Summary: This study compares the effects of different fertilizer sources and application methods on sugarcane yield through field experiments conducted in south-central Brazil during two harvest seasons. The results show that in the early harvest season, the combination of liquid fertilizer and solid fertilizer applied under straw resulted in the highest sugarcane stalk and sugar yields, with an increase of up to 33% compared to other treatments. In the late harvest season, the use of liquid fertilizer in spring with low rainfall led to a 25% higher sugarcane stalk yield. This highlights the importance of considering the harvest time in fertilization management to promote sustainable production systems.

Summary: The effectiveness of neurorehabilitation in stroke patients is influenced by their baseline clinical features and nutritional status. Malnutrition, either pre-stroke or due to ischemic injury, impairs rehabilitation outcomes, while a proper nutritional status promotes neuroplasticity and functional recovery. Nutrition strategies based on food components with oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties can help improve nutritional status and support satisfactory rehabilitative outcomes in stroke patients.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between dysphagia in stroke patients and their nutritional status and prognosis. Based on a retrospective study of 789 stroke patients, it was found that patients with different nutritional levels had significant differences in infections, body temperature, standardized swallowing assessment, and NIH stroke scale scores. Nutritional status was significantly correlated with prognosis.
