ABSTRACT

Introducción: La hipertensión arterial constituye un problema de salud pública en casi todo el mundo. Entre los factores de riesgo vinculados a ella se destaca la acumulación de grasa, que puede, a su vez, establecer los riesgos, las comorbilidades y la mortalidad asociados a esta entidad nosológica. Objetivo: Determinar las variaciones de los valores del perímetro abdominal y el índice cintura-cadera en pacientes con hipertensión arterial, según variables epidemiológicas y clínicas seleccionadas. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal de 221 pacientes con hipertensión arterial, pertenecientes al Consultorio 19 del Policlínico Docente Josué País García del municipio de Santiago de Cuba, desde junio del 2019 hasta diciembre del 2020. Resultados: Predominó el sexo femenino y el grupo etario de 65-74 años (28,5 %). Los indicadores antropométricos perímetro abdominal e índice cintura-cadera tuvieron valores que superaron los parámetros normales establecidos para ambos sexos. El cálculo del perímetro abdominal reveló un predominio de la obesidad en el sexo femenino, en tanto se clasificó como aumentado en el sexo masculino. Conclusiones: Los valores del índice cintura-cadera y del perímetro abdominal en ambos sexos estuvieron por encima de los clasificados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como de alto riesgo de presentar la enfermedad.


Introduction: Hypertension constitutes a problem of public health in almost all over the world. Among the risk factors associated with it, the accumulation of fat is notable, which can, in turn, establish risks and determine comorbidities and mortality associated with this nosological entity. Objective: To determine the variations in the values of the abdominal perimeter and waist-hip ratio in patients with hypertension, according to selected epidemiological and clinical variables. Methods: A descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional study was carried out on 221 patients with hypertension, belonging to doctor's office 19 of Josué País García Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba municipality, from June, 2019 to December, 2020. Results: There was a prevalence of the female sex and the 65-74 age group (28.5%). The anthropometric indicators, abdominal perimeter and waist-hip ratio, had values that exceeded the established normal parameters for both sexes. The calculation of the abdominal perimeter revealed a predominance of obesity in the female sex, while it was classified as increased in the male sex. Conclusions: The values of the waist-hip ratio and abdominal perimeter exceeded those classified by the World Health Organization as high risk of presenting the disease in both sexes.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to characterize teleconsultations in neurology executed by Regula+Brasil project in Recife, a capital city in northeastern Brazil. METHODS: A descriptive study carried out by four private hospitals, in a partnership with the Ministry of Health in Brazil. Teleconsultation was performed preferably in the video modality. Conditions eligible for teleconsultation were headache, epilepsy, and cerebrovascular disorders. Period of analysis was May to September 2020. RESULTS: A total of 243 teleconsultations were analyzed, of which 76.95% was a first appointment. In 48.97% of cases, the teleconsultation represented the first opportunity for the patient to be consulted with the specialist. Among cases of first appointment, 20.16% were further referred to a face-to-face consultation and 21.81% could be redirected to primary health care. Headache disorders were the most predominant clinical conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The implementation and development of telemedicine by Regula+Brasil during the COVID-19 pandemic represented an opportunity to assess the value of having teleconsultations added along the line of care from primary care to a medical specialty, promoting the coordination of care across different levels of complexity of care in the health system and improving access to specialized care.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: The Gini coefficient is a statistical tool generally used by economists to quantify income inequality. However, it can be applied to any kind of data with unequal distribution, including heart rate variability (HRV). Objectives: To assess the application of the Gini coefficient to measure inequality in power spectral density of RR intervals, and to use this application as a psychophysiological indicator of mental stress. Methods: Thirteen healthy subjects (19 ± 1.5 years) participated in this study, and their RR intervals were obtained by electrocardiogram during rest (five minutes) and during mental stress (arithmetic challenge; five minutes). These RR intervals were used to obtain the estimates of power spectral densities (PSD). The limits for the PSD bands were defined from 0.15 to 0.40 Hz for high frequency band (HF), from 0.04 to 0.15 Hz for low frequency band (LF), from 0.04 to 0.085 Hz for first low frequency sub-band (LF1) and from 0.085 to 0.15 Hz for second low frequency sub-band (LF2). The spectral Gini coefficient (SpG) was proposed to measure the inequality in the power distribution of the RR intervals in each of above-mentioned HRV bands. SpG from each band was compared with its respective traditional index of HRV during the conditions of rest and mental stress. All the differences were considered statistically significant for p < 0.05. Results: There was a significant decrease in HF power (p = 0.046), as well as significant increases in heart rate (p = 0.004), LF power (p = 0.033), LF2 power (p = 0.019) and LF/HF (p = 0.002) during mental stress. There was also a significant increase in SpG(LF) (p = 0.009) and SpG(LF2) (p = 0.033) during mental stress. Coefficient of variation showed SpG has more homogeneity compared to the traditional index of HRV during mental stress. Conclusions: This pilot study suggested that spectral inequality of Heart Rate Variability analyzed using the Gini coefficient seems to be an independent and homogeneous psychophysiological indicator of mental stress. Also, HR, LF/HF, SpG(LF) of HRV are possibly important, reliable and valid indicators of mental stress.


Resumo Fundamento: O coeficiente de Gini é um instrumento estatístico geralmente usado por economistas para quantificar a desigualdade de renda. No entanto, ele pode ser aplicado a qualquer tipo de dados com distribuição desigual, incluindo a variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC). Objetivos: Avaliar a aplicação do coeficiente de Gini para medir a desigualdade na densidade espectral de potência de intervalos RR, e usar esta aplicação como um indicador psicofisiológico do estresse mental. Métodos: Treze indivíduos saudáveis (19 ± 1,5 anos) participaram deste estudo, e seus intervalos RR foram obtidos por eletrocardiograma durante repouso (cinco minutos) e durante estresse mental (desafio aritmético; cinco minutos). Esses intervalos RR foram utilizados para obter as estimativas de densidades espectrais de potência (PSD). Os limites para as bandas PSD foram definidos de 0,15 a 0,40 Hz para banda de alta frequência (HF), de 0,04 a 0,15 Hz para banda de baixa frequência (LF), de 0,04 a 0,085 Hz para a primeira sub-banda de baixa frequência (LF1) e de 0,085 a 0,15 Hz para a segunda sub-banda de baixa frequência (LF2). O coeficiente de Gini espectral (SpG) foi proposto para medir a desigualdade na distribuição de potência dos intervalos RR em cada uma das bandas de VFC mencionadas acima. O SpG de cada banda foi comparado com seu respectivo índice tradicional de VFC durante as condições de repouso e de estresse mental. Todas as diferenças foram consideradas estatisticamente significativas para p < 0,05. Resultados: Houve uma diminuição significativa no poder de FC (p=0,046), bem como aumentos significativos na frequência cardíaca (p = 0,004), potência da LF (p = 0,033), potência da LF2 (p = 0,019) e LF/HF (p = 0,002) durante estresse mental. Houve também um aumento significativo de SpG(LF) (p = 0,009) e SpG(LF2) (p = 0,033) durante estresse mental. O coeficiente de variação mostrou que o SpG tem mais homogeneidade em comparação com o índice tradicional de VFC durante o estresse mental. Conclusões: Este estudo piloto sugeriu que a desigualdade espectral da VFC analisada pelo coeficiente de Gini parece ser um indicador psicofisiológico independente e homogêneo de estresse mental. Além disso, FC, LF/HF, SpG(LF) da VFC são possivelmente indicadores importantes, confiáveis e válidos de estresse mental.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Revisão narrativa de literatura e descrição de um caso de úlcera de Marjolin conduzido nas dependências do Hospital Escola Luiz Gioseffi Jannuzzi, enfatizando a conduta e evolução a partir da literatura e a adotada no caso abordado. Relato de Caso: Homem de 52 anos, com história de queimadura térmica em membro inferior direito há cerca de 25 anos, que evoluiu tardiamente com o aparecimento de lesão eritematosa, puntiforme e pruriginosa, tornando-se ulcerada e, posteriormente, úlcero-vegetante, com aumento progressivo e sem cicatrização, associada a dor e episódios de sangramento por traumas. Realizada biópsia incisional, o histopatológico confirmou tratar-se de carcinoma epidermoide bem diferenciado, desenvolvido em tecido cicatricial antigo. Foi realizada ressecção ampla da lesão, com enxertia local, sendo ainda necessária a realização de desbridamento no pós-operatório devido à necrose da enxertia. Conclusões: As lesões cicatriciais ou ulceradas crônicas que sofrem modificações no seu aspecto clínico evolutivo devem ser avaliadas como potencialmente carcinomatosas e as ulcerações com tendência à cronificação devem ser prontamente tratadas, com o emprego de enxerto, retalho ou até mesmo amputação se necessário. As áreas cicatriciais precisam sempre ser protegidas e deve-se sempre considerar o risco potencial de malignidade associada com úlceras venosas crônicas nos membros inferiores, realizando biópsias repetidas para descartar a possibilidade de transformação maligna. O paciente em questão necessitou de ressecção ampla da lesão, com enxertia local, a qual evoluiu com necrose no pós-operatório, sendo realizado desbridamento e curativos diários até que apresentasse recuperação e, posteriormente, cicatrização por segunda intenção.(AU)


Objective: A literature narrative review and description of a Marjolin ulcer case conducted at the Luiz Gioseffi Jannuzzi School Hospital, emphasizing the conduct and evolution from the literature and adopted in the case discussed. Case Report: 52 year old male, with a history of thermal burn in the lower right limb for about 25 years, who developed late with the onset of an erythematous, punctiform and pruritic lesion, becoming ulcerated and subsequently ulcer-creasing, progressive increase without healing, associated with pain and bleeding episodes due to trauma. An incisional biopsy was performed; the histopathological examination confirmed that it was a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, developed in old scar tissue. A wide resection of the lesion with local graft was performed, and postoperative debridement was still necessary due to the infectious complication. Conclusions: Scarring injuries or ulcerated chronic suffering changes in its evolving clinical aspect should be evaluated as potentially carcinomatous and ulcerations with a tendency to chronicity should be promptly treated with the use of graft, flap or even amputation if required. Scarring areas should be protected and should always consider the potential risk of malignancy associated with chronic venous ulcers of the lower limbs, and repeated biopsies should be performed to rule out the possibility of malignant transformation. The patient in question required extensive resection of the lesion with local graft, which evolved with postoperative necrosis, and debridement and daily dressings were performed until recovery and later, it heals by second intention. (AU)


Objetivo: Revisión narrativa de la literatura e informe de cso clínico de úlcera de Marjolin atendida en el Hospital Escuela Luiz Gioseffi Jannuzzi, haciendo hincapié en la gestión y la evolución de la literatura y cuidados adoptados en el caso discutido. Caso clínico: Hombre de 52 años, con historia de quemadura térmica en la extremidad inferior derecha de unos 25 años, que se desarrolló más tarde con la aparición de lesiones eritematosas, putiforme y pririginosa, convirtiéndose en úlcera y posteriormente ulcerada-vegetante, aumentando de forma progresiva y sin dejar cicatrices asociadas con el dolor y episodios de sangramiento por trauma. Se realiza biopsia incisional histopatología confirmó que este es el carcinoma de células escamosas bien diferenciado desarrollado en el tejido de la cicatriz antigua. Se realizó una resección amplia con lesión sitio de injerto, siendo necesario para llevar a cabo el desbridamiento postoperatorio debido a necrosis. Conclusiones: Cicatrización de heridas crónicas o cambios sufridos ulceradas en su aspecto clínico evoluciona deben ser evaluados como potencialmente carcinomatosa y ulceraciones con tendencia a la cronicidad se debe tratar oportunamente con el uso de injerto, aleta o incluso la amputación si necesario. Áreas de cicatrización siempre deben ser protegidos. El paciente en cuestión requiere una resección extensa del sitio de la lesión con el injerto, que se desarrolló con necrosis después de la operación, que se ha llevado a cabo desbridamiento y curativos diarios para que la recuperación y más tarde, la cicatrización por segunda intención.(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Relatar dois casos de edema hemorrágico agudo da infância, que consiste numa vasculite rara, caracterizada por lesões cutâneas purpúricas e edema periférico, sem envolvimento sistêmico (excetuando- se a febre), que tem início súbito, curso benigno e evolui espontaneamente para a cura. DESCRIÇÃO DOS CASOS: Os autores apresentam dois casos de crianças do sexo masculino, com 11 e 12 meses de idade, que foram atendidos no serviço de urgência por febre e lesões purpúricas exuberantes de agravamento progressivo. O diagnóstico de edema hemorrágico agudo da infância foi feito por exclusão e sustentado pelo fato de que, apesar da impressionante apresentação cutânea, ambos os lactentes apresentavam um ótimo estado geral e a tríade clássica desta entidade: febre, edema e lesões purpúricas da face, orelhas e extremidades. Houve regressão total das lesões cutâneas em aproximadamente uma semana, sem sequelas em ambos os casos. CONCLUSÕES: Existem pouco mais de 100 casos publicados mundialmente de edema hemorrágico agudo da infância. A raridade dessa vasculite pode dever-se a um subdiagnóstico ou diagnóstico equivocado de outras vasculites leucocitoclásticas, principalmente a Púrpura de HenochSchönlein. Além desta, existem outras doenças a considerar no diagnóstico diferencial, como meningococemia, doença de Kawasaki e eritema multiforme, que apresentam similaridades, mas ao mesmo tempo características distintas que permitem excluí-las. É fundamental o diagnóstico oportuno do edema hemorrágico agudo da infância, de modo a evitar exames complementares e terapêuticas desnecessárias, além de tranquilizar a família quanto ao bom prognóstico da doença.


AIMS: To report two cases of acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy, a rare vasculitis characterized by purpuric skin lesions and peripheral edema without systemic involvement (excluding fever), which has a sudden onset and an usually benign course, with spontaneous resolution. CASES DESCRIPTION: The authors describe two cases of male infants, 11 and 12 months old, who were admitted to the emergency department with fever and progressively worsening purpuric lesions. The diagnosis of acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy was made by exclusion and sustained by the fact that, despite the impressive skin presentation, both infants had a good general state and presented the classic triad of this entity: fever, peripheral edema, and purpuric lesions on the face, ears and extremities. Both boys presented total regression of the lesions in about one week, without sequelae. CONCLUSIONS: There are just over 100 cases of hemorrhagic edema of infancy reported worldwide. The rarity of this vasculitis may be due to underdiagnosis or mistaken diagnosis of other leukocytoclastic vasculitis, mostly Henoch-Schönlein purpura. In addition to this, there are other conditions to consider in the differential diagnosis, such as meningococcemia, Kawasaki disease and erythema multiforme, which have similarities, but at the same time distinctive features that allow to exclude them. Timely diagnosis of acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood is crucial to avoid unnecessary therapies and supplementary tests, as well as to reassure the family about the good prognosis of the disease.

ABSTRACT

Evaluar la influencia de la polimerización complementaria y de la adición de fibras de polietileno en la resistencia a la flexión de resinas compuestas. Se confeccionaron 50 cuerpos de prueba con la ayuda de una matriz metálica articulada (ISO 4049). Las muestras se dividieron (n=10) en los siguientes grupos: G1 (grupo control) resina compuesta indirecta; G2 resina compuesta directa; G3 resina compuesta directa + tratamiento térmico; G4 resina compuesta directa + fibra de polietileno; G5 resina compuesta directa + fibra de polietileno + tratamiento térmico. Para evaluar la resistencia a la flexión se aplicó el test de tres puntos (célula de carga 9800N; velocidad 1,0 mm/min). Se aplicó el análisis de varianza (ANOVA) para determinar las diferencias entre los grupos y el test de Dunnett para la comparación con el grupo control (p<0,05). La medida de tensión para el grupo control G1 fue la menor encontrada (100,49 MPa); G2 = 108,33 MPa; G3 = 124,29 MPa; G4 = 106,04 MPa y G5 = 124,08 MPa. El método de polimerización complementada con tratamiento térmico promovió un aumento significativo de la resistencia a la flexión (p = 0,032) de las resinas directas. La utilización de la fibra no mejoró el comportamiento de la resina directa (p = 0,854).


To evaluate the influence of polymerization and the addition of supplementary polyethylene fiber on the flexural strength of composites. 50 bars (25x2x2mm) were prepared with a stainless steel mold (ISO 4049). The samples were divided (n = 10) in G1 (control group) indirect resin composite; G2 direct composite; G3 direct composite + heat treatment; G4 direct composite + polyethylene fiber; G5 direct composite + polyethylene fiber + heat treatment. For flexural test was applied to three points (9800N load cell, speed 1.0 mm/min). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to determine differences between groups and Dunnett's test for the comparison with the control group (p <0.05). The strain average for the control group G1 was the lowest found (100.49 MPa); G2 = 108.33 MPa; G3 = 124.29 MPa; G4 = 106.04 MPa; and G5 = 124.08MPa. The method of polymerization in autoclave additional significant increases in flexural strength (p = 0.032) of direct resins. But the use of fiber did not improve the performance of direct resin (p = 0.854).

ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis and cryptococcosis are infectious diseases that can result in the formation of single or multiple nodules in immunocompetent patients. Exposure to silica is known to raise the risk of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We report the case of an elderly man with no history of opportunistic infections and no clinical evidence of immunodeficiency but with a six-month history of dry cough and nocturnal wheezing. A chest X-ray revealed a mass measuring 5.0 × 3.5 cm in the right upper lobe. The diagnostic approach of the mass revealed tuberculosis. The histopathological analysis of the surrounding parenchyma reveled silicosis and cryptococcosis. Cryptococcosis was also found in masses identified in the mediastinal lymph nodes. The surgical approach was indicated because of the degree of pleuropulmonary involvement, the inconclusive results obtained with the invasive and noninvasive methods applied, and the possibility of malignancy. This case illustrates the difficulty inherent to the assessment of infectious or inflammatory pulmonary pseudotumors, the differential diagnosis of which occasionally requires a radical surgical approach. Despite the presence of respiratory symptoms for six months, the first chest X-ray was performed only at the end of that period. We discuss the possible pathogenic mechanisms that might have led to the combination of three types of granulomatous lesions in the same lobe, and we emphasize the need for greater awareness of atypical presentations of pulmonary tuberculosis.


A tuberculose e a criptococose são infecções que podem cursar com a formação de nódulos isolados ou múltiplos em pacientes imunocompetentes. A exposição à sílica reconhecidamente eleva o risco de doença pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Apresentamos o caso de um paciente idoso sem antecedentes de infecções oportunistas, sem evidência clínica atual de imunodeficiência, com história de tosse seca e sibilos, principalmente noturnos, com duração de seis meses, cuja radiografia de tórax evidenciava uma imagem tumoral medindo 5,0 × 3,5 cm em lobo superior do pulmão direito. A abordagem diagnóstica da massa evidenciou tratar-se de tuberculose, e a análise histopatológica do parênquima circunvizinho revelou a presença de criptococose e de silicose. Criptococose foi diagnosticada também em massas linfonodais mediastinais. A conduta cirúrgica foi imposta pelo grau de comprometimento pleuropulmonar localizado, pelo caráter inconclusivo das abordagens diagnósticas invasivas e não invasivas realizadas, assim como pela possibilidade de tratar-se de neoplasia. Este caso ilustra a dificuldade inerente ao diagnóstico diferencial de massas pulmonares de natureza infecciosa ou inflamatória simulando neoplasia, o que ocasionalmente impõe uma conduta cirúrgica radical. Apesar da presença de sintomas respiratórios por seis meses, a primeira radiografia do tórax só foi realizada tardiamente. São discutidos os possíveis mecanismos patogenéticos que possam ter levado a associação de três tipos de granulomatose no mesmo lobo pulmonar e é enfatizada a necessidade de uma maior divulgação das apresentações atípicas da tuberculose pulmonar.

ABSTRACT

O cisto ósseo simples é considerado um pseudocisto, e, quando presente nos ossos da face, acomete, com maior frequência, a região de corpo e sínfise mandibular de pacientes na segunda década de vida, sendo raros os casos em côndilo mandibular isolado. É geralmente assintomático, sendo diagnosticado durante exames radiográficos de rotina. Embora a sua etiologia seja controversa, uma possível origem traumática pré-lesional é a mais aceita. As formas de tratamentos variam desde procedimentos como acompanhamento, curetagem até ressecções. A exploração cirúrgica e coleta de material para análise microscópica são recomendadas para confirmação do diagnóstico. Este trabalho relata um raro caso de cisto ósseo simples no côndilo mandibular em paciente do sexo feminino, 53 anos, tratada por meio da técnica de osteotomia vertical do ramo mandibular com condilectomia alta e posterior osteoplastia condilar.


The simple bone cyst is considered a pseudocyst that, when present in the bones of the face, most commonly affects the mandible body and symphysis region of patients in the second decade of life, being rare the cases in mandibular condyle isolated. It is usually asymptomatic, being diagnosed during routine radiographic exams. Although its etiology remains controversy, a possible traumatic pre-lesional is the most accepted. The forms of treatments ranging from procedures such as monitoring, curettage until resections. Surgical exploration and collection of material for microscopic examination are recommended to confirm the diagnosis. This paper report a rare case of simple bone cyst in the mandibular condyle in female patient, 53 year-old, treated by vertical mandibular ramus osteotomy with high condylectomy and posterior condylar osteoplasty.

ABSTRACT

Entre las lesiones cervicales no cariosas, la abfracción se define como la pérdida patológica de la estructura del diente en la región de unión cemento-esmalte, debido a la flexión producida por las fuerzas oclusales excéntricas, generalmente vinculadas a algunas interferencias oclusales, contactos prematuros, bruxismo y apretamiento. El presente artículo es un informe de un caso de una paciente, RFG, de 47 años, sexo femenino, que asistió a la clínica del "Servicio ATM" con la queja principal del bruxismo y la recesión gingival. En la historia clínica se informó de las actividades parafuncionales desde hace 2 años, además de episodios de depresión y ansiedad. En el examen clínico se observaron lesiones de abfracción en todos los elementos posteriores, hipertonicidad del masetero y puntos dolorosos de baja intensidad en el pterigoideo y en el esternocleidomastoideo. Para controlar los síntomas, el tratamiento inicial fue el uso de una férula neuromiorelajante. Teniendo en cuenta las manifestaciones sintomáticas relacionadas con las estructuras del sistema estomatognático, los hábitos parafuncionales y el perjuicio de los aspectos psicosociales, este trabajo tiene como objetivo establecer una relación entre las lesiones de abfracción, los factores etiológicos y las manifestaciones clínicas del trastorno temporomandibular que se incluyen en este informe de caso.


Among the noncarious cervical lesions, the abfraction is defined as the pathological loss of tooth structure at the cementoenamel junction due to the bending generated by occlusal eccentric forces, usually linked to some occlusal interference, premature contacts, bruxism and tight. This article show the case of patient RFG, 47 years old, female, who attended the "SERVICIO ATM" clinic with main complaint of bruxism and gingival retraction. In anamnesis, parafuncional activity was recorded 2 years ago, and episodes of depression and anxiety.In the clinical examination were observed abfraction lesions in all posterior teeth, hypertonicity of the masseter and painful light sites in medial pterygoid and sternocleidomastoid. For control of symptoms, initial treatment was established with occlusal plate. In view of the symptomatic manifestations involving structures of the stomatognathic system, parafunctional habits and commitment to the psychosocial aspects, this work aims to make a brief association, so little reported in the literature, among the lesions of abfraction, the etiological factors and clinical manifestations of the temporomandibular disorder found in this case.

ABSTRACT

O resíduo de nutrientes de um cultivo pode ser significativo para a produtividade daqueles em sucessão. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito residual da adubação fosfatada sobre a produtividade e teores de nutrientes na folha índice do girassol cultivado em sucessão ao algodoeiro. Instalou-se o experimento em solo Neossolo Quartzarênico. Adotou-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados, esquema fatorial, com três repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de doses de P (60 e 120 kg ha-1 de P2O5) x quatro formas de parcelamento PS, P1, P2 e P3 (100/0; 80/20; 60/40; 40/60% da dose aplicada em semeadura e aos 35 DAE em cobertura, respectivamente), e um tratamento sem aplicação do P. O fertilizante fosfatado foi aplicado no algodoeiro cultivado antes do girassol. Foram avaliados o número de dias para os estádios R1, R5 e R6, o número de folhas e altura de plantas em R1 e R5, a massa de mil aquênios, o teor de nutriente na folha índice e a produtividade do girassol. A aplicação da dose de 60 kg ha-1 de P2O5 no algodoeiro, permitiu o alcance de produtividade de 2232 kg ha-1 na cultura do girassol em sucessão. A aplicação de maior parcela da dose de P, em cobertura no algodoeiro (P3 = 60%), resultou em maior produtividade da cultura do girassol em sucessão, bem como em maiores teores foliares de P e de Ca. Os teores foliares de N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B e de Mn no girassol foram positivamente influenciados pela aplicação fósforo no algodoeiro cultivado anteriormente.


The residual nutrients of a crop can be significant for the productivity of other crops in succession. The objective was to evaluate the residual effect of phosphate fertilization on productivity and nutrient content in the index leaf of cultivated sunflower in succession to cotton. The experiment was installed in Quartzanic Neossoil. We adopted the randomized block design in factorial scheme with three replications. The treatments consisted of P doses (60 and 120 kg ha-1 of P2O5) x split four ways PS, P1, P2, and P3 (100/0, 80/20, 60/40, 40/60% of the applied dose at sowing and at 35 DAE in coverage respectively) and a treatment without P application. Phosphate fertilizer was applied to grown cotton before sunflower. We evaluated the number of days for R1, R5, and R6 stages, the number of leaves, and plant height in R1 and R5, the mass of a thousand seeds, the nutrient content in the index leaf, and sunflower productivity. The application of 60 kg ha-1 dose of P2O5 in cotton has allowed the productivity achievement of 2232 kg ha-1 in sunflower crop in succession. The greater portion of P dose application for covering the cotton plant (P3 = 60%) resulted in higher productivity of sunflower in succession, as well as in higher foliar content of P and Ca. N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B, and Mn sunflower foliar content were positively influenced by phosphorus application on cotton grown previously

ABSTRACT

A left paraduodenal hernia is a protrusion of the small intestine through the paraduodenal fossa, a congenital defect situated to the left of the fourth portion of the duodenum. Imaging studies often play a central role in diagnosing left paraduodenal hernias, as they are not easily identified clinically. Surgery is the treatment of choice. We report a case of left paraduodenal hernia in a 27-year-old female patient. The patient had shown no symptoms until six days before hospitalization. A CT scan suggested the diagnosis of left paraduodenal hernia. After an unsuccessful laparoscopic attempt, a laparotomy was performed. Open surgery consisted in removing adhesions between the hernia and peritoneum, reducing jejunal loops and closing the paraduodenal fossa. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the third postoperative day.

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a aplicação de P nos cultivos irrigados ou de sequeiro sobre a absorção de P e produtividade do algodoeiro herbáceo. O experimento foi conduzido no Instituto Federal do Norte de Minas (IFNMG), Campus Januária. Os tratamentos consistiram de três doses de P (0, 50 e 120 kg ha-1 de P2O5) e de três sistemas de cultivo (aspersão, gotejamento e sequeiro). Adotou-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial, com três repetições. Aos 80 dias após a emergência (DAE), coletaram-se folhas, caules e estruturas reprodutivas. Cada órgão foi seco, triturado, e o teor de P determinado. Calculou-se o conteúdo de P de cada órgão. Determinou-se o teor de macro e micronutrientes na quinta folha completamente expandida do ápice para a base (folha índice). Nesta folha, o teor de P e S foi maior nas plantas irrigadas por gotejamento. A maior produtividade foi obtida com a dose de 120 kg ha1 de P2O5 com aumento de 1.581 kg ha-1, em relação à testemunha. A irrigação por aspersão auferiu aumento de 1.658 kg ha-1 de algodão em caroço em relação ao cultivo sequeiro. As plantas irrigadas apresentaram maior conteúdo de P na parte aérea em comparação àquelas sob sequeiro. A irrigação, independentemente do método, e as maiores doses de P aumentaram o número de estruturas reprodutivas, o de capulhos por planta e a produtividade de algodão em caroço.


This paper objective was to evaluate P levels in irrigated crops or rainfed in productivity and P uptake by cotton plant. The experiment was conducted at the Instituto Federal do Norte de Minas (IFNMG), Campus Januária. The treatments consisted of three P rates (0, 50 and 120 kg ha-1 of P2O5) and three cropping systems (Sprinkler, Dripping and Rainfed). It was adopted the randomized block design in factorial design with three replications. At 80 days after emergence (DAE), leaves, stems, and reproductive structures were collected. Each organ was dried, crushed, and P content determined. P content of each organ was calculated. The macro and micronutrients levels in the fifth fully expanded leaf from the apex to the base (leaf index) were determined. The P and S contents were higher in irrigated plants by dripping. The P and Mg highest values were obtained with 120 kg ha-1 de P2O5. The irrigated plants had higher P content in shoots compared to those under rainfed. Regardless of the method, irrigation and the highest P rates increased the quantity of reproductive structures, the quantity of the bolls per plant, and seed cotton productivity
