The photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a combination of using a photosensitizer agent, light and oxygen that can cause oxidative cellular damage. This technique is applied in several cases, including for microbial control. The most extensively studied light sources for this purpose are lasers and LED-based systems. Few studies treat alternative light sources based PDT. Sources which present flexibility, portability and economic advantages are of great interest. In this study, we evaluated the in vitro ...

Trindade is an oceanic archipelago situated roughly 1140 km east of Espírito Santo State, Brazil. It reaches an altitude of 620 m a.s.l. and covers approximately 10 km2. Less than 5% of the island is covered by forest and approximately 60% by herbaceous vegetation. Several new and endemic plant taxa were described in the 1960's, and some of these had not been registered since then. From 1700 to 2005 the Island suffered from large populations of feral mammals, especially goats. Within the framework ...

Abstract The recent signs of recovery of the native and endemic flora of Trindade Island, Brazil, are attributed to the eradication of vertebrates which were introduced on the 18th Century. Three centuries of devastation lead to the disappearance of endemic plant species and to a drastic reduction of vegetation cover and sea bird populations. In 2005 the Brazilian Navy concluded the eradication of feral goats, resulting in the early expansion of vegetation cover on previously barren areas. The only ...

Num primeiro momento do artigo buscarei expor a crítica de Dussel à tradição dependentista, mais especificamente à obra de Ruy Mauro Marini que, segundo Dussel, inverteria a ordem lógica da problemática ao tomar a superexploração do trabalho e não a transferência de valor através do mecanismo da concorrência como fundamento da dependência. Num segundo momento farei um movimento de retorno à formulação da dependência em Marini, sobretudo no já clássico ensaio Dialéctica de la Dependencia e no seu ...

A relatively large and established population of Houttuynia cordata from Itatiaia National Park in Brazil represents the first record of naturalized Saururaceae in South America. Although the species is potentially invasive, unknown mechanisms have prevented its spread to other localities between 1940, when it was recorded in cultivation in Brazil, and the present. The nearest known naturalized population is situated 5,600 km away, in Costa Rica, Central America.

New Findings What is the central question of this study ? How does an acute session of exercise affect food intake of male Wistar rats? What is the main finding and its importance ? Food intake in male Wistar rats is decreased in the first hour after physical exercise independent of the intensity. Moreover, high‐intensity exercise potentiates the anorexic effect of peripheral glucose administration. This work raises new feeding‐related targets that would explain how exercise drives body weight loss. ...

Trypanosoma brucei is an extracellular parasite that causes sleeping sickness. In mammalian hosts, trypanosomes are thought to exist in two major niches: early in infection, they populate the blood; later, they breach the blood-brain barrier. Working with a well-established mouse model, we discovered that adipose tissue constitutes a third major reservoir for T. brucei. Parasites from adipose tissue, here termed adipose tissue forms (ATFs), can replicate and were capable of infecting a naive animal. ...

The first reports of a dead forest on Trindade Island are from the 18 th century. Since then, the tentative identifications of the trees with red wood included Caesalpinia , Acacia , Rapanea , Pisonia , Eugenia and Colubrina , the latter having been confirmed by three independent wood anatomists familiar with Brazilian woods. In the 1960s Johann Becker was the last to sample a live Colubrina glandulosa Perkins var. reitzii on Trindade, which was presumed to be a remnant of the extinct forest. Based on this ...

For four decades it has been suspected that the endemic land snails of Trindade Island, Brazil, were extinct. Here we report finding live Succinea lopesi Lanzieri, 1966 and a species of Happia Bourguignat, 1889 on top of the island's highest peaks. Happia is a new record for the island and possibly also a new endemic species. As Trindade's environment has suffered much degradation due to introduced feral goats, such remote places might have acted as refuges for the snails. With the ongoing recovery ...

The dispersion of palynomorphs in the atmosphere by wind plays an important role in the distribution of plant species and in gene exchanges among populations established on oceanic islands. In this study, we evaluated uninterrupted palynomorph rain for 19 months on Trindade Island (20°30′27″S–29°19′48″W) in the South Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil. The objective of the study was to assess, using Tauber-type samplers, the atmospheric palynomorph population on the island and distinguish species ...

Alcohol consumption is a prehistoric habit. There is archaeological evidence of its use in celebrations, rites or simple crowds of individuals. With the civilizing process, the consumption of alcoholic beverages was incorporated into acceptable social standards.

Despite all the empirical evidence that reveals that alcohol is the most significant ...
