Sporotrichosis during pregnancy: A retrospective study of 58 cases in a reference center from 1998 to 2023.

Background: Pregnant women constitute a vulnerable population occasionally affected by zoonotic sporotrichosis. Treatment is challenging due to potentially teratogenic oral medications (itraconazole and saturated potassium iodide solution) or lack of clinical experience during pregnancy (terbinafine). Literature is scarce on sporotrichosis and pregnancy, mainly consisting of case reports.

Extracellular vesicles in tumor-adipose tissue crosstalk: key drivers and therapeutic targets in cancer cachexia.

Cancer cachexia is a complex metabolic syndrome characterized by unintentional loss of skeletal muscle and body fat. This syndrome is frequently associated with different types of cancer and negatively affects the prognosis and outcome of these patients. It involves a dynamic interplay between tumor cells and adipose tissue, where tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in mediating intercellular communication.

Interrelation of Stress, Eating Behavior, and Body Adiposity in Women with Obesity: Do Emotions Matter?

Background/objectives: Obesity is influenced by biological, hormonal, and social factors, contributing to chronic diseases and burdening the healthcare system. Chronic stress and emotional eating are linked to weight gain, affecting eating behaviors and metabolism. This study aimed to assess the association between stress, eating behavior, and adiposity in obese women.

Comparison of facial profile attractiveness in pattern III patients treated with facial filling or orthognathic surgery.

Objective: To compare facial profile attractiveness according to orthodontists, dentists, and laypeople in pattern III patients treated with facial filling or orthognathic surgery.

Materials And Methods: Thirty pattern III patients were retrospectively divided into two groups. Group 1 comprised 15 patients (10 females, five males; mean age 37.

Effects of feeding and aeration strategies on NO production and emission by an aerobic granular sludge system for municipal wastewater treatment.

The effects of a single feeding cycle followed by a continuous aeration phase (AND) and a step-feeding cycle followed by intermittent aerobic/idle phases (AND) on the production and emission of nitrous oxide (NO) from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) from real domestic sewage were studied. Higher NO emissions were observed in the AND treatment, and 9.2 ± 4.
