Article Synopsis
- - Cocoon silk is known for its strength, biocompatibility, and hypoallergenic features, but its medical uses are still under-explored, making this review important for assessing its properties and possible applications in biomaterials and tissue engineering.
- - A systematic review was performed following PRISMA guidelines, analyzing 192 silk studies and finding that 9 met the criteria; results showed varied tensile strengths (0.464 to 483.9 MPa) and elongation at break (2.56% to 946.5%).
- - Despite showing great potential for applications like tissue regeneration and energy harvesting, cocoon silk's fragility in some forms poses challenges, highlighting the need for further research to unlock its full biomedical
Introduction: is a yeast-like anamorphic rare fungus commonly found in tropical areas. This case report is the first one located in South America.
Case Report: A 67-year-old patient presented with a 5-year history of right foot pain attributed to foot trauma while at sea 5 years prior.
Many developing countries have adopted community-based primary health-care programs. A vital component of these programs is health literacy, which teaches households to avoid physical harm. Child labor can often result in physical harm through injury.

We test if mental health issues are particularly likely to occur among some of the most vulnerable children in developing countries: those that work. Despite falling in recent decades, child labor still engages 168 million children across the world.

Where country-level prevalence data or large-scale research exists, rates of child sexual abuse are consistently higher in developing and non-western countries than their western and developed counterparts.
Objective: We systematically reviewed research on the nature of child sexual abuse interventions in developing countries, the settings and populations included to identify types of child sexual abuse prevention initiatives being implemented in developing countries and their effectiveness.
