The trajectory of anxiety symptoms during the transition from childhood to young adulthood is predicted by IQ and sex, but not polygenic risk scores.

Background: Understanding the factors that determine distinct courses of anxiety symptoms throughout development will better guide interventions. There are scarce data-driven longitudinal studies, using multi-modal predictors, investigating the chronicity of anxiety symptoms from childhood to young adulthood, particularly in a middle-income country.

Methods: 2033 youths (ages 6-14 years [Mean age = 10.

Leukocyte depletion during CPB: effects on inflammation and lung function.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is related to inflammatory response and pulmonary dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of CPB leukocyte filtration on inflammation and lung function after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A prospective randomized study was performed to compare CABG patients undergoing CPB leukocyte filtration (n = 9) or standard CPB (n = 11).

Pulp repair after pulpotomy using different pulp capping agents: a comparative histologic analysis.

Purpose: This study's purpose was to histologically evaluate the repair of rat tissue after pulpotomy and covering the pulp tissue with Copaifera langsdorffi oil resin, green propolis extract, fibrin sponge and iodoform-based paste.

Methods: Pulpotomies were performed in the maxillary and mandibular first molars of 21 Wistar rats (84 total teeth). The access cavities were sealed with Coltosol, and histological evaluations were performed at 24 hours, 15 days, and 30 days postoperatively.
