    Abstract Acetaminophen has been combined with caffeine for therapeutic purpose, but the effect of co-ingestion of acetaminophen and caffeine on exercise performance has not been investigated. To determine the effect of isolated and combined ingestion of caffeine and acetaminophen on performance during a 4-km cycling time-trial (4TT). Eleven men, completed a 4TT one hour after the ingestion of cellulose (PLA), acetaminophen (20 mg kg−1 body mass, ACT), caffeine (5 mg kg−1 body mass, CAF) or combined acetaminophen and caffeine (20 and 5 mg kg−1 body mass, respectively, ACTCAF). The perception of pain, rating of perceived exertion, electromyography, oxygen uptake were recorded. Plasma lactate concentration was measured before and immediately after the trial. The time and mean power during the 4TT was significantly improved (P < 0.05) in CAF (407.9 ± 24.5 s, 241.4 ± 16.1 W) compared to PLA (416.1 ± 34.1 s, 234.1 ± 19.2 W) and ACT (416.2 ± 26.6 s, 235.8 ± 19.7 W). However, there was no difference between ACTCAF (411.6 ± 27.7 s, 238.7 ± 18.7 W) and the other conditions (P > 0.05). All other measures were similar under the conditions (P > 0.05). Caffeine but not acetaminophen increases power output ultimately increasing performance during a 4TT.

    Abstract Chromosome numbers, morphology, and nucleolus organizer region (NOR) locations are useful cytological characters for taxonomic and evolutionary studies. In this study, we provide the first cytogenetic analysis of Phyllomedusa bahiana and Phasmahyla spectabilis, and report new cytogenetic data on variation in NOR numbers and positions in Phyllomedusa rohdei and Phyllomedusa nordestina using conventional staining, AgNOR-banding, and 45S rDNA fluorescence in situ hybridization. All 4 species showed 2n = 26 chromosomes. P. spectabilis and P. bahiana had only 1 pair of NOR-carrying chromosomes. P. bahiana showed an NOR length polymorphism, and a rare homomorphic self-compatibility for both NOR lengths in anurans. Variation in the number of NOR-bearing chromosomes was found between the sampled populations of P. nordestina, ranging from 3 to 4. This study also clarified previous conflicting results concerning the occurrence of inter- and intra-population NOR variation in P. rohdei. The variation, confirmed by 45S rDNA fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis, was congruent with results obtained from AgNOR-banding in all species.

    Abstract Platonia insignis Mart. (Clusiaceae) is widespread throughout the Amazon and adjacent areas. The fruits (known locally as "bacuri") have significant commercial potential, but the species is under threat from agro-industrial expansion. The genetic variability within 72 genotypes of P. insignis belonging to ten populations collected in the Brazilian states of Maranhão and Piauí, and maintained in the germplasm collection of Embrapa Meio-Norte, has been determined, and the organization of genetic diversity within populations, between populations and among geographic groups verified. Eighteen selected inter simple sequence repeat primers allowed amplification of 236 loci of which 221 (93.64%) were polymorphic, indicating a high level of genetic diversity. At the population level, the Shannon and Nei diversity indices ranged from 0.082 to 0.323 and from 0.120 to 0.480, respectively. The global coefficient of genetic differentiation (G(ST)) was 0.4730 indicating that differentiation between populations was significant, a finding that was confirmed by analysis of molecular variance (Φ(ST) = 0.28). UPGMA cluster analysis revealed that the genotypes could be stratified into groups that were well defined and consistent with those identified in the dendrogram constructed using pair wise Φ(ST) values. The high genetic diversity established in this study may facilitate the management and conservation of the germplasm of P. insignis.

    Abstract The arboreal species Spondias mombin L. (Anacardiaceae) is widely distributed in Brazil, where the fruits, known by the common name of cajá, are an important commercial commodity. We evaluated genetic variability among 32 cajá accessions of the Germplasm Collection of Embrapa Meio-Norte using RAPD technique. Reaction conditions for efficient RAPD amplifications were optimized in preliminary tests, and primers were selected from a set designed by the University of British Columbia on the basis of high levels of polymorphism and adequate band resolution. The 21 primers employed in the final analysis produced 145 fragments, 79% of which were polymorphic. Based on the RAPD data, a dendrogram was constructed using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean clustering technique. The 32 cajá accessions were classified into three main groups with a mean genetic similarity of 68.8%. Group I comprised 26 accessions (74.1% similarity), and group II included five accessions (74.0% similarity), while group III consisted of one accession (BGC 06), which exhibited the lowest similarity coefficients. Accessions BGC 06 and BGC 31 were the most unrelated and, hence, most suitable for initial crossings in order to obtain high levels of segregation. We concluded, based on the repeatability and reproducibility tests, that the RAPD technique is reliable and efficient for revealing the genetic diversity of cajá accessions, which will be useful for genetic improvement programs.

    Abstract Aim: To identify the extent to which medical aspects of fitness to drive (FTD) are taught within UK medical schools.
    Methods: A survey of all 32 UK medical schools. In-depth interviews with a range of staff at two medical schools; telephone survey of 30 schools.
    Results: Two thirds of schools reported specific teaching on medical aspects of FTD but few covered it in any depth or in relation to specific medical conditions. Only one school taught FTD in relation to elderly medicine. FTD was an examination topic at only 12 schools.
    Conclusion: Teaching on FTD is inconsistent across UK medical schools. Many new doctors will graduate with limited knowledge of medical aspects of FTD.

    Abstract We evaluated genetic variability of mango (Mangifera indica) accessions maintained in the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Meio-Norte in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, using RAPDs. Among these accessions, 35 originated from plantings in Brazil, six from the USA and one from India. Genomic DNA, extracted from leaf material using a commercial purification kit, was subjected to PCR with the primers A01, A09, G03, G10, N05, and M16. Fifty-five polymorphic loci were identified, with mean of 9.16 ± 3.31 bands per primer and 100% polymorphism. Application of unweighted pair group method using arithmetic average cluster analysis demonstrated five genotypic groups among the accessions examined. The genotypes Rosa 41, Rosa 48 and Rosa 49 were highly similar (94% similarity), whereas genotypes Sensation and Rosa 18 were the most divergent (only 7% similarity). The mango accessions were found to have considerable genetic variability, demonstrating the importance of analyzing each genotype in a collection in order to efficiently maintain the germplasm collection.

    Abstract The present study determined the anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activities of supercritical CO2 extracts, neolignans eupomatenoid-5 (1), conocarpan (4) and eupomatenoid-3 (7) and their derivatives (2, 3, 5, 6, and 8) from Piper regnellii, as well as their cytotoxicities. The supercritical CO2 extract from leaves was purified by chromatographic methods, yielding compounds (1), (4) and (7), which were identified by (1)H NMR and comparison with literature data. Anti-M. tuberculosis activity (H37Rv and clinical isolates) was evaluated using a resazurin microtiter assay plate (REMA) to determine the MIC. The cytotoxicity assay was carried out in macrophages J774G.8 by sulforhodamine B colorimetric assay. The supercritical CO2 extracts from leaves and stems, and compound (4) showed activity against M. tuberculosis (MIC 15.6 μg/ml). Compound (1) showed the best activity (MIC 1.9 μg/ml), with good SI. Compounds (7) and (8) showed low activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The derivative compounds did not show increased anti-M. tuberculosis activity. This is the first report, to our knowledge, to describe neolignans from P. regnellii with activity against M. tuberculosis, and compound (1) is a potential candidate for future antituberculosis drugs.
