Chemical Composition and In Vitro

The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and the identification and quantification of components were achieved with the use of GC-MS analysis. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by the method of sequestration of DPPH. Essential oils were used for study the cytotoxic front larvae of Artemia salina. In the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of essential oils, we employed the disk-diffusion method. The potential larvicide in mosquito larvae of the third stage of development of Aedes aegypti to different concentrations of essential oils was evaluated. The major compounds found in the essential oils of M. piperita were linalool (51.8%) and epoxyocimene (19.3%). The percentage of antioxidant activity was 79.9±1.6%. The essential oil showed LC50 = 414.6 μg/mL front of A. saline and is considered highly toxic. It shows sensitivity and halos significant inhibition against E. coli. The essential possessed partial larvicidal efficiency against A. aegypti

Análise comparativa entre a recuperação pós-operatória entre pacientes submetidos a cirurgia laparoscópica e aberta de apendicectomia

O presente trabalho acadêmico-científico tem como objetivo realizar uma análise comparativa da recuperação pós-operatória entre pacientes submetidos à cirurgia laparoscópica e cirurgia aberta de apendicectomia, avaliando as vantagens no tempo de recuperação. A apendicite aguda é a causa mais comum de cirurgia abdominal, com uma ocorrência ao longo da vida em 7 a 10% das pessoas, e a apendicite complicada é causa frequente de cirurgia em crianças com menos de 5 anos, levando a resultados clínicos insatisfatórios, como maior probabilidade de infecção do local cirúrgico e reinternações. A técnica cirúrgica aberta é frequentemente a escolhida para tratar a apendicite aguda, no entanto, a cirurgia laparoscópica tem sido vista como uma alternativa atrativa devido a fatores como menores taxas de infecção no local da incisão, redução da perda sanguínea, dor pós-operatória mínima e menor possibilidade de cicatrizes visíveis. Em relação ao tempo de recuperação, a apendicectomia laparoscópica apresenta retorno mais rápido às atividades diárias e um prognóstico mais positivo. No entanto, a apendicectomia aberta é uma opção mais segura e confiável em casos complicados, gravidez, DPOC e falência cardíaca. Conclui-se que cada caso deve ser avaliado individualmente e a escolha da técnica deve ser feita considerando as circunstâncias do paciente

Impact of Revegetation on Ecological Restoration of a Constructed Soil in a Coal Mining in Southern Brazil

The main problems in the constructed soils are the generation of acid mine drainage promoted by the presence of coal debris in the overburden layer and the compaction of the topsoil promoted by the machine traffic when the material used in the overburden cover is more clayey. This book chapter aimed to show an overview of the impact of more than a decade of revegetation with different perennial grasses on the chemical, physical, and biological quality of constructed soil after coal mining. The study was carried out in a coal mining area, located in southern Brazil. The soil was constructed in early 2003 and the perennial grasses, Hemarthria altissima; Paspalum notatum cv. Pensacola; Cynodon dactylon cv Tifton; and Urochloa brizantha; were implanted in November/December 2003. In 11.5, 17.6 and 18 years of revegetation soil samples were collected and the chemical, physical, and biological attributes were determined. Our results show that liming is an important practice in the restoration of these strongly anthropized soils because this positively impacts the plants’ development, facilitating the roots system expansion. Biological attributes such as soil fauna and the microorganism’s population are the attributes that possibly takes longer to establish itself in these areas

VESICULITE COM EVOLUÇÃO PARA DEGENERAÇÃO TESTICULAR EM PORQUINHO-DA-ÍNDIA

Pathologies in the male reproductive system are common in both animals and humans. Male guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), the species presented in the following report, have 4 accessory glands in their reproductive system. However, vesiculitis, inflammation of one of these glands, can affect most species. The treatment chosen by the responsible veterinarian was orchiectomy surgery, to remove both testicles, aiming at not exposing the animal to the risks of aggravating the condition. However, the procedure was not authorized by the tutors and, as a consequence, there was a negative evolution of the condition and the patient presented a decrease in the length of the testicles. The aggravation led to the procedure being performed as an emergency treatment. However, the animal also had other alterations that increased pre, trans and postoperative risks, such as liver disease, nephropathy and cystitis, in addition to increased hematocrit and MCV and low MCC, leukopenia and mild lymphocytosis. Thus, the present work reports a case of testicular degeneration due to vesiculitis in a guinea pig.Patologias no aparelho reprodutor masculino são comuns tanto em animais quanto em humanos. Os Porquinhos-da-índia (Cavia porcellus) machos, espécie apresentada no seguinte relato, apresentam 4 glândulas acessórias no seu aparelho reprodutivo. No entanto, a vesiculite, inflamação de uma dessas glândulas, pode afetar a maioria das espécies. O tratamento eleito pelo veterinário responsável foi a cirurgia de orquiectomia, para retirada de ambos os testículos, visando a não exposição desse animal aos riscos do agravamento da afecção. No entanto, o procedimento não foi autorizado pelos tutores e, como consequência, houve uma evolução negativa do quadro e o paciente apresentou diminuição do comprimento dos testículos. O agravamento levou a realização do procedimento como tratamento de urgência. Todavia, o animal também apresentava outras alterações que aumentavam os riscos no pré, trans e pós-operatório, como hepatopatia, nefropatia e cistite, além do hematócrito e VCM aumentados e CHCM baixo, leucopenia e discreta linfocitose. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho relata um caso de degeneração testicular em decorrência de um quadro de vesiculite em porquinho-da-índia

Soil biochemistry and microbial activity in vineyards under conventional and organic management at Northeast Brazil.

The São Francisco Submedium Valley is located at the Brazilian semiarid region and is an important center for irrigated fruit growing. This region is responsible for 97% of the national exportation of table grapes, including seedless grapes. Based on the fact that orgThe São Francisco Submedium Valley is located at the Brazilian semiarid region and is an important center for irrigated fruit growing. This region is responsible for 97% of the national exportation of table grapes, including seedless grapes. Based on the fact that organic fertilization can improve soil quality, we compared the effects of conventional and organic soil management on microbial activity and mycorrhization of seedless grape crops. We measured glomerospores number, most probable number (MPN) of propagules, richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species, AMF root colonization, EE-BRSP production, carbon microbial biomass (C-MB), microbial respiration, fluorescein diacetate hydrolytic activity (FDA) and metabolic coefficient (qCO2). The organic management led to an increase in all variables with the exception of EE-BRSP and qCO2. Mycorrhizal colonization increased from 4.7% in conventional crops to 15.9% in organic crops. Spore number ranged from 4.1 to 12.4 per 50 g-1 soil in both management systems. The most probable number of AMF propagules increased from 79 cm-3 soil in the conventional system to 110 cm-3 soil in the organic system. Microbial carbon, CO2 emission, and FDA activity were increased by 100 to 200% in the organic crop. Thirteen species of AMF were identified, the majority in the organic cultivation system. Acaulospora excavata, Entrophospora infrequens, Glomus sp.3 and Scutellospora sp. were found only in the organically managed crop. S. gregaria was found only in the conventional crop. Organically managed vineyards increased mycorrhization and general soil microbial activity

ADENOCARCINOMA EM CORNO UTERINO DE LAGOMORFO

Tumor lesions in the uterus can be more frequently observed in rabbits, the species represented in the present report, than in dogs and cats. Among the most diagnosed diseases in this species are those that affect the female reproductive system, especially the uterus. Uterine adenocarcinoma is a very common disease, 50 to 80% of females over 4 years old are affected. The patient in this report had a neoplasm in both uterine horns and the treatment chosen by the responsible veterinarian was the surgical procedure of ovariohysterectomy, to remove the uterus and ovaries The animal also had liver, kidney and intestinal changes, which increased the risks trans and postoperative. Thus, the present work reports the occurrence of adenocarcinoma as a result of prolonged hormonal stimuli in a female rabbit as an unconventional companion animal.Lesões tumorais em útero podem ser frequentemente mais observadas em coelhos, espécie representada zzno presente relato, que em cães e gatos. Dentre as doenças mais diagnosticadas nesta espécie, estão as que afetam o aparelho reprodutor feminino, principalmente o útero. O adenocarcinoma uterino é uma doença muito frequente, 50 a 80% das fêmeas com mais de 4 anos são afetadas. A paciente deste relato apresentou um quadro de neoplasia em ambos os cornos uterinos e o tratamento eleito pelo veterinário responsável foi o procedimento cirúrgico de ovariohisterectomia, para retirada do útero e ovários O animal também apresentava alterações hepáticas, renais e intestinais, as quais aumentavam os riscos trans e pós-operatório. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho relata a ocorrência de adenocarcinoma em decorrência de estímulos hormonais prolongados em uma coelha como animal de companhia não-convencional

Doarti project : development of technological solution to potentialize the donation process in DF

O DOARTI surgiu no contexto de pandemia da COVID-19. Com a necessidade de isolamento social, por um lado muitas pessoas e famílias tiveram sua renda impactada. Por outro lado e, pelo mesmo motivo, Entidades Filantrópicas/Beneficentes tiveram uma queda abrupta em suas doações. Além disso, a pandemia fez surgir vários projetos visando prover material de apoio às pessoas diretamente relacionadas ao combate da COVID-19, como profissionais de saúde e de segurança pública
