“…Granulação é uma desordem fisiológica que resulta na redução do suco extraível ou até mesmo no secamento, devido à formação de gel nas vesículas (Ritenour et al, 2004). Esta alteração geralmente é mais intensa nos frutos maiores, nas árvores jovens, nas regiões de clima seco e, ou, nas árvores enxertadas sobre porta-enxertos vigorosos (Zaragoza,1993).…”

A ausência de sementes em frutos cítricos é uma característica altamente desejável e há demanda crescente por esses frutos, por consumidores mais exigentes. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se, avaliar algumas características físicoquímicas dos frutos de oito variedades apirênicas, recém-introduzidas na Zona da Mata Mineira. Avaliaram-se cinco frutos de cada uma das três plantas que compõem cada acesso no matrizeiro. Os frutos foram colhidos e levados ao laboratório, onde foram determinados a coloração da casca e polpa, altura e diâmetro do fruto, espessura da casca, presença de granulação, contagem do número de gomos, rendimento de suco, ATT, SST e ratio (SST/ATT). As variedades 'Okitsu' e 'Ortanique' apresentaram melhor coloração de casca e polpa. A granulação foi observada em 'Okitsu', 'Clemenules', 'Nova' e 'Marisol'. 'Salustiana', 'Navelina' e 'Ortanique' apresentaram os melhores rendimentos de suco e ausência total de granulação. Os maiores teores de SST e ATT foram observados em 'Salustiana' e 'Clemenules'. O ratio, no intervalo considerado adequado, foi observado nas variedades 'Navelina' e 'Navelate', caracterizando a melhor adaptação. 'Ortanique' teve bom desempenho em todas as características avaliadas, exceto no ratio, por sua baixa acidez. As variedades 'Navelina', 'Navelate' e 'Ortanique', no conjunto geral das características, foram as que apresentaram frutos de melhor qualidade.

“…No statistically significant association was found between temperature and ischemic stroke at the state level; however, significant regional variations were identified. For example, the Tampa region showed a significant positive association between heat index (above the reference level at 94 °F) and stroke (FDH 2015a (Aslar et al 2001;Ritenour et al 2008). The magnitude and impacts of these extreme weather events, their severity, and the extent of the effects are influenced by many different factors.…”

Key Messages• Florida is highly vulnerable to climate-sensitive hazards (e.g. sea level rise, heat waves, storm surge, and hurricanes), which have a wide range of human health effects.• The health effects can be direct, such as storm/temperature related illnesses, injuries, and deaths; or indirect, such as waterborne, food-borne, and vector-borne diseases; or take social and economic pathways, such as stress and mental illness.• The health effects exhibit substantial regional disparities across the state.• Policies focused on health surveillance and research on knowledge gaps between human exposure to the hazards and health effects are much needed.

“…Blunt trauma occurs when a person is thrown by a massive opisthotonic contraction caused by the lightning strike. 8,9 Severity of injury are of three types: mild, moderate and severe lightning injury. In mild lightning injury, the persons struck often report loss of consciousness, amnesia, confusion, tingling, and numerous other nonspecific symptoms.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Lightning burns are not uncommon, both in urban and rural population. 7,8 Tar burns, common in road laying workers, is yet another injury caused by negligence of safety measures. Unusual burns like camphor burns, burns due to fire walk which are peculiar to our society is because of religious belief and are an act of penance for their mistake.…”

A study of unusual burns at a tertiary burn unit: a prospective study

Background: Unusual burns are not uncommon. They occur in the industrial as well as the domestic side. These are mainly burns due to chemicals, tar, fire walk and lightning burns. These burns occur as a result of improper handling of chemicals with poor safety measures or due to accidents. Here, we discuss about these burns, their epidemiology with treatment and preventive measures.Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care burn centre for a period of two years from Jan 2009 to Jan 2011. Forty-four patients with unusual burns were admitted and evaluated with a thorough history and clinical examination. Initial resuscitation was done followed by specific therapy in each of the cases.Results: The forty-four patients with unusual burns were categorized into chemical burns, lightning burns, tar burn, camphor burns, fire walk burns and miscellaneous types. These burns mostly involved adult males and were generally due to domestic reasons. 93% were due to accidents of which most of them were of the miscellaneous type (83%).Conclusions: Unusual burns are an important to know as these are occurring with regular frequency in the present days. These burns are usually accidental occurring in industries and in household setups. Proper education and safety measures could reduce the incidence of these unusual burns.
