We investigated the effect of a daily supplement 200 mg magnesium (as MgO) for two menstrual cycles on severity premenstrual symptoms in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. A Mg or placebo was administered to each volunteer, who kept record her symptoms, using 4-point scale diary 22 items. Symptoms were grouped into six categories: PMS-A (anxiety), PMS-C (craving), PMS-D (depression), PMS-H (hydration), PMS-O (other), and PMS-T (total overall symptoms). Urinary...
Abstract Chrysomya albiceps , the larvae of which are facultative predators other dipteran species, has been introduced to Americas over recent years along with Old World species blowflies, including megacephala putoria and rufifacies . An apparent correlate this biological invasion a sudden decline in population numbers Cochliomyia macellaria native Americas. In study, we investigated predation rates on third instar C. by no‐choice, two‐choice three‐choice situations. Most attacks occurred...
Summary One attractive feature of optimum design criteria, such as D- and A-optimality, is that they are directly related to statistically interpretable properties the designs obtained, minimizing volume a joint confidence region for parameters. However, assumed relationships with inferential procedures valid only if variance experimental units be known. If estimated, then inferences depend also on number degrees freedom available estimating error variance. Modified optimality criteria...
The fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has been isolated from nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) in different regions where paracoccidiodomycosis (PCM) is endemic. link between PCM and these animals provided the first valuable clue effort to elucidate ecological niche of P. brasiliensis. present study was aimed at correlating infection with local features and, if possible, presence soil Botucatu hyperendemic area PCM. In this region mean temperature ranges 14.8 25.8°C annual...
Response surface designs are usually described as if the treatments have been completely randomized to experimental units. However, in practice there is often a structure units, implying need for blocking. If, addition, some factors more difficult vary between units than others, multistratum arises naturally. We present general strategy constructing response unit structures. Designs constructed stratum by stratum, starting highest stratum. In each prespecified treatment set applied that...
We estimated the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mortality in Brazil for 2020 and 2021 years. used data (2015-2021) from Brazilian Health Ministry forecasting baseline deaths under non-pandemic conditions to estimate all-cause excess at country level stratified by sex, age, ethnicity region residence, March December 2021. also considered estimation due specific causes. The were 187 842 (95% PI: 164 122; 211 562, P-Score = 16.1%) weeks 10-53, 2020, 441 048 411 740; 470 356, 31.9%) 1-52, values...
Aim: The aim of this paper was to compare the quantity and frequency alcohol use its associated negative consequences between two groups college students who were identified as being “risky drinkers.” Subjects randomly allocated in a clinical trial intervention or control groups. Methods: Risky drinking defined Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) ≥8 and/or Rutgers Problem Index (RAPI) ≥5 problems previous year. Students had undergone Brief Screening Intervention for College...
OBJECTIVE: A survey was conducted to compare gender differences in patterns of drinking two stratified, urban and representative samples from communities (B RJr). METHOD: The Genacis (Gender, Alcohol, Culture: an International Study) questionnaire used. RESULTS: There were several significant the demographics alcohol use between these samples. One had older, more Catholic, educated, Caucasian population, with women labor force. Data B community showed that men similar drinking. RJr much...
The objectives of this study were to determine the interval from ovulation deviation and diameter dominant (DF) largest subordinate (SF) follicles at in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) heifers. Two methods evaluation (observed vs. calculated) used. FSH LH profiles encompassing follicle (Experiment 1), follicular when DF acquired ovulatory capacity 2) also determined. time SF did not differ between observed calculated methods. Overall, occurred 2.6 ± 0.2d (mean SEM) after ovulation, diameters 7.2...
Bovine meat and bone meal (MBM) was widely used in animal diets until outbreaks of Spongiform Encefalopathy (BSE) occurred some countries. It has not been confirmed yet whether or BSE may be transmitted to man through chicken originated from poultry that had fed containing MBM. Therefore, consumers nowadays express preference for birds exclusively vegetable diets. This study analyzed samples major breast muscle (Pectoralis major) using mass spectrometry stable isotopes (carbon nitrogen) as a...
