Molar Incisor Hypomineralization and Periodontitis in Adolescents: A Population-Based Study.

Aim: To investigate the association between molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and periodontitis in adolescents.

Methods: A population-based study was undertaken of Brazilian adolescents aged 18 and 19 years (n = 2515). MIH was assessed according to Ghanim's criteria.

Synanthropic Rodents as Bioindicator of Human Pathogens in a Tourist Area of Brazil.

The black rat Rattus rattus is an exotic and synanthropic rodent prominent in Brazil and with high adaptation to urban areas. The species have an omnivorous diet feed on human food resources, potentially becoming infected and spreading infectious agents that cause zoonoses such as leptospirosis, leishmaniosis, Chagas disease, and toxoplasmosis, which are significant public health concerns in the country. We analyzed the epidemiologic profile of R.

The rehabilitation of children with brain tumors using exergames: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: To map the literature on the use of exergames in the rehabilitation of school-age children with brain tumors, in any context.

Method: Scoping review protocol developed using the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search will include aggregators, databases, indexes, repositories, and research browsers, without limitation as to the year of publication.

Combination of anaerobic digestion and sludge biochar for bioenergy conversion: Estimation and evaluation of energy production, CO emission, and cost analysis.

Waste-to-energy technologies involve the conversion of several wastes to useful energy forms like biogas and biochar, which include biological and thermochemical processes, as well as the combination of both systems. Assessing the economic and environmental impacts is an important step to integrate sustainability and economic viability at anaerobic digestion systems and its waste management. Energy production, CO emissions, cost analysis, and an overall process evaluation were conducted, relying on findings from both laboratory and pilot-scale experiments.
