Considering that COVID-19 is a respiratory disease transmitted by contact and places of incarceration are an environment that imposes additional risks for viral spread, this study sought to identify cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in socio-educational units. We evaluated the seroprevalence of IgM and IgG for SARS-CoV-2 in workers and adolescents confined in five socio-educational units. Adolescents and workers te...
α-Terpineol (TPN) is an alcoholic monoterpene present in the essential oil of oregano and thyme, having anticonvulsant, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties. The TPN analgesic activity is associated with its actions in the central nervous system (CNS), what can suggest that TPN can act on dysfunctional chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia (FM). The FM is a chronic rheumatic disease with pathophysiolog...
This study investigated the possible antinociceptive effect of p-cymene in different tests of orofacial nociception. The animals (mice) were pretreated (i.p.) with p-cymene (25, 50, 100 mg/kg), morphine (5 mg/kg), or vehicle (0.2% Tween 80+saline), and were then subsequently administered, subcutaneously into their upper lip: formalin, capsaicin, and glutamate. The nociceptive behavior response was characterized...
The present study investigated the antinociceptive effects of Ocimum basilicum L. (Lamiaceae) leaf essential oil (LEO) and (-)-linalool (LIN) in formalin (2%)-, glutamate (25 µM)- and capsaicin (2.5 µg)- induced orofacial nociception models in mice. The involvement of these substances was further evaluated on the neuronal excitability of the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Male mice (n=8/group) were pretreated separ...
