Low Bone Turnover, Mineralization Impairment, and Cortical Alterations in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Histomorphometric Study.

Patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) experience a higher prevalence of fragility fractures, though the pathophysiology of osteoporosis associated with this disease remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the histomorphometric data in r-axSpA patients. Male r-axSpA patients up to 55 years old were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.

Prevalence and factors associated with vitamin D deficiency in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus: Baseline data from a clinical trial in Rio de Janeiro.

Targeting MarA N-terminal domain dynamics to prevent DNA binding.

Efflux is one of the mechanisms employed by Gram-negative bacteria to become resistant to routinely used antibiotics. The inhibition of efflux by targeting their regulators is a promising strategy to re-sensitize bacterial pathogens to antibiotics. AcrAB-TolC is the main resistance-nodulation-division efflux pump in Enterobacteriaceae.
