Strength exercise is a strategy applied in sports and physical training processes. It may induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy. The hypertrophy is dependent on the eccentric muscle actions and on the inflammatory response. Here, we evaluate the physiological, immunological, and inflammatory responses induced by a session of strength training with a focus on predominance of the eccentric muscle actions. Twenty volunteers were separated into two groups: the untrained group (UTG) and the trained group ( ...

Human activity is changing environmental conditions on a global scale. Among the ecosystems that are affected by human activities, coral reefs are among the most prominent. In Brazil, the coral reefs of the Corumbau Marine Extractive Reserve (CMER) and Abrolhos National Marine Park (ANMP) in Bahia state have some of the highest coral cover in the South Atlantic Ocean. Hard coral cover, algal cover, and foraminiferal population distribution patterns were used to assess the coral reef benthic environments, ...

The S1-S0 limiting anisotropy of a widely used fluorophore, rhodamine 101, is determined with unprecedented accuracy. From time-resolved and steady-state fluorescence measurements in several solvents, it is shown that the limiting anisotropy of rhodamine 101 is for all practical purposes equal to the theoretical one-photon fundamental anisotropy value of 2/5, both in rigid and in fluid media. This fact, along with the favorable chemical and photophysical properties of rhodamine 101, point to its ...

ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori resistance to metronidazole was detected in 107 (52.97%) of 202 strains. Twenty (9.85%) strains, 18 of them harboring 23S ribosomal DNA mutations, were resistant to clarithromycin. Metronidazole resistance was associated with female gender. Resistance to metronidazole and resistance to clarithromycin were associated. Increasing clarithromycin resistance rates were observed over time.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive dysfunction and death of motor neurons by mechanisms that remain unclear. Evidence indicates that oxidative mechanisms contribute to ALS pathology, but classical antioxidants have not performed well in clinical trials. Cyclic nitroxides are an alternative worth exploring because they are multifunctional antioxidants that display low toxicity in vivo. Here, we examine the effects of the cyclic ...

This work aims to develop novel biomembranes based on PLA, PBS, or their blend and composites, with the Cloisite® 20A nanoclay, as adsorptive materials for metal ions removal. To obtain a membrane with good morphology and thinner diameter of the fibers, a series of nonwoven mats were prepared by electrospinning. To improve the adsorption performance of the electrospun membranes, thermal and acid modifications were carried out in the nanoclay before the electrospinning process, and the final electrospun ...

Oral tumors are a growing health problem worldwide; thus, it is mandatory to establish genetic markers in order to improve diagnosis and early detection of tumors, control relapses and, ultimately, delineate individualized therapies. This study was the first to evaluate and discuss the clinical applicability of a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) probe panel directed to head and neck cancer. Thirty primary oral squamous cell tumors were analyzed using the P428 MLPA probe panel. ...

Saline-sodic soils are a major impediment for agricultural production in semi-arid regions. Salinity and sodicity drastically reduce agricultural crop yields, damage farm equipment, jeopardize food security, and render soils unusable for agriculture. However, many farmers in developing semi-arid regions cannot afford expensive amendments to reclaim saline-sodic soils. Furthermore, existing research does not cover soil types (e.g., Luvisols and Lixisols) that are found in many semi-arid regions of ...

Pesquisar sexualidade na religião é tarefa complexa. Por mais que exista uma tentativa de afastar a religião do debate sobre a sexualidade, é fato que há um importante entrelaçamento entre estas duas categorias. Em todas as sociedades, definem-se as normas sexuais e delineiam-se quais seriam as transgressões, sendo a religião uma das instâncias de sua regulação. No caso do Islã, por estabelecer um código de conduta a ser seguido em todas as esferas da vida dos muçulmanos e das muçulmanas, inclusive ...

The present work evaluates the production of wood–cement particleboards (WCBs) with addition of coconut-husk fibers. Trees of a Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis hybrid were used as wood source. Boards were produced with addition of five coconut-fiber levels (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) to replace the original wood, in a completely randomized design. From each board, specimens were taken to perform physical–mechanical tests (density, water absorption, thickness swelling, static bending, compression ...

Stress is recognized as an adaptive response to potentially harmful environmental stimuli. The primary physiological adaptation to stress is an increase in circulating cortisol levels, which, in excess, can be transferred and incorporated into the oocytes of maturing females, affecting the embryonic developmental program. Additionally, maternal energy availability is an essential environmental factor that modulates this program. Based on this background, we investigated the effects of maternal cortisol ...
