O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir como os efeitos do canabidiol podem contribuir para o processo psicoterapêutico da criança com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). Para tanto, foram realizadas pesquisas em bancos de dados e indexadores, sobre o tema em questão, selecionando os artigos referentes à área da Psicologia, TEA e Canabidiol. Entende-se como Transtorno do Espectro Autista um transtorno do neurodesenvolvimento, comprometendo a comunicação verbal, interação social e desenvolvendo comportamentos estereotipados. Como forma de tratamento tem sido indicado uma das várias substâncias da Cannabis sativa que possui potencial terapêutico, o canabidiol (CBD) que tem como benefícios a diminuição da agressividade, insônia, hiperatividade, entre outros sintomas. Desse modo, o uso do óleo da Cannabis sativa (CBD) exerce uma função fitoterápica, que atua na diminuição dos sintomas e auxilia num melhor aproveitamento do processo psicoterápico. Portanto, a criança com TEA que faz uso do CBD melhora sua percepção, atenção, interação social, bem como, a diminuição de quadros ansiosos, o que contribui para uma melhor adesão psicoterapêutica.
Clinical Infectious Diseases encompass a wide range o antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Take Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for example. These gram-negative bacilli (GNB) frequently cause Urinary Tract Infection. There is a great number of organic synthesized drugs that have been used as a treatment for infections. The Eucalyptus genus is an effective combatant against airway disorders, stomach aches, diabetes, cystitis, and diarrhea. The chemical composition evaluation and the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities are paramount in determining the bioactivity of each essential oil. This project aims at evaluating the antimicrobial activity of essential Eucalyptus urograndis oil in standard strains of gram-negative bacilli. The Clevenger method was used to extract the oil. To perform the in vitro Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test we've adapted and used a microdilution method in accord with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (M27-A3). The results from the oil analysis show a dominance of citronellol, an active antimicrobial compound. There were two standard strains tested: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was performed on 96-well plates, and aliquots were seeded on Mueller-Hinton agar to confirm growth. The MIC was sensitive for both bacteria, and the values obtained for P. aeruginosa were more relevant. Using E.urograndis essential oil proved to be effective as an antimicrobial agent and could be taken into consideration for the development of new antibacterial.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
