August 2023
Objective: To assess the feasibility of incorporating technology as a new alternative for treating topics on cervical lesions.
Method: This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial with a prospective design. During the realization of this study, 43 women were included and divided between groups A (ointment without silver nanoparticles n = 23) and B (ointment with silver nanoparticles n = 20) clinically healthy and who used the unified health system.
The Covid-19 pandemic caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus created challenges and stimulated development of new forms of treatment in many different areas of medicine. Studies have described the clinical characteristics of patients and their outcomes, including disorders affecting the coagulation system, in which patients infected by the virus enter a hypercoagulable and proinflammatory state that mimics vasculitis. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical status and the treatment administered to three patients who developed acute arterial occlusion after Covid-19 infection.

- Understanding how forests store carbon is essential for effective climate change solutions.
- Analysis of 892 Atlantic Forest inventories reveals that factors like forest disturbance history and tree community characteristics are more significant for carbon storage than traditional environmental drivers like climate and soil.
- The study emphasizes that preventing forest degradation is crucial for maintaining carbon stocks and warns that focusing solely on carbon in conservation policies may overlook the need to protect biodiversity.
Background: Lower limb edema has both systemic and local causes. Using software to differentiate the origin of edema in ultrasound images is an innovation.
Objective: To determine the parameters for using software to differentiate edema of venous and/or lymphatic origin in ultrasound images of the lower limbs.
Tropical forests are being deforested worldwide, and the remaining fragments are suffering from biomass and biodiversity erosion. Quantifying this erosion is challenging because ground data on tropical biodiversity and biomass are often sparse. Here, we use an unprecedented dataset of 1819 field surveys covering the entire Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot.
