Article Synopsis
- - The case report analyzes mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients in Brazil, focusing on clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
- - It highlights the unique patterns of oral lesions in Brazil compared to other regions, where oral involvement is usually linked with more severe visceral leishmaniasis in immunocompromised patients.
- - The findings stress the significance of understanding regional differences and the immune status of patients in the diagnosis and treatment of this neglected infectious disease.
Denture stomatitis (DS) is the most common oral fungal infection in denture wearers. Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has been showing to be an effective technique in vivo against fungi, including fungal infections in the oral cavity. The disinfection of both oral mucosa and denture may represent a real advantage in terms of fungus control.

The biodegradable hydrogel (HEDTA) was prepared from cellulose acetate (CA) with a degree substitution (DS) 2.5 by esterification crosslinking with EDTAD catalyzed by triethylamine.

Subsequent conversion of the unreacted carboxyl groups to sodium carboxylates by the addition of aqueous NaHCO3 was performed to enhance the water affinity of the gels.
