Calcium hydroxide has been used as pulp-capping agent and canal dressing due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties besides its ability to induce formation of mineralized tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility to calcium hydroxide of 146 bacterial strains isolated from endodontic infections. MIC was determined by using an agar dilution method, while contact bactericide activity was performed through in broth. All the isolates were sensitive to calcium hydroxide in concentrations that varied from 0.5mg/ml to 128 mg/ml, and the genera Enterococcus, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus and Actinomyces were the most resistant. Gramnegative anaerobes proved to be the most sensitive isolates. All the isolates were inhibited after 60 minutes of contact with the alkali in concentration of 100mg/ml

There is no vaccine available against leishmaniasis. Drug resistance, variable efficacy, toxicity, parenteral administration, and requirement for long courses of administration are the main drawbacks of current leishmanicidal drugs. Infections by protozoans of the genus Leishmania are the major worldwide health problem, with high endemicity in developing countries. The drugs of choice for the treatment of leishmaniasis are the pentavalent antimonials, which exert renal and cardiac toxicity, thus, there is a strong need for safer and more effective treatments against leishmaniasis.

Contexto: O manuscrito descreve o ataque não provocado de um jacaré-do-Pantanal a um pescador. Ataques por jacarés são pouco relatados e a espécie do Pantanal raramente causa acidentes. Descrição do caso: A vítima foi mordida na mão direita quando limpava peixes nas margens do rio Paraguai, por um jacaré de cerca de 1,5 m que saiu debaixo da vegetação aquática. O paciente apresentou dor, secreção purulenta e febre e procurou auxílio médico, apresentando ferimentos perfurocontusos e perfurocortantes e fratura-arrancamento no segundo metacarpiano direito. Após cinco dias de internação, houve significativa regressão do processo inflamatório, quando obteve alta hospitalar para posterior acompanhamento ambulatorial. Discussão: Os acidentes por jacarés podem ser muito graves, devido à dentição e à potência das mandíbulas desses répteis. Embora algumas espécies amazônicas possam predar seres humanos, o jacaré-do-Pantanal não causa mortes, mas mesmo espécimes de pequeno tamanho podem causar lesões graves e infecção secundária importante, como observado no caso. Conclusões: Devido ao potencial traumático e capacidade de inoculação de micro-organismos, as mordidas de jacarés devem ser encaradas como ferimentos de alto risco pelas equipes de saúde.

The annual vaccination campaign against rabies is the most effective prevention procedure for this disease in dogs and cats and hence for human protection also. However, in 2010 and 2011, this activity was interrupted in Brazil due to the occurrence of adverse events associated with vaccination. Even though cases of canine rabies have been decreasing in the last two decades, vigilance must be strengthened in order to maintain pet owners trust in the vaccines provided in public services. This study aimed to determine pet owners participation in the annual vaccination campaign carried out in Botucatu. During March and April 2012, the period before the 42nd campaign, 312 pet owners, dogs and cats, were interviewed. The homes were randomly drawn in blocks from different sectors of the city; all houses on the same block over the 120 km² of urban area participated in the sampling process. Statistical analysis was performed descriptively. The results showed that the owners main motivation to vaccinate their pets during the campaigns is rabies prevention (36%), followed by the proximity of the vaccination station to the house (20.7%), zero cost (10.9%), and the combination of all three factors (16.1%). When asked if they would take their animals back to be vaccinated in another campaign, 60.1% answered yes, 13.5% would go to a private clinic, 2.2% would not take because they do not trust the vaccine and 1.6% had not decided yet. We conclude that the respondents have realized how dangerous Rabies is, because even after the break period, they still utilized the vaccination campaign demonstrating confidence in its effectiveness, while knowing the campaign goals facilitates understanding and participation.
