Report the case of a patient with a diagnosis and treatment for discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), nevertheless it was leprosy. ; A hanseníase ainda constitui relevante problema de saúde pública brasileira, apesar da red...

OILCA : enhancing the competitiveness and reducing the carbon footprint of the ...

OiLCA is an international project by the INTERREG IVB SUDOE communitarian initiative. It aims to improve the competitiveness of the olive sector in the south-western Europe region, which includes Spain, Portugal and the South of France. The OiLCA methodology is based on life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) to identify opportunities for the optimization of olive oil production. Olive oil product...

Value - exchange and technological transfer on the recovery of wastes from vege...

One of the problems associated with the vegetable processing industry on SUDOE space (South-western Europe region, which includes Spain, Portugal and the South of France), relates the management and recovery of waste and currently for many, still an unsolved problem.

The benefits of using selenium in the treatment of Chagas disease: prevention o...

Cardiac damage is a frequent manifestation of Chagas disease, which is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient, the deficiency of which has been implicated in the development of cardiomyopathy. Our group has previously demonstrated that Se supplementation prevents myocardial damage during acute T. cruzi infection in mice. In this study, we analyzed the effect of Se ...

Absence of Fas-L aggravates renal injury in acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection

Trypanosoma cruzi infection induces diverse alterations in immunocompetent cells and organs, myocarditis and congestive heart failure. However, the physiological network of disturbances imposed by the infection has not been addressed thoroughly. Regarding myocarditis induced by the infection, we observed in our previous work that Fas-L-/- mice (gld/gld) have very mild inflammatory infiltration when compared to ...

Gap junction reduction in cardiomyocytes following transforming growth factor-&...

Gap junction connexin-43 (Cx43) molecules are responsible for electrical impulse conduction in the heart and are affected by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). This cytokine increases during Trypanosoma cruzi infection, modulating fibrosis and the parasite cell cycle. We studied Cx43 expression in cardiomyocytes exposed or not to TGF-β T. cruzi, or SB-431542, an inhibitor of TGF-β recepto...
