Sex Differences in Patients with Stroke: A Hospital-Based Multicenter Prospective Study in Brazil.

Introduction: Stroke in Brazil disproportionately affects women, despite men having higher age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates. Women's longer lifespan contributes to their increased stroke burden, particularly among older individuals.

Objective: This study examines sex disparities in stroke epidemiology and treatment in Fortaleza, Brazil, addressing the lack of sex-specific stroke data.

Interaction between the dopaminergic and endocannabinoid systems promotes peripheral antinociception.

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).

Relationship between white-coat hypertension and office isolated systolic or diastolic hypertension: an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring study.

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.

Seasonal and circadian rhythms of clerodane diterpenes and glycosylated flavonoids in two varieties of Sw. (Salicaceae).

Sw. (Salicaceae) is noted for its morphological and chemical plasticity and pharmacological properties. The present study investigates two of its varieties: var.

Bacillus endophytic strains control Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici in tomato cv. Perinha.

Fusarium wilt is one of main phytopathology attacking tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plantations in Brazil. Plant rhizosphere and endophytic beneficial microorganism are well known as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.
