Unconventional Food Plants (PANC) are characterized by native edible species that have a great food potential being source of many of nutrients, besides respecting agroecological and sustainability concepts. The present study aims to determinate the acceptance and sensory characterization of enriched cookies with different PANC flour using check-all-that-apply (CATA) methodology. The selected PANC flour were prepared and cookies elaborated.

The present work aims to present a brief review on optimal granular evolutionary models that can provide accurate and granular predictions of flow of big meteorological data (big data). This environment is based on the theory of multicriteria optimization and is concerned not only with the accuracy of predictive models, but also with the specificity of information granules, delta-data coverage, and compression and structural evolution of fuzzy rules. The prediction problem is non-stationary and, of course, requires incremental strategies and evolutionary modeling.

Mycoplasma sp. is a pathogenic bacterium that causes feline mycoplasmosis or even feline infectious anemia, which in most cases is subclinical, but in some cases takes on an acute form resulting in hemolytic anemia. This study had as the objective of to detect the presence of hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) in blood samples from cats using PCR assays, and to association sex, age and hematologic changes. 100 samples were collected for blood count and PCR. Of the samples analyzed, 44% were positive for hemoplasmas.

Objective: To analyze the effects of vitamin D supplementation on blood pressure (BP) in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Method: For this systematic review, searches were performed in the databases PUBMED, COCHRANE LIBRARY, BVS, Embase and Web of Science for clinical trials about vitamin D supplementation in populations with CKD. The analysis of the articles had as selection criteria the outcome of searching for changes in blood pressure. Qualitative assessment for risk of bias in the studies included. Results: In the primary search in the databases, 204 articles were found.

Objective: To evaluate the healing activity of a crude extract of C. brasiliense on cutaneous wounds in rats. Method: adult male rats were wounded and randomized in three groups, where each one of those have received different topical treatment: 0.9% Saline Solution; Base Gel and Base Gel with crude extract of Callophylum brasiliense Cambess 2%. Morphometric and morphological analyses were performed at 7 and 14 days after topical treatment.
