Spatial distribution of dengue disease in municipality of Mossoró, Rio Grande d...
Bessa Júnior,Francisco Narcísio; Nunes,Renan Flávio de França; Souza,Marcos Antonio de; Medeiros,Antônio Carlos de; Marinho,Maria Jocileide de MedeirosThe dengue viral infection is one of the most relevant vector-borne diseases in the world. The disease can manifest in a variety of forms, from asymptomatic to a condition of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The last reported cases in Brazil correspond to 80% of the cases reported in the Americas, which emphasizes the magnitude of the problem. This study was conducted using Geographic Information System (GIS) te...
Prevalência da deficiência da glicose-6-fosfato desidrogenase em doadores de sa...
Maia,Ulysses Madureira; Batista,Danielle Cristiny de Azevedo; Pereira,Wogelsanger Oliveira; Fernandes,Thales Allyrio Araújo de MedeirosGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common human enzymopathy. It affects as many as 330 million individuals worldwide. This deficiency may determine neonatal jaundice, chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia and acute hemolytic anemia induced by drugs, infections and broad bean ingestion. The efficacy of blood transfusion is decreased when the donor is G6PD deficient. In this study, ...
Comparative study between the effects of hyaluronic acid and acid galactan puri...
Cruz,Ana Katarina Menezes da; Pereira,Wogelsanger Oliveira; Santos,Elizeu Antunes dos; Carvalho,Maria Goretti Freire; Medeiros,Aldo da CunhaPURPOSE: To compare the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) and of AG on the healing of intestine wounds. METHODS: The semi-purified extract of the eggs of the mollusc was obtained by fractionation with ammonium sulfate and purification for ion-exchange chromatography. The obtained galactans were eluted in water (neutral galactan) and in 0.1 and 0.2M NaCl (acidic galactans). The in vivo study was performed with 45 "...
