Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how inoculating Tilia tomentosa seedlings with Ectomycorrhizal fungi, specifically Lactarius deliciosus and Paxillus involutus, impacts their growth, especially in urban settings where such fungi may be scarce.
- - Paxillus involutus was found to be particularly beneficial, significantly improving growth metrics like plant height, mycorrhization rates, and phosphorus uptake in both acidic and alkaline substrates, while Lactarius deliciosus showed limited benefits only in alkaline conditions.
- - The research concludes that inoculating seedlings with the right fungi enhances their resilience against stressors, such as water scarcity, and stresses the importance of considering soil pH for effective transplanting in urban environments.

Despite conventional treatment, cardiac tissue engineering emerges as a potential alternative for the advancement and treatment of these patients, using biomaterials to replace or repair cardiac tissues. Among these materials, gelatin in its methacrylated form (GelMA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer with adjustable biophysical properties.

Background: The Parkinson's Disease-Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) assesses posterior-cortical and frontal-subcortical cognitive functioning and distinguishes mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI); however, it was not evaluated in Brazil.
Objectives: To investigate PD-CRS's reliability, validity, normative data, and accuracy for PD-MCI screening in Brazil.
Methods: The effects of age, education, and sex on PD-CRS scores were explored.
Objectives: to analyze the association between nursing workload and neonatal mortality risk in newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Methods: this is an observational, cross-sectional study conducted from January 2019 to January 2020.
Results: the sample consisted of 399 newborns, 55.
