O laser de baixa potência é uma terapia não invasiva, onde é realizado emissão de luz infravermelha ou vermelha. Em vista disso, este estudo objetiva descrever a evolução da lesão por pressão, através da utilização do laser de baixa potência associado com a utilização da pomada de ácido hialurônico 0,2%. Materiais e métodos ocorreram através da abordagem descritiva, do tipo relato de caso.

Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, and EBSCO were searched for systematic reviews from 2000-2020 which used resisted sprinting, either pushing or pulling and their effect on horizontal strength for include in this literature review.
Adiponectin (APN) is the most abundant polypeptide produced by adipose tissue in humans. It has an important anti-atherogenic role, suppresses the expression of proinflammatory substances and increases the production of nitric oxide, protecting against most diseases related to the inflammatory process, such as atherosclerosis. On the other hand, observational studies indicate that the use of low-dose combined oral contraceptives (COC) is associated with increased subclinical inflammation.
The state of Tocantins develops a long annual period of low rainfall, with greater dominance of the mass of hot and dry air in the months of June, July and August, associated with the increase in forest fires, which becomes a common element in the landscape. The incidence of fires in the Brazilian territory presents a period of greater intensification in this season, especially in the states where the formation predominant plant is that of the Cerrado (savanna) biome in its territorial limits, as is the case of Tocantins.
