Extended versus limited mesenteric excision in bowel resection for Crohn's disease: a meta-analysis and systematic review.

Background: There is ongoing debate regarding the benefits of extended mesenteric excision (EME) versus limited mesenteric excision (LME) in intestinal resection for Crohn's disease (CD). Some studies suggest that EME may reduce surgical recurrence, which is defined as the need for reoperation due to disease complications or insufficient response to therapy, when compared with LME. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare postoperative complications, surgical recurrence, and endoscopic recurrence in patients undergoing EME versus LME for CD.

Adjuvant Effect of Photobiomodulation in the Pain Relief and Healing of Ulcerative Lesions from Mammary Tuberculosis.

This case report describes the use of photobiomodulation (PBM) as a complementary therapy in a 45-year-old patient with mammary tuberculosis (TB). The patient received conventional treatment, including antibiotic therapy and analgesics. Three months after the diagnosis, breast pain persisted (Visual Analog Scale [VAS] score: 8), and the mammary lesions had not healed.

Long-term outcomes after AKI in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Introduction And Objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent in hospitalized patients and contributes to adverse short- and long-term outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the association of AKI and long-term adverse renal events and mortality in a cohort of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Material And Methods: Single-center and retrospective study of hospitalized patients admitted to a Dedicated Unit for COVID-19 at Centro Hospitalar Universitário Lisboa Norte, Portugal, between March 2020 and October 2020.

Unravelling physical and radiobiological effects of proton boron fusion reaction with anionic metallacarboranes ([o-COSAN]) in breast cancer cells.

Background: Protons, which are considered low-LET (Linear Energy Transfer) radiation, have an average RBE (relative biological effectiveness) of 1.1, with a range from 0.7 to 1.

Determination of Carbohydrates in Syngonium podophyllum Biomass by Capillary Electrophoresis After Saccharification Process Under Different Sample Preparation Techniques.

To achieve a more sustainable future, it is crucial to conduct studies on lignocellulosic biomass as a source of carbohydrates, ultimately serving as feedstocks for platform molecules that can be converted into biofuels, biopolymers, and chemicals. Urban residue lignocellulosic biomass, exemplified by Syngonium podophyllum, shows promise as an alternative source. This study employed capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect UV detection as an environmentally friendly method for determining xylose and glucose after treating, depolymerizing, and saccharifying Syngonium biomass.
