Objetivo. Determinar a existência de aglomerados de municípios (clusters) com alto risco para sífilis congênita (SC) no Brasil e descrever a tendência temporal da doença no país, comparando a população de crianças cujas mães realizaram o pré-natal com aquelas cujas mães não realizaram esse controle. Métodos. Este estudo ecológico utilizou dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC). Para a análise de aglomerados, a estatística de varredura Kulldorff foi aplicada à população de risco. A significância estatística foi determinada pelo logaritmo da razão de verossimilhança utilizando a distribuição discreta de Poisson. Para a análise das tendências das taxas de detecção do agravo, utilizou-se a regressão de Prais-Winsten. A análise foi realizada com os programas SatScan 9.4 e Stata 14.0. Resultados. Clusters com taxas de detecção de 41,3, 44,4 e 188,1 casos/10 000 nascidos vivos foram identificados em 2001, 2009 e 2017, respectivamente. Em 2001, as taxas foram 8 vezes maiores nos clusters do que no restante do país; em 2009, foram 3,3 vezes maiores; e, em 2017, 2,5. Detectou-se uma tendência crescente na infecção por SC em todas as regiões e unidades da federação. As taxas foram 8,53 vezes maiores nos neonatos cujas mães não realizaram pré-natal (243,3 casos/1 000 nascidos vivos vs. 28,4 casos/1 000 nascidos vivos em mães com pré-natal). Conclusões. A identificação de aglomerados de municípios com alto risco para SC e de tendências crescentes de infecção por SC em todo o país, mesmo na presença de pré-natal, indicam a necessidade de melhoria nas ações de saúde pública para o combate dessa doença.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of feeding licuri cake to lambs on the sensory characteristics, physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid (FA) profile of meat from lambs. Forty-four crossbred Santa Ines lambs (21.2 ± 2.70 kg body weight; 6 months old) were housed in individual pens and fed 4 experimental diets, containing 0, 8, 16 or 24% licuri cake (DM basis). The averages concentrations of ash (11.4), pH (5.82), lightness (38.1), cooking loss (26.8) or shear-force resistance (2.48) of lamb meat were not affected by the licuri cake diets. However, there was a linear decrease (P < 0.01) of redness and chroma indexes, lipid and protein contents, whereas the moisture content of the meat (P < 0.001) increased linearly due to the inclusion of licuri cake in lambs’ diets. The licuri cake inclusion in the lambs feed linearly increased (P < 0.05) the fatty acids concentrations of C12:0, C17:0, C20:0, C20:1, C18:3, C20:3, C20:4 and ΣPUFA/ΣMUFA ratio, Σω–3 and atherogenicity index (AI). However, C18:1 cis, C20:2, C20:5, ΣMUFA, ΣMUFA/ΣSFA and Σω–6:Σω–3 ratios in the longissimus lumborum of lambs linearly decreased by licuri cake inclusion. There was a quadratic increase (P < 0.05) on C14:0 (maximum point 4.94 g/100 g FAME to 14.5% licuri inclusion), C16:1 (maximum point 8.59 g/100 g FAME to 10.7% licuri inclusion) and enzymatic activities of Δ9-desaturase C16 (maximum point 27.5 g/100 g FAME to 10.6% licuri inclusion) in the longissimus lumborum of lambs fed due to increased concentrations of licuri cake. However, there was a quadratic decrease (P = 0.04) in ΣPUFA/ΣSFA ratio with minimum concentration of 0.63 g/100 g FAME to 11.1% inclusion. The inclusion of licuri cake in the lambs diet did not change (P > 0.05) the concentrations of SFA C10:0, C15:0, C16:0, C18:0, C14:1, MUFA C18:1 trans, PUFA C18:2 cis, CLA, total sum of ΣSFA and ΣPUFA, desirable fatty acids (DFA), hypocholesterolemic:hypercholesterolemic index, and elongase and Δ9-desaturase C18 enzymes. Licuri cake in the lamb diet improved (P < 0.05) meat aroma, flavor and overall acceptance by consumers. Licuri cake inclusion in the diet of lambs improves sensory attributes of meat and the meat fatty acid profile becomes nutritionally healthier for the human diet because do not affect major FA of meat; however, the growth performance of finishing lambs is reduced.
Objective: to analyze trends of hospitalization for ambulatory care-sensitive cardiovascular conditions (ACSCC). Methods: this was an ecological study of time series of rates of hospitalization for ACSCC in the municipality of Senador Canedo, GO, Brazil, 2001-2016; we used data from the Hospital Information System and population estimates provided by the Inter-Agency Health Information Network (RIPSA) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE); the Prais-Winsten method was used to analyze trends. Results: we used data on 3,244 hospitalizations for ACSCC; there was decreasing trend in the rate of hospitalizations for ACSCC (annual increase rate [AIR] =-8.14-95%CI-11.78;-4.35) and in the heart failure rate (AIR =-12.07-95%CI-14.75;-9.30); hospitalization rate time trends for hypertension, angina and cerebrovascular diseases were stationary. Conclusion: rates of hospitalization for ACSCC and heart failure decreased, however rates for hypertension, angina and cerebrovascular diseases remained constant.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the inclusion of sunflower cake in the diets of lambs on meat quality. Forty male, uncastrated Santa Ines lambs with an initial average body weight of 20.9 ± 0.41 kg were used in a completely randomized design with four treatments. The lambs were fed 500 g/kg hay and 500 g/kg concentrate (corn, soybean meal, urea, ammonium sulfate and sunflower cake) in their diet, and the experimental treatments were 0, 10, 20, and 30% sunflower cake inclusion (DM basis). The inclusion of sunflower cake in the diet did not affect (P > 0.05) the content of ash and protein, overall acceptance, or sensory aroma of the lamb meat. Total lipids and moisture content of the longissimus lumborum muscle increased linearly (P ≤ 0.05) with sunflower cake inclusion. The C16:0, ΣSFA, ΣMUFA:ΣSFA ratio, Δ–9 desaturase enzyme and atherogenicity index in the longissimus lumborum muscle decreased linearly (P ≤ 0.05) with sunflower cake inclusion in lamb diets, whereas a linear increase occurred (P ≤ 0.05) in C12:0, C18:0, ΣMUFA, ΣPUFA, ΣPUFA:ΣSFA and ΣPUFA:ΣMUFA ratios, Σn–6, Σn–3, desirable fatty acids, h:H index, elongase activity, and flavor, tenderness and juiciness sensory qualities in lamb meat. Among the panelists, the highest preference (35.9%) was for meat with 30% sunflower cake inclusion in the diet. Sunflower cake up to 30% of total DM can be included in the diet of Santa Ines lambs, because lipid nutritional quality and the sensory qualities of the lamb meat increase, in addition to improvement in nutraceutical compounds, such as the CLA content, and in the AI, PUFA:SFA and PUFA:MUFA ratios, desirable fatty acids content and h:H ratio, which are beneficial to the health of consumers.
Objetivos: verificar o número e as causas de hospitalizações por quedas em idosos brasileiros, além dos gastos federais do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), no período de 2000 a 2018.Métodos: trata-se de um estudo ecológico, utilizando informações disponíveis na base de dados do Departamento de Informática do SUS. Foram coletados dados de idosos (≥60 anos) que internaram no SUS devido às quedas no período de 2000 a 2018 no Brasil. Extraíram-se o número de hospitalizações no País e nas regiões (Norte, Nordeste, Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste), as causas das quedas (Classificação Estatística Internacional de Doenças e Problemas Relacionados à Saúde – 10) e o valor de gastos federais. Para fins estatísticos, utilizou-se análise descritiva.Resultados: totalizaram-se 1,48 milhões de hospitalizações por quedas em idosos no Brasil, com uma taxa de 38,6 a cada 10 mil. As principais causas desses registros no DATASUS foram as “quedas sem especificações”, as “outras quedas no mesmo nível” e as “quedas no mesmo nível por escorregão, tropeção ou passos em falsos”. Em relação às localidades, os idosos pertencentes às regiões Sudeste (47,1), Sul (44,1) e Centro-Oeste (40,4) foram aqueles que apresentaram maiores medianas das taxas de hospitalizações por quedas no período analisado. Entretanto, o Nordeste (variação%=0,4), o Sul (variação%=0,2) e o Centro-Oeste (variação%=0,2) demonstraram maiores elevações desse indicador ao longo dos 18 anos, enquanto apenas a região Norte apresentou redução (variação%=-0,5). A mediana de gastos hospitalares federais (milhões) foi de R$135,58, variando de R$112,89 até R$194,98.Conclusões: houve aumento das taxas de hospitalizações por quedas em idosos no SUS em quase todas as unidades federativas. As causas mais frequentes foram as “quedas sem especificações”, as “outras quedas no mesmo nível” e as “quedas no mesmo nível por escorregão, tropeção ou passos em falsos”. Além disso, ocorreu elevação dos gastos hospitalares federais ao longo do período no País.
This study examined the use of the Gompertz, Groot, monomolecular, Richards and two-compartment-logistic mathematical models to investigate the kinetics of in vitro gas production of diets composed of combinations of Gliricidia hay or silage. In addition, the effects of Gliricidia hay or silage inclusion on the in vitro cumulative gas production of these diets were evaluated. Rumen fermentation kinetics were analyzed by the in vitro cumulative gas production methodology. The model parameters were estimated using the Gauss Newton method, with the exception of the Richards model, which was used by Marquardt’s algorithm. Model fit was assessed using the determination coefficient, F test for parameters identity, concordance correlation coefficient, root mean square error of prediction, and decomposition of mean square error of prediction into mean error, systematic bias and random error. The models were compared for accuracy (pairwise mean square error of prediction) and precision (delta Akaike’s information criterion). All model evaluation and comparison statistics were calculated using Model Evaluation System software version 3.2.2. The Groot and Richards models did not differ from each other (P>0.05) and were the most precise and accurate (P<0.05). Therefore, the Groot model was selected due to its better accuracy and precision and easier access to the parameters. The inclusion of Gliricidia silage in the diet resulted in an increase in the time to obtain the maximum rate of degradation and in the time after incubation when half of the asymptotic level was reached. The Groot model is recommended to estimate the average curve. Dietary inclusion of Gliricidia silage alters the gas production curve due to the longer time required for the diet to reach the maximum rate of degradation, this can increase the time the diet remains in rumen and promote a reduction in the consumption.
