Objective: To assess the coverage and quality of screening by the Cervical Cancer Control Program in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, between 2006 and 2018.

Methods: This was a descriptive study of the cytology screening time series among women living in Campo Grande. A descriptive analysis of the demographic characteristics of these women and the quality of the tests performed in the last five years of the period was carried out.

Anatomy of the tibial nerve in relation to the tarsal tunnel: A cadaveric study.

Background: Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is typically caused by an anatomical variant or mechanical compression of the tibial nerve (TN) with variable success after surgical treatment.

Method: 40 lower-leg specimens were obtained. Dissections were appropriately conducted.

Exercise Capacity and Biomarkers Among Children and Adolescents With Sickle Cell Disease.

Background: Sickle cell disease is the most common genetic hemoglobinopathy globally and systemically affects body functioning, decreasing exercise capacity.

Objective: To assess exercise capacity through the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and biomarkers in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease.

Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 20 children and adolescents from Brazil.

Testicular Changes of Honey Bee Drones, Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae), During Sexual Maturation.

The normal developmental anatomy and histology of the reproductive tract of the honey bee drone, Apis mellifera (Linnaeus, 1758), has been well documented. The post-emergence maturation changes of the accessory glands are likewise well understood, but the normal histological changes of the testicle undergoing physiologic atrophy are not well characterized. To address this knowledge gap, herein we describe the anatomy and sequential histological stages of normal testicular atrophy of drones sampled daily from emergence to sexual maturity in the spring (June) and early summer (July).

A 3D In Vitro Model for Burn Wounds: Monitoring of Regeneration on the Epidermal Level.

Burns affect millions every year and a model to mimic the pathophysiology of such injuries in detail is required to better understand regeneration. The current gold standard for studying burn wounds are animal models, which are under criticism due to ethical considerations and a limited predictiveness. Here, we present a three-dimensional burn model, based on an open-source model, to monitor wound healing on the epidermal level.
