With the increase of the vehicle fleet in the country, the demand for fuel grows, thus increasing the number of gas stations in the national territory. However, from the unbridled growth, coupled with the lack of maintenance and wear and tear of the storage and pipelines of the stations can cause very serious problems for the environment and humans. This work aimed to determine and quantify BTEX compounds in soil and groundwater collected from a gas station area at various depths to map contamination surfaces.

Propranolol Hydrochloride inhibits the stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-1 and beta-2) present in the body such as the heart and blood vessels. It was the first successful beta-blocker developed, it is one of the most used drugs mainly in the treatment of hypertension, it is also indicated for the treatment and prevention of myocardial infarction, angina, cardiac arrhythmias, as well as migraine. However, this article aims to verify the Propranolol Hydrochloride content in Generic, Similar and Manipulated drug, by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry.

Introduction: Cancer stem cells (CSC) correspond to a small population of cells tumor with the ability to remain hidden. This contributes strongly to the resistance to antitumor therapies, the occurrence of relapse and metastasis. Objective: Inter relate the gene interactions networks of tumor dormancy (TD) and CSC. Methods: Genetic interaction networks of CSC and DT were identified in the Gene Cards® database. The maps of genomic interactions were performed using the software STRING 10.0.
