Diversity and Distribution of Species Along an Elevation Gradient in Natural and Semi-Natural Forest Ecosystems in Portugal.

Globally, forests are constantly threatened by a plethora of disturbances of natural and anthropogenic origin, such as climate change, forest fires, urbanization, and pollution. Besides the most common stressors, during the last few years, Portuguese forests have been impacted by severe decline phenomena caused by invasive pathogens, many of which belong to the genus . The genus includes a large number of species that are invading forest ecosystems worldwide, chiefly as a consequence of global trade and human activities.

Photobiomodulation Exerts Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects Reducing the Development of Tumors Elicited by 4-NQO in the Mice Tongue.

Objective: Evaluate the influence of photobiomodulation in a model of oral carcinogenesis induced by 4-nitroquinoline-n-oxide (4-NQO).

Subjective: Ninety-six Swiss mice received topical application of 1% 4-NQO on tongue dorsum, for 20 weeks. The tongue was subjected to photobiomodulation with red (71.

Traumatic dental injuries in the first year of life and related risk factors in three regions of Brazil: a multicenter birth cohort study.

Background: Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in early childhood exert a negative impact on the quality of life of children and their families. However, there is no evidence from cohort studies on which to base prevention strategies at the beginning of life, when children are entirely dependent upon supervision. The aim of the present study was to estimate the incidence of TDI in the first year of life and explore risk factors in a birth cohort followed up in three major cities in different regions of Brazil.
