The goal of this study was to evaluate the rejection rates of Zebu bulls during behavioral assessment (libido and serving ability) and the importance of this step in bull breeding soundness evaluation (BBSE). A total of 1,534 bulls reared in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, of Nelore (1,340), Brahman (76), Guzerá (98), and Tabapuã (210) breeds were evaluated. The evaluation consisted of four steps. Step I was the general physical examination, Step II genital tract examination, Step III semen evaluation, and Step IV behavioral assessment of libido and the ability to complete copulation. To evaluate the relationship between the binary variables of approved or rejected during different steps of the BBSE, and age groups (young and mature bulls), chi-square tests and logistic regression were used. The general rejection rates in the BBSE were 5.64% and 15.20% for young and mature Zebu bulls, respectively. Problems with the sexual behavior (libido and/or serving ability) of bulls accounted for the rejection of 0.46% and 2.29% of young and mature Zebu bulls, respectively. The lack of libido and serving ability was shown to be an important problem concerning the total number of possible causes of Zebu bull rejection during the BBSE. This result suggests that the behavioral step should be performed regularly, rather than being complementary to the standard BBSE in Zebu cattle.

Aim. Study of the dependence of mortality from CVD on helio-seismic indicators in the Shamakhi region of the Republic of Azerbaijan.Materials and methods. 352 case histories of patients who died in 2013 from various diseases were reviewed. The relationship was established between the number of deaths, their causes, distribution by sex and age with the magnitude of earthquakes, the depth of the epicenter and seismological activity by months. The data obtained were statistically processed using the Statistica 12.0 for Windows software package (Statsoft Inc., USA). To establish correlations, Pearson Chi-Square Tests was calculated, the results were considered reliable at p <0.05.Results. Statistically significant (p <0.001) more deaths were observed at the age of 80-89 years in men, and at the age of 70-79 years in women. Also, the relationship between mortality and the depth of the seismic process and the magnitude of the earthquake was established, in particular, the greatest number of deaths was observed at a depth of the seismic process <10 km and with a magnitude of 1.1-2.0 ml. In all months, the number of deaths was higher with a magnitude of 1.1-2.0 Ml. Statistically significant (p <0.005) was the fact that the nosology of the studied diseases was dependent on the age of the patients. Thus, a greater number of deaths in all age groups accounted for heart failure. A statistically significant (p <0.005) dependence of the depth of the seismic process on the month of death of patients was established, in particular, for all months, deaths coincided with the depth of the process less than 10 km. At the age of 40-70 years, a significantly greater number of deaths were from heart failure in men, and from 70 years and above in women.Conclusion. Thus, there is a close correlation between geomagnetic changes and mortality from CVD, which is realized in the form of an increase in the frequency of cases and deaths, and the number of these cases increases with the age of patients and changes in the magnitude and depth of the earthquake.

e12042 Background: Angiomyolipoma (AML) are common benign neoplasm in the kidney, and are associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The objectives of this study were to examine AML prevalence among TSC patients in a real world setting, and to explore the relationship between AML prevalence and ages, genders, or residential regions. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on a large US commercial healthcare claims database. Patients with a TSC claim between 2000 and 2009 and with continuous 12-month enrollment after their first TSC claim were selected for the study. AML patients were identified based on ICD-9CM code (223.0X). Patients’ genders, residential regions, and age on their first TSC/or AML claim (if they had AML) were derived respectively from enrollment files and healthcare claims. Two-sample t tests and Chi-square tests were used to explore the relationships between AML prevalence, genders, residential regions and the age groups. Results: The study included 2,767 TSC patients with a mean age of 28.5 years on their first TSC claims, and 55.3% were female. AML prevalence among TSC patients was 7.8% in their first observed post-TSC year, and could be 78% at the end of the 10th observed post-TSC year if AML incidence rate (701.1 per 10,000 TSC patient years) remains constant. Associations between AML prevalence and age groups, genders, or residential regions were statistically significant (all p<0.05); and variations of AML prevalence by genders (Male: 5.6 vs. Female: 9.7%), residential regions (6.2-9.4%) and age groups at the first TSC claim (3.9% for age<1 year, 5.2% for age 1-5 years, 10.6% for 6-10 years, 8.4% for age 11-18 years, 13.6% for age 19-25 years, and 6.9% for age 26 years or more) were observed. Conclusions: In a real world setting AML occurred in 7.8% TSC patients in the first post-TSC year, and could increase to 78% within 10 years if the incidence rate remained at 701.1 per 10,000 TSC patient years. AML prevalence was associated with age, gender and residential regions, and varied significantly by ages, genders and residential regions. Further research is needed to explore the factors that resulted into these associations.

The relationship intensity, duration and frequency is very important for the hydraulic project’s development, mainly in regions where there is no study updated data. This paper objective was to determine the intensity-duration-frequency curves at Rio Grande do Sul hillside, in order to provide tools for hydraulic structures design and hydrological studies in the region. For the return periods 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and 100 - year precipitation determination was used Gumbel’s and log-normal statistical distributions, using the Rain Relationship Duration Method for 20 rainfall stations. For Gumbel’s distribution data adherence verification, was used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov adhesion tests and Chi-Square adhesion, with, 5% significance level. The general IDF equation coefficients a, b, c and d were obtained through non-linear regression and the adjustment quality was measured by both determination coefficient and standard error. Different intense rainfall curves were obtained with the methodology applied, for the region, each one shows a good parameters adjustment, important tool for extreme precipitations estimating.

The research is based on the theory of social learning and cognition proposed by Albert Bandura, the main objective is find the relationship between sexual intelligence and self-esteem in adults. The methodology used was of a quantitative approach, of a non-experimental type, with a cross-sectional design and an associative correlational scope; For this, a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 384 adults in the city of Quito, Ecuador was used. For data collection, a sociodemographic survey designed by the researchers was used, the Sheree Conrad and Michael Milburn Sexual Intelligence Test and the Rosemberg Self-Esteem Scale for adults. To test the hypothesis, the Chi-Square test was used; whose p-value = .000, which is why the null hypothesis (𝐻𝑜) was rejected, and it is affirmed that there is a relationship between sexual intelligence and self-esteem. To complement this information, Cramer's V correlation coefficient was used, the result of which is V = .263, which means that the relationship between the variables is weak. Therefore, it is concluded that despite having a moderately low sexual intelligence, self-esteem is good, besides, that self-esteem is mostly good for people with age ranges over 40 years regarding age groups older. young boys. Keywords: sexual intelligence, self-esteem, adults.

Abstract: Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of papulosquamous dermatitis with predilection in areas with many sebaceous glands, scalp, face, and body. This disease is associated with immunological disorders, but ieven more with Malassezia. Seborrheic dermatitis can occur in all age groups, but is usually separated into two age groups: infants and adults. Seborrheic dermatitis has many precipitating factors, especially high oil levels and humidity. One of the trigger factors is the use of hair styling which triggers the oil production on the surface of scalp as well as hair. The occurence of excessive oil on the scalp and hair long time can cause dandruff and irritation. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between hair styling and the incidence of seborrheic dermatitis in male students at Sam Ratulangi University in Manado. This was an analytical study with a cross sectional design. Data were obtained by using questionnaires and anamnesis. The results showed that of the 25 respondents, 9 students had dandruff and 16 students did not. The chi-square test analyzing the relationship between hair styling and the incidence of seborrhoic dermatitis obtained a P value of 0.332. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between hair styling use and the incidence of seborrheic dermatitisKeywords: hair styling, seborrheic dermatitis, male college students Abstrak: Dermatitis seboroik adalah salah satu jenis dermatitis papuloskuamosa dengan predileksi di daerah yang banyak kelenjar sebasea, skalp, wajah dan badan. Penyakit ini sering dihubungkan dengan kelainan imunologi, namun lebih sering dihubungkan dengan jamur Malassezia. Dermatitis seboroik dapat terjadi pada semua kelompok usia, namun biasanya terpisah menjadi dua golongan usia yaitu bayi dan dewasa. Dermatitis seboroik memiliki banyak faktor pencetus, terutama kadar minyak yang tinggi dan kelembaban. Salah satu faktor pencetusnya ialah penggunaan hair styling berlebih yang memicu timbulnya minyak pada rambut. Munculnya minyak pada rambut yang terlampau lama dapat menimbulkan ketombe dan juga iritasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pemakaian hair styling dengan kejadian dermatitis seboroik pada mahasiswa laki-laki Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah analitik dengan desain potong lintang. Data diperoleh berdasarkan kuesioner yang dibagikan dan anamnesis. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan total 25 responden terdiri dari 9 orang berketombe dan 16 orang tidak berketombe. Hasil uji korelasi chi-square terhadap hubungan antara penggunaan hair styling dengan kejadian dermatitis seboroik menunjukkan nilai P=0,332. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara penggunaan hair styling dengan kejadian dermatitis seboroikKata kunci: hair styling, dermatitis seboroik, mahasiswa laki-laki

Background and Objectives. In the biological age determination of a person’s teeth at adolescence, the third molar (M3) or wisdom tooth development is considered a dependable method used over the years. The present research intended to evaluate the age from the eruption status of M3 and analyze and equivalence with a different quadrant of the jaws. Methods. A cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study was undertaken with 1060 Assamese individuals (642 males and 418 females) aged 14–26 years and was subjected to a clinical, dental, and general physical examination from January 2014 to December 2018. The data were statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. The significant differences among variables were tested using the chi-square test and Student’s t -test, considering a p value < 0.05 as significant. Results. The carried-out research showed no eruption (NE) status of M3 with an overall mean (±SD) age at 17.39 (±2.273) years, although a significantly lower age among males with a mean age of 16.92 (±2.138) years ( p value < 0.001) was observed. The mean age (overall) for the complete eruption (CE) was observed at 20.33 (±2.566) years, which was seen earlier in males. The mandibular M3 appears earlier compared to the maxillary M3. The third molar eruption (TME) on both left and right quadrants of the jaw was observed substantially earlier in the lower jaw, compared to the upper jaw ( p value < 0.025). The earliest CE of M3 was marked at 15 years. The differences in the frequencies of TME in different chronological age groups were found significant ( p value < 0.001). A significant association between gender and TME ( p value < 0.045) in the current study is worth noting. Conclusion. Thus, determined by TME as a valid method, age can be used for various purposes to establish a person’s identity. Dental age estimated using third molar eruption status has a weighty association with chronological age. Thus, it should be utilized to determine the likely age of an individual.

Objective. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship betweenToxoplasma gondiiandToxocaraspp. infections in patients with schizophrenia disorder.Method. A total of 100 patients with schizophrenia disorder and 95 healthy individuals participated in the study. Participants were tested for the presence of anti-T. gondiiand anti-Toxocaraspp. antibodies by ELISA and Western blotting. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and Fisher9s exact test.Results. There were no differences inT. gondiiIgG seroprevalence between patients with schizophrenia and healthy individuals (P=0.1), but there were differences in seroprevalence between males and females with schizophrenia (P=0.009). In contrast,Toxocaraspp. IgG seroprevalence was greater in patients with schizophrenia disorder than in healthy individuals (P=0.02), but there were no differences in seroprevalence between men and women with schizophrenia (P=0.5). Finally, there were no differences in seroprevalence ofT. gondiiorToxocaraspp. IgG among different subtypes of schizophrenia, various age groups, residential area, or clinical course of treatment (P>0.05).Conclusion. The present study suggests that patients with schizophrenia disorder are at elevated risk ofToxocaraspp. infection. Moreover, contamination withT. gondiiis a risk factor for schizophrenia in women.
