Introdução: O Câncer Colorretal (CCR) é o terceiro câncer mais diagnosticado e o segundo lugar quanto ao número de mortes por câncer no mundo. Por outro lado, nas últimas décadas, os gasotransmissores óxido nítrico (NO), monóxido de carbono (CO) e sulfeto de hidrogênio (H2S) demonstraram evidências nas suas interações conjuntas quanto a suas condições farmacológicas bondosos no câncer, contribuindo no impedimento da sua biosssingese e no aumento da sua concentração até um limiar, de modo que desempenhe efeitos anticancerígenos.

Thyroid disease is one of the most prevalent endocrine disorders worldwide. Hypothyroidism can result from any of a variety of abnormalities that lead to insufficient synthesis of thyroid hormones.

Mosquitoes are the major cause of several diseases all over the world. Plants have a variety of small organic molecules which are secondary metabolites, and act as natural insecticides This study was planned to evaluate the insecticidal effect of Citrus clementina Hort. peel and whole fruits of Mimusops elengi L. and Ricinus communis L. on the larvae, pupae & adult stages of Culex quinquefasciatus. The tested plant parts were collected fresh and their efficacy was confirmed at different concentrations.

The knowledge of bacterial communities in the brackish shrimp farming in Kerala is still insufficient.16S rRNA gene-based high-throughput sequencing revealed distinct and diverse microbial communities in the analyzed sample. Analysis of the results showed a high abundance of Betaproteobacteria, followed by Alphaproteobacteria, Clostridia, Actinobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria and Bacilli in the metagenome retrieved from the gut sample. Unclassified bacteria also contributed a significant portion of the metagenome.

Introduction: Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent, both in women and in men, worldwide, including in Brazil, being considered a condition that causes more morbidity and mortality. Objective: To describe the clinical, epidemiological and mortality profile of gastric cancer in Brazil from 2010 to 2020, as well as the prevalence and risk factors involved in the development of this disease. Methodology: To prepare the study, a bibliographic survey was carried out, through research in the LILACS, Scielo and MEDLINE databases, using descriptors.

Introduction: Recognition of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children may be difficult because of the non-specific presenting symptoms, particularly in younger children. Urine culture is still considered the gold standard in diagnosis of UTI, but culture takes 48 hours for the result, and culture facility may not be available in rural setup of our country. So dip sticks have the advantage of being quick and easy to perform, interpret and cost effective. Leucocyte esterase (LE) and Nitrite (NIT) Dip stick test have been commonly used in diagnosing UTI.
