Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide as well as a major blockade to sustainable human development. It is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Anticoagulants are among the most essential life-saving drugs that are generally used in cardiology for the prevention and treatment of many CVD.

Purpose: Arthroplasty surgery can be challenging because of limited exposure of the bones. However, in shoulder arthroplasty for example, a good positioning of the glenoid component is essential to mitigate risks of revision surgeries. To improve the procedure's outcomes, mixed reality can be used as a guidance system relying on a fundamental registration step between the patient's bone and its corresponding 3D model.

Method: We conducted a systematic literature review on various phase 3 Randomized controlled trails, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group clinical trials for 52 weeks from 2017 to 2019 conforming to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. The primary efficacy endpoints were American College of Rheumatology 20 response rate improvement criteria, other secondary endpoints were American College of Rheumatology 50/70 response rates, Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index, Disease Activity Score-28 for rheumatoid arthritis with Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate/C Reactive Protein and Radiographic outcomes.
Genetic variability of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Brazil is wide, being this the result of natural and cultural selection during pre- and post-domestication of the species in different environments. Given the number of species of the genus found in the region (38 of a total of 98 species), the central region of Brazil was defined as the primary center of cassava diversity. Therefore, genetic diversity characterization of cassava accessions is fundamental, both for farmers and for plant breeders, because it allows the organization of genetic resources and better utilization of available genetic diversity.

This study aimed to evaluate the genetic variability shown by 63 garlic accessions belonging to Instituto Agronômico de Campinas and the Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz" germplasm collections.
