Microorganisms are becoming resistant to the commonly used chemical disinfectants. Thereby, these chemical products should now be replaced by natural ones. In this context, this research aimed to evaluate the disinfectant activity of the extract and decoction of Libidibia ferrea leaves in different surfaces. Thus, two forms of jucá leaf extraction (decoction and hydroalcoholic extraction) were tested through th...
A dor envolve sensações físicas e psíquicas, e por ter um envolvimento psíquico torna-se difícil defini-la e tratá-la. A International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP, 1983) definiu dor como “urna experiência sensorial e emocional desagradável associada a um dano tecidual presente ou em po tencial, que é descrita como uma injúria Porém a maioria dos pacientes define dor como uma sensação desagradável qu...
Foi avaliada a eficiência do decocto das folhas de cajá (Spondias mombin L.) como antisséptico no pós-cirúrgico de gatos submetidos à orquiectomia e ovariosalpingohisterectomia. Para tal, foram submetidos à castração 45 gatos sem raça definida, divididos em três grupos. O primeiro grupo como controle positivo com Solução Alcoólica de Clorexidine a 0,5%; segundo grupo controle negativo com água de...
The present study aimed to evaluate the possibility of using undecylenic acid, extracted from castor oil (Ricinus communis), as an antiseptic in dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). For this purpose, a prototype of a treadmill, made of castor resin, covered with an acid impregnated adhesive mat, on which the animals of the study were walked, was used. The work was developed with 54 dogs and the samples of the swabs o...
Pain is a very common symptom in patients. It may involve somatic, visceral and neural structures. Neuropathic pain may be chronic with undefined mechanism and that is a challenge for therapy. With the aim of contributing to understand mechanisms and rational therapy for chronic neuropathic pain, we developed this work in order to do an anatomo-pharmacological-behavioral correlation (1) by quantifying spontaneo...
Microorganisms resistant to conventional antimicrobial substances are becoming more prevalent . Accordingly , natural alternat ives have been sought with the use of extracts from medicinal plants whose purpose is to find new compounds with recognized antimicrobial activity. This work aims to show the efficacy of the cajá ( Spondias mombin L.) leaf decoction using the microplate dil ution technique against Staph...
There is growing interest in breeding rheas (Rhea americana) in Brazil. However, there are no data on the yeast microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract of this avian species, and the phenotypic characteristics of these yeasts are not known. Therefore, the aim of this work was to isolate Candida species from the digestive tract of rheas and to evaluate the in vitro antifungal susceptibility and secretion of pho...
