The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with geographic access to health services by tuberculosis patients in three State capitals in Northeast Brazil. The sample consisted of new tuberculosis cases reported in 2007. The study used data from the Information System on Notifiable Diseases and the National Registry of Healthcare Organizations. Addresses of households and health services were geocoded, and difficult access was defined as a distance greater than 800 meters from the household ...

Mangiferin is present in various parts of Mangifera indica L. and has proven biological activities, such as antioxidant capabilities. The aim of this work was to evaluate the chemical composition of teas prepared from M. indica leaves, their potential use as a source of mangiferin and their total phenolic compounds. Teas were prepared with young and mature leaves of M. indica at three (medicinal plant: solvent) ratios utilizing three different preparation techniques. The mangiferin content was analyzed ...

Crusts are responsible for the reduction of infiltration into soil and increase in runoff during rainfall and irrigation. In a four-ha castor bean field, seven plots (about 1 m2 each) with visible soil crusts, and seven without crust, were marked and measurements were made of hydraulic conductivity (Ks), sorptivity (S), initial (θ0) and final (θs) volumetric water content, sheer strength (τ), as well as grain yield. The non-crusted soils were three times more conductive (0.085 ± 0.014 mm s−1 vs 0.025 ± 0.008 ...

However, the skin has layers that resist the penetration of drugs. Thus, new strategies have been researched and the latest pharmaceutical studies point to the use of physical and chemical methods aimed at the development of new drug delivery systems, ...

Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is an important parameter used in numerous applications, such as climatological and hydrological studies, as well as for water resources planning and management. There are several methods to estimate ETo, being that the FAO Penman-Monteith (EToPM) method is considered standard. This method needs many parameters (solar radiation, air temperature, humidity and wind speed), however there are still many uncovered areas, suggesting the need for methods of calculating evapotranspiration ...

The success of bTB eradication and control programs is based on early detection and the removal of reactors from a herd thus routine testing and cull strategy have been applied globally. Since the late nineteenth century, the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) has been the primary antemortem test available to support bTB eradication campaigns. Due to the TST limitations in terms of Se and Sp, the credibility ...
