The Influence of High Physical Demand on the Occurrence of Major Muscle and Ligament Injuries in Professional Soccer Athletes: A Systematic Review.

 The present systematic review aimed to investigate the influence of high physical demand on the increase in muscle and ligament injuries in professional soccer athletes.  We analyzed scientific publications to determine the incidences of the main injuries, their causes and mechanisms, and their association with high physical demand. We compared amateur and professional players and assessed the effectiveness of FIFA11+ as a prevention alternative.

The production of care in the routine of Family Health Teams.

Objective: To identify the factors interfering in the production of care in the daily work of health professionals from the Primary Health Care.

Relationship of weight gain with infrared temperatures in Nelore and F1 (Nelore × Angus) heifers reared in two forage production systems1.

Intensive production systems require high-yield genetics as obtained in Bos taurus × Bos indicus crossbreeding. Generally, high-producing taurine cattle are more susceptible to parasites and heat stress. This study evaluated animal performance, heat-stress measurement (infrared temperatures), and internal parasite infection with daily weight gain in heifers from 2 genetic groups (Nelore and F1-Nelore × Angus) reared in 2 forage production systems (with or without crop-livestock system) during 1 yr.
