Article Synopsis
- Cyperus articulatus L. (priprioca) is traditionally used in the Amazon for its aromatic properties and medicinal benefits, particularly for treating inflammatory diseases using its rhizomes.
- This study explores the phytochemistry and the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving (antinociceptive) effects of its essential oil (CAEO) through laboratory tests on cells and living mice.
- Results indicated that CAEO significantly reduced inflammatory markers in cell cultures and lowered leukocyte migration and pain responses in mice, highlighting its potential as a natural remedy for inflammation and pain.
The diversity of plant-pollinator interactions is grounded in floral resources, with nectar considered one of the main floral rewards plants produce for pollinators. However, a global evaluation of the number of animal-pollinated nectar-producing angiosperms and their distribution world-wide remains elusive. We compiled a thorough database encompassing 7621 plant species from 322 families to estimate the number and proportion of nectar-producing angiosperms reliant on animal pollination.

It does so with a view to exploring how mining may be influencing the spread of coronavirus, not only within municipalities where the sector is widespread but also other areas of the Amazon. The analysis draws on findings from qualitative research and case studies of selected mining municipalities in Brazil.

Mechanisms underlying increased susceptibility to infections are poorly understood. Chronic ethanol consumption induced increased mortality rates, higher burden and reduced neutrophil recruitment into the airways.

Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious pulmonary circulation disease caused by several etiologies, including schistosomiasis. The present study retrospectively evaluated the clinical and hemodynamic characteristics of patients with schistosomal PAH (PAH-Sch) compared to those of non-Sch PAH patients (non-Sch PAH).
Methods: Patients treated at the Pronto-Socorro Cardiológico de Pernambuco and diagnosed by right cardiac catheterization were divided into PAH-Sch and non-Sch PAH groups.
