Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is an important cause of respiratory infection in humans. Severe cases are common in children ≤2 years old, immunocompromised individuals, and the elderly. In 2020, RSV infection reduced in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), southern Brazil; however, in 2021 resurgence of RSV was observed.

- - C60 fullerene nanoparticles can negatively impact lung mechanics and mitochondrial function in mice, leading to increased inflammation and pulmonary issues.
- - In a study, mice exposed to C60 showed heightened lung tissue stiffness, more inflammatory cells, and lung edema compared to a control group.
- - Mitochondria from C60-exposed mice demonstrated reduced oxygen consumption and ATP production, along with elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting significant cellular stress.
C fullerene (C) is a nano-pollutant that can damage the respiratory system. Eugenol exhibits significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We aimed to investigate the time course of C emulsion-induced pulmonary and spermatic harms, as well as the effect of eugenol on C emulsion toxicity.

Three centers of diversity, 58 genera, and about 3,140 bromeliad species are currently recognized. We compiled all of the studies related to the reproductive biology, genetic diversity, and population structure of the Bromeliaceae, and discuss the evolution and conservation of this family.
