ABSTRACT
Introdução: As interações entre fármacos e nutrientes acarretam reações adversas e/ou ineficácia da farmacoterapia, além de provocar prejuízos no estado nutricional, sobretudo em idosos. Objetivo: Descrever a taxa de interações potenciais teóricas entre nutrientes da dieta e fármacos prescritos para idosos hospitalizados por Síndrome Coronariana Aguda em um hospital de ensino. Material e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com delineamento descritivo e abordagem qualitativa que analisou 607 prescrições no período entre abril e julho de 2016, utilizando-se as bases de dados informatizadas Micromedex e Drugs.com. Resultados: Foram identificadas 4.313 interações distribuídas em 61 tipos entre os fármacos prescritos e nutrientes. Conclusão: Verifica-se alta taxa de interações entre fármacos e nutrientes nas prescrições para idosos com Síndrome Coronariana Aguda. Apesar do fato de que alguns nutrientes não são rotineiramente consumidos, é fundamental a revisão da prescrição e dos componentes da dieta pelo farmacêutico para evitar problemas relacionados às interações.
Introduction: Food-drug interactions result in adverse reactions and/or ineffectiveness of pharmacotherapy. Furthermore, these interactions cause nutritional losses, especially in elderly people. Objective: Describe the rate of potential theoretical interactions between nutrients of dietary and drugs prescribed for elderly people hospitalized with Acute Coronary Syndrome in a teaching hospital. Material and Methods: This isa transversal, descriptive study using a qualitative approach. We analyzed 607 prescriptions from April to July 2016. We used databases such as Micromedex and Drugs.com.Results: Weidentified 4,313 interactions, which were distributed in 61 types between the prescribed drugs and food. Conclusion: There is a high rate of food-drug interactions in the prescriptions for the elderly people with Acute Coronary Syndrome. Despite the fact that some nutrients are not routinely consumed, it is very important the revision of the prescription and diet components by the pharmacist to avoid problems related to interactions.

In the present paper, 27 chromatic patterns of the specie Pachycoris torridus (Scopoli, 1772) were grouped and three new patterns are described. Because of this high phenotypic polymorphism, P. torridus already been registered eight times as a new specie, highlighting the importance of the application of different tools to assist in taxonomy of this hemipterous of economic importance.
No presente artigo, 27 padroË es croma´ ticos da espe´cie Pachycoris torridus (Scopoli, 1772) saËo agrupados e treËs novos padroË es saËo descritos. Devido a esse grande polimorfismo fenoti´pico, P. torridus ja´ foi registrado oito vezes como espe´cie nova, o que ressalta a importaËncia da aplicac¸aËo de diferentes ferramentas para auxiliar na taxonomia desse hemi´ptero de importaËncia econoËmica.
ABSTRACT
Spittlebugs annually infest pastures and cause severe damage, representing a serious problem for the tropical American beef cattle industry. Spittlebugs are an important biotic constraint to forage production and there is a lack of cytogenetic data for this group of insects. For these reasons, we conducted this work, in which the spermatogenesis and nucleolar behavior of Deois flavopicta, Mahanarva fimbriolata and Notozulia entreriana were studied. The males possessed testes in the shape of a "bunch of grapes"; a variable number of testicular lobes per individual and polyploid nuclei composed of several heteropycnotic bodies. A heteropycnotic area was located in the periphery of the nucleus (prophase I); the chiasmata were terminal or interstitial; metaphases I were circular or linear and anaphase showed late migration of the sex chromosome. The chromosome complement had 2n = 19, except for N. entreriana (2n = 15); the spermatids were round with heteropycnotic material in the center and elongated with conspicuos chromatin. The analysis of testes after silver nitrate staining showed polyploid nuclei with three large and three smaller nucleolar bodies. Early prophase cells had an intensely stained nucleolar body located close to the chromatin and another less evident body located away from the chromatin. The nucleolar bodies disintegrated during diplotene. Silver staining occurred in two autosomes, in terminal and subterminal locations, the latter probably corresponding to the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs). The spermatids were round with a round nucleolar body and silver staining was observed in the medial and posterior region of the elongated part of the spermatid head.
