Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth essential oil (EO) is a natural source of bioactive components, having multiple therapeutic applications. Its chemical composition is highly variable, and strictly depends on abiotic factors, resulting in various biological activities. The present study details the utilization of multiple gas chromatographic techniques alongside nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to characterize the essential oil of Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth from Brazil.

The featured dataset, the , showcases a selection of manufacturing primitive tasks (idle, pick, place, and screw), which are basic actions performed by human operators in any manufacturing assembly. The data were captured using a DAVIS240C event camera, an asynchronous vision sensor that registers events when changes in light intensity value occur. Events are a lightweight data format for conveying visual information and are well-suited for real-time detection and analysis of human motion.

(Lamiaceae) is an endemic shrub from the Chicamocha River Canyon in Santander (Colombia). Its essential oil (EO) was distilled from the aerial parts of the plant via steam distillation and microwave-assisted hydrodistillation and analyzed using GC/MS and GC/FID. Hydroethanolic extracts were isolated from dry plants before distillation and from the residual plant material after distillation.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma characterized by a cluster of differentiation-30 positivity. Subtypes are characterized by positive or negative anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) expression. ALCLs account for about 10% to 15% of all pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphomas and more than 90% of the cases are ALK-positive.

Introduction: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) infections have become widespread and a challenge in hospitalized patients. The threat of infection by intractable enterococci and the possibility that vancomycin resistance could involve pneumococci or staphylococci advocate for careful surveillance of resistant strains.

Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with VRE colonization in pediatric patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in the period between January 2012 and June 2013.

With the purpose of assessing the damages to N95 respirator masks over time and to estimate their expiration after use in clinical practice, this study was based on the descriptive analysis of N95 cone-shaped masks collected by nursing assistants after one, five, 15, and 30 consecutive days of use. Personal identification marks were founds in every respirator already on the first day of use. From the fifth day onward, all masks presented some type of dirt while folds were observed in more than 80% of the devices.
