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.

Antimicrobial Effect of Diphenyl Ditelluride (PhTe) in a Model of Infection by in .

Diphenyl ditelluride (PhTe), an organotelluric compound with pharmacological and toxicological attributes, has shown promise in microorganism studies. , an alternative animal model, is gaining popularity for novel antimicrobial research due to its cost-effectiveness, versatility, and similarity to vertebrate models. Given the rising antibiotic resistance, particularly in (), the exploration of novel antimicrobials is of utmost importance.

Bone Marrow Inequality: The Importance of Exchanges in Cancer Education.

This article described an exchange program in Kenya, organized by the International Federation of Medical Students Associations at the University of Nairobi. The author, motivated by parallels between Kenya and Brazil, engaged with hematologic, pain management, and palliative care departments at Kenyatta National Hospital. Despite the global advancements in bone marrow transplant (BMT) procedures, Kenya has only recently begun to offer this treatment, with the first transplant occurring in 2022 at a private facility.

Two new species of Metrichia Ross 1938 (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae) from the Brazilian Amazon biome.

Two new species of Metrichia from Roraima State, Brazil, are described and illustrated, representing additional records of Metrichia from the Brazilian Amazon biome. The male of Metrichia iracema sp nov. is characterized by inferior appendages each elongate, with an acute apical projection and a deep C-shaped notch, tergum X apex slightly incised, and dorsal hook with a longer dorsal branch extending anterad.

Cinnamon powder intake enhances the effect of caloric restriction on white adipose tissue in male rats.

Caloric Restriction (CR) and cinnamon promote several benefits, including the modulation of lipid metabolism and body fat mass. We hypothesize that cinnamon may act as a mimetic of restriction or enhance the effects of caloric restriction on adipose tissue. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into Control (CT, n = 8) and Cinnamon (CIN, n = 7), with free access to standard chow; Calorie Restriction (CR, n = 8) and Calorie Restriction with Cinnamon (CIN-CR, n = 7), subjected to a 30% reduction in food intake compared to the average consumption of CT rats.
