Saneamiento industrial: Biodisponibilidad de patógenos en superficies

En condiciones adecuadas como humedad, alcalinidad, o temperatura, determinados patógenos logran adherirse a las superficies y sobrevivir ciertos períodos fuera de un anfitrión, persistiendo en algunos casos a procesos deficientes de limpieza y desinfección, configurándose como un posible foco de tr...

Exposure to indoor air pollution/outdoor air pollution: the silent killers – A pilot study

Objective: To identify possible risks factors of exposure to indoor air pollution (IAP)/outdoor air pollution (OAP) and their relationship with noncommunicable diseases in men and women treated by primary care physicians. Method: In total, 551 patients (382 women) attended three basic health units in Uru...

Avaliando a redução do tamanho do conglomerado para estimar o volume de madeira em uma floresta amazônica
Assessing reduction of cluster size to estimate wood volume in an Amazonian forest

Acta amaz; 51 (3), 2021
Enquanto o Inventário Florestal Nacional Brasileiro (IFN) está em andamento, há uma demanda crescente para entender o efeito da área do conglomerado sobre a exatidão e precisão da estimativa de atributos florestais. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a área mínima de um conglomerado para es...

Intrauterine and postnatal exposure to tobacco and wood smoke on hypothalamic development and cognition: an integrative review of the literature

Int. j. morphol; 39 (3), 2021
SUMMARY: Exposure to air pollution and its pollutants has been associated with important effects on human health since the first years of life, thus it has been seen that exposure to tobacco smoke and wood smoke is directly related to cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, respiratory and cancers. Howeve...

Propriedades físico-mecânicas da madeira de freijó, Cordia goeldiana (Boraginacea), produzida em sistema agroflorestal multiestratificado no sudoeste da Amazôni
Physico-mechanical properties of the wood of freijó, Cordia goeldiana (Boraginacea), produced in a multi-stratified agroforestry system in the southwestern Amazon

Acta amaz; 51 (2), 2021
Os sistemas agroflorestais (SAFs) integram, com práticas sustentáveis, culturas agrícolas e florestais para produção de madeira e alimentos, conservando os serviços ambientais e a biodiversidade. O freijó, Cordia goeldiana, tem potencial para cultivo na Amazônia para fins madeireiros, porém da...

Impact of maternal exposure to wood smoke pollution on fetal lung morphology in a rat model

Int. j. morphol; 38 (5), 2020
SUMMARY: Residential heating with wood is an important source of ambient air pollution. Evidence links air pollution to serious health effects such as respiratory and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. We hypothesized that prenatal exposure to wood smoke pollution causes morphological changes in the...

Exposure to wood smoke pollution during pre-gestational period of rat has effects on placenta volume and fetus size

Int. j. morphol; 38 (5), 2020
SUMMARY: Studies in humans showed that prenatal exposure to urban air pollution (AP) influences fetal development, and increases the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes and some diseases in postnatal life. However, most of these were performed in environments where the main source of environmental pa...

Remoção de um corpo estranho incomum decorrente de trauma orbital: relato de caso

Introdução: Trauma contuso e penetrante na região orbital pode ter um efeito devastador, tanto funcional quanto estético para a órbita e estruturas adjacentes. Uma inspeção meticulosa das pálpebras e do globo deve ser realizada e, se houver suspeita de retenção de um corpo estranho dentro dos t...

Brazilian cerrado species: wood characteristics

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (4), 2020
The characterization of wood anatomy and proprieties can provide subsidies for rational use of tree species. Enables, oftentimes, the definition of technological potential of wood - and wood products - through the assessment of quality information and also allows it ́s correct identification, contribu...

Sixteen properties of Eucalyptus Tereticornis wood for structural uses

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (2), 2020
Forest Red Gum eucalypt provides a versatile wood and is converted into different purposes. However, such wood is somewhat limited in structural ends, which highlights the need to exploit this gap through diffusion of mechanical properties of suchtimber. This study aimed to evalua...
