Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the main chronic pain that affects the face, and it is associated with dietary changes due to pain and dysfunction. However, there is a scarcity of studies on its impact on nutrition and vice versa.
Objectives: To assess and compare the intake of energy and nutrients among chronic TMD myalgia and asymptomatic women and to evaluate data according to dietary reference intakes (DRI) and the World Health Organization (WHO) values.
Leishmaniasis, caused by protozoa and transmitted by vectors, presents varied clinical manifestations based on parasite species and host immunity. The lack of effective vaccines or treatments has prompted research into new therapies, including thiourea derivatives, which have demonstrated antiprotozoal activities. We synthesized two series of ,'-disubstituted thiourea derivatives through the reaction of isothiocyanates with amines.

Background: Dopamine has been widely related to pain modulation, at central and peripheral levels. In this study we aimed to investigate the mechanisms involved in peripheral antinociception, evaluating the interaction between the dopaminergic and endocannabinoid systems in this event.
Methods: Male Swiss mice (30-40 g) were pre-sensitized by administration of the hyperalgesic PGE (2 μg/paw).
This study investigated the prevalence of white-coat hypertension (WCH) among individuals with office isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH), and systolic-diastolic hypertension (SDH). We evaluated 9122 individuals [57.0 ± 14.
