, and TNFe2 alleles were overrepresented, whereas the TNFb7 and TNFd3 alleles were underrepresented when clinical variants of Chagas’ disease or the patient group as a whole were compared with controls. Twelve TNF haplotypes were associated with susceptibility to or protection against Chagas’ disease, considered as a whole or stratified into clinical variants. Many of these haplotypes encompassed the above-described susceptibility/protective alleles. These results indicate that the TNF chromosomal region is relevant for Chagas’ disease development.
TL;DR: In this article, Parkia platycephala pods in particle sizes 2 and 5mm were estimated by in situ nylon bag method in sheep, and the times of incubation were 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.
Abstract: Soluble (a) and potentially degradable (b) fractions and degradation rate of b fraction (c) of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) of Parkia platycephala pods in particle sizes 2 and 5mm were estimated by in situ nylon bag method in sheep. The times of incubation were 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, and the effective degradability (ED) was determined considering passage rates of 2, 5 and 8%/h. The a fractions for DM and CP was 69.6 and 49.9%, respectively, revealing elevated DM solubility: The b fractions for DM and CP was 24.7 and 43.9%, denoting reduced DM in situ degradation. The stabilization of the DM and CP degradation occurred at 72h and 48h after incubation, respectively. In situ degradability of constituents of P. platycephala pods, in special CP, were not depressed for their tannin contents.
TL;DR: In this article, 40 leitoes machos castrados were used for deposicao de carne magra, gordura, pernil, and lombo.
Abstract: Foram utilizados 40 leitoes machos castrados (peso inicial de 60,43 ± 1,56 kg e peso final de 95,66 ± 3,22 kg) de alto potencial genetico para deposicao de carne magra na carcaca para avaliar o efeito de niveis de lisina digestivel, utilizando-se o conceito de proteina ideal, sobre o desempenho e as caracteristicas de carcaca. Os animais foram distribuidos em delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com quatro tratamentos, cinco repeticoes e dois animais por unidade experimental. Os tratamentos consistiram de uma racao basal com 16,48% de PB, suplementada com L-lisina HCL, resultando em racoes com 0,70; 0,80; 0,90 e 1,00% de lisina digestivel. As racoes foram suplementadas com niveis crescentes de aminoacidos sinteticos, resultando em racoes com relacoes constantes entre os aminoacidos essenciais e a lisina, com base na digestibilidade verdadeira. Nao houve efeito dos niveis de lisina digestivel sobre o consumo de racao. Observou-se efeito quadratico dos tratamentos sobre o ganho de peso diario e a conversao alimentar, que aumentaram ate os niveis estimados de 0,87 e 0,93% de lisina digestivel, respectivamente. Os tratamentos afetaram de forma quadratica a concentracao de ureia no plasma dos animais, que diminuiu ate o nivel de 0,83% de lisina digestivel. Os niveis de lisina digestivel das racoes promoveram efeito linear crescente sobre o consumo diario de lisina, mas nao influenciaram o comprimento de carcaca pelo metodo brasileiro, a area de olho-de-lombo, a espessura de toucinho no ponto P2 e os rendimentos de carne magra, gordura, pernil e lombo. O rendimento de carcaca reduziu conforme diminuiram os niveis de lisina digestivel da racao. Os tratamentos influenciaram de forma quadratica a conversao alimentar em musculo, que melhorou ate o nivel de 0,94% de lisina digestivel. O nivel de 0,94% de lisina digestivel verdadeira, correspondente a um consumo de 26,22 g/dia de lisina digestivel (2,83 g de lisina digestivel/Mcal de EM) proporcionou os melhores resultados de desempenho e caracteristicas de carcaca em suinos machos castrados dos 60 aos 95 kg.

Abstract: An inventive solid state drawing die has shaping walls that define a shaping channel and that, in the course of solid state drawing, direct polymer composition along a drawing path. Each cross section of the drawing path (and, hence, polymer composition in the drawing path) is non-circular, substantially proportional to one another, contains a centroid that lies on a substantially straight line parallel to the drawing direction and all cross sectional dimensions are 1.5 millimeters or more.
TL;DR: A positive correlation between prevalence of infection and pluviometric was detected, but temperature ratios were unclear, and association between infection and reproductive failures was evidenced mainly regarding Hardjo serovar.
Abstract: This study was carried out by serologic sampling (microscopic agglutination test, living antigens) for anti-leptospiral antibodies in dairy farms of Parnaiba microrregion, state of Piaui, Brazil, during dry and rainny seasons. All 16 flocks were infected and 1044 out of 1975 sera samples (52.9%) were positive for at least one serovar. Higher prevalence was serovar Hardjo (39.5%) folowed by Wolffi (26.7%) and Hebdomadis (12.2%). Hardjo and Wolffi were found in all flocks. Serovars Australis, Bratislava, Autumnalis, Butembo, Hebdomadis, Icterohaemorrhagiae, Hardjo, Wolffi, Shermani and Patoc, were also present. A positive correlation between prevalence of infection and pluviometric was detected, but temperature ratios. Association between infection and reproductive failures was evidenced mainly regarding Hardjo serovar.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the electrochemical properties of layer-by-layer (LbL) films of poly(o-methoxyaniline; POMA) and tetrasulfonated phthalocyanines containing nickel (NiTsPc) or copper (CuTpc) for detecting dopamine and ascorbic acid at concentrations as low as 10−5 M.
Abstract: Multilayered nanostructured films have been widely investigated for electrochemical applications as modified electrodes, including the layer-by-layer (LbL) films where properties such as thickness and film architecture can be controlled at the molecular level. In this study, we investigate the electrochemical features of LbL films of poly(o-methoxyaniline; POMA) and tetrasulfonated phthalocyanines containing nickel (NiTsPc) or copper (CuTsPc). The films displayed well-defined electroactivity, with redox pairs at 156 and 347 mV vs SCE, characteristic of POMA, which allowed their use as modified electrodes for detecting dopamine and ascorbic acid at concentrations as low as 10−5 M.

Abstract: Este texto aponta elementos para uma problematizacao da democracia direta, materializada em processos de descentralizacao e de participacao da sociedade civil nos espacos de deliberacoes das politicas publicas, em um contexto de reformas das politicas sociais, iniciadas na decada de 1990. Toma como objeto de analise a Politica Nacional do Idoso e as experiencias dos conselhos de direito da pessoa idosa. Conclui-se que, apesar dos espacos de participacao serem contraditorios e os sentidos de participacao dos diferentes sujeitos estarem em confronto, a correlacao de forcas, favoravel as forcas conservadoras, redirecionam as politicas sociais, imprimindo-lhes nova racionalidade e nova legitimidade, que distribuem responsabilidades para a sociedade civil. Essas mudancas reforcam a cultura privacionista no enfrentamento das refracoes da questao social e transmutam a participacao popular em consentimento e legitimacao da ordem

TL;DR: It is concluded that through the exfoliation vaginal cytology it can be differentiated the phases of the estrous cycle in ewe of the race Saint Ines.
Abstract: The objective of this work was to establish a vaginal cytological profile in ewe of the Race Saint Ines, during a complete estrous cycle. Five created cyclical females in half-intensive system had been selected, in the Farm Rocks Saint, Araguaina, TO. The vaginal smears had been made daily during the estrous cycle, detected for a ruffian. One was confectioned vaginal smears for female, in dry glass slides to the ambient temperature and settled in alcohol 95% and in followed. They had been staining by the fast panotico method. The glass slides had been observed to the optic microscope with increases of 10 x and 40 x for counting of 100 cells and visualization of the morphologic and staining characteristics of the epithelial cells to the long one of the estrous cycle. The changeable phases of the estrous cycle – proestrous, estrous, metoestrum and diestrum – e types cells – basal, parabasal, anuclear superficial –, intermediate and had been studied by means of ANOVA, to the level of probability of 5% for the test of Tukey. The some types cells of the vaginal epithelium had been found to the long one of the phases of the estrous cycle and evaluated four types of cells: nuclear superficial, intermediate, basal and parabasal. In the phase of estrous a difference was noticed statistics of the anuclear superficial cells on the too much types (P<0,05). One concluded that through the exfoliation vaginal cytology it can be differentiated the phases of the estrous cycle in ewe of the race Saint Ines. KEY-WORDS: Estrous cycle, ewe, vaginal cytology, vaginal epithelium.
