Disposable immunosensors based on field effect transistors with single-walled carbon nanotubes (NTFET) were applied for the first time to clinical samples of undiluted blood serum and saliva for the determination of C-reactive protein (CRP), and validated by comparison with ELISA.The NTFET showed comparable analytical performance with the ELISA when applied to clinical samples, which means that NTFET can be used as an alternative to ELISA. Also, a high correlation between the serum and salivary CRP ...

In this study, 1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, [HMIM]HSO4, ionic liquid, was successfully applied as a catalyst in the biodiesel production through the esterification reaction of oleic acid with methanol. A response surface methodology (RSM) known as Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was applied to optimize the main experimental reaction conditions, using a set of 27 experiments. This optimization was based on the maximization of both the conversion of oleic acid and the Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) ...

A simple methodology to design metal-free porphyrin (meso-tetra-(1-naphthyl)porphyrin) and their corresponding transition metal complexes (Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(III) and Mn(III)) is described. These porphyrins were fully characterized by elemental analysis, HRMS-ESI, UV–vis absorption, steady state fluorescence emission, theoretical calculations and electrochemical analysis. Photo-stability and singlet oxygen generation species were also evaluated. Spectroscopic studies and molecular docking ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of implementing a care bundle for preventing peri-intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) in preterm newborns. A longitudinal, quantitative, quasi-experimental study was conducted with preterm newborns from a neonatal unit. The study was divided into 2 stages: the first consisted of a retrospective cohort of newborns (control group) not exposed to the bundle, and the second consisted of 5 practical steps of implementing a care bundle for preventing PIVH ...

Background and Study Aims: Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) is a common finding in chronic liver disease, but it has not been evaluated in hepatosplenic schistosomiasis, a significant cause of noncirrhotic portal hypertension worldwide. Our study was aimed at comparing cirrhosis with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis with regard to the endoscopic and histological findings of PHG. Patients and Methods: We included 43 patients with a history of upper digestive hemorrhage, 22 with cirrhosis and 21 ...

Magnetic fabric and rock magnetism studies were performed on 32 mafic dikes of a Proterozoic dike swarm from the southern São Francisco Craton (SFC; Minas Gerais State, SE Brazil). Magnetic anisotropies were determined by applying anisotropy of low-field magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and anisotropy of remanent magnetization (ARM). The latter was performed imposing both anhysteretic (total (AAR) and partial (pAAR)) and isothermal remanence magnetizations (AIRM). Partial anhysteretic remanence anisotropy ...

The development of fiberoptic endoscopy was a major advance for the diagnosis and treatment of elevated mucosal gastrointestinal lesions. Whereas moderate-sized polyps are easily resectable, flat or slightly elevated mucosal lesions are essentially difficult to manage with conventional polypectomy snare devices. Currently, lift-and-cut and strip-biopsy techniques are the methods of choice for the latter types, but experience with these cumbersome procedures is limited.1 Herein, we present a new ...

A quantitative study was undertaken to assess the plasma and tissue levels, tissue distribution and skin (ear) absorption of the sesquiterpene α-humulene, the main active constituent isolated from the plant Cordia verbenacea (Boraginaceae), after oral, intravenous and topical administration in mice. The α-humulene levels were quantified by GC-MS analysis. The peak α-humulene concentration was achieved 15 min following its oral administration (150 mg/kg). Then, the α-humulene plasma concentration gradually ...

The herbivory activity of the bordered patch larvae (Chlosyne lacinia, Lepidoptera) on leaves of a Brazilian population of Tithonia diversifolia and the antifeedant potential of its leaf rinse extract were investigated. The caterpillars fed only on the adaxial face, where the density of glandular trichomes is very low, and avoided the abaxial face, which contains high levels of trichomes. Deterrent activity against the larvae was observed in leaf discs treated with leaf rinse extract at concentrations ...

Field experiments were conducted in storage silos to evaluate carbon dioxide sensors to monitor spoilage in grain prior to spoilage detection by traditional methods such as visual inspections and temperature cables. Carbon dioxide concentrations in the storage silo were monitored up to eight months and correlated to the presence of stored-product insects, molds and mycotoxin levels in the stored grain. The data showed that safe grain storage was observed at CO 2 concentrations of 400 to 500 ppm. ...

Sarcopenia describes an age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function that ultimately impairs metabolism and leads to poor balance, frequent falling, limited mobility, and a reduction in quality of life. Here we investigate the pathogenesis of sarcopenia through a proteomic shotgun approach. In brief, we employed tandem mass tags to quantitate and compare the protein profiles obtained from young versus old rat slow-twitch type of muscle (soleus) and a fast-twitch type of muscle ( ...
