NATURAL RUBBER - PROPOLIS MEMBRANE IMPROVES WOUND HEALING IN SECOND-DEGREE BURNING MODEL.

Our aim was to evaluate effects of natural rubber membrane (NR) associated with aqueous propolis extract (P) on the wound healing in rats burn model. The membranes were characterized for wettability and pore presence after the membrane preparation by casting the liquid solution in Petri dishes, at different temperatures (27 and 60 °C). Male Wistar rats were divided into treatment groups (n = 5 per group: control without treatment, silver sulfadiazine, NR, NRP) initiated immediately after second-degree burn and maintained during 10 days.

School reintegration of pediatric burn survivors: An integrative literature review.

Background: The school is an essential context for children's social interaction with peers and to develop academic skills. Therefore, a fast reintegration can help children with burns to normalize their life. Thus, school reintegration is an important outcome after burns.

Cultural adaptation to Brazil of the questionnaire Costs of caring for children with cancer.

Objective: to present the cultural adaptation of the questionnaire Costs of caring for children with cancer, offering a valid and reliable tool to assess the economic repercussions of childhood cancer for Brazilian families.

Method: it is a methodological research with a cross-sectional design. The methodological framework to validate the questionnaire was a combined process that included seven steps: translation to Portuguese; first translated consensus version; evaluation by Expert Committee; consensus on the Expert Committee version; back-translation; consensus of back-translated versions; semantic validation.

Ionic silica based hybrid material containing the pyridinium group used as an adsorbent for textile dye.

The present study reports the development of an ionic silica based hybrid material containing the cationic pyridinium group, which was employed for the removal of the Reactive Red 194 textile dye from aqueous solution. Three hybrid material samples were prepared with planned textural and chemical properties, varying the inorganic precursor molar percentage in the sol-gel synthesis. The obtained samples were defined as Py/Si-90, Py/Si-92 and Py/Si-94, where the number specifies the inorganic molar percentage.
