Isothermal Dehydrogenation of Ammonia Borane: Insights into BNH Polymers and Challenges in Regeneration.

In this study, the BNH polymers produced by ammonia borane (AB) thermolysis under isothermal conditions were investigated. Polyaminoborane (PAB) and diammoniate of diborane (DADB) form upon releasing the first equivalent of H at 85 °C, followed by the formation of cross-linked polyborazylene (PB) at 140 °C. Polyiminoborane (PIB) was not detected under these conditions.

[Births in Brazilian Birthing Centers: a research protocol].

In Brazil, Freestanding Birth Centers (FBC) are defined as health units linked to hospitals that may be located within these facilities (alongside birth center - ABC) or in their surroundings (FBC). The Brazilian Ministry of Health has defined the physical and care structure of FBC. Their care model includes appropriate practices, good maternal and infant outcomes, and the promotion of positive experiences for women during childbirth.

Draft genome of CV167, a bacteriocinogenic strain isolated from raw milk in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Here, we describe the draft genome sequence of CV167, a strain isolated from raw milk in Brazil that exhibits antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. The draft genome has a completeness index of 99.3%, spans 2,736,418 base pairs, has a guanine-cytosine content of 37.

Model of care in freestanding birth centers in Brazil: a scoping review.

Freestanding birth centers (FBCs) in Brazil are regulated to provide care for women with a straightforward pregnancy. The systematization of the literature on FBCs can broaden our knowledge of these facilities. We conducted a scoping review to answer the following research question: "What are the characteristics of the model of care in freestanding birth centers in Brazil?".

Antimicrobial Effect and Cytocompatibility After Using Different Decontamination Methods on Titanium Implant Surfaces: An In Vitro Study.

Aim: To evaluate in vitro the antibacterial efficacy and cytocompatibility of different implant-decontamination methods, using both 2D and 3D peri-implant mucosa models.

Methods: Four decontamination methods [chlorhexidine (CHX), electrolytic treatment (GS), curcumin (CUR), xanthohumol (XN)] were compared in four independent experiments, three with a 2D peri-implant mucosa model on titanium surfaces and another on a 3D peri-implant mucosa model. These decontamination procedures were tested for their antibacterial effect using a multispecies biofilm model with Streptococcus oralis, Actinomyces naeslundii, Veillonella dispar, and Porphyromonas gingivalis for 24 h.
