Neurological evaluation in quilombolas individuals exposed to organophosphorus pesticides in the brazilian Amazon population
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the biochemical changes of this enzyme and the occurrence of neurological symptoms. In addition, an attempt is made to link the neurocognitive damage to environmental and human pollution near oil pal...

| description |
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship
between the biochemical changes of this enzyme and the occurrence of
neurological symptoms. In addition, an attempt is made to link the
neurocognitive damage to environmental and human pollution near oil palm
monocultures in the Amazon. This is a descriptive crosssectional study in a
quilombola community in the state of Pará exposed to pesticides from 2017
to 2019 through epidemiological, clinical, biochemical, and toxicological
investigations. Clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory data of the subjects
were used for the study, as well as a neurological examination using a
pesticide poisoning examination form from the Instituto Evandro Chagas.
The sample of the study includes 195 people. Of these, more than half
(54.9%) were male and the rest were female. As for the age group of the
participants, 28.7% were children and adolescents, 58% of the subjects were
between 20 and 59 years old, and another 13.3% were elderly. It was found
that the reduced AChE levels were significantly lower in individuals with
neurological complaints. In addition, the most frequently expressed signs
and symptoms were weakness in 28.7%, memory impairment in another
24.6%, insomnia in 21%, and motor disorders in 15%. And it was found that
the female gender manifested the neurological clinical picture the most and
showed the greatest reduction in AChE enzyme. Therefore, it is necessary to
biologically monitor populations exposed to the environment OP |
