Studies show that propolis has antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and immunomodulatory properties, and may protect against diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. We aimed to extract compounds of brown propolis with hydroalcoholic solvents and evaluate their cytotoxic activity on tumor and non-tumor cells by MTT test. We tested the solute:solvent ratio (ethanol:water) and extraction time in a Shaker incubator (710 rpm) before conducting a central composite rotational design (CCRD) to optimize time and solvent mixture.

Article Synopsis
- Aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) contain perfluorinated surfactants that can harm the environment and their ecotoxicity was tested on various organisms.
- Different concentrations of AFFF (A1, A2, A3) exhibited toxic effects on Artemia salina, with impacts seen at varying concentration thresholds, while Lactuca sativa showed negative effects on seed germination and growth metrics.
- Earthworm Eisenia fetida was notably affected by higher concentrations A2 and A3, while no toxicity was observed in Macaca mullata renal cells, indicating a need for safer AFFF usage practices.
Objectives: to synthesize and analyze evidence on intrauterine device insertion by nurses in Primary Health Care.
Methods: an integrative review, carried out in the BDENF, CINAHL, LILACS, SciELO, Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science databases in June 2022, delimiting the period from 1960 to 2022.
Results: 141 articles were identified in the initial search, and 10 studies made up the final sample.
Averrhoa carambola L. presents in its composition diversity of nutrients and vitamins. The present study aimed to extract water and fat-soluble compounds from this fruit at different stages of maturation (green and mature), perform the physical-chemical characterization as well as evaluate its cytotoxicity against hepatoma cells of Rattus norvegicus (HTC).

Rev Lat Am Enfermagem
September 2020
Objective: to understand the use of integrative and complementary practices as a health promotion action.
Method: qualitative study, action-participant type, with the application of Paulo Freire's Research Itinerary, in which 30 Primary Health Care professionals participated. Thematic research was developed with two Primary Care Units, one that used integrative and complementary practices in daily life and another that focused more on allopathic concepts of assistance.
