Prenatal ethanol exposure increases ethanol intake and reduces C-fos expression in infralimbic cortex of adolescent rats
(Elsevier Inc, 2012-12)
Prenatal ethanol exposure significantly increases later predisposition for alcohol intake, but the mechanisms associated with this phenomenon remain hypothetical. This study analyzed (Experiment 1) ethanol intake in ...
Emissions from Electronic Cigarettes: Assessing Vapers’ Intake of Toxic Compounds, Secondhand Exposures, and the Associated Health Impacts
(American Chemical Society, 2017-08)
E-cigarettes likely represent a lower risk to health than traditional combustion cigarettes, but they are not innocuous. Recently reported emission rates of potentially harmful compounds were used to assess intake and ...
Evaluation of EDXRF configurations to improve the limit of detection and exposure for in vivo quantification of gadolinium in tumor tissue
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-05)
In this paper the configuration of an Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) system optimized for in vivo quantification of gadolinium in tumor tissue was studied. The system was configured using XMI-MSIM software ...
Multiple Level Effects of Imazethapyr on Leptodactylus latinasus (Anura) Adult Frogs
(Springer, 2021-08-18)
Imazethapyr is an herbicide that is used in a variety of crops worldwide, including soybean and corn. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biomarkers responses of adult Leptodactylus latinasus exposed to the ...

Photodynamic therapy in 2D and 3D human cervical carcinoma cell cultures employing LED light sources emitting at different wavelengths
(IOP Publishing, 2019-11)
Light of different wavelengths can be used to obtain a more profitable outcome of photodynamic therapy (PDT), according to the absorption bands of the photosensitizer (PS). Low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasias ...
COVID-19 mitigation by digital contact tracing and contact prevention (app-based social exposure warnings)
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-07-13)
A plethora of measures are being combined in the attempt to reduce SARS-CoV-2 spread. Due to its sustainability, contact tracing is one of the most frequently applied interventions worldwide, albeit with mixed results. We ...
Are semi-terrestrial crabs threatened by human noise? Assessment of behavioural and biochemical responses of Neohelice granulata (Brachyura, Varunidae) in tank
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-12)
This study examined the effects of human lab-generated noise (sweep tone) on the behaviour and biochemistry of a semi-terrestrial crab (Neohelice granulata). The experiment was carried out in tanks equipped with video- and ...
Solar UV radiation in a changing world: roles of cryosphere-land-water-atmosphere interfaces in global biogeochemical cycles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-01)
Global change influences biogeochemical cycles within and between environmental compartments (i.e., the cryosphere, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and the atmosphere). A major effect of global change on carbon cycling ...
Disruptive effects of chlorpyrifos on predator-prey interactions of Ceratophrys ornata tadpoles: Consequences at the population level using computational modeling
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
Large-scale ecotoxicological studies have technical and ethical limitations, both related to the need to expose large numbers of individuals to potentially harmful compounds. The computational modeling is a complementary ...
