Water pollution caused by ash from grassland fires alters the molecular, biochemical, and morphological biomarkers of non-biting midge larvae.

The frequency and intensity of wildfires have been increasing in many parts of the world, which may result in biodiversity loss. Wildfires can devastate plant communities, generating toxic ash that pollutes watercourses through runoff. However, our understanding of the effects of ash exposure on aquatic biodiversity is still limited.

Tissue response and expression of interleukins (IL)-1ß, IL-6, IL-10 after pulp capping with bioglasses in mice.

This study aimed to evaluate the pulp response to F18 and cobalt-doped F18 bioglass (F18Co) in comparison with calcium hydroxide (CH) after pulp capping. The maxillary first molars of 48 rats were divided into F18, F18Co, CH, and control (no intervention) groups. The pulp was exposed, the materials were placed, and the teeth were capped.

AI-guided identification of risk variants for adrenocortical tumours in p.R337H carrier children: a genetic association study.

Background: Adrenocortical tumours (ACT) in children are part of the Li-Fraumeni cancer spectrum and are frequently associated with a germline pathogenic variant. p.R337H is highly prevalent in the south and southeast of Brazil and predisposes to ACT with low penetrance.

Shaping the Future: Proposed Bills to Regulate New and Emerging Tobacco and Nicotine Products in Latin America and the Caribbean Amidst Public Health Concerns and Industry Interests.

Introduction: To examine legislative efforts to regulate new and emerging tobacco and nicotine products (NETNPs) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) between 2017 and 2022.

Aims And Methods: Analysis of online national legislation databases to track NETNP bills using standard snowball search methods.

Results: Bills were identified in 15 out of the 33 LAC countries, accounting for a total of 91 bills targeting NETNPs.
