Human skin wounds pose a gathering threat to the public health, carrying an immense epidemiologic and financial burden. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological (NP) treatments have been proposed to the management of wound healing. Physical exercise is a strong NP intervention considered for patients in wound healing.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the joint treatment with an aqueous extract of and WBV on physiological parameters in rats. Wistar rats (=20) were divided equally into four groups: control group (CG), treated with (CHE) group, exposed to 50 Hz of mechanial vibration (VBR), and treated with and exposed to 50 Hz of mechanical vibration (VBR + CHE) daily for 6 weeks.

Background: Whole body vibration (WBV) exercise has been used in health sciences. Authors have reported that changes on the concentration of plasma biomarkers could be associated with the WBV effects. The aim of this investigation is to assess the consequences of exposition of 25 Hz mechanical vibration generated in oscillating/vibratory platform (OVP) on the concentration of some plasma biomarkers and on the weight of rats.

Safe, low-cost, and effective drugs that possess inhibitory activity against dengue virus (DENV) are mostly needed to try to combat the dengue infection worldwide. Medicinal plants have been considered as an important alternative to manage several diseases, such as dengue.
