Pseudothrombocytopenia is a worrying clinical phenomenon that can result in an error of diagnosis and inadequate therapeutic conduct, if the necessary knowledge to differentiate this condition from the real condition does not act. It is not known for certain what causes this condition. The mean platelet volume (MPV) and the normal bleeding time indicate that the platelet decrease is induced during the in vitro process.

O câncer de cólon envolve todo o trato gastrointestinal começando no intestino grosso, reto e ânus e é o terceiro tipo de câncer mais comum em homens e o segundo em mulheres, os fatores alimentares e estilo de vida podem contribuir no aumento de casos deste tipo de câncer.

Strontium Zirconate (ZrSrO3) and hydroxide (Sr(OH2)) were synthesized, characterized and investigated as catalyst for preparing biodiesel. Both matrices were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, TG and BET. Vegetable oil and methanol were used to prepare biodiesel and reaction conditions optimized by experimental design. Analysis showed that ZrSrO3 matrix sample, synthesized by citrate route, is composed by ZrSrO3, Zr0.93O2, SrCO3, Sr(OH)2, and Sr(OH)2.H2O phases. ZrSrO3 used as catalyst produced high ester content biodiesel, 98.0%.

A precária situação carcerária brasileira e sua permanência no que se convencionou chamar, no Brasil, de “estado de coisas inconstitucional”, culminou no reconhecimento pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, por meio da Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental n. 347, de 2015 da inconstitucionalidade do sistema prisional brasileiro. O objetivo do presente foi buscar compreender os limites e possibilidades de aplicação da Teoria da Cegueira Deliberada como causa do Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional no sistema prisional no Brasil e no Estado de Rondônia.

Non-cultivated plants that produce nectar and pollen, are already seen as important sources of food for bees, supporting the development of beekeeping and meliponiculture. Stingless indigenous bees are fundamental to ecosystems, considering their efficiency as pollinators. The objective was to identify the main botanical species of non-cultivated plants explored during the foraging of meliponines, during the four climatic seasons of the year, and the capacity of the Jataí bee (Tetragoniscaangustula), as pollinator of these plants.

The diabetic foot represents a clinical problem with repercussions on the quality of life but also an economic one. Self-care of the feet can prevent ulcers and consequently amputations in diabetic people. Aim: To evaluate the effects of health education actions in the foot care of people with diabetes. Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. The descriptors used were “Nursing,” “Self-care,” “Disease Prevention,” and “Diabetic Foot,” associated with the Boolean operators AND and OR. The final data collection resulted in ten articles.

The cagaita (Eugenia dysenteric DC) is a native fruit from Cerrado with a globose shape, light yellow color, and slightly acidic taste. Besides having functional properties, making it is widely used in chronic constipation treatments. It is a fruit with a unique flavor and can be used in agro-industries in ice cream, jams, jellies, juices, and the like. This work's objective was to present the technology used in extracting of fruit pulp from Eugenia desynterica DC since harvest time until the storage process and its physicochemical characterization.
