These natural products were obtained from medicinal plants popularly used empirically by backland communities in Sergipe, Brazil. The aqueous crude extracts of Ziziphus joazeiro Mart., Caesalpinia pyramidalis Tul., Bumelia sartorum Mart. and Hymenaea courbaril L. were analyzed. From the Ziziphus joazeiro Mart., we tested the extract prepared from the infusion of the inner bark and the decoction of the leaf. From the Caesalpinia pyramidalis Tul., the extract used was prepared from the infusion of the leaves. From Bumelia sartorum Mart., the extract used was prepared from the decoction of the bark, and from the Hymenaea courbaril L. we prepared the extract from the maceration of the inner bark. All these natural products were subjected to the following treatments: exposure to ultraviolet light or not and autoclaving (121°C for 10minutes). Amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, miconazole and ketoconazole were tested. All aqueous crude extracts showed antifungal activity against all clinical strains of Cryptococcus neoformans. The treatment that underwent autoclaving and exposure to ultraviolet light showed better results for antifungal action. The treatment with autoclaving of the aqueous crude extract statistically prevailed with the best results. There is the need to perform some treatments using these natural products based on the tested medicinal plants for better antifungal activity against this pathogenic yeast so they become more effective. In the antifungal susceptibility test performed, it was demonstrated that the yeast had worrying resistance to fluconazole and itraconazole by the disc diffusion method. FOr further knowledge on this resistance profile, there is the need of tests with greater accuracy, such as the microdilution test. To do so, susceptibility testing must be standardized when there is the use of natural products derived from medicinal plants, in addition to the provision of alternative uses by patients affected by this yeast, providing scientific data demonstrating the use and action of the natural products and medicinal plants of wide use in Sergipe, Brazil. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/24646 Título: Ocorrência de sintomas depressivos em médicos que trabalham no programa de saúde da família Autor(es): Aragão, José Aderval; Andrade, Marcel Lima; Mota, Maria Izabel Aragão; Aragão, Marina Elizabeth Cavalcanti de Sant’Anna; Reis, Francisco Prado Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of depression among physicians working in the Family Health Units (FHU) in Aracaju. Methods: In a sample of 83 physicians it was used the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for screening of depressive symptoms and a questionnaire developed by the researchers to collect sociodemographic information. Descriptive statistics and analysis through the chi-square and logistic regression were performed. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms in the sample was 27.7% (95% CI 19.3 to 37.3). It was observed that the variables that were associated with the onset of symptoms (p < 0.05) were: relationship problems, satisfaction with the job and the number of queries in relation to the work hour. After adjustment multiple logistic regression it was observed that those who had relationship problems and the ones who were not satisfied with the job had respectively, a risk of 5.63 and 4.59 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms compared with those who did not. Conclusions: The prevalence of depressive symptoms in doctors working in Aracaju’s FHU is high and is probably associated with work and relationship problems. 2014-12-01T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/24644 Título: Rat visceral yolk sac cells: viability and expression of cell markers during maternal diabetes Autor(es): Aires, Marlúcia Bastos; Santos, José Ronaldo Alves dos; Souza, Karine dos Santos; Farias, Priscilla Silva; Santos, Anne Carolline Veríssimo dos; Fioretto, Emerson Ticona; Maria, Durvanei Augusto 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
