This study was conducted to analyze the bone density of middle aged women who are in the pre and post-menopausal state.
This study is a contribution to the search for alternative solutions based on plant extracts to fight against phytopathogenic fungi. The objective is to test the effectiveness of doses of aqueous extracts of C. odorata and O. gratissimum on the development of two species of phytopathogenic fungi. The results showed that the extracts inhibit mycelial growth. These extracts significantly reduced the progression of two fungi, Colletotrichum sp. and Rhizoctonia sp. The severity averageratings of the two accessions ranged from 0.16 to 0.82.

The Within the concepts of precision agriculture, this research sought to develop and evaluate an artificial neural network model capable of identifying and classifying different morphometric classes of aggregates through images.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a inexorable and degenerative disease that affects the neurons of the anterior horn of the spinal cord, brainstem and motor cortex. The main initial complaint is muscle weakness, with amyotrophy, reduced muscle strength, and myofasciculations revealed by physical exam.

The objective of this work was use brewer's malt bagasse residue as an amylase production inducer by Aspergillus spp. (UCP1275, UCP6119, UCP1295, and UCP1261) in submerged fermentation. Initially, production was analyzed in standard culture medium (SCM) containing starch as the only carbon source. Then, the strains were tested for bioconversion potential in a new culture medium containing malt bagasse residue (MBM).
The bariatric surgery procedures that currently exist can provide an improvement in obesity, diabetes, and other comorbidities. However, the anatomical changes inherent to these procedures impose risks that can lead to malnutrition, bone decalcification and other pathologies. This study aimed to evaluate data from patients submitted to partial restrictive intestinal bypass surgery (Lazzarotto surgery).
