An attractive solution to the problem would be to improve traits by grafting onto a rootstock presenting enhanced vegetative vigor. To this end, the commercial cultivar Passiflora edulis 'BRS Gigante Amarelo' was grafted onto rootstocks that included three native species of Passiflora and four passion fruit hybrids that are still under development.

Os serviços residenciais terapêuticos vêm se consolidando como estratégia eficaz para a desinstitucionalização de egressos de longas internações psiquiátricas. Os moradores deste serviço podem apresentar alterações no perfil metabólico de lipídeos e da glicose, que podem ser induzidas pela exposição prolongada aos agentes antipsicóticos e pelo estilo de vida dos moradores portadores de transtorno mental. Este estudo objetivou-se a caracterizar a exposição prolongada aos agentes antipsicóticos dos moradores de um serviço residencial terapêutico da região Nordeste.

The State of Minas Gerais presents, unlike most Brazilian States, a transmission level that is still low, because Belo Horizontes, the state capital, as well as the cities of Betim and Araguari have not yet reached the level of transmission of the disease that can place the Public Health System in collapse due to lack of ICU beds, respirators and personal protective equipment for health professionals.

All participants(individuals with or without mental health challenges, their relatives, mental health professionals, health and education service providers, citizens) have access to mental health, recovery, and well-being training(4).
