Leishmania presents a complex life cycle that involves both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. By regulating gene expression, protein synthesis, and metabolism, the parasite can adapt to various environmental conditions. This regulation occurs mainly at the post-transcriptional level and may involve epitranscriptomic modifications of RNAs.

- * A meta-analysis of 7163 records from 89 global studies reveals that combining NbS with traditional infrastructure is the most effective way to address multiple climate-related challenges, particularly flooding and runoff.
- * Incorporating NbS significantly lowers the impacts of climate hazards, achieving a reduction of 18.6% compared to the 8.1% reduction from traditional strategies alone, highlighting NbS's essential role in developing resilient and sustainable cities in future climate scenarios.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the oral health issues in individuals with rare genetic conditions affecting skeletal development compared to those without such diseases.
- It involved 210 participants aged 2 to 54, with half having conditions like mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) and osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), and the other half being healthy individuals recruited from similar locations in Brazil.
- Results indicated that those with rare diseases were significantly more likely to experience dental problems, being 12.9 times more likely to have oral issues than their counterparts without rare conditions.
Metal artifact reduction tool and mA levels impact on the diagnosis of fracture extension in endodontically treated teeth using cone-beam CT.

September 2024
Aim: To evaluate the influence of different levels of metal artifact reduction (MAR) tool and milliamperage (mA) on the diagnosis of fracture extension in endodontically treated teeth using cone beam CT (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: Ten maxillary premolars were endodontically treated and positioned in the empty sockets of a human maxilla covered with wax. CBCT acquisitions were performed using the Eagle Edge device (Dabi Atlante, Brazil) adjusted to 120 kVp, FOV of 4 × 6 cm, exposure time of 24 s and voxel size of 0.
Purpose: To evaluate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of individuals diagnosed with Fanconi anemia (FA).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with FA patients from two Brazilian referral centers. Participants underwent a complete dental, periodontal, and oral mucosa examination, as well as assessment of resting salivary flow.
