Abstract Quantum dots have generated great interest because of their optical properties, both to life sciences and electronics applications. However, possible risks the environment associated with these nanoparticles are still under investigation. The present study aimed evaluate toxicity suspensions cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum Biomphalaria glabrata mollusks, a very sensitive aquatic environmental bioindicator for physical chemical agents. Toxicity was examined by using embryos adult...
Snails of the genus Biomphalaria are intermediate hosts Schistosoma mansoni, main etiological agent schistosomiasis which affects about 236.6 million people in tropical and subtropical regions world. The World Health Organization recommends population control vector snails as one strategies to reduce prevalence incidence schistosomiasis. In this study, molluscicidal antiparasitic activities plumbagin, a naturally sourced naphthoquinone with range biological effects, were evaluated against B....
Schistosomiasis affects over 200 million people and a matter of concern for public health. One the methods combating disease is through control snails species Biomphalaria glabrata. To evaluate molluscicidal activity Anadenanthera colubrina bark extract on embryos adults B. glabrata Artemia salina. The A. salina were exposed 24 h to (0.125, 0.25, 0.5 1.0 mg/mL) diluted in sea water, while same period 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 filtered dechlorinated water. We observed that at concentration 0.125 mg/mL...
Schistosomiasis affects about 260 million people worldwide and the search for new schistosomicidal compounds is urgent. In this study we evaluated in vitro effect of barbatic acid against schistosomulae young worms Schistosoma mansoni. The was through bioassay motility mortality, cellular viability ultrastructural analysis juvenile stages Scanning Electron Microscopy. Barbatic showed a S. mansoni after 3 h exposure. At end 24 h, 100 %, 89.5 52 % 28.5 lethality at concentrations 200, 100, 50...
Objetivo: Construir conhecimento sobre Trichomonas vaginalis/tricomoníase junto à universitários do sexo masculino das áreas de Ciências Exatas e da Natureza, Tecnologia Geociências Informática Universidade Federal Pernambuco. Metodologia: Extensão universitária realizada através Educação em Saúde nos semestres 2017-2019. Foi montado stand com painéis T. auxílio bancadas expostos folders, cartilhas, preservativos, lubrificantes íntimo material laboratório para diagnóstico tricomoníase....
Ionizing radiation has been applied in several areas of knowledge, among them the study radiomodifier activity natural substances. These substances can modify cellular response to damage induced by radiation. Therefore, this work aimed evaluate action Pityrocarpa moniliformis extract on Biomphalaria glabrata embryos exposed 60Co gamma Initially, toxicity tests were performed against B. for choice concentration that did not cause death and embryonic malformation. Then, antioxidant P. with...
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused numerous social, health and educational problems. Social media began to contain an excessive amount of information about the new coronavirus, making it difficult for people find material from reliable sources. Therefore, a space was created build knowledge clarify doubts SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19, in addition developing discussions on educational, technological tools scientific advances search clarifications solutions confrontation current pandemic. actions were...
A Organização Mundial de Saúde estima em 276.4 milhões casos tricomoníase todos os anos, dos quais 70-90% são registrados mulheres idade reprodutiva e destas, 25 gestantes. Pouco se conhece sobre fatores fisiopatológicos imunológicos na associados ao aborto e/ou parto prematuro. Assim, objetivamos investigar as alterações imunopatológicas decorrentes da durante a gestação sua associação com Através busca bibliográfica nas bases do Scielo, Pubmed, Medline Lilacs o cruzamento descritores:...
The university extension activities are a form of interaction between the and community, based on it, different health promotion can be developed, as sustainable development vulnerable communities for example. Syphilis is sexually transmitted infection that present asymptomatic or symptomatic forms has affected countless people around world. In Brazil, number infected increased over years, even with SUS providing treatment, which quite worrying due to congenital syphilis. With growth in...
