Helichrysum italicum (H. italicum) is a halophyte shrub with bright yellow flowers strong curry-like aroma. The essential oils of H. have been used in the production cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, due to their antiallergic anti-inflammatory properties. In agri-food sector, can be for seasoning flavoring food, as natural food preservatives. Here, we report on composition, bioactive compounds, nutritive value flowers. Flowers were mainly composed carbohydrates (>80 % dry weight), followed by...

Introdução: Pacientes neurocríticos, como aqueles com traumatismo cranioencefálico ou acidente vascular cerebral, frequentemente necessitam de ventilação mecânica invasiva devido ao rebaixamento do nível consciência. Embora essencial, a prolongada pode causar complicações, dificultando o desmame e aumentando mortalidade. Objetivo: Descrever manejo ventilatório pacientes neurocríticos hospitalizados em unidades terapia intensiva. Métodos: Trata-se um estudo prospectivo, observacional...

High-fat diet-induced obesity detrimentally affects brain function by inducing chronic low-grade inflammation. This neuroinflammation is, at least in part, likely to be mediated microglia, which are the main immune cell population brain. Microglia express a wide range of lipid-sensitive receptors and their activity can modulated fatty acids that cross blood-brain barrier. Here, combining live imaging FRET technology we assessed how different modulate microglia activity. We demonstrate...

Objetivo: compreender o uso do aciclovir intravenoso no tratamento da meningite herpética viral. Revisão de Literatura: A viral é uma inflamação das meninges, membranas que envolvem cérebro e a medula espinhal, compostas por três camadas: pia-máter, aracnoide dura-máter. Essas estruturas protegem sistema nervoso central abrigam células como fibroblastos, imunes células-tronco neurais. Os sintomas mais comuns incluem febre, presente em 60% dos casos, cefaleia 80% pacientes, além declínio...

In the same location variability among orchards may be high, which is reflected in fruit quality, and it associated mainly due to growers’ practices. This study aimed identify physicochemical within pears ( Pyrus communis L. cv Rocha) from three of under climate conditions correlate with mineral composition. Fruit harvested at optimal harvest time were characterized during ripening shelf-life conditions, 7 d 20 ± 2 °C. Principal component analysis was used show differences fruit’s...
