O presente artigo fornece uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o impacto das doenças cardiovasculares (DCVs) na progressão doença renal crônica (DRC). As DCVs e a DRC representam grandes desafios para saúde pública em todo mundo, com prevalência crescente muitas populações. Essas condições frequentemente coexistem muitos pacientes, sendo um fator de agravamento mútuo. Com base análise ap...

Crossbred yearling steers (n=80; 406 ± 2.7 kg of BW) were used to evaluate the effects of S concentration in dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and ruminal concentrations of CH(4) and H(2)S in finishing steers fed diets based on steam-flaked corn (SFC) or dry-rolled corn (DRC) and containing 30% DDGS (DM basis) with moderate S (0.42% S, ...

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) growers in North Dakota and South Dakota harvested 593,522 ha in 2012, valued at $US600 million. Blackbirds, numbering about 75 million, annually damage 2 to 3% of the crop. Damage tends to be clumped around cattail (Typha spp.) dominated wetlands with standing water. In an attempt to reduce sunflower damage, three general population management strategies have been...

To achieve objectives, data were collected through questionnaire (from 95 DRC beneficiaries) and focus group discussions (20 members). Results analyzed using frequencies, percentages, thematic analysis. reveal...

1.1 Os níveis séricos de cálcio (Ca), fósforo (P), fosfatase alcalina (FA), paratormônio-intacto (PTH), pH e bicarbonato sérico (HCO3) ou reserva alcalina (CO2 total) devem ser determinados em todas as crianças e adolescentes nos estágios II a V da doença renal crônica (DRC). A frequência dessas determinações deve ser baseada na presença e na magnitude das alterações e na velocidade de progress...

BACKGROUND Since cholera appeared in Africa during the 1970s, cases have been reported on the continent every year. In Sub-Saharan Africa, cholera outbreaks primarily cluster at certain hotspots including the African Great Lakes Region and West Africa. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, we applied MLVA (Multi-Locus Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis) typing of 337 Vibrio choler...

BACKGROUND The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces increased morbidity and mortality due to treatable and preventable noncommunicable diseases. However, it continues to struggle with political and economic instability, which impedes much needed health infrastructure improvements. The present study was designed as a low-cost determination of the prevalence of incident prediabetes/diabetes i...

Five trials investigated the feeding value of wet and dried corn distillers byproducts as a source of protein and energy for growing and finishing cattle and investigated the effect of heat damage on the feeding value of dried distillers byproducts. In a calf growth trial, no differences in rate of gain or protein efficiency were observed among calves fed wet distillers byproducts (wet distille...

Regular use of short-acting beta-agonists may decrease control of asthma and increase airway responsiveness to bronchoconstrictor stimuli. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of regular treatment with the long-acting beta-agonist, salmeterol, on the methacholine dose-response curve (DRC) in mild-to-moderate asthmatics. Changes in methacholine airway responsiveness were measured i...
