Therefore, this work presents an inventory of the avifauna occurring in degraded areas located in the northwest of Rio de Janeiro state. The survey took place for twelve months was performed in two previously defined areas of a rural space belonging to the municipality of Natividade, RJ, totaling 154 hours of observations in each area and in a list of 76 species, with the greatest richness belonging to the families Tyrannidae and Thraupidae. Has prevailed the dietary habits insectivorous, frugivorous and omnivorous.

Neste contexto, as crianças constituem o grupo mais atingido, devido a alguns fatores como: imunidade, higiene pessoal e outros. Sendo assim, o presente estudo objetivou a investigação dos índices parasitários nos alunos da Escola Municipal Antonio Ferreira da Fonseca, localidade rural do município de Italva-RJ. O estudo foi realizado através dos resultados de exames parasitológicos realizados no Laboratório da Faculdade Redentor em Itaperuna-RJ. Foram utilizados os métodos de Hoffman e de Willis. Foram examinadas 38 amostras, e destas verificou-se uma prevalência de 71,05% de positividade, sendo a Entamoeba histolytica o protozoário mais frequente (42,1%), seguido pela Giardia lamblia (21,05%) e Entamoeba coli (5,26%). Concluiu-se que o índice parasitário nos escolares é elevado, e que a prevalência de infecção foi pelo protozoário Entamoeba histolytica.

Often the lakes are populated by exotic species of fish, which in turn bring with them parasites that can cause disturbances to natural species. So the aim of this study was to verify the parasitic fauna of the gills of Oreocrhomis niloticus in an urban lake in the city of Itaperuna - RJ. For that was performed at two collections (February and May), totaling 18 specimens of O. niloticus. In February, only Cichlidogyrus tilapiae was parasitizing the gills of O. niloticus showing 100% prevalence. In the collection held in May found the monogenean Cichlidogyrus sclerosus (88.88%) and Cichlidogyrus tilapiae (44.44%). It is suggested that, because it is a relatively shallow lake, O. niloticus has population density which favors the increased occurrence of parasites in the same way as it is found in fish farms

For this purpose, was used the prevalence and intensity (minimum, maximum and average) for each parasite found in the hosts analyzed. Altogether 36 shwere collected from both species, of which 41,66% copies of H. temminkii showed clinical signs and 22,21% were healthy, and the species C. Au- ratus, 19,44% subjects had clinical signs and 16,66% healthy. All sh examined were parasitized by oner or more species of parasites the highest prevalence for Epistylis sp was present in the seed coat, whereas the specimens of both species. As for the obligatory parasites monogenes had higher prevalence while the crustacean Argulus sp. showed the lowest prevalence.

investigate the parasitic index in students of municipal Mr Salim Simon School at St. Anthony
of Padua - RJ. Of the 54 samples analyzed, there was a prevalence of 61.1% positivity, and
the Giardia lamblia protozoan most frequent (78.8%). Thus, it is necessary to improve control
programs in parent education on the subject, as well as sanitation, providing an improved
quality of life

of their hosts, leading to reduction of natural fish stocks and fishfarming. Therefore, this study
aimed to verify the parasitic fauna of the integument of Cyphocharax gilbert species obtained
by the capture practices used by fishermen in two streams of the middle portion of the subbasin
of the river Muriaé. In all, were captured 45 hosts in the two streams, 29 individuals in
the Limoeiro stream and 16 individuals in the Paixão stream. The hosts were found different
types of parasites belonging to the phylum Protozoa (3 genera, 3 species), Monogenoedea
class (larva), Crustacea class (2 genera, 2 species). Were identified for the Limoeiro stream
Mixobolus sp, Epystilis sp, larva Monogenea, Trichodina sp., Riggia paranensis, and Lernea
sp. In the Paixão stream were identified Monogenea larva and Trichodina sp. The variation of
diversity of parasites between environments may be related to the natural differences
between the local and sites studied the existence of two populations of different hosts, one
for each stream.

Thus, the water becomes a vector of transmission of diseases, caused mostly by enteric pathogens origin. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the microbiological quality of water from two springs in the rural municipality of Varre-Sai, RJ. Samples were collected for seven months, and analyzed by the Multiple Tube Method for detection of total and thermotolerant coliforms. Contamination was found in four samples of point 01, maximum 1600 NMP/100mL, while the point 02 showed contamination in only two samples with a maximum of 23 NMP/100mL. The presence of protective structures in point 02 and their absence in point 01 may have contributed to these differences. The construction of structures protect of the springs associated with the preservation of natural vegetation can positively influence water quality.

The study was submitted and approved by the research ethics committee of the College Redentor in Itaperuna and Authorized by the State Department of Corrections (SEAP) in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Participated in the survey 10% of sentenced inmates where signed a consent form, completed a questionnaire socioeconomic and epidemiological then the biological material was collected for sputum smear microscopy.
The results indicated that 69% of inmates analyzed not completed primary school, 30% originates from slum communities, 55% have a monthly income of up to two minimum wages, 79% used tobacco, 64% reported that they had cough for more than 3 weeks, 65% reported marijuana as the preferred illicit drug and 51% used cocaine, 3% reported being HIV, 42% had contact with individuals with TB and 3% of the detainees had the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Therefore, it is concluded that the prison system Diomedes Vinhosa Muniz there was a low prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

The study was approved by the research ethics committee of the Redeemer College in Itaperuna. The research participants had age varying from 23 to 54 years old, signed a consent form, completed a questionnaire and then was carried venipuncture and retirement of 5 mL of blood before and immediately after the competition. The results indicate that there was no statistical difference between the results of hematocrit sedentary (42.33 / ± 2.72) and pre cyclists (43.33 / ± 2.29) and between the latter and post cyclists (43.00 / ± 1.91) for p ≤ 0.05. The results for erythropoietin also was not significant between the sedentary group (7.28 / ± 2.49) and pre cyclists (9.44 / ± 4.37) and between the latter compared to cyclists post (8.95 / ± 3.73). However, the white run was altered after the competition. Therefore, we conclude that the time of collection did not allow variables to determine significant differences between groups

O objetivo deste estudo é descrever o conhecimento local da população do distrito de Catuné, município de Tombos (MG) em relação às plantas utilizadas na medicina tradicional e identificar se tal conhecimento é repassado para as novas gerações. Foram realizadas 40 entrevistas com moradores locais, dos quais 11 (38%) apresentaram idade superior a 60 anos e vinte e nove entrevistados (72%) afirmaram utilizar recursos vegetais como fitoterápicos. O conhecimento local do uso de plantas medicinais não é utilizado por gerações mais jovens. Palavras-chave: Conservação. Etnobotânica. Plantas medicinais. The use of medicinal plants is guided by knowledge gained through the direct relationship with the environment. The aim of this study is to describe the local knowledge of the population in the district of Catuné, municipality of Tombos, MG, in regards to plants used in traditional medicine, and identify if such knowledge is passed on to new generations. Forty (40) interviews were conducted with local residents. Twenty-nine respondents (72%) use plant resources as herbal medicines. Of these, 11 (38%) were over 60 years old. Local knowledge of medicinal plants is not used by younger generations.

Entre os profissionais da saúde e estética, a hepatite B configura-se como uma doença ocupacional. Portanto, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar um levantamento da contaminação pelo vírus da hepatite B, bem como fornecer informações a respeito dessa doença para manicures do município de Itaperuna, RJ. Os resultados obtidos sugerem negatividade de casos com a presença do HBsAg, porém, não se pode deixar de ressaltar que 78% das entrevistadas não sabem de forma completa os meios de transmissão da hepatite B e apenas 2% recebeu o esquema completo de vacinação do vírus, mostrando que ainda existe falta de conhecimento acerca da doença e prevenção tanto ocupacional como pessoal, sendo assim, importante o estudo desse grupo que tem se destacado tanto nos últimos anos, podendo desta forma, informá-las sobre os riscos e as maneiras como elas podem estar se prevenindo.

Os efeitos adversos causados por essa prática afetam diversos órgãos do corpo, principalmente o fígado e os rins. Porém a pesquisa com usuários de esteróides anabolizantes é dificultada pelo fato destes não assumirem o uso. Portanto, para este estudo, foram utilizados 20 ratos Wistar, fêmeas, tratadas com doses crescentes de Decanoato de Nandrolona por quatro semanas consecutivas. O objetivo foi avaliar os parâmetros físicos e biológicos após administração de diferentes dosagens de esteroide nos animais. Os resultados demonstraram que houve alteração significativa nas médias do peso e do hematócrito dos animais, confirmando o efeito anabólico do esteroide. Constatou-se que a dosagem 2,5mg/200g causa o aumento máximo do hematócrito, enquanto 2,0mg/200g causa o aumento máximo do peso, portanto dosagens mais altas começam a apresentar efeito tóxico. Em relação às enzimas hepáticas avaliadas, AST e ALT, não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos. Conclui-se que a administração subcrônica de Decanoato de Nandrolona causou aumento de peso e hematócrito, devido ao seu caráter anabólico, e não causou danos hepáticos do ponto de vista bioquímico.
