The aim of this study is to evaluate in rats the anti-constipant potential of Cassia occidentalis (Caesalpiniaceae), a plant whose leaves are used in traditional medicine in Côte d'Ivoire for the treatment of constipation. Loperamide (3 mg/kg bw in 0.9% sodium chloride), administered orally toWistar rats for 3 days, induces the emission of reduced, hard, dry faecal pellets, evidence that these animals had become constipated, as in healthy rats faeces are abundant, soft and moist.

Introduction: Cancer is understood as the term used to agglutinate the more than 100 types of malignant diseases that have as a common characteristic the disordered growth of cells, which can invade adjacent tissues or organs at a distance.

Caching is the practice of storing data in proximity or within a faster storage system for rapid retrieval. This occurs at various locations, and in this paper, we will delve into the different areas where data caching is possible. We will closely examine the challenges associated with caching and explore ways to address them through a comparative study of middle-tier caching solutions. Additionally, we will explore the range of caching solutions available in the computer science ecosystem.

Nutcracker syndrome (CNS) is characterized by compression of the left renal vein (LRV) between the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) due to a reduction in the aortic-mesenteric angle. Stenosis of the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) occurs due to obstruction of urinary flow at the anatomical confluence of the proximal ureter with the renal pelvis, due to intrinsic or extrinsic forces, and may be congenital or acquired.

Commonly constatar que a motricidade oral na clínica fonoaudiológica vem modificando ao longo do tempo e busca entender de que forma essas mudanças ocorreram ao longo dos últimos 5 anos e quais as principais tendências observadas. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, trazendo à tona os principais trabalhos acerca da temática proposta, de maneira qualitativa.

A mortalidade materna e a Razão de Mortalidade Materna (RMM) são importantes indicadores a fim de avaliar a qualidade assistencial. Destaca-se a importância de conhecer as disparidades locais com intuito de subsidiar processos de gestão e políticas de saúde. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi traçar o perfil da mortalidade materna no Amapá, norte do Brasil, entre os anos de 2017 e 2021. Foram coletados dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) sobre os números de mortalidade materna.

Background: Epidemics are an unexpected, often sudden, increase in the incidence of a particular disease within a community or region. A pandemic occurs when an epidemic spreads throughout the world, crossing international borders and affecting large numbers of people. Epidemics and pandemics can be prevented and mitigated by predicting their occurrence well in advance, so medical records can be considered one of the tools through which an epidemic can be predicted.

Colorectal cancer typically originates as a button-like growth termed a polyp on the surface of the intestinal lining or rectum. The intestine or rectumdivision may invade nearby or adjacent lymph nodes. Due to the fact that blood flows from the intestine’s wall and asubstantial portion of the rectum to the liver, colorectal cancer can metastasize to the liver after spreading to adjacent lymph nodes. Machine Learning obtained a good performance for colon cancer detection.

Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of strength and muscle mass in the human body, a skeletal muscle condition that compromises quality of life, physical performance, and mobility. It is a notable condition, especially in older people, but it is not a strict rule, as there are records of cases of sarcopenia in young individuals who also have other pathological factors, such as obesity, cancer, or degenerative diseases.
