Avaliação parasitológica de excretas de pombos refugiados em edificações da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of parasites in feces of pigeons housed in buildings of Campus do Vale of Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). The campus has 99 buildings and 85 of them were inspected. Fecal samples were collected from 17 (20%) of them and the parasitological diagnosis was based on Willis-Mollay (WM), Lutz and modified Ziehl-Neelsen (ZNm) methods. By WM and Lutz were diagnosed eggs of ascarids in the collected feces: 1. Department of Ecology; 2. Department of Philosophy and Human Sciences. Nematode larvae were recovered from feces present in six buildings: 1. Computing Institute; 2. Research Laboratory of the Biotechnology Center; 3. Mining Department of Engineering School; 4. Library of the Institute of Physics; 5. Chemistry Institute – Classroom Amphitheater; 6. Computing Laboratory. By ZNm, the samples were negative for Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts. The fecal samples from pigeons housed at the university buildings presented parasitic structures with zoonotic potential. Knowing this diversity is of fundamental importance for a better management, preserving the health of people who transit through Campus do Vale UFRS.

Implantação de um Centro de Informações sobre Medicamentos (CIM) em uma farmácia universitária vinculada ao sistema público de saúde: Uma estratégia para promoção da saúde na comunidade

“…A disseminação dessas informações pode ser realizada por meio de mídias digitais (como a internet, rádio e televisão) ou escrita (boletins sobre medicamentos e materiais educativos). Essas iniciativas podem ser executadas por organizações governamentais, Institucionais (como Universidades e hospitais de ensino universitários) ou ainda por serviços farmacêuticos de assistência farmacêutica, voltados à educação em saúde e cuidado farmacêutico, desde que sempre sob a supervisão de um profissional de saúde habilitado (Sousa, 2013;CFF, 2016b).…”

Green compounds of SBR with nanofibrilated cellulose and palm oil in replacement to traditionally compounds used

“…The most commonly used plasticizers are petrochemical oils such as paraffinic, aromatic, or naphthenic oils, being selected according to their compatibility with the elastomer, staining or not, and resistance to aging. 5 Nonetheless, the composition of these oils has high content of environmentally toxic and highly harmful to human health, the polycyclic aromatics (PCA). European countries, starting with Directive n°.67/548/EEC, defined by the reduction of the content of (PCA) in compounds, to minimize the damages caused by its excessive use.…”
