ABSTRACT
El constante desarrollo de las enfermedades infecciosas, conjuntamente con la aparición de la resistencia microbiana a los antibióticos, ha originado que nuevamente se piense en los fagos como opción terapéutica. De hecho, existe una importante aportación bibliográfica sobre los bacteriófagos y su utilidad para eliminar los procesos infecciosos, lo que ha justificado el continuar investigando acerca del posible uso de estos y de sus productos génicos, como esperanzadora alternativa a los tratamientos con antimicrobianos disponibles en la actualidad. Por ello, en este artículo se ofrece información sobre estos microorganismos, en específico sobre los enzibióticos, y se propone que sean considerados en el combate contra las infecciones bacterianas.
The constant development of the infectious diseases, together with the emergence of the microbial resistance to the antibiotics, has originated that again it is thought on the phages as therapeutic option. In fact, an important literature contribution exists about the bacteriophages and their use to eliminate infectious processes, what has justified the continuity in investigating about the possible use of them and of their genic products, as a promising alternative for treatments with antimicrobials currently available. That is why, information on these microorganisms is offered in this work, specifically on the enzibiotics, and is it intended them to be considered in the bacterial infections control.

Investigar a eficácia da lama negra brasileira como tratamento para inflamação em modelos experimentais de artrite. O efeito antiinflamatório de aplicações de lama foi comparado ao tratamento com água aquecida e ausência de tratamento em modelos experimentais de artrite e osteoartrite induzidas em coelhos e em ratos, visando parâmetros inflamatórios e cartilagem. O tratamento com lama melhorou a infiltração de leucócitos e exerceu um efeito protetor parcial na sinóvia e cartilagem. Nossos resultados sugerem que a lama brasileira apresenta efeito antiinflamatório e pode ser útil como um método complementar ao tratamento de pacientes com doenças articulares crônicas / Investigate the effectiveness of a Brazilian black mud as treatment for inflammation in experimental models of arthritis. Effects of mud applications was compared with warm water and no treatment in experimental models of arthritis and osteoarthritis induced in rabbits and in rats, regarding inflammatory parameters and cartilage. Treatment with mud impaired leukocyte infiltration which was followed by a partial protective effect on synovium and cartilage. Our results show that Brazilian mud presents an anti-inflammatory effect and can be useful as a complementary approach to treat patients with chronicle articular diseases...

Los procederes de la medicina natural y tradicional tienen generalmente en común el objetivo de prevenir y tratar enfermedades. Así, la intención de mantener la salud como la misma vida y tan inherentes a los seres vivos para utilizar lo bueno y defenderse de lo malo. Por la importancia que reviste el tema se realizó este estudio. El universo de trabajo estuvo constituido por 21 enfermeras a quienes les fueron aplicadas encuestas, las que una vez concluidas se convirtieron en registros primarios de datos. Los resultados fueron procesados en una microcomputadora IMB compatible, en la que se obtuvieron los siguientes datos: predominio del personal técnico y que labora en la comunidad; entre las técnicas más utilizadas figuran los peloides, que son mayormente empleadas en la cefalea; sin embargo, se comprobó que el 61,9 (por ciento) de los encuestados no han pasado cursos de superación, pero aplican la medicina natural, y obtienen buenos resultados. Así, podemos concluir que predominó el nivel técnico que laboró en la comunidad, que conocieron fundamentalmente la técnica de los peloides y aplicaron la medicina natural y tradicional con buenos resultados(AU)
Natural and traditional medicine procedures have the general common objective of preventing and treating diseases. Thus, the purposes of preserving health as well as life are inherent to these methods and to the live people so as to use "the good thing" and defend from "the bad thing". We undertook this study due to the importance of the topic. The universe of study was made up of 21 nurses who were administered surveys. Later these surveys served as primary data records. The results were processed in an IBM-compatible micro-computer and the following data were obtained: predominance of technical nursing staff that works in the community; one of the most used techniques was peloids mainly for treating headaches, and it was confirmed that 61.9 percent of the surveyed nurses had not taken any graduate courses, but they were able to successfully apply natural medicine. Therefore, we may conclude that the technical level of nurses working in the community prevailed; they fundamentally used peloids and applied natural and traditional medicine with good results(AU)
