Pesticides are chemicals used indiscriminately in Brazil to control pests in agricultural crops. These products are classified into herbicides, insecticides and fungicides and can accumulate in the environment. A large number of epidemiological studies in rural workers have suggested a strong association with the increased risk of cancer in the group exposed to these compounds due to their genotoxic properties....
METHOD VALIDATION FOR HS-SPME / GC-MS FOR DETERMINATION OF CARBARYL IN BLOOD PLASMA. The aim this research is to develop a HS-SPME/GC–MS method to analyze the carbaryl in blood plasma samples of the rural workers, who live round the perimeter of Chapada do Apodi-CE. This was achieved by chromatographic signal of the 1-naftol, degradation product of carbaryl with the intention of evaluating the degree of exposur...
Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a rare neoplasm, the majority of cases of which are non‑Hodgkin’s, diffuse large B‑cell (DLBCL). We report the first case of an adult with PCL B‑cell lymphoblastic lymphoma whose disease evolution was grim. A 52‑year‑old male reported dyspnea and facial swelling lasting for 4 months and upon a physical examination he presented bradycardia, jugular venous engorgement, and hypoph...
Os pesticidas são produtos químicos de uso disseminado no controle das pragas nas lavouras agrícolas. Estes produtos são classificados em herbicidas, inseticidas e fungicidas e podem acumular-se no meio ambiente. Um grande número de estudos epidemiológicos em trabalhadores rurais sugeriu um aumento do risco de câncer no grupo exposto a pesticidas. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a presença de anormalidades cr...
