Ao proporcionar o relaxamento do corpo e da mente, a prática regular de Meditação Transcendental (MT) pode reduzir o uso de fármacos. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a redução do uso de medicação em praticantes regulares de Meditação Transcendental Sidhi, na cidade de Maringá, noroeste do Paraná. No final de 2021, um questionário estruturado foi respondido por 46 meditantes Shida de um projeto de extensão universitária desenvolvido na Universidade Estadual de Maringá, campus sede. Observou-se que ao aprender a meditar, 23,9% dos entrevistados deixaram de utilizar fármacos, principalmente psicotrópicos; 21,7% diminuíram a dosagem de analgésicos e/ou anti-inflamatórios e 6,5% incitaram o tratamento farmacológico de doenças crônicas de base. Do total dos respondentes, 60,9% relataram terem se automedicado durante as suas vidas, e 17,4% das possíveis combinações farmacológicas apresentavam a possibilidade de interação medicamentosa, principalmente entre os psicotrópicos e/ou analgésicos com eles mesmos ou com outros fármacos. Fatores psíquicos, fisiológicos, sociais e ambientais podem influenciar o desenvolvimento e tratamento das patologias. Conclui-se que ao reduzir o uso de fármacos e possíveis interações medicamentosas, a MT é uma possível alternativa para complementar o tratamento de doenças relacionadas principalmente ao sistema nervoso central e evitar o uso indiscriminado de fármacos de venda livre.

- Abstract
Introdução: Apesar do aumento na procura pela água mineral (AM) no Brasil, nem sempre ela apresenta a qualidade adequada para o consumo humano, visto que pode estar contaminada por patógenos. Objetivos: Realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o perfil das bactérias patogénicas (BP) nas AM comercializadas no Brasil. Métodos: Foram selecionados artigos originais publicados entre 2010 e 2019, no SciELO, PUBMED e/ou LILACS, utilizando os seguintes descritores em Ciências da Saúde: “água mineral”, “bactérias”, “patógenos”, “controle microbiológico” e “Brasil”, e logística borealiana “E” e “OU”. Resultados: Treze artigos descreviam a contaminação por BP em pelo menos uma das amostras analisadas, e das 381 amostras avaliadas, 51,5% apresentavam estes microrganismos. Além disso, em alguns casos, ocorria a sobreposição de bactérias, sendo que os patógenos mais descritos foram os coliformes totais (13/13 artigos) e fecais (12/13 artigos). Entretanto, em percentual, as mais prevalentes foram os coliformes totais (30,2% das amostras) e Pseudomonas aeruginosa (22,8% das amostras). Discussão: A alta taxa de bactérias patogênicas nas amostras de AM descritas pela literatura representa um risco à saúde do consumidor, pois, é um gatilho para a ocorrência de inúmeras patologias. Conclusão: Há a necessidade de se reavaliar as legislações vigentes e maior fiscalização dos produtos e comerciantes de água mineral no Brasil, visto que, embora exista uma legislação estabelecendo os limites máximos aceitáveis microrganismos, a literatura relata que há uma elevada taxa de contaminação por bactérias patogênicas. Portanto, impróprio para a venda e o consumo humano.

Devido à preocupação com a qualidade da água distribuída pelas redes públicas de saneamento, muitos brasileiros têm recorrido àquela denominada mineral, mas nem sempre ela é mais saudável. Diante do exposto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão integrativa de literatura sobre caracterização, consumo e qualidade microbiológica da água mineral comercializada no Brasil, por meio da busca de legislações e normas governamentais brasileiras, bem como artigos publicados nos principais sites científicos. Observou-se que de forma geral, água mineral é aquela extraída do subsolo e que tenha uma composição definida, e que para que ela seja considerada potável, deve estar isenta de patógenos e toxinas. Para se avaliar se há ou não os microrganismos patogênicos nestas amostras podem ser utilizados a técnica dos tubos múltiplos, teste C, contagem de bactérias heterotróficas e método do substrato cromogênico. Neste contexto observou-se que a maioria dos artigos analisados descrevia a presença de pelo menos um microrganismo contaminante. Quase todos os autores realizam apenas uma avaliação dos produtos e apesar do estado de São Paulo ser o maior produtor e consumidor de água mineral no Brasil, não foram encontrados artigos originais sobre o assunto, publicados entre os anos de 2014 e 2018.

Our goal was to analyze the outcome of infection and response to benznidazole (BZ) treatment in mice intragastrically inoculated with trypomastigotes forms of Trypanosoma cruzi from different origins. Twenty-four Swiss mice were divided in two groups and inoculated, by gavage, with 1 × 104 blood trypomastigotes (BT) or insect-derived metacyclic trypomastigotes (IT) of AM14 strain (T. cruzi IV). Half of the animals of each group were treated with BZ (TBZ), from 10 to 30th days after the inoculation, and the other constituted the untreated control groups (NT). After the etiological treatment, all mice were immunosuppressed with cyclophosphamide for three weeks. Parasitological and molecular parameters, infectivity, cumulative mortality, and reactivation post-immunosuppression rates were obtained. Animals inoculated with BT showed lower pre-patent period and early day of the maximum parasitemia, as well as a higher maximum peak of parasitemia than the IT animals. However, both, BT and IT animals, did not respond to BZ treatment (0.0% of cure). We conclude that the infective form influences in the outcome of infection, but not the response to the etiological treatment in mice intragastrically infected with the T. cruzi IV strain studied.

Chagas disease (CD), caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a serious public health problem. One of the causes of the high morbidity and mortality in patients is the lack of an effective drug therapy. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the essential oil of Syzygium aromaticum alone and in combination with benznidazole (BZ) in mice orally inoculated with strain of T. cruzi IV obtained from oral CD outbreak occurred in Western Brazilian Amazonia. All the animals inoculated with metacyclic trypomastigote forms (AM14 strain, BZ resistant), derived from the insect Rhodnius robustus, became infected and there was no difference in the mortality rate between the experimental groups. When compared with untreated control animals (UTC), the treatment with essential oil of S. aromaticum (EOSA) alone promoted reduction in 1/5 parameters derived from the parasitemia curve, whereas the treatments with BZ alone or in combination (BZ + EOSA) promoted reduction in 4/5 of those parameters, presenting similar profiles of parasitemia curve. The animals treated with BZ and with the combination BZ + EOSA presented lower patency periods in comparison with the animals in EOSA group, and lower positivity of blood cultures when compared with the UTC group. The results of molecular analysis by qPCR in both blood and cardiac tissue did not show differences between the groups. The cure rates obtained with the different treatments presented the following ascending order: EOSA = 12.5% (1/8), BZ = 25.0% (2/8) and BZ + EOSA = 37.5% (3/8). Although there are no significant differences between them, these results claims that the use of this essential oil could be of interest for treatment of Chagas disease.

Vector competence of triatomines (kissing bugs) for Trypanosoma cruzi transmission depends on the parasite-vector interaction and the genetic constitution of both. This study evaluates the susceptibility and vector competence of Rhodnius robustus experimentally infected with T. cruzi IV (TcIV). Nymphs were fed on infected mice or an artificial feeder with blood containing culture-derived metacyclic trypomastigotes (CMT) or blood trypomastigotes (BT). The intestinal contents (IC) and excreta of the insects were examined by fresh examination and kDNA-PCR. The rate of metacyclogenesis was also determined by differential counts. Fifth instar nymphs fed with CMT ingested a greater blood volume (mean of 74.5 μL) and a greater amount of parasites (mean of 149,000 CMT/μL), and had higher positivity in the fresh examination of the IC. Third instar nymphs fed with CMT had higher positivity (33.3%) in the fresh examination of the excreta. On the 20th day after infection (dai), infective metacyclic trypomastigote (MT) forms were predominant in the excreta of 3/4 experimental groups, and on the 30th dai, the different parasitic forms were observed in the IC of all the groups. Higher percentages of MT were observed in the excreta of the 5th instar nymphs group (84.1%) and in the IC of the 3rd instar nymphs group (80.0%). Rhodnius robustus presented high susceptibility to infection since all nymphs were infected, regardless of the method used for blood meal, in addition these insects demonstrated vector competence for TcIV with high rates of metacyclogenesis being evident.

American trypanosomiasis is an emerging zoonosis in the Brazilian Amazon. Studies on benznidazole (BZ) chemotherapy with Trypanosoma cruzi from this region have great relevance, given the different discrete typing units (DTUs) that infect humans in the Amazon and other regions of Brazil. We performed a parasitological, histopathological, and molecular analysis of mice inoculated with strains of T. cruzi I, II, and IV that were BZ-treated during the acute phase of infection. Groups of Swiss mice were inoculated; 13 received oral BZ, whereas the other 13 comprised the untreated controls. Unlike parasitemia, the infectivity and mortality did not vary among the DTUs. Trypanosoma cruzi DNA was detected in all tissues analyzed and the proportion of organs parasitized varied with the parasite DTU. The BZ treatment reduced the most parasitological parameters, tissue parasitism and the inflammatory processes at all infection stages and for all DTUs. However, the number of significant reductions varied according to the DTU and infection phase.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of orally administered Cymbopogon citratus , Zingiber officinale and Syzygium aromaticum essential oils (EOs) in mice infected with Trypanosoma cruzi . Methods: Three experiments were conducted with 48 Swiss mice each. The animals were inoculated with 2 x 10 6 metacyclic trypomastigotes of T. Cruzi Y-strain and allocated into the following groups ( N = 12): 1) untreated control; 2) treated with benznidazole (BZ); 3) treated with EO 100 mg/kg; and 4) treated with EO 250 mg/kg. The groups were evaluated by fresh blood test, blood culture, conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time PCR and cure rate (CR). Results: All the animals were completely infected with T. cruzi . Treatment with C. citratus and Z. officinale EOs altered some of the parameters derived from the parasitemia curve, but CRs did not differ from BZ. Treatment with S. Aromaticum EO, on the other hand, not only altered all the parameters derived from the parasitemia curve, similar to BZ, but at the dose of 100 mg/kg, CR was also significantly higher than BZ. Conclusion: The results indicate that the essential oils tested, especially S . aromaticum , exhibited anti- Trypanosoma cruzi effect and therefore should be investigated for the treatment of Chagas disease. Keywords: Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi , Cymbopogon citratus , Zingiber officinale , Syzygium aromaticum , Essential oils, Chemotherapy
