State-of-the-art clinical results of growth hormone secretagogues, sarm and antagonists

Introduction: The term growth hormone secretagogues (GHS) encompasses compounds that were developed to increase growth release of growth hormone (GH). GHSs include growth hormone receptor secretagogue agonists (GHS-R), whose natural ligand is ghrelin, and growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) agonists, to which GHRH binds as a native ligand. In the context of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM), the presence of a Toll-IL-1 receptor domain (TIR) predicts a role for SARMs in innate immunity.

A method for ontology modeling based on instances conceptual classification and formalization

Building a knowledge representation depends on specific skills such as: understanding of modeled reality (it is also called Domain), knowledge of the representation language and, mainly, capacity of abstraction. The process involves such degree of complexity, demanding of the modeling agente an expertise to define axioms (roles) on the conceptual elements, determining constraints and redefining new concepts. This paper presents the proposal of a new conceptual modeling method called Mobi (Instance-based Ontology Modeling) detailing its Process, Editor, Formal Elements and Inference Engine.

Antioxidant activity of hydroalcoolic extracts of green and ripe scarlet eggplants (SOLANUM AETHIOPICUM GR. GILO)

The scarlet eggplant or ‘jiló’ fruit (Solanum aethiopicum gr. Gilo) has a characteristic pleasant bitter taste, low energy value and high content of dietary fibers. The fruits are frequently eaten green and when ripe, they are considered unsuitable for consumption and commercialization. Phytochemical studies of scarlet eggplant are rare and little is known about the polyphenols present in this fruit. The extraction procedure with an ethanol-water solution (70:30) of our samples allowed extract yields of 29% and 35% for the green and ripe fruit, respectively.

Insect population survey associated with covering plants: a systematized approach

The use Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) along with crow's-foot grass (Urochloabrizantha) are widely used in agriculture as inter-crop ground cover plants for improving soil attributes. The insect population may be indicative of the environmental quality of the region, as there are groups that are considered sensitive to environmental changes. The objective was to identify the entomonofauna incident on the cultivation of Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) and crow's grass (Urochloabrizantha) as cover crops using different types of traps.

Analysis of the proportion of live births to adolescent mothers and temporal trend in Brazil (2008 TO 2017)

This study aims to estimate the proportion of live births to adolescent mothers for Brazil and regions and to provide a time trend and analysis of the spatial area, from 2008 to 2017. It is an ecological study of time series, with data collected from the Live Birth Information System (SINASC) and the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS). We calculated the proportion of live births by dividing the number of live births of mothers from 10 to 19 years old, by the total live births of mothers in the same area, multiplied by 100.
