Terapia a laser de baixa intensidade e Calendula officinalis no reparo de Ășlcera em pĂ© diabĂ©tico
OBJETIVO Evaluar los efectos de la Terapia con LĂĄser de Baja Intensidad aislada y asociada con el aceite de Calendula officinalis en la reparaciĂłn de Ășlceras en pie diabĂ©tico. MĂTODO Estudio de caso clĂnico, experimental, controlado, randomizado, prospectivo, intervencionista, de carĂĄcter cuantitativo. La muestra estuvo compuesta de 32 pacientes diabĂ©ticos, de ambos gĂ©neros. Los participantes fueron distribuidos aleatoriamente en cuatro grupos. EcografĂa Doppler, evaluaciĂłn del Ăndice Tobillo-Brazo, Inventario breve de dolor y escala visual analĂłgica fueron realizados al inicio y despuĂ©s de 30 dĂas. RESULTADOS Hubo reducciĂłn del dolor en los grupos Terapia con LĂĄser de Baja Intensidad y Terapia con LĂĄser de Baja intensidad asociada con los Ăcidos Grasos Esenciales, con pOBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy isolated and associated with Calendula officinalis oil in treating diabetic foot ulcers. METHOD An experimental, randomized, controlled, prospective, interventional clinical case study using a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 32 diabetic patients of both genders. Participants were randomly divided into four groups. Doppler Ultrasound evaluation of the Ankle-Brachial Index, brief pain inventory and analog pain scale were performed at baseline and after 30 days. RESULTS Reduced pain was observed in the Low-level laser therapy and Low-level laser therapy associated with Essential Fatty Acids groups (pOBJETIVO Avaliar os efeitos da Terapia a Laser de Baixa Intensidade isolada e associada ao Ăłleo de Calendula officinalis no reparo de Ășlceras em pĂ© diabĂ©tico.

Low-level laser therapy and Calendula officinalis in repairing diabetic foot ulcers
Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy isolated and associated with Calendula officinalis oil in treating diabetic foot ulcers. METHOD An experimental, randomized, controlled, prospective, interventional clinical case study using a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 32 diabetic patients of both genders. Participants were randomly divided into four groups. Doppler Ultrasound evaluation of the Ankle-Brachial Index, brief pain inventory and analog pain scale were performed at baseline and after 30 days. RESULTS Reduced pain was observed in the Low-level laser therapy and Low-level laser therapy associated with Essential Fatty Acids groups (p<0.01). Regarding the Ankle-Brachial Index and Doppler Ultrasound, all groups remained stable. By analyzing lesion area reduction, Low-level laser therapy associated with Essential fatty acids group showed a significance of p=0.0032, and the Low-level laser therapy group showed p=0.0428. CONCLUSION Low-level laser therapy, performed alone or associated with the Calendula officinalis oil was effective in relieving pain and accelerating the tissue repair process of diabetic foot

Topical action of Buriti oil (Mauritia flexuosa L.) in myositis induced in rats
<div><p>Abstract Purpose: To analyze the topical effects of Buriti oil (Mauritia flexuosa L.) in induced myositis in rats. Methods: Thirty six male rats divided into three groups: Control group (C), induced myositis group (MI) and induced myositis group reated with Mauritia flexuosa L. (MT). After inducing myositis with 1% acetic acid, was topically applied 0.5 ml of Mauritia flexuosa L.extract on the posterior region of the right gastrocnemius muscle in animals belonging to group MT, for 7 and 14 days. Results: The neutrophil number there was statistically significant difference, after 7 and 14 days, between groups C and MI (p <0.001) (p<0.01). The group MT there was a significant difference in relation to MI group in both experimental times with (p<0.001). The number of fibroblasts in the 14 days showed that when comparing the groups M and MT the differences were also significant (p<0.001). As for the DLL, in 7 days, there was a significant difference between group C and MI group (p <0.001). When considering the MT group, there was a significant difference in relation to the MI group (p <0.001). Conclusion: The extract of Mauritia flexuosa L. leaves lessened acute and chronic inflammation, increased fibroblast proliferation and reduced macroscopically edema.</p></div
