RESUMO
Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o impacto da incontinência urinária feminina sobre a qualidade de vida (QV), levando em consideração o resultado do estudo urodinâmico. A incontinência urinária é queixa frequente em mulheres, afetando negativamente a QV. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo transversal, retrospectivo, em banco de dados contendo informações sociodemográficas, clínicas e do estudo urodinâmico e os escores de QV da versão brasileira do King's Health Questionnaire de pacientes atendidas em hospital universitário. Resultados: Não foi observada diferença no impacto dos diferentes diagnósticos urodinâmicos, inclusive exames normais, sobre os domínios percepção geral de saúde e impacto da incontinência. Conclusão: Comparada com a incontinência de esforço e exames normais, a incontinência mista mostrou piores escores nos domínios limitações físicas e limitações das atividades diárias. Já a hiperatividade do detrusor esteve associada a piores escores de limitações das atividades diárias e sono, comparada com a incontinência de esforço, e de limitações físicas, comparada com exames normais.(AU)
Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of female urinary incontinence on quality of life, according to urodynamic diagnosis. Urinary incontinence is a frequent complaint among women and affects the quality of life negatively. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study using a database containing sociodemographic and clinical information, the results from urodynamics and the scores of the Brazilian version of the King's Health Questionnaire of patients attended at a university hospital was performed. Results: There was no difference in the impact of urodynamics diagnosis, including normal exams, in the scores of the general health perception and incontinence impact domains. Conclusion: When compared to normal exams and urinary stress incontinence, mixed incontinence showed lower scores in the role limitations and physical limitations domains. Detrusor overactivity was associated with lower scores in the sleep and role limitations domains, in comparison with urinary stress incontinence, and in the physical limitation domain, compared to normal exams.(AU)

Native perennial legume Adesmia bicolor reveals characteristics that are key to securing persistence under grazing. Literature on the diversity and symbiotic effectiveness of indigenous rhizobia-nodulating A. bicolor in central Argentina is limited. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine phenotypic and genotypic variability as well as biological N-fixation effectiveness in rhizobia isolated from A. bicolor nodules. To this end, repetitive genomic regions were analyzed using ERIC primers. In the greenhouse, plants were grown under a (i) N-fertilized treatment, (ii) N-free control treatment, and (iii) rhizobia inoculation treatment. Dry weight and N-content were analyzed. All isolates belonged to Rhizobium genus and showed high symbiotic effectiveness. The N-content/subterranean N-content ratio in aerial and subterranean parts of inoculated plants was higher than that observed in N-fertilized plants during the vegetative stage. Results from this study demonstrate that symbiosis between native rhizobial strains and A. bicolor is very effective.
