Study of the Correlation between the Extent and Clinical Severity, and the Histopathological Characteristics of Geographic Tongue.
Folia Morphol (Warsz)

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between the Geographic Tongue Area and Severity Index (GTASI) scores and the histopathological features of geographic tongue lesions, an oral condition with unclear causes.
- - Conducted with 40 participants, the results show that 60% had mild cases, with common histological traits observed, such as parakeratosis and basal layer hyperplasia, regardless of severity levels.
- - Findings indicate that while mild cases exhibit low inflammatory response, more severe cases show distinct histopathological features, suggesting a strong link between the clinical severity of geographic tongue and its histological characteristics.
Objective: To understand how congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) diagnosis has evolved over the years, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the kind of analysis that has been employed for CT diagnosis.
Methods: PubMed and Lilacs databases were used in order to access the kind of analysis that has been employed for CT diagnosis in several samples. Our search combined the following combining terms: "congenital toxoplasmosis" or "gestational toxoplasmosis" and "diagnosis" and "blood," "serum," "amniotic fluid," "placenta," or "colostrum.
COVID-19 has generated a scenario for global health with multiple systemic impairments. This retrospective study evaluated the clinical, radiological, and pulmonary functional evolution in 302 post-COVID-19 patients. Regarding post-COVID-19 pulmonary symptoms, dry cough, dyspnea, and chest pain were the most frequent.

The aim of this study was to evaluate multiple stool sampling and a specific parasitological assay agar plate culture (APC) for the diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis in alcoholics.
Methods: APC was compared to sedimentation technique (HPJ; Hoffman, Pons and Janer), as parasitological methods to detect S.
Rodents infected with are experimental models applied to strongyloidiasis research. This study evaluated oral and subcutaneous dexamethasone (DEX) treatments to establish immunosuppression in an experimental model of hyperinfection. Wistar were divided: G I (-): untreated and uninfected animals, G II (+): untreated and infected, G III (o -) orally treated and uninfected, G IV (o +) orally treated and infected, G V (sc -) subcutaneously treated and uninfected, G VI (sc +) subcutaneously treated and infected.
