Antimicrobial and acaricide sanitizer tablets produced by wet granulation of spray-dried soap and clove oil-loaded microemulsion.

A novel sanitizer tablet containing clove essential oil (CO) microemulsion was developed. A preformulation study using nuclear magnetic resonance and thermal analyses showed component compatibility. The main components of the samples remained intact despite a color change, probably due to a strong acid-base interaction between eugenol and diethanolamine.

Characterization and Determination of the Antibacterial Activity of Essential-Oil Nanoemulsions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of nanoemulsions of essential oil. The volatile compounds of the essential oil were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The properties of the nanoemulsions (droplet size, polydispersity index, pH, and electrical conductivity) were determined.

Determining Medication Errors in an Adult Intensive Care Unit.

Introduction: Research addressing the costs of Medication errors (MEs) is still scarce despite issues related to patient safety having significant economic and health impacts, making it imperative to analyze the costs and adverse events related to MEs for a better patient, professional, and institutional safety.

Aim: To identify the number of medication errors and verify whether this number was associated with increased hospitalization costs for patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Method: This retrospective cross-sectional cohort study evaluated secondary data from patients' electronic medical records to compile variables, create a model, and survey hospitalization costs.

Bariatric Surgery and Vitamin D: Trends in Older Women and Association with Clinical Features and Gene Polymorphisms.

(1) Background: Obesity and its comorbidities can cause burdens and limitations. Bariatric surgery (BS) is indicated as a safe procedure to reduce body mass and improve present comorbidities. However, several complications were reported, such as vitamin D [25(OH)D] deficiency.

A Serious Game (Immunitates) About Immunization: Development and Validation Study.

Background: Vaccination is a fundamental part of all levels-local to worldwide-of public health, and it can be considered one of humanity's greatest achievements in the control and elimination of infectious diseases. Teaching immunization and vaccination can be monotonous and tiring. It is necessary to develop new approaches for teaching these themes in nursing school.

Clinical simulation as a Nursing Fundamentals teaching method: a quasi-experimental study.

Objectives: to evaluate students' knowledge gain after the implementation of clinical simulation in Nursing Fundamentals disciplines.

Methods: a quasi-experimental intervention was carried out with 60 students, distributed in comparison and intervention groups, who underwent traditional teaching and traditional teaching associated with simulated teaching, respectively. Pre-test and post-test instruments were applied to both groups.

Prevalence and Antimicrobial Resistance of spp. in Aquacultured Nile Tilapia () Commercialized in Federal District, Brazil.

This study aimed to assess spp. prevalence in aquaculture Nile tilapia commercialized in the Federal District, Brazil, and determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of the isolates. Fifty-seven spp.

The impact of NOS3 gene polymorphism on papillary thyroid cancer susceptibility in patients undergoing radioiodine therapy.

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer in the world. Noting that the gene polymorphism interferes with nitric oxide production, this study aims to identify and analyze the gene polymorphism in the intron 4 region in patients with papillary thyroid cancer. A case-control study was conducted with 31 papillary thyroid cancer patients of both genders who underwent thyroidectomy and treatment with sodium iodide radiopharmaceutical (131I) compared with 81 control patients.

Web-Based Virtual Learning Environment for Medicine Administration in Pediatrics and Neonatology: Content Evaluation.

Background: Worldwide, patient safety has been a widely discussed topic and has currently become one of the greatest challenges for health institutions. This concern is heightened when referring to children.

Objective: The goal of this study was to develop a virtual learning environment for medication administration, as a tool to facilitate the training process of undergraduate nursing students.

Culture of human dental pulp cells at variable times post-tooth extraction.

The aim of this study was to investigate the viability of human dental pulp cells from extracted teeth kept at standard room temperature and atmospheric pressure for different periods of time. Twenty-one healthy permanent teeth were used. They were divided into five groups according to the expected time from extraction to processing.
