Background: Advances in encephalitis research have improved the definition and management of encephalitis during the acute phase. Still, little is known about long-term outcomes in different subtypes of encephalitis.
Objectives: To analyze the prevalence and predictors of long-term clinical outcomes in different subtypes of encephalitis.
Advancing functional ecology depends fundamentally on the availability of data on reproductive traits, including those from tropical plants, which have been historically underrepresented in global trait databases. Although some valuable databases have been created recently, they are mainly restricted to temperate areas and vegetative traits such as leaf and wood traits. Here, we present Rock n' Seeds, a database of seed functional traits and germination experiments from Brazilian rock outcrop vegetation, recognized as outstanding centers of diversity and endemism.

Qualitative interviews and demographic surveys were conducted with two cohorts of health care workers. Cohort 1 (N=15) was interviewed between July 20 - August 7, 2020, and Cohort 2 (N=16) between September 28 - October 9, 2020.

Thus, this work aims to (i) investigate the in situ contribution of pericarp and aril on seed viability and germination, and (ii) identify morphoanatomical traits of S. langsdorffii diaspores that allow its desiccation-sensitive seeds to remain viable.

- The study quantified how fracture geometry and the rigidity of restorative materials affect stress distribution in restored fractured central maxillary incisors, focusing on adhesive interfaces.
- Three fracture plane orientations were modeled using finite element analysis to assess how different angles influence stress intensity and distribution under controlled loading conditions.
- Results showed significant variations in stress levels, with the -30° fracture model experiencing the highest interfacial stress, while the rigidity of restorative materials provided minimal impact on the stress state in certain models.
