Background: Spiritist “passe” is a type of Layingon of hands (LOH) commonly adopted in Latin America countries and there are no studies investigating this practice in animal models. Objective: Evaluate the effects of Spiritist “passe” (spiritual healing) in the animal model Drosophila melanogaster by using Epithelial Tumor Test.
Phosphorus (P) is a macronutrient that performs functions in several physiological processes, becoming essential for the proper growth and development of plants. P limiting conditions, causes several damages, since it affects the cell homeostasis, promoting reductions in the photosynthetic rate, in respiration, and consequently can cause reductions in the production of cultures. This review shows the advances in the understanding of the physiological mechanisms of plants to increase the efficiency in the absorption of P under limiting conditions.
O conceito de cuidados em saúde da mulher fica muito restrito à saúde reprodutiva, e não aos cuidados do processo saúde-doença, levando ao que determinam fatores socioeconômicos, culturas e históricos. A atenção integral a saúde da mulher diz respeito aos processos de promoção, proteção, assistência e recuperação. A evolução de uma lesão de cérvix de baixo grau como NIC 1 e NIC 2 para uma neoplasia/carcinoma invasivo pode acontecer em uma década ou mais anos. É tempo suficiente para intervenção que poderá mudar o curso da vida desta mulher.
This study investigated how operating conditions in convective drying in fixed bed influences affects yield and composition of the essential oils of sacaca (Croton cajucara Benth) and alfavaca (Ocimum micranthum Willd). The essential oil yields were highest (0.48% w/w for sacaca and 4.66% w/w for alfavaca) with 100 g of moist leaves, 0.47 m/s of drying air velocity and 60 °C of drying air temperature. Low temperatures and low loads of wet material (2.19 mol/L) produced the highest content of linalool, a major compound of sacaca essential oil.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of acute babassu mesocarp flour (BM) supplementation on aerobic capacity, oxidative stress, and muscle damage in recreational runners. 14 men (26,4±8,3 years) were randomly assigned and ingested one single dose of (BM) and maltodextrin (PLA) supplements and performed the 3200m running test. There was a 7-days washout period between each supplementation. Biochemical parameters such as serum glucose, malondialdehyde, creatine kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase were evaluated.
Objetivou-se analisar a influência da sanitização de sementes com hipoclorito de sódio (NaClO) na germinação de sementes e qualidade de mudas de Delonix regia. O delineamento do experimento foi inteiramente casualizado, com os parâmetros analisados por meio do arranjo fatorial 2 x 2 + 1 tratamento adicional, sendo duas doses de NaClO (2,5% e 5,0%) combinadas com dois tempos (5 min e 10 min) mais o tratamento controle.
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of creatine supplementation on the biomarkers of oxidative stress in the red blood cells from trained rats.
The indigo carmine dye is widely used within the textile industry, however its high toxicity for bringing several harms to humans and the environment. To minimize the consequences of its use, several methods have been studied, among them the degradation by biological agents has been of great interest. Amylases, which are hydrolytic enzymes commonly used in the textile industry, can be quite effective in the biodegradation of dyes. This study aims to produce amylases with broad stability and ability to discolor of dyes used in the industry.
Objetivo: Refletir como a religiosidade e a espiritualidade são importantes para a pessoa vivendo com HIV e como esse aspecto da vida pode contribuir para melhorar a adesão terapêutica. Revisão Bibliográfica:O uso da religiosidade e espiritualidade é uma estratégia cada vez mais utilizada por aqueles que convivem com doenças crônicas, uma vez que evidências científicas demonstram que o uso de tal estratégia podem influenciar positivamente nos aspectos relacionados à saúde.
Playing is one of the most important aspects in the child's life, being an important tool in the process of reducing pain caused by hospitalization. Thus, the playful resource favors the child's social, emotional and intellectual development. In addition, it reduces stress, fear and anxiety caused by hospitalization. Thus, the objective of this work was to carry out an integrative literature review on playing with hospitalized children.
