While the capsid of viruses in the Alphachrysovirus genus is built of subunits of a single coat protein, the capsid of viruses grouped in the Betachrysovirus genus may consist of subunits of two different proteins. For four of these betachrysoviruses, the detected molecular weights of the putative coat proteins differ from the sizes deduced from the nucleic acid sequence. The origin of these modifications remained unclear and it was hypothesized that the coat proteins undergo unspecific degradation.

- The study compared the skeletal and dental effects of microimplant assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) and surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARPE) in post-peak adolescents and adults.
- Results showed that MARPE resulted in greater skeletal changes in the midface and maxillary base, while SARPE led to a more significant increase in intermolar and interpremolar distance and a greater buccal inclination of the alveolar process.
- Overall, MARPE provided a more parallel expansion, whereas SARPE produced a wider, V-shaped opening with notable differences in dental alignment.
Soybean proteins are widely used as nutritional and functional food ingredients. This investigation evaluated through a 2(3) central composite design the effect of three variables (pH, temperature and enzyme/substrate (E/S) ratio) on the production of soy protein isolate (SPI) hydrolysates with a microbial protease. Soluble peptides, antioxidant activity, and foaming and emulsifying capabilities of the hydrolysates were analyzed.

Methods: Seven ceramic brackets of four commercial brands were tested: Two monocrystalline and two polycrystalline. The brackets were immersed in four dye solutions (coffee, red wine, Coke and black tea) and in artificial saliva for the following times: 24 hours, 7, 14 and 21 days, respectively.
Background: The aim of this study was evaluate the late-onset repercussions of heart alterations of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) after a 13-year follow up.
Methods: A historical prospective study was carried out involving the analysis of data from the charts of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of lupus in follow up since 1998. The 13-year evolution was systematically reviewed and tabulated to facilitate the interpretation of the data.
