Using legumes as a green manure is a well-established practice because it adds nitrogen-rich plant material to the soil. This study evaluates successive crops of lettuce fertilized with different doses of bovine manure in the presence and absence of mung bean. Experiments were carried out at the Rafael Fernandes Experimental Farm, Mossoró, Brazil, from August 2015 to January 2016. We applied a complete randomized block design with treatments arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial scheme, with four replications.

Objective: To determine the effect of active stretching versus passive stretching in subjects with hip extensor muscle tightness. Design: Pretest- Posttest Experimental design. Subject: Total 30 subjects were taken for the study. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Group A: (n=15) Active stretching. Group B: (n=15) Passive stretching. Methodology: In Active stretching group (Winter et al., 2005) group A, stretching is first done with bending knee (5 reps) and then done with knee extension.

Introduction: Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is characterized by high blood pressure levels ≥ 140 and/or 90 mmHg. The perception of hypertension on hypertension is often inadequate, and it is necessary for the team to know the hypertensive population. The objective of this study was to characterize the hypertensive patients of a Basic Family Health Unit (UBSF). Methods: This was a descriptive and quantitative research carried out in a UBSF in a municipality in the interior of Paraíba.

Background: Heart rate is a determinant of myocardial oxygen demand and in myocardial infarction it is related to mortality. Ivabradine is a pure cardiac agent that reduces speed and has no effect on blood pressure and contractility and can reverse left ventricular remodeling. B-blockers in ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) are indicated for patients without a contraindication, particularly in patients with high heart rate or blood pressure. Epidemiological studies have shown that the increase in CF represents a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity.

Introduction: Specialty training for surgical treatment of congenital cardiac diseases which are among the cardiovascular diseases with a wide spectrum is provided as a minor training today. In Turkey, pediatric cardiovascular surgery minor is a two-year training following cardiovascular specialty. Material and Method: Surgeries attended by a cardiovascular surgery specialist during pediatric cardiovascular surgery minor training between 20 March 2015 and 7 July 2017 were examined in detail in our study.
