ABSTRACT The angular leaf spot (ALS), caused by the fungus Pseudocercospora griseola, is one of the most notable diseases of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). The most effective strategy to control ALS is quantitative disease resistance provided by major and minor genes. One breeding strategy for obtaining lines with durable resistance to P. griseola is a recurrent selection that aims to gradually assemble fav...

ABSTRACT: Phenotyping for severity of angular leaf spot (ALS) in common bean is important to identify new sources of resistance and select progenies in conventional and molecular marker-assisted breeding. In this study, three phenotyping methods for ALS severity were assessed and its implications in breeding for resistance to Pseudocercospora griseola are discussed. Reaction of 144 common bean lines to P. grise...
ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the factors associated with the severity of scorpionism, according to sociodemographic, clinical and epidemiological aspects. Method: a cross-sectional study was carried out, in 2017, with data extracted directly from the Epidemiological Investigation Records of the Information System for Notifiable Diseases, for the period from 2007 to 2015. These records were provided by the ref...
Abstract Aim: To investigate the neuromuscular fatigue and recovery after an intermittent isometric handgrip exercise (IIHE) executed until failure with different blood flow restriction (BFR) conditions (free flow, partial and total vascular restriction). Methods: Thirteen healthy men carried out an IIHE at 45% of maximum voluntary isometric force (MVIF) until failure with total restriction (TR), partial restri...
Abstract Aim: Our purpose was to determine whether Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) improves performance in untrained individuals for supramaximal intermittent exercise. Methods: In a cross-over design, 11 healthy male subjects (26.8 ± 4.6 years) performed four Wingate trials after 20 minutes of anodal or sham tDCS over the left Insular Cortex (IC). For performance indexes, Relative Peak Power (RP...
