BACKGROUND Older adults could not safely step over an obstacle unless they correctly estimated their physical ability to be capable of a successful step over action. Thus, incorrect estimation (overestimation) of ability to step over an obstacle could result in severe accident such as falls in older adults. We investigated whether older adults tended to overestimate step-over ability compared w...

BACKGROUND arterial hypertension (AH) is a health problem that affects a large number of undiagnosed or inadequately treated hypertensive individuals and presents a high rate of treatment nonadherence. OBJECTIVE to estimate the prevalence of AH and its correlation with some cardiovascular risk factors among the adult population of the town of Firminopolis, state of Goiás, Brazil. METHODS de...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect rearing systems and genotypes on production performance egg quality. Isa Brown New Hampshire were used in study. These two housed floor organic systems. During experimental period, which lasted one year (52 weeks), following parameters recorded: production, daily mass, feed consumption, conversion efficiency, mortality. Fifteen eggs per group col...

Egg is an important source of animal protein with its nutritional substances. These substances and the quality characteristics egg are affected by physicochemical changes effect various factors during storage. Different studies have been carried out to preserve values eggs In these studies, Ultraviolet applications were mostly used for sanitation eggs, while made determine internal without brea...

Albumen was removed from broiler eggs before the start of incubation to induce prenatal protein under-nutrition in chicken embryos. With this method, the direct effect of protein deficiency was investigated, differing from mammalian models manipulating the maternal diet where indirect, hormonal effects can interfere. Based on the estimated albumen/egg weight ratio, 10 % of albumen was removed w...
