Rapid and accurate methods for dengue virus detection in infected patients are crucial for proper treatment. In this paper it is presented a molecular diagnostic method for detection of dengue virus in a disposable polyester-toner microchip directly from serum samples. The method is based on isothermal amplification of RNA virus and visual detection. The result can be obtained in 15 min with great accuracy and low limit of detection. Details are presented in the Article Molecular Diagnostics of Dengue by Reverse Transcription-Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) in Disposable Polyester-Toner Microdevices by Geovana M. Mendes, Kézia G. Oliveira, Juliane C. Borba, Thais S. Oliveira, Fabíola S. Fiaccadori, Maurício L. Nogueira, Alexandre M. Bailao, Célia Maria A. Soares, Emanuel Carrilho and Gabriela R. M. Duarte on page 1841.

Metals are present mainly in a particulate form and more available to be distributed in the watershed. Most of the rivers presented dissolved metal concentrations below the Brazilian regulation. Whitewaters export more amount of particulate and metals. Sediments samples are not contaminated by metals.

The gas diffusion electrode (GDE) of WO2.72 / Vulcan XC72 generates H2O2. H2O2 reacts with the Fe2+ ion to form the hydroxyl radical (OH). This radical oxidizes the azo dyes to convert them to CO2, H2O and inorganic salts.
