Introduction: The management of nutritional diseases in the nosocomial context, especially malnutrition, has raised considerable concern. Objective: In this context, the multi-professional nutritional therapy team (MNTT) emerged, aiming to provide a prompt diagnosis and effective treatment for these conditions. Methods: To assess the benefits of implementing MNTT in hospital services, a review was conducted, gathering articles and legislation related to the proposed topic. The search terms used included “nutritional therapy,” “nutritional therapy costs,” “MNTT,” “multidisciplinary nutritional therapy team,” “enteral nutrition,” and “parenteral nutrition.” Discussion: The presence of MNTT leads to reduced mortality, shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, lower hospital expenses, and improved nutritional support for patients compared to services without MNTT. Conclusion: The multitude of benefits from investing in MNTT implementation is evident, as they play a fundamental role in diagnosing, treating, and primarily preventing nutritional diseases, ultimately resulting in better patient care.

The adaptive potential of plants is commonly used as an indicator of genotypes with higher breeding program potential. However, the complexity and interaction of plant metabolic parameters pose a challenge to selection strategies. In this context, this study aimed to explore phenotypic plasticity within the germplasm of Hybrid Timor coffee. Additionally, we assessed the utility of the multivariate phenotypic plasticity index (MVPi) as a promising tool to predict genotype performance across diverse climatic conditions. To achieve this, we evaluated the performance of seven accessions from the Hybrid Timor germplasm in comparison to the Rubi and IPR 100 cultivars, known for their susceptibility and resistance to drought, respectively. The experiment took place in a greenhouse under two conditions: one with normal soil moisture levels near maximum capacity, and the other with a water deficit scenario involving a period of no irrigation followed by rehydration. Data on physiological and biochemical factors were collected at three stages: before applying the water deficit, during its imposition, and after rehydration. Growth data were obtained by the difference between the beginning and end of the experimental period Furthermore, field evaluations of the productivity of the same genotypes were carried out over two consecutive seasons. Based on physiological and biochemical assessments, the MVPi was computed, employing Euclidean distance between principal component multivariate analysis scores. Subsequently, this index was correlated with growth and productivity data through linear regressions. Our findings reveal that the plastic genotypes that are capable of significantly altering physiological and biochemical parameters in response to environmental stimuli exhibited reduced biomass loss in both aerial and root parts. As a result, this positively influenced their productivity. Enhanced plasticity was particularly prominent in accessions from the MG Germplasm Collection: MG 311—Hybrid Timor UFV 428-02, MG 270—Hybrid Timor UFV 377-21, and MG 279—Hybrid Timor UFV 376-31, alongside the Rubi MG 1192 cultivar. The MVPi emerged as a valuable instrument to assess genotype adaptability and predict their performance under varying climatic scenarios.

Abstract Starting from a Markov chain with a finite or a countable infinite alphabet, we consider the chain obtained when all but one symbol are indistinguishable for the practitioner. We study conditions on the transition matrix of the Markov chain ensuring that the image chain has continuous or discontinuous transition probabilities with respect to the past.

The monoterpenoid 1,8-cineole is obtained from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulusand it has important biological activities. It is a cheap natural substrate because it is a by-product of the Eucalyptuscultivation for wood and pulp production. In this study, it was evaluated the potential of three filamentous fungi in the biotransformation of 1,8-cineole. The study was divided in two steps: first, reactions were carried out with 1,8-cineole at 1 g/L for 24 h; afterwards, reactions were carried out with substrate at 5 g/L for 5 days. The substrate was hydroxylated into 2-exo-hydroxy-1,8-cineole and 3-exo-hydroxy-1,8-cineole by fungi Mucor ramannianusand Aspergillus nigerwith high stereoselectivity. Trichoderma harzianumwas also tested but no transformation was detected. M. ramannianusled to higher than 99% of conversion within 24 h with a starting high substrate concentration (1 g/L). When substrate was added at 5 g/L, only M. ramannianuswas able to catalyze the reaction, but the conversion level was 21.7% after 5 days. Both products have defined stereochemistry and could be used as chiral synthons. Furthermore, biological activity has been described for 3-exo-hydroxy-1,8-cineol. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of M. ramannianusin this reaction.

Este artigo é uma revisão sobre o papel da nutrição no processo da cicatrização. Demonstra as funções dos nutrientes nas etapas da cicatrização e como um estado nutricional inadequado pode interferir de forma negativa neste processo. Diante da alta prevalência de desnutrição no ambiente hospitalar e das suas possíveis consequências neste processo, têm-se cada vez mais investido em prevenção e na valorização da correlação da nutrição e cicatrização. This article is a review of the role of nutrition in the healing process. Demonstrates the functions of nutrients in the stages of healing and the inadequate nutritional status may have a negative impact on this process. Given the high prevalence of malnutrition in hospitals and its possible consequences in this process, have increasingly invested in prevention and the optimization of the correlation of nutrition and healing.
