Ultraviolet C as a method of disinfecting medical silicone used in facial prostheses: An in vitro study - Part 2.

Statement Of Problem: Disinfection is an important factor in preserving facial prostheses and maintaining tissue health. However, whether disinfection with ultraviolet C is an effective disinfection method is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effectiveness of irradiation with different exposure durations of an ultraviolet-C light-emitting diode in the disinfection of the silicone (A-588-1; Factor II) used in facial prostheses.

Pilot project. Resveratrol intake by physical active and sedentary older adult women and blood pressure.

Objective: Although the use of resveratrol is widespread, there is a lack of studies concerning its use in older adults who practice regular physical activity. The present study aimed to evaluate how resveratrol influenced anthropometric parameters, heart measures, blood analytes in women participants, aged 60 to 80 years old, distributed in four groups consisting of those who regularly exercise or not, and those who were under resveratrol treatment or not. The older adult women exercised in a Community Center.

Bioresilience to Mercury Chloride of the Brine Shrimp Artemia Salina after Treatment with Homeopathic Mercurius Corrosivus.

Introduction: Finding solutions to mitigate the impact of pollution on living systems is a matter of great interest. Homeopathic preparations of toxic substances have been described in the literature as attenuation factors for intoxication. Herein, an experimental study using and mercury chloride was developed as a model to identify aspects related to bioresilience.

Ultraviolet C as a method of disinfecting medical silicone used in facial prostheses: An in vitro study.

Statement Of Problem: Hygiene and disinfection are important factors for preserving facial prostheses and supporting tissue health. However, a method that does not accelerate degradation or color change is necessary.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effectiveness of irradiation with ultraviolet C light-emitting diode (UV-C LED) light in the disinfection and initial color stability of the silicone (A-588-1; Factor II) used in facial prostheses.
