Objective: Most countries fail to treat individuals with psychopathologies. Investigating treatment barriers and reasons for dropout are key elements to overcoming this scenario. Methods: A representative sample of 2,942 urban-dwelling adults was interviewed face-to-face within a cross-sectional, stratified, multistage probability survey of the general population. Psychiatric diagnosis, severity level, use of services, reasons for not seeking treatment, and treatment dropout were investigated. Results: Only 23% of individuals with a psychopathology of any severity level in the last 12 months received treatment. Low perceived need for treatment (56%) was the most common reason for not seeking treatment. The most visited settings were psychiatric, other mental health care, and general medical care. Among those with a perceived need for treatment (44%), psychological barriers were the most common reason for not seeking it. Treatment dropout was more prevalent among those who visited a general medical care setting. Among individuals still in treatment, human services and psychiatric care were the most common types. Female sex was associated with structural barriers (OR = 2.1). Disorder severity was negatively associated with need barriers (OR = 0.4), and positively associated with structural barriers (OR = 2.5) and psychological barriers (OR = 2.5). Conclusion: Despite the need for treatment and better services, psychological barriers were the major reason for not seeking treatment. Apart from providing more specialists, investing in awareness, de-stigmatization, and information is the ultimate strategy for improving psychiatric care.

The increasing availability of extensive collections of chemical compounds associated with experimental data provides an opportunity to build predictive quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models using machine learning (ML) algorithms. These models can promote data-driven decisions and have the potential to speed up the drug discovery process and reduce their failure rates. However, many essential aspects of data preparation and modeling are not available in any standalone program. Here, we developed an automated framework for the curation of chemogenomics data and to develop QSAR models for virtual screening using the open-source KoNstanz Information MinEr (KNIME) program. The workflow includes four modules: (i) dataset preparation and curation; (ii) chemical space analysis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) rules; (iii) modeling; and (iv) virtual screening (VS). As case studies, we applied these workflows to four datasets associated with different endpoints. The implemented protocol can efficiently curate chemical and biological data in public databases and generates robust QSAR models. We provide scientists a simple and guided cheminformatics workbench following the best practices widely accepted by the community, in which scientists can adapt to solve their research problems. The workflows are freely available for download at GitHub and LabMol web portals.

RESUMO A acerola é uma fruta tropical que se destaca pelo alto teor de ácido ascórbico e compostos fenólicos. No entanto, atualmente há carência de informações sobre os efeitos do preparo e armazenamento doméstico de sucos de frutas, em especial de acerola. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar no suco de acerola doméstico, o efeito de diferentes tempos de liquidificação (10, 30 e 50 s) e do armazenamento refrigerado a 4 °C, por 0, 24, 48 e 72 h. Relacionado a isto, foram executadas determinações físico-químicas, compreendendo, pH, acidez titulável total, potencial antioxidante, teores de compostos fenólicos e flavonoides totais em sucos produzidos com a fruta inteira, somente com a polpa e em extratos de sementes de acerola. Os sucos das frutas inteiras, liquidificados por 10 s, apresentaram as maiores médias de pH e menores de acidez (P≤0,05). Os teores de compostos fenólicos e flavonoides variaram de 26,06±1,18 a 168,34±24,63 mg Eq. A.G./100 mL e 11,17±0,96 a 49,45±1,43 mg Eq. Cat./100 mL, respectivamente. Os fenólicos totais foram superiores nos sucos de acerolas inteiras e os flavonoides totais nos extratos de sementes, ambos liquidificados por 50 s. O potencial antioxidante variou de 0,12±0,01 a 4,26±0,78 mmol de trolox/100 mL, sendo também superior nos sucos de acerolas inteiras, liquidificadas por 50 s (P≤0,05). Os resultados demonstraram que a polpa de acerola possui maior teor de fenólicos e potencial antioxidante, enquanto as sementes, flavonoides. O tempo de liquidificação da fruta inteira por 50 s e o consumo imediato ou durante as primeiras 24 h foram as melhores, dentre as condições testadas neste estudo, a fim de se obter um suco com elevado conteúdo de compostos fenólicos e atividade antioxidante.
ABSTRACT Acerola is a tropical fruit that stands out for its high content of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds. However, there is currently a lack of information on the effects of the preparation and domestic storage of fruit juices, especially that of acerola. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different liquefying times (10, 30 and 50 s) and cold storage at 4 °C for 0, 24, 48 and 72 h in domestic acerola juice. In relation to such, physicochemical determinations were performed, including pH, total titratable acidity, antioxidant potential, contents of phenolic compounds and total flavonoids in juices produced from the whole fruit, the pulp and acerola seed extracts. Whole fruit juice, liquefied for 10 s, had the highest pH and lowest acidity averages (P≤0.05). The contents of phenolic and flavonoid compounds ranged from 26.06±1.18 to 168.34±24.63 mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 mL and 11.17±0.96 to 49.45±1.43 mg of catechin equivalents (CE)/100 mL, respectively. Total phenolics were higher in whole acerola juices and total flavonoids in seed extracts, both when liquefied for 50 s. The antioxidant potential ranged from 0.12±0.01 to 4.26±0.78 mmol of Trolox equivalents (TE)/100 mL, and was also higher in whole acerola juice, liquefied for 50 s (P≤0.05). The results showed that acerola pulp has higher phenolic content and antioxidant potential, while seeds have more flavonoids. The liquefying time of the whole fruit for 50 s and consumption during the first 24 h, were the best conditions tested in this study, for obtaining a juice with a high content of phenolic and antioxidant activity.

Objective: Childhood adversities (CAs) comprise a group of negative experiences individuals may suffer in their lifetimes. The goal of the present study was to investigate the cluster discrimination of CAs through psychometric determination of the common attributes of such experiences for men and women. Methods: Parental mental illness, substance misuse, criminality, death, divorce, other parental loss, family violence, physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, physical illness, and economic adversity were assessed in a general-population sample (n=5,037). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis determined gender-related dimensions of CA. The contribution of each individual adversity was explored through Rasch analysis. Results: Adversities were reported by 53.6% of the sample. A three-factor model of CA dimensions fit the data better for men, and a two-factor model for women. For both genders, the dimension of family maladjustment – encompassing physical abuse, neglect, parental mental disorders, and family violence – was the core cluster of CAs. Women endorsed more CAs than men. Rasch analysis found that sexual abuse, physical illness, parental criminal behavior, parental divorce, and economic adversity were difficult to report in face-to-face interviews. Conclusion: CAs embrace sensitive personal information, clustering of which differed by gender. Acknowledging CAs may have an impact on medical and psychiatric outcomes in adulthood.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of 20 weeks of resistance and concurrent training on psychotic and depressive symptoms, quality of life outcomes, and serum IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations in patients with schizophrenia. Methods: In this blind, randomized controlled clinical trial, 34 patients with schizophrenia were assigned to one of three groups: control (CTRL, n=13), resistance exercise (RESEX, n=12), or concurrent exercise (CONCEX, n=9). Symptoms, quality of life, strength, and other variables were assessed. Results: A significant time-by-group interaction was found for the RESEX and CONCEX groups on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score for disease symptoms (p = 0.007), positive symptoms (p = 0.003), and on the arm extension one-repetition maximum (1RM) test (p = 0.016). In addition, significant improvements on negative symptoms (p = 0.027), on the role-physical domain of the Short Form-36 Health Survey (p = 0.019), and on the chest press 1RM test (p = 0.040) were observed in the RESEX group. No changes were observed for the other variables investigated. Conclusions: In this sample of patients with schizophrenia, 20 weeks of resistance or concurrent exercise program improved disease symptoms, strength, and quality of life. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01674543.

Resumo Um levantamento atualizado das plantas com sementes e análises relevantes acerca desta biodiversidade são apresentados. Este trabalho se iniciou em 2010 com a publicação do Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos e, desde então vem sendo atualizado por mais de 430 especialistas trabalhando online. O Brasil abriga atualmente 32.086 espécies nativas de Angiospermas e 23 espécies nativas de Gimnospermas e estes novos dados mostram um aumento de 3% da riqueza em relação a 2010. A Amazônia é o Domínio Fitogeográfico com o maior número de espécies de Gimnospermas, enquanto que a Floresta Atlântica possui a maior riqueza de Angiospermas. Houve um crescimento considerável no número de espécies e nas taxas de endemismo para a maioria dos Domínios (Caatinga, Cerrado, Floresta Atlântica, Pampa e Pantanal), com exceção da Amazônia que apresentou uma diminuição de 2,5% de endemicidade. Entretanto, a maior parte das plantas com sementes que ocorrem no Brasil (57,4%) é endêmica deste território. A proporção de formas de vida varia de acordo com os diferentes Domínios: árvores são mais expressivas na Amazônia e Floresta Atlântica do que nos outros biomas, ervas são dominantes no Pampa e as lianas apresentam riqueza expressiva na Amazônia, Floresta Atlântica e Pantanal. Este trabalho não só quantifica a biodiversidade brasileira, mas também indica as lacunas de conhecimento e o desafio a ser enfrentado para a conservação desta flora.
Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil is home to 32,086 native Angiosperms and 23 native Gymnosperms, showing an increase of 3% in its species richness in relation to 2010. The Amazon Rainforest is the richest Brazilian biome for Gymnosperms, while the Atlantic Rainforest is the richest one for Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment in the number of species and endemism rates for biomes, except for the Amazon that showed a decrease of 2.5% of recorded endemics. However, well over half of Brazillian seed plant species (57.4%) is endemic to this territory. The proportion of life-forms varies among different biomes: trees are more expressive in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest biomes while herbs predominate in the Pampa, and lianas are more expressive in the Amazon, Atlantic Rainforest, and Pantanal. This compilation serves not only to quantify Brazilian biodiversity, but also to highlight areas where there information is lacking and to provide a framework for the challenge faced in conserving Brazil's unique and diverse flora.

Lead and copper concentrations in drinking water increase considerably on going from municipality reservoirs to the households sampled in Ribeirão Preto (SP-Brazil). Flushing of only 3 liters of water reduced metal concentrations by more than 50%. Relatively small changes in water pH rapidly affected corrosion processes in lead pipes, while water hardness appeared to have a long-term effect. This approach aims to encourage University teachers to use its content as a case study in disciplines of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry and consequently increase knowledge about drinking water contamination in locations where no public monitoring of trace metals is in place.

Avaliou-se a dinâmica de fermentação ruminal dos carboidratos totais (CT) e da fibra em detergente neutro (FDN) do pseudofruto de cinco clones de cajueiro (CP 06, CP 09, CP 76, CP 1001 e BRS 189) pela técnica in vitro semi-automática de produção de gases. As leituras de pressão foram realizadas 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 48, 60 e 72 horas para determinação da degradação dos carboidratos totais e da FDN, pela quantificação do resíduo após 72 horas de incubação. As curvas de produção cumulativa de gases foram ajustadas utilizando-se os modelos propostos por France e Gompertz para carboidratos totais e fibra em detergente neutro, respectivamente. Na avaliação da degradação dos carboidratos totais, o potencial máximo de produção de gases (Vf) diferiu entre o CP 09 e o BRS 189. O CP 1001 foi o que apresentou menor tempo de colonização. As taxas de fermentação dos CP 09, CP 1001 e CP 06 foram ligeiramente superiores às do CP 76 e dos BRS 189. A taxa de produção de gases apresentou dois picos, às 6 e às 21 horas. O BRS 189 foi o que apresentou menor degradação às 72 horas de fermentação. Na avaliação da fermentação ruminal da FDN, O CP 09 apresentou maior potencial máximo de produção de gases e o CP 06, CP 1001 e BRS 189, maiores taxas de produção de gases. A eficiência microbiana foi maior no CP 09 e a produção cumulativa de gases, no CP 1001. Os pseudofrutos dos clones de cajueiro avaliados têm potencial para uso na alimentação de ruminantes por terem boa qualidade fermentativa.
The kinetics of ruminal fermentation of total carbohydrates (TC) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of false fruit from five clones of cashew tress: CP 06, CP 09, CP 76, CP 1001, BRS 189 was evaluated through semi-automated in vitro gas production technique. The pressure readings and the volume measurements were accomplished after 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 48, 60 and 72 h. For the determination of the TC and NDF degradation, the residue was quantified after 72 h of incubation. The cumulative gas production curves were adjusted through models proposed by France and Gompertz for TC and NDF, respectively. For TC, difference between CP 09 and BRS 189 was found for potential gas production (Vf). The CP 1001 was the substrate that presented the shortest colonization time. The CP 09, CP 1001 and the CP 06 presented fermentation rates slightly higher in relation to CP 76 and BRS 189. The existence of two peaks was observed in the gas production rate, for 6 and 21 h. The BRS 189 presented lower degradation at 72 h. For the NDF, CP 09 resulted in higher Vf and the CP 06, CP 1001 and o BRS 189 presented the highest gas production rate. The CP 09 presented had higher microbial efficiency. The cumulative gas production was higher for CP 1001. The false fruit of the cashew trees clones evaluated presented potential for use in the feeding of ruminants due to their good quality, from the fermentative point of view.

OBJETIVO: analisar a história clínica e evolução de crianças e adolescentes com HI, ressaltando peculiaridades próprias destes pacientes. MÉTODOS: 471 pacientes portadores de HI têm sido acompanhados em regime ambulatorial, sendo submetidos ao protocolo: Rx de abdome, ultra-sonografia de rins e vias urinárias; ionograma, gasometria e bioquímica de sangue; urina de 24 horas para dosagem de cálcio e outros eletrólitos e creatinina; urinálise, urocultura e microscopia de contraste de fase; urina de segunda micção matinal em jejum para dosagem de cálcio e creatinina. RESULTADOS: 56% masculinos e 44% femininos; 56% brancos, 37% não-brancos e 7% sem relato da cor da pele. Ao diagnóstico 6% eram lactentes, 15% pré-escolares, 55% escolares e 24% adolescentes. 47% tinha hematúria associada à dor abdominal, 31% hematúria isolada, 14% dor abdominal isolada, e 8% tinham infecção urinária, enurese noturna, dor suprapúbica ou uretral ou a síndrome miccional com freqüência/urgência e incontinência urinária. A associação de hipercalciúria com litíase do trato urinário foi positiva em 56% dos pacientes. Em 18,5% houve associação com hiperuricosúria e em 8,5% com hipocitratúria. 33% dos pacientes tiveram má evolução com recorrência de nefrolitíase, persistência de hematúria e dor abdominal. CONCLUSÕES: a HI deve ser diagnosticada e tratada criteriosamente com o objetivo de reduzir suas conseqüências como hematúria, dor abdominal, formação de cálculos urinários e as possíveis alterações ósseas. Sinais e sintomas como urgência e incontinência urinárias, dor suprapúbica e enurese noturna podem ter como causa a hiperexcreção renal de cálcio.
OBJECTIVE: to analyze the clinical history and evolution of children and adolescents with IH, emphasizing some of their peculiar features. METHODS: we followed 471 patients with IH at an outpatient clinic. Patients were submitted to the following protocol: abdominal X-ray, kidney and urinary tract ultrasonography; urinary ionogram, blood gas and biochemical analyses; 24-hour urine for measurement of calcium and other electrolytes and creatinine; urinalysis, urine culture and phase-contrast microscopy; second morning urine collected after fasting for measurement of calcium and creatinine. RESULTS: at the time of diagnosis, 6% of the patients were infants, 15% pre-school children, 55% school children, and 24% adolescents; 56% of them were boys. Clinical and laboratory findings were: 47% had hematuria and abdominal pain, 31% had isolated hematuria, 14% isolated abdominal pain, and 8% had urinary tract infection, nocturnal enuresis, suprapubic pain or urethralgia, or the frequency/urgency syndrome with urinary incontinence. Hypercalciuria was associated with urolithiasis in 56% of patients. There was association with hyperuricosuria in 18.5% of the cases, and hypocitraturia in 8.5% of the cases. Evolution was poor for 33% of the patients, with recurrence of nephrolithiasis, persistence of hematuria, and abdominal pain. CONCLUSIONS: IH must be diagnosed and treated with criteria in order to reduce consequences such as hematuria, abdominal pain, urinary stone formation and possible bone involvement. Signs and symptoms such as urgency and urinary incontinence, suprapubic pain and nocturnal enuresis may result from renal hyperexcretion of calcium.
