Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch, el “pecán”, es hoy en día un cultivo que está adquiriendo importancia en Argentina por su alto valor nutricional como alimento. Debido a esto, surge la necesidad de buscar alternativas sustentables, que promuevan su crecimiento y sanidad para lograr una mejor productividad y calidad del cultivo. Una alternativa puede ser la micorrización con hongos específicos y, principalmente las ectomicorrizas que se forman como resultado de la simbiosis del árbol con algunas especies de hongos, lo que otorga beneficios tanto a la planta como al hongo. Uno de los géneros de hongos ectomicorrícicos que tiene potencial como agente promotor del crecimiento de este cultivo forestal es Tuber. Este género se caracteriza por formar esporomas (fructificaciones, cuerpos fructíferos) hipogeos que se conocen con el nombre vulgar de “trufa”, los que hoy en día se comercializan en muchos países por su gran valor gastronómico. El objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica fue indagar la información disponible sobre la interacción entre Carya illinoinensis y hongos del género Tuber y analizar la factibilidad de su uso para promover la producción de plantas de vivero. Este estudio sugiere un gran potencial de esta interacción para la producción en conjunto, ya que Carya illinoinensis ha sido reportada como hospedante de Tuber melanosporum Vittad. (Trufa Negra), Tuber brumale Vittad. (Trufa negra de otoño), Tuber borchii Vittad. (Trufa bianchetto), Tuber aestivum (Wulfen) Pers. (Trufa negra de verano) y Tuber lyonii Butters (Trufa del Pecán).

This article explores what queer as a concept brings to peacebuilding, presenting a guiding framework and introduction for a special issue on queer peacebuilding. It offers an initial approach to the topic, which means to center queer and trans perspectives of peace and bring queer epistemologies to bear on how peace is constituted so as to rearticulate the concept both in theory and praxis. In doing so, it addresses an unexamined gap in peacebuilding efforts to achieve gender justice and inclusive security in conflict-affected societies, namely the unique experiences of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer) individuals and their collective efforts to achieve social justice in these contexts. The authors approach the topic of queer peacebuilding through three questions: What is queer peacebuilding?, ‘Why is queer peacebuilding important? and What can queer peacebuilding contribute? While the impacts of queer peacebuilding in sites of contentious politics around the globe are visible, it remains an emergent and somewhat elusive concept, still under construction within peace and security scholarship and practice. By presenting a conceptualization of the notion of queer peacebuilding, the authors seek to further academic efforts to construct and analyze queer peace.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize the clinical and arthroscopic presentations of horses with osteochondral fragmentation at the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of São Paulo in a 10-year period (2010-2019). The hind limbs were affected similarly to the plantar and dorsal fragments from the first phalanx, while the thoracic limbs had a more frequent occurrence on the dorsal aspect of the joint. The Brazilian Sport Horses were the most frequently observed breed. The degree of lameness was variable and might be related to fragment localization, animal age, and physical activity. There was a significant statistical difference between the joint effusion and degree of lameness; therefore, it can be considered that the joint effusion is related to degenerative joint processes and might be triggered by the presence of the osteochondral fragment. Surgical correction, especially when performed in young animals using an arthroscopic procedure is probably the best treatment option for most cases, possibly acting as a minimizer of the occurrence of secondary joint degeneration. Prospective studies of specific breeds with a larger number of animals can expand this clinical characterization and enable a better understanding of the animal’s recovery after surgical or conservative management.

ABSTRACT This retrospective study was based on data extracted from medical records of 48 horses with intestinal obstruction caused by enteroliths and/or foreign bodies seen over the course of 17 years. Data analysis was aimed at describing the major features of this type of colic. Obstructions caused by enteroliths, foreign bodies or both accounted for 40 (83.34%), 6 (12.50%) and 2 (4.16%) cases in this sample respectively. Affected horses were aged 1 to 32 years (mean age 9.5 years) and 14 horses were fed alfalfa. Alfalfa is thought to contribute to enterolith formation. Foreign bodies and enteroliths were found in the transverse (12 cases, 25%), the large or the small colon (10 cases, 20.83% respectively). Concurrent obstruction of different intestinal segments was also recorded. These involved the small and the large colon in 10 cases (20.83%), the transverse and the large colon in 4 cases (8.33%), the small and the transverse colon in 1 case (2.08%) and the transition from the large to the transverse colon in one case (2.08%). Short term survival was 77.08% overall and 87.50% when only patients submitted to postoperative treatment were accounted for. Survival data are consistent with survival rates of 91% reported in literature.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the influence of breastfeeding duration on eating behavior in children aged two to six years. Methods: this review was conducted by PRISMA guidelines. SciELO, Lilacs, Embase, and PubMed databases were researched by using a specific syntax, for studies published from 2000 to 2020. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal checklist was used to assess the risk of study bias. Results: a total of 26,211 articles were identified, of which seven were included in the study. The results showed a significant association in four studies. All authors used their own questionnaires to assess breastfeeding exposure; there was no standard classification of exclusive and total breastfeeding duration. The breastfeeding duration was associated with reduced food neophobia, lower scores on the food responsiveness subscale, and lower ‘picky eating’ behavior. Validated instruments were predominantly used to assess the outcome of eating behavior; however, this assessment was not similar between studies. Conclusion: a significant association was observed between breastfeeding duration and eating behavior in children aged two to six years. Further research should be conducted to describe the mechanisms involved in this association.

Objetivo: analisar a literatura científica acerca das tecnologias e cuidados para posicionamento e reposicionamento do cateter central de inserção periférica (PICC) em neonatos.

In this article we show how the search interface Glossa has been developed in step with the various corpora that have been built at the Text Laboratory. Furthermore, we present statistics on what kind of searches people do – single words or longer phrases, with or without specifications for phonetic form or grammatical features etc. – focusing on the Nordic Dialect Corpus and the Corpus of American Nordic Speech. Finally, we demonstrate how researchers have searched for data in these corpora and used them in published articles – both simple and extended search, in smaller or larger language areas – within several different branches of linguistics.

Estudos têm confirmado a importância de se considerar a religiosidade e a espiritualidade (R/E) como fator de grande relevância na vida das pessoas, associadas a indicadores de bem-estar e com impacto sobre a saúde dos pacientes. No entanto, há uma escassez de conhecimentos sobre o impacto da R/E na saúde de crianças e adolescentes e sobre a aplicação de tais conhecimentos na prática clínica e quanto à prevenção de comportamentos de risco e de transtornos mentais. Esse artigo objetiva oferecer uma breve revisão da literatura sobre a relação do tema espiritualidade com a saúde mental na infância e adolescência e sobre a abordagem do mesmo na prática clínica.

This study aimed to grade joint abnormalities in horses submitted to therapeutic arthroscopy using score-based protocols for equine joint assessment, correlated with arthroscopic treatment outcomes and owner satisfaction. In this prospective study, we evaluated 126 joints of athletic horses referred for arthroscopy. The joints were scored according to findings of medical history and physical, radiographic, ultrasonographic and arthroscopic examination. Lameness, positive response to flexion test and decreased maximum joint flexion angle were detected in more than 50% of joints. Soft tissue swelling, sclerosis, subchondral bone osteolysis and single osteochondral fragments were the most common radiographic findings. Ultrasonographic examination revealed changes in synovial fluid volume and appearance, and subchondral bone irregularities. Increased vascularity of the synovial villi, chondral fibrillation, chondral fissures and superficial cartilage erosions were the most significant arthroscopic findings. The approaches that demonstrated greater sensitivity and correlation with treatment outcome and owner satisfaction were medical history, ultrasonographic and arthroscopic examination. The scoring protocol employed to grade joint abnormalities enabled the creation of a joint score system for the objective assessment, thus determining the most frequent findings and establishing an injury severity score for each joint.

Resumo: Com o objetivo de determinar os valores de referência ecocardiográficos de equinos da raça Mangalarga Marchador, foram avaliados 80 equinos desta raça, machos e fêmeas, com 1,6 a 16 anos de idade, pesando entre 320 a 500 kg, divididos igualmente em 4 grupos: fêmeas de 1,6 a 4 anos de idade (G1), fêmeas com mais de 4 anos de idade (G2), machos de 1,6 a 4 anos de idade (G3), machos com mais de 4 anos de idade (G4). A avaliação constou de exame ecocardiográfico mono e bidimensional, tendo sido realizados através da janela cardíaca direita, nos modos B e M: DIVDs, DIVDd, SIVs, SIVd, DIVEs, DIVEd, PLVEs, PLVEd, Aod, FS%, EF%, AEs, Aod, Aes/ Aod, ponto E-S. Através da janela cardíaca esquerda nos modos B e M: DIVEs, DIVEd, FS%, EF%, AEs. Foram observadas diferenças estatísticas entre as médias dos quatro grupos dos seguintes parâmetros: Aod, AEs, DIVDs, DIVDd, SIVs, SIVd, DIVEs, DIVEd, PLVEs, PLVEd, Vs, Vd e correlações estatísticas positivas entre Aod, AEs, SIVs, SIVd, PLVEs, PLVEd, Vd e a idade, entreAod, AEs, SIVs, SIVd, DIVEd, PLVEs, AEs/Aod e o peso e o perímetro torácico e entre Aod, AEs, SIVs, SIVd, DIVEs, PLVEs, Vd e a altura da cernelha. Houve influência tanto do sexo como da faixa etária sobre os valores de referência para equinos da raça Mangalarga Marchador, tendo os machos acima de 4 anos apresentados valores de medidas ventriculares maiores. O peso, altura e idade dos animais influenciaram da mesma forma os resultados, estando todos relacionados positivamente ao tamanho da estrutura cardíaca.

Abstract Since respiratory insufficiency is the main cause of death in patients affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), the present study aims at establishing a new non-invasive method to evaluate the clinical parameters of respiratory conditions of experimental models affected by DMD. With this purpose in mind, we evaluated the cardiorespiratory clinical conditions, the changes in the intercostal muscles, the diaphragmatic mobility, and the respiratory cycles in Golden Retriever Muscular Dystrophy (GRMD) employing ultrasonography (US). A control group consisting of dogs of the same race, but not affected by muscular dystrophy, were used in this study. The results showed that inspiration, expiration and plateau movements (diaphragm mobility) were lower in the affected group. Plateau phase in the affected group was practically non-existent and showed that the diaphragm remained in constant motion. Respiratory rate reached 15.5 per minute for affected group and 26.93 per minute for the control group. Expiration and inspiration movements of intercostal muscles reached 8.99mm and 8.79mm, respectively, for control group and 7.42mm and 7.40mm, respectively, for affected group. Methodology used in the present analysis proved to be viable for the follow-up and evaluation of the respiratory model in GRMD and may be adapted to other muscular dystrophy experimental models.

Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status of crack users and to analyze its correlation with drug use profiles. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 108 crack users. Anthropometric data were assessed through body mass index (BMI) and bioimpedance (BIA) measurements. A blood test to analyze hematocrit, hemoglobin, glucose, and lipid profiles was also performed. Crack use was determined through a standardized interview. Results: Based on BMI and BIA, most individuals were eutrophic (about 70%). Regarding hematological parameters, we found that hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were below normal for 32.4 and 30.6% of patients, respectively. Considering normal parameters, a large part of the sample (60.2%) had low levels of HDL cholesterol and high levels of triglycerides (38%). There were no significant correlations between drug profile and nutritional variables. Conclusion: This is a pioneering study that examines the nutritional status of crack users. Our results showed that most crack users present normal anthropometric findings and the prevalence of underweight is low. However, blood analysis showed changes and a specific type of malnutrition.

ABSTRACT: This study compared radiographic and B-mode and Doppler ultrasound exams of the thoracic cavity, excluding the heart, in canine and feline species, in which the radiographs revealed the formation of a potential acoustic window. The objectives were to demonstrate the advantages and limitations of each technique and to determine whether the additional information influenced the differential diagnosis as well as the outcome of each case. The advantages of B-mode ultrasonography included: better qualitative and quantitative evaluation of pleural effusions, an improved ability to determine whether a nodule was solid or cystic and easier determination of the location in the pulmonary parenchyma. The Power Doppler ultrasound evaluated the blood supply pattern of the nodules and masses and differentiated between vessels and fluid bronchogram. A limitation of the ultrasound examination was the need to be guided by the previous radiography. The advantages of the radiographic examination included the possibility of localizing pulmonary lesions at any depth in the absence of a pleural effusion and providing a panoramic view of the extent of the thoracic disease. The ultrasound examination influenced the differential diagnosis in 18 (62.06%) cases and influenced the outcome of 8 (27.58%) cases.

A 4-year-old male goat was presented to the Hospital of Bovines and Small Ruminants, University of São Paulo - Brazil, showing fasciculation in all limbs, ataxia progressing to paralysis and opisthotonos. After determination of the vital parameters and the specific evaluation of the nervous system, sensitivity in the region corresponding to the sixth cervical vertebrae (C6) and first thoracic vertebrae (T1) was observed on palpation. Further investigation using X-ray, myelography, and ultrasound revealed the decrease of the intervertebral space between C6 and T1, the presence of spondylosis and the absence of the seventh cervical vertebra (C7), which contained only the vertebral arch and local spinous process and the compression of the spinal cord. Goat congenital malformations are underdiagnosed, therefore, requires further discussion, and studies regarding the genetic variations.

This paper describes the work and methods used to compile monolingual Norwegian and Swedish academic word lists as well as a merged Norwegian-Swedish list. The resulting list is discussed with respect to similarities and especially differences between the two languages, in terms of concepts such as cognates, false friends and remote friends.

Existe amplia evidencia a nivel internacional para confirmar una desventaja académica en el rendimiento matemático de alumnos provenientes de niveles socioeconómicos (NSE) bajos. Con el fin de intervenir en esta problemática, resulta necesario detallar las características de este déficit por curso escolar, sexo y subhabilidad matemática. Hasta el momento, escasos estudios han abordado la interacción de estos factores en una misma muestra de participantes. De esta forma, nos propusimos analizar la construcción de hechos numéricos básicos (HNB) de suma, resta y multiplicación en una muestra de 619 escolares de 2º a 6º grado escolar a la luz de las variables NSE y sexo. Más allá de confirmar la desventaja socioeconómica en todos los cursos escolares y en ambos sexos, nuestros resultados reflejan, un rendimiento superior de hombres sobre mujeres solamente en el NSE medio-alto y en HNB de multiplicación. Futuras investigaciones son necesarias para indagar en este resultado inesperado.

Resumo: Brazilian sheep production has intensified, predisposing sheep to an increased incidence of digestive disorders, such as abomasal ulcers. Ranitidine is used to prevent and treat this disease; however, there is little information on the parenteral use of this drug in adult ruminants. Few data exist on the concomitant metabolic changes and the behavior of the digestive system associated with its use. For this study, five healthy male sheep with ruminal and abomasal cannulas were used. A 5x5 Latin square experiment with a 2x2+1 factorial arrangement of the treatments was performed. Sheep treated with drug doses of 1 or 2mg/kg ranitidine administered intravenously every 8 or 12 hours were compared with the control group, was treated intravenously with 1 mL of physiological solution per 25 kg every 12 hours. Higher total protein concentrations, hemoglobin levels, as well as increased aspartate aminotransferase activity and increased abomasal pH for up to 150 min following drug administration were observed in all animals that received the drug, regardless of dose and frequency. The animals treated every 12 hours showed a decrease in leukocyte number compared with the control group and with the animals treated every 8 hours. Increased serum creatinine concentrations were observed in the animals treated every 8 hours. Treatments of 1mg/kg every 8 hours and 2mg/kg every 12 hours increased the red blood cell count and decreased the serum pepsinogen. All protocols studied were safe for healthy sheep, but 1mg/kg ranitidine every 8 hours and 2mg/kg ranitidine every 12 hours were the most effective protocols for gastric protection.

Horses used for the game of polo experience abrupt and frequent changes in exercise intensity. To meet this variable energy demand, the horses use both aerobic and anaerobic pathways in varying proportions and intensities. In this context, there must be a balance between the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the action of antioxidants to prevent oxidative stress and its consequences. The effect of supplementation with an ADE vitamin complex on oxidative metabolism was evaluated in 18 crossbred horses randomly divided between a treated group (TG) and a control group (CG). The TG animals received the ADE vitamin complex (1mL/50 kg of body weight) by deep intramuscular injection at 30 and 15 days before the game. The CG horses received 10ml of saline by the same administration route and schedule. During the polo match, the animals played for a total of 7.5 min. Blood samples were collected on the same days as the treatments were administered, and immediately before and at 15, 90 and 180 minutes after the game. The concentrations of creatine phosphokinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lactate, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured in the blood samples. After the game, the TG demonstrated higher levels of AST, lactate and glucose than the CG, suggesting more efficient energy use by the treated animals. The higher GSH and lower lactate levels in the TG before the game suggest the presence of a greater antioxidant supply in the treated animals. The maintenance of the MDA levels indicates that neither of the groups exhibited oxidative stress.

Se presenta el desarrollo de una prueba de dictado de palabras (TEO-D) para la evaluación del nivel ortográfico de escolares de segundo a sexto grado de primaria, con el objetivo de contribuir a las prácticas educativas y a la valoración neuropsicológica y psicopedagógica de las dificultades en lenguaje escrito. La prueba se construyó a partir de la revisión y análisis de palabras frecuentes de nuestro medio, que contienen la alternancia del grafema b y v para representar el fonema /b/, los grafemas j y g para la representación del sonido /j/, las palabras, que pueden escribirse con ll o y, las que contienen el grafema h para el que no hay fonema y los grafemas c y s, que representan el sonido /s/. Se examina la estructura factorial, la fiabilidad y la validez de la prueba, que fue aplicada a una muestra de 488 alumnos de Montevideo, seleccionados mediante muestreo por conveniencia, entre dos colegios de educación privada de nivel socioeconómico medio bajo y medio alto. El análisis factorial confirmatorio, utilizando el programa NOHARM de un modelo de factor único, indica un ajuste adecuado a una estructura unidimensional, obteniendo una muy buena fiabilidad de consistencia interna en la muestra total y por curso.

In this study, transplacental transmission of Neospora caninum in bitches at different stages of pregnancy was evaluated. Three bitches were inoculated in the 3rd week and three in the 6th week of gestation with 10(8) tachyzoites of N. caninum (Nc-1 strain). All the infected bitches and at least one of their offspring presented anti-N. caninum antibodies according to the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT > 400). The pups and their mothers were sacrificed and tissues from the central nervous system (CNS), popliteal lymph nodes, skeletal muscle, brain, lungs, heart and liver were analyzed for the presence of N. caninum using the nested polymerase chain reaction (nested PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The parasite was found in the pups in lymph node, CNS, heart and liver tissues using nested PCR. There was no difference in perinatal mortality between the offspring from bitches infected in the 3rd week of gestation (60%) and in the 6th week (53.8%).Neste estudo a transmissão transplacentária de Neospora caninum foi avaliada em fêmeas em diferentes estágios de gestação. Três cadelas foram inoculadas na 3ª semana e três na 6ª semana de gestação com 10(8) taquizoítos de N. caninum (cepa Nc-1). Todas as cadelas infectadas, e pelo menos um de seus filhotes, apresentaram anticorpos anti-N. caninum por imunofluorescência indireta (RIFI > 400). Os filhotes e suas mães foram sacrificados e tecidos de sistema nervoso central (SNC), linfonodo poplíteo, músculo esquelético, cérebro, pulmões, coração e fígado foram analisados para a presença de N. caninum pela reação em cadeia da polimerase (nested PCR), polimorfismo de comprimento de fragmentos de restrição (RFLP) e imunoistoquímica (IHQ). O parasita foi encontrado em filhotes em linfonodo, SNC, coração e fígado pela nested PCR. Mortalidade perinatal não apresentou diferença entre os filhotes das cadelas infectadas na 3ª semana (60%) ou na 6ª semana de gestação (53,8%).

OBJETIVO: Verificar associações entre a qualidade de vida das mães e o estado nutricional de seus filhos. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo caso-controle com mães de crianças com idade entre zero e cinco anos, moradoras da área de abrangência de uma unidade básica de saúde, no município de Porto Alegre. O cálculo de tamanho amostral foi estimado em 152 mães, sendo 76 mães com filhos em risco nutricional/desnutrição (casos) e 76 mães com filhos eutróficos (controles). Foram coletadas informações referentes à qualidade de vida das mães, medida através do instrumento da Organização Mundial da Saúde, e analisada a associação entre a qualidade de vida materna e o estado nutricional de seus filhos. RESULTADOS: Em relação ao domínio psíquico, para cada criança eutrófica cuja mãe tem baixa qualidade de vida existe uma chance de 5,4 crianças em risco nutricional/desnutrição com mães em igual condição. No domínio ambiental, para cada criança eutrófica cuja mãe tem baixa qualidade de vida existe uma chance de 2,9 crianças em risco nutricional/desnutrição com mães em igual condição. Em relação ao nível educacional, para cada criança eutrófica cuja mãe tem baixa qualidade de vida existe uma chance de 4,2 crianças em risco nutricional/desnutrição com mães em igual condição. CONCLUSÕES: A baixa qualidade de vida materna mostrou-se associada ao risco nutricional/desnutrição infantil e pode ser um fator de risco para o estado nutricional dos filhos.OBJECTIVE: Determine associations between the quality of life of mothers and the nutritional status of children. METHODS: case-control study involving 152 mothers of children aged zero to five years, living in the coverage area of a basic health unit in the city of Porto Alegre. The calculation of sample size was estimated as 152 mothers - 76 mothers with children at nutritional risk/malnutrition (cases) and 76 mothers with eutrophic children (controls). Information was collected regarding the quality of life of mothers, measured by the instrument of the World Health Organization, and the association between maternal quality of life and nutritional status of children was examined. RESULTS: In relation to the psychiatric realm, for each eutrophic child whose mother has lower quality of life there is a chance of 5.4 children at nutritional risk/malnutrition with mothers in the same condition. In the environmental field, for each eutrophic child whose mother has lower quality of life there is a chance of 2.9 children at nutritional risk/malnutrition with mothers in the same condition. Regarding educational level, for each eutrophic child whose mother has lower quality of life there is a chance of 4.2 children at nutritional risk/malnutrition with mothers in the same condition. CONCLUSIONS: Mothers' low quality of life was associated with an infant in nutritional risk/malnutrition and may be a risk factor for the nutritional status of children.

A avaliação de linfonodo, parte importante do estadiamento das neoplasias mamárias em cadelas, pode auxiliar no estabelecimento do prognóstico e na escolha da conduta terapêutica. A ultrassonografia em modo B possibilita avaliação de tamanho, contorno, borda, forma, arquitetura, ecotextura e ecogenicidade do parênquima dos linfonodos e, em modo Doppler, da quantidade e distribuição dos seus vasos internos. Este trabalho visou identificar as características ultrassonográficas mais importantes utilizadas para classificar os linfonodos em metastáticos e não-metastáticos, estabelecer elementos de confiabilidade do ultrassom como ferramenta para diferenciar linfonodos metastáticos de não-metastáticos e estabelecer procedimentos de reprodução deste exame. Foram examinados 67 linfonodos inguinais superficiais de 30 cadelas com tumor mamário e cada linfonodo foi classificado como metastático ou não-metastático. A impressão diagnóstica ultrassonográfica foi associada aos resultados do exame histopato lógico dos linfonodos obtendo-se taxa de concordância de 92,5%, índice de sensibilidade de 94,1%, índice de especificidade de 92%, valor preditivo positivo de 0,8 e valor preditivo negativo de 0,9787. Características ultrassonográficas que classificaram um linfonodo como metastático ou como não-metastático foram listadas. O exame ultrassonográfico dos linfonodos regionais constitui importante ferramenta na detecção de metástase e sugere-se incluí-lo como rotina do estadiamento de neoplasias mamárias em cadelas.

A osteocondrose é uma das doenças ortopédicas do desenvolvimento mais comuns em cavalos, e deve ser encarada como uma desordem multifatorial. Caracteriza-se por ser uma doença dinâmica, onde o processo de reparo inicia-se quase que imediatamente após a formação da lesão osteocondral. A intensidade e eficácia deste reparo são fortemente relacionados à idade, e estão associados a reposição dos componentes da matriz cartilagínea. Uma vez que o fator de crescimento tipo insulina-1 (IGF-1) age regulando o crescimento da cartilagem articular, este estudo objetivou descrever os níveis séricos de IGF-I, insulina e glicose em potros Puro Sangue Lusitano hígidos ou com osteocondrose, desde o nascimento até 18 meses de idade. Dos potros acompanhados, 76,08% apresentaram sinais radiográficos de osteocondrose com um mês de idade, porém somente 16,2% mantiveram as lesões aos 18 meses. As concentrações de IGF-1 alcançaram picos entre 14 e 16 meses, equivalente ao início da puberdade. As concentrações de IGF-1 nos potros com osteocondrose foram menores que potros sadios, aos 2 e 5 meses (P

Com base em uma pesquisa de cunho etnográfico sobre "rachas" de carros e de motos, propomos questionar se a aceleração dos motores pode ser pensada como uma metáfora para a aceleração dos percursos fluidos, flexíveis e incertos desses jovens, próprios do contexto da "sobremodernidade". O objetivo é de compreender os significados atribuídos à experiência da velocidade e ao risco aí envolvido, a fim de analisar a relação entre condutas de risco juvenis e o papel dos ritos de passagem, conceito-chave na antropologia. Discutiremos o alcance e os limites de se compreender os "rachas", por um lado, como uma forma individualizada de ritualizar a passagem da infância à idade adulta e, por outro, como a expressão lúdica de uma forma de jogo-brinquedo. Como outras formas de culturas juvenis, os "rachas" podem ser compreendidos como linguagem de singularização e de pertencimento reforçada por valores e práticas de uma masculinidade hegemônica tradicional.This ethographic study about the "rachas" of motos and cars is grounded around the question, if and in how far the acceleration of motors could serve as a methaphor for the acceleration of fluid, flexible and undetermined par-courses of life in the context of "surmodern" societies. The objective is first to understand the significations given to the experiences of speed and of the risks implied, in order to analyse then the relationship between the youth's risk conduct and the rites of passage. We will discuss the potentialities and limits of comprehending the "rachas" on one side as an individualised form of a passage ritual and on the other side as a ludicrous expression of play and joy. Thus we could interpret the "rachas" like other varieties of youth culture as a language of singularisation and affiliation emphasized by practices of traditional hegemonic masculinity.

This study aimed to review the scientific production nationally and internationally indexed in Scielo, Pepsic, and Capes journal (Web of science, and Eric Psychinfo), between 1999 and 2009, on the relationship between morphological awareness and literacy. Empirical studies that described the relationship of morphological awareness and literacy were selected. Seventy‑six papers were identified. They were analyzed considering the following aspects: the age of the samples of interest, the countries where the publication were more frequent, the years of publication and the most frequent keywords. Papers that were excluded were literature review, papers dealing with the syntactic awareness without focusing on morphosyntactic or derivational morphology, papers with bilingual subjects, and book chapters. The results point to the need for more publications on the subject, and they show that this is a relatively new theme and many issues still need to be addressed.

Este trabajo ha tenido como objetivo revisar la producción científica nacional e internacional indexada en el Scielo, Pepsic, y Capes periódicos (Web de la ciencia, de Psychinfo y de Eric) del año 1999 hasta el año 2009 en lo relacionado a estudios que asocian conciencia morfológica y alfabetización. Fueron seleccionados estudios empíricos que relacionaron la conciencia morfológica a la alfabetización. Fueron identificados 76 considerando los aspectos siguientes: la edad de las muestras de interés, los países donde el tema es más frecuente, los años de la publicación y las palabras claves. Se excluyeron los artículos de la revisión de literatura, artículos que se ocuparon de la conciencia sintáctica sin centrarse en los aspectos de los morfosintácticos o morfología derivacional y bilingüe, así como los capítulos de libros. Los resultados señalan que es necesario más publicaciones sobre el tema por ser relativamente nuevo y con muchas preguntas que todavía deberán ser trabajadas.

Este artigo descreve a experiência do ensino em Enfermagem Psiquiátrica/Saúde Mental na Faculdade de Enfermagem/Universidade Federal de Goiás, pontuando potencialidades e fragilidades na busca de novos caminhos para atenção em enfermagem de saúde mental e psiquiatria. Destacamos aspectos relevantes como facilidade de integração entre as disciplinas da área com outras áreas, a contribuição na formação geral do enfermeiro no desenvolvimento de competências relacionais, de gestão, de capacitação para compreender, planejar e desenvolver ações de resgate da humanização nos serviços de saúde, com destaque especial ao cuidado do cuidador. Como fator limitante, pontuamos a fragilidade da rede de serviços de atenção psicossocial que constitui um obstáculo e grande desafio a ser superado para a implementação de mudanças na assistência e ensino.Este artículo describe la experiencia de enseñanza en Enfermería Psiquiátrica/Salud Mental en la Escuela de Enfermería de la Universidad Federal de Goiás puntuando potencialidades y fragilidades en la búsqueda de nuevas maneras de atención en enfermería de salud mental y psiquiatría. Enfatizamos aspectos importantes como facilidad de integración entre varias disciplinas de áreas diferentes, la contribución en la formación general del enfermero en el desarrollo de habilidades de relacionar, la administración, de calificación para entender, planear y desarrollar acciones para rescatar ayuda humanística en servicios de salud, con destaque especial al cuidado de aquel que cuida. Como factor limitante puntuamos la fragilidad de la red de servicios de atención psicosocial que constituye un obstáculo y gran desafío de ser superados para la implementación de cambios en el cuidado y enseñanzaThis article describes the experience of education in Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing in the Nursing College of Federal University of Goiás, marking potentialities and fragilities in the search for new ways of attention in mental health and psychiatry nursing. We detach some important aspects as easy integration among the disciplines of different areas, the contribution to the nurses' general formation in the development of related abilities, management and qualification to understand, to plan and to develop actions that will rescue the humanistic assistance at the health services, with special attention to take care of who take care. The limiting factor found was the fragility of the psychosocial care attention services that constitutes an obstacle and a challenge to be exceed for the implementation of changes in the assistance and education.

Among the many and diverse activities carried out by nurses, many are organized within the context of a group approach. The realization that there were no systematized studies in Brazil, capable of providing parameters that would help to understand how nurses use this resource, motivated the authors to develop this study, whose objective was to review scientific literature on the use of group activity, as it relates to the work carried out by nurses, between 1980 and 2003. This was a descriptive/exploratory research developed through a bibliographic review in Brazilian journals, on the basis of a specific protocol. We were able to identify 151 articles that were reviewed in terms of the expansion of this knowledge and the different situations in which a group is used by nurses. The qualitative analysis done on pre-established categories enabled the authors to verify that nurses have been using this technique while delivering care, producing knowledge and developing human resources. This investigation allowed us to outline a panoramic view of this literature and to develop a catalogue, identifying important aspects in the construction of this knowledge by Brazilian nursing personnel.Entre las actividades del enfermero, muchas están organizadas en el contexto del trabajo en grupo.

The focus of this article is on the mythical image of perfection of the newscasters of the Jornal Nacional – Globo Television Network – constructed by the Brazilian media. Both as soft as well as hard news in magazines, newspapers and information sites, Fátima Bernardes and William Bonner are structured as a couple completely fulfi lled in the profession, in love and in family relationships. This reading is possible due to the overlapping of journalism and mythical thought. Using discourse analysis concepts as a support, we have analyzed 168 texts between 1998 and 2004, pointing out how the media have constructed this image and what meanings they have mobilized on attributing to the couple a special place in the pantheon of mass culture celebrities. Three distinct formations stand out: a) love, fame and beauty; b) talent and professional success; c) family and morals. More than just journalists, the newscasters are portrayed as stars with impeccable morals, diff erent from the vulgar celebrities present in the current media.

Este artigo é parte de uma pesquisa sobre a imagem dos apresentadores do Jornal Nacional, Fátima Bernardes e William Bonner, instituída pelo discurso midiático. Partimos do pressuposto de que a glamourização da vida privada do casal é uma estratégia que permite ao JN manter-se, em princípio, afastado da tendência nacional de incorporação da estética do show aos telejornais - sem, no entanto, abrir mão de um componente de identificação com o público. Analisamos os textos de duas revistas femininas que trazem Bernardes na capa, localizando as marcas discursivas que instituem os sentidos de uma estrela que ganha a estatura de um mito: o modelo de mãe, mulher e profissional a ser copiado e invejado.

Kinematic motion analysis is based on the reconstruction of selected bony anatomical landmarks identified by surface markers. Anatomical landmarks generally do not correspond to points but rather to relatively large and curved areas and their identification by palpation is not easy. Precise placement of surface markers is even more difficult and there is great variability between operators. In this study 16 examiners were asked to identify the lateral border of the left ischial tuberosity in a horse using palpation and ultrasonography for placement of a corresponding skin surface marker. Images of each marking procedure were captured using two video cameras and processed using the DVideow videogrammetry. A custom-written Matlab code was used to determine the position of the respective vectors. The positions of the markers were then compared to assess inter-examiner variability and the precision of the methods employed using the Bartletttest and the paired t-test respectively. Ultrasonography significantly improved the location of the anatomical landmark by each examiner (p = 0.04) and reduced the variability in the position of the surface marker when compared to palpation (p = 0.0028). The variability of the calculated distances (mean ± SD) was 2.89 ± 2.24 cm and 1.63 ± 0.98 cm using palpation and ultrasonography respectively. Ultrasound guidance reduced inter-examiner variability and allowed visualization of the corresponding bony anatomical landmark.
