RESUMO
High potency growth promoter implants (HGPs) are widely used under feedlot conditions but there are few reports under grazing conditions. The study's goal was to assess the effect of HGPs on the average daily gain of steers fattened in pastures. A total of 57 crossbreed steers (Hereford × Angus)-initial body weight = 356.65 kg ± 5.04 (SEM)-were randomly allocated to one of three groups: Control without HGP (n = 19), Synovex group (n = 17), and Revalor group (n = 21). The fattening period was 67 days using paddocks of Lolium perenne L. and Trifolium repens L. Body weight was recorded three times in the period. The data were analyzed using an analysis of covariance with a level of significance of 5%. The average daily gain (ADG) (1.55 ± 0.07 and 1.48 ± 0.09 kg/d) and the total weight gain (103.4 ± 4.9 and 99.2 ± 5.8 kg) were similar for Revalor and Synovex, respectively (p > 0.05). Moreover, HGP groups showed higher ADG and total weight gain (p < 0.01) than the control group (ADG = 0.93 ± 0.08 kg/d and a total weight gain of 62.2 ± 5.2 kg). Final body weights were 527.8 ± 8.5 kg and 512.2 ± 9.9 kg for Revalor and Synovex, respectively; and 479.9 ± 10.1 kg for Control. In conclusion, grazing-finished steers showed better performance when high potency HGPs were used, improving the ADG and final live body weight, generating a marginal income that justifies the use of the technology under grazing conditions.
RESUMO
We describe a case of painless progressive loss of vision in a 15 years old male patient with Alport syndrome and diffuse Leiomyomatosis. After a comprehensive history and ocular examination, a diagnosis of bilateral posterior subcapsular cataracts was given. Patient underwent cataract extraction. His best corrected post-operative visual acuity was 20/25 in both eyes. We conclude that posterior subcapsular cataracts may lead to painless and progressive loss of vision in patients with Alport syndrome and Diffuse Leiomyomatosis.
Nós descrevemos o caso de perda visual progressiva indolor em um paciente de 15 anos, /sexo masculino, com Síndrome de Alport e Leiomiomatose difusa. Após história completa e exame oftalmológico, foi feito o diagnóstico de catarata subcapsular posterior bilateral. O paciente foi submetido à cirurgia de catarata. Nós concluímos que cataratas subcapsulares posteriores podem levar a perda visual progressiva e indolor em pacientes com Síndrome de Alport e Leiomiomatose Difusa.
RESUMO
El presente proyecto tiene por objeto: diseñar e implementar un sistema de transmision de datos, mediante la computadora, que pueda ser adicionado en la señal de video de un canal de television. Estudiar la caracteristica de la composicion de una señal de television como fuente de investigacion. Hacer que un canal de television preste un nuevo servicio de transmision de datos, envio de teletexto, a traves de su señal de video.
