Phytoceutical Isoquercitrin and Ethanolic Extracts from Pequi (Caryocar coriaceum Wittm) Reverse Alcohol Withdrawal-Induced Anxiety in Adult Zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Pharmacotherapy in Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS), which is a mental disorder, generally involves benzodiazepines due to their action via GABA, but their side effects, such as excessive sedation, mental confusion and risk of dependence, are considerable. It is important to investigate the anxiolytic potential of plants such as Caryocar coriaceum, due to the presence of secondary metabolic compounds, such as isoquercitrin, capable of promoting the reduction of anxiety during AWS. We evaluated the anxiolytic-like potential of ethanolic extracts from the leaves (EEPL) and pulp (EEPP) of C.

A Rare Cause of Scalp Swelling in Infants: Two Case Reports.

Delayed subaponeurotic fluid collection (DSFC) is an uncommon condition that causes scalp swelling in infants, usually appearing within the first weeks to months of life. Although the precise etiology is unclear, DSFC is frequently associated with instrumental or traumatic deliveries. We report two cases of DSFC: a 12-week-old boy and a six-week-old girl, both presenting with progressive, fluctuant scalp swelling without any history of trauma.

Purification, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity Against Candida parapsilosis and Staphylococcus aureus of a Highly Stable Type-1 Cystatin from Terminalia catappa L. Seeds.

Introduction: Clinic infections caused by various microorganisms are a public health concern. The rise of new strains resistant to traditional antibiotics has exacerbated the problem. Thus, the search for new antimicrobial molecules remains highly relevant.

Gas Chromatography-mass Spectrometry analysis, Biotoxicity and Antibiofilm Activities of Syzygium aromaticum against Corynebacterium diphtheriae.

The objective of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of Syzygium aromaticum essential oil (SAEO), both as its toxicity and biological activities on Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The essential oil (EO) was obtained by hydrodistillation and verified by GC-MS. The main chemical components were eugenol (48.
