“…Os projetos podem e devem ser feitos de forma individual, dependendo das características das águas e dos parâmetros necessários a serem atingidos. Além disso deve-se observar questões como área disponível e topografia do ambiente (Turcios et al, 2021).…”

“…Wetlands construídos de fluxo superficial livre (WCFS) com o fluxo ocorrendo no fundo do WC, assim as águas formam uma superfície livre. Neste caso prevalecem as condições anaeróbicas, assim tem eficácia limitada para remoção de poluentes, mas pode ser eficaz para remoção de sólidos em suspensão (Turcios et al, 2021).…”

“…Estes precisam de enchimento com substrato poroso, normalmente cascalho e areia, assim podem manter um fluxo, mas para isso precisam ter um tempo de retenção hidráulica (TRH) maior, pois o volume adicionado diminui o TRH e a taxa de carga hidráulica (TCH). Portanto, precisam de uma área maior para serem aplicados (Turcios et al, 2021).…”

This work aims to present a sustainable and promising technology for the environment, in view of the quality of water and rivers contaminated with drugs and lack of sewage treatment. We highlight the Constructed Wetlands technique built so that, in an ecologically correct and low cost, contamination in waters is reduced. The research carried out consists of an integrative review with a basic purpose and a quali-quantitative approach and the Science Direct database was use. The selection of works include review and research articles published between 2010 and 2021. Works that did not deal with phytoremediation through constructed swamps and research with synthetic effluents were excluded, with only those dealing with surface water and effluents from sewage treatment and water treatment plants. Thus, this review was carried out on a basis of 25 articles. For the application of WC, basins, ponds or shallow lakes are built and substrate and vegetation are applied to them. Projects can and should be done individually, depending on the characteristics of the water and the parameters needed to be achieved. In addition, issues such as available area and topography of the environment should be observed. For this study, observing the analysis of a several parameters and configurations, it was demonstrated that WCs is greater efficiency than conventional water treatments. Thus, a system that combines conventional treatments with WC will have greater efficiency in water treatment, being a promising alternative in relation to improvement at low cost, benefiting Public Health.

“…The benefits of medicinal plants on wound healing can be attributed to a variety of mechanisms, including modification of wound healing, reduction of the bacterial count, enhancement of collagen deposition, growth of fibroblasts and fibrocytes, and so on 10 . Millions of people in Asia, Africa, and Latin America rely heavily on traditional treatments created from local plants, animals, and natural materials for wound care; for others, they are their only option 11 . Since ancient times, people have found cures in nature, and today, 80% of the world's undeveloped and developing nations still rely heavily on plant‐based healthcare systems for their main healthcare 12 .…”

BackgroundThroughout the classical era, medicinal plants have already been employed as a resource for medicine and in the healing of wounds. Chronic wounds are linked to significant healthcare and socioeconomic consequences despite standard medication. The development of effective wound‐healing therapies with improved wound repair mechanisms may result from the emergence of innovative wound‐healing techniques utilizing medicinal plants in combination with nanotechnology. This review combines herbal formulations like biodegradable nanoparticles, films, fibres, hydrogels, and ointments with antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory characteristics with herbal medicines to promote wound healing.ObjectiveThis article aims to provide an overview of the numerous cellular and molecular elements involved in skin healing.FindingsThis article overviews the numerous cellular and molecular elements involved in skin healing. Following the commencement of a tissue lesion, a series of molecular and cellular actions take place to restore the injured tissue. This process is known as regeneration and tissue repair. Sequential events involving the integration of dynamic processes involving soluble mediators, blood cells, and parenchymal cells result in the exudative, proliferative, and extracellular matrix remodelling stages.ConclusionThe development of tissue edema is aided by exudative processes after damage. By recruiting myofibroblasts and fibroplasia, the proliferative stage aims to decrease the area of tissue damage. The mechanisms of angiogenesis and re‐epithelialization are still observed at this point.

Worldwide climate change, rising population, and industrialization have raised the global demand for freshwater. Desalinating brackish water has become a sustainable technology for drinking and agriculture to overcome global water scarcity. Thriving biodesalination technology has become more attractive and eco‐friendly than the present physicochemical desalination methods, which are expensive and energy‐intensive. Researchers are exploring the bioutilization of nature's potential for desalination using halophiles like haloarchaea, halobacteria, halophytic algae, and plants. Biomimetic desalination membranes have been developed, inspired by the desalination mechanism in animals. This comprehensive review explores recent advancements and potential applications of halophiles in biodesalination to exploit them effectively. It provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with harnessing halophiles for the removal of salts from brackish and seawater sources. This review also focuses on insights into biomolecules produced by the halophilic microorganisms and halophytes in the desalination process. Understanding the mechanism of action of these biomolecules will edify the effective unexplored research areas in biomimicry and bioutilization to overcome the existing limitations in water treatment.
