RESUMO

Sewage sludge (SS) has nutritional contents and has been implemented in the cultivation of seedlings. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of Malpighia emarginata DC. seedlings produced in different substrates with SS. Treatments were implemented with the addition of SS, and after 180 days seedling the characteristics were measured: aerial part and root system length, stem base diameter, number of leaves, fresh and dry mass of aerial part and root, and total biomass. The Dickson Quality Index (DQI) was calculated and the macro and micronutrient content of the aerial part and root. The accumulation of macronutrients in the root system followed the order of N>K>P>Ca>Mg>S, and aerial part of N>Ca>K>P>Mg>S, in the two vegetative structures N and S were in lower concentration. For micronutrients, the accumulation in the root system occurred with Fe>Zn>Mn>Cu>B, and aerial part with Fe>Mn>Zn>B>Cu. It was noted that in the two vegetative structures the Fe content was more concentrated. The use of SS in the substrate formulation proved effective in obtaining viable seedlings for field planting, being recommended the treatment with 60% SS + 40% organic compost.

RESUMO

RATIONALE: Schizophrenic patients show perceptual deficits, which may be detected in visual illusion tasks. Previous studies found that chronic patients show increased sensitivity to Müller-Lyer illusion as the disorder progresses, although there are a few conflicting reports in the scientific literature. To address these issues, moderate and chronic schizophrenic patients were tested on the Brentano version of the Müller-Lyer illusion task. Their performance was compared to first-degree relatives and unrelated matched controls. Chronic patients showed increased susceptibility to the illusion. Performance on the visual illusion task was not correlated to the number of years since disease onset, medication or (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale) PANSS scores. The lack of association between illusion sensitivity and PANSS score may reflect the absence of the perceptual dimension in this scale. Based on these results, we suggest that susceptibility to the Müller-Lyer illusion is associated with the stage of schizophrenia rather than disease length.

Resumo O lodo de esgoto (LE) possui teor nutricional e tem sido aplicado no cultivo de mudas. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de mudas de Malpighia emarginata DC. produzidas em diferentes substratos com LE. Os tratamentos foram implantados com adição de LE, e após 180 dias de semeadura as seguintes características das mudas foram avaliadas: comprimento da parte aérea e do sistema radicular, diâmetro da base do caule, número de folhas, massa fresca e seca da parte aérea e da raiz, biomassa total. O Índice de Qualidade de Dickson (IQD) foi calculado junto aos teores de macro e micronutrientes da parte aérea e da raiz. O acúmulo de macronutrientes no sistema radicular seguiu a ordem de N>K>P>Ca>Mg>S, e parte aérea N>Ca>K>P>Mg>S, nas duas estruturas vegetativas N e S estiveram em menor concentração. Para os micronutrientes, o acúmulo no sistema radicular ocorreu Fe>Zn>Mn>Cu>B, e na parte aérea Fe>Mn>Zn>B>Cu. Observou-se que nas duas estruturas vegetativas o teor de Fe foi mais concentrado. A utilização de LE na formulação do substrato mostrou-se eficaz na obtenção de mudas viáveis para o plantio em campo, sendo recomendado o tratamento com 60% de LE + 40% de composto orgânico.

RESUMO

This retrospective case-control study compared inflammatory and structural damage in the temporomandibular joint of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and its subtypes and healthy patients using the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials (OMERACT) and EuroTMjoint classifications. Correlations between the scores of the two classifications and time of diagnosis were evaluated. Twenty-nine JIA patients and 48 age-matched healthy participants were examined. TMJ images on each side were considered individually. Oligoarticular and polyarticular subtypes were present in 44.8% and 55.2% of patients, respectively. The JIA group presented a higher frequency and more severe signs of inflammatory and structural changes (P < 0.05), except for effusion (P = 0.83). The polyarticular subtype showed a higher change intensity. The time of JIA diagnosis was not correlated with inflammatory and structural changes. Positive correlations between inflammation and bone deformity scores were observed for the EuroTMjoint classification (r = 0.462, P < 0.001; low correlation) and OMERACT classification (r = 0.737, P < 0.001; high correlation). Positive correlations between the OMERACT and EuroTMjoint classifications were found for inflammation score (r = 0.907, P < 0.001; very high correlation) and bone deformity score (r = 0.854, P < 0.001; high correlation). Both classifications showed a higher frequency and intensity of inflammation and bone deformity in JIA patients. The results of this study suggest that the appropriate management of inflammation may reduce the potential for structural damage to the TMJ.

RESUMO

Neotropical primates are susceptible to several parasitic diseases, the most relevant of which is toxoplasmosis. The black-faced lion tamarin is one of the most endangered callitrichid, with no more than 400 individuals in the wild. A young specimen of black-faced lion tamarin died acutely after being rescued and sent to the Sorocaba Zoological Park. This is the first report of acute fatal toxoplasmosis in L. caissara in Brazil.

Os primatas neotropicais são suscetíveis a inúmeras enfermidades parasitárias, sendo a mais relevante a toxoplasmose. O mico-leão-de-cara-preta é um dos calitriquídeos mais ameaçados no mundo, com aproximadamente 400 indivíduos em estado selvagem. Um exemplar de mico-leão-de-cara-preta, jovem veio à óbito de forma aguda após ser resgatado e enviado ao Zoológico do interior de São Paulo. Este é o primeiro relato de toxoplasmose aguda fatal em L. caissara no mundo.

RESUMO

Hemangiomas são neoplasias de classificação benigna e origem mesenquimal do endotélio vascular. Um espécime de anta-brasileira (Tapirus terrestris), macho, com três anos de idade, procedente de Sorocaba-SP apresentou nódulo em região prepucial de aspecto pedunculado, não-pigmentado e de consistência firme. A neoformação foi acompanhada durante 28 dias, observando-se aumento de quatro vezes do diâmetro durante este intervalo de tempo. No 28° dia, procedeu-se a exérese do nódulo para processamento e realização da análise histopatológica, deste modo, chegou-se ao diagnóstico de hemangioma cutâneo. Este caso trata-se do primeiro relato do mundo de hemangioma na espécie.

Haemangiomas are neoplasms of benign mesenchymal origin in the vascular endothelium. A male lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris) specimen, male, three years old, from Sorocaba-SP presented a prepucial nodule with a pedunculated aspect, non-pigmented and firm consistency. The neoformation was followed up for 28 days and a diameter increase of four times was observed during this time interval. On the 28th day, the nodule was excised for processing and histopathological analysis, thus reaching a diagnosis of cutaneous haemangioma. This case is the world’s first report of haemangioma in this species.
