Brazilian Red Propolis (BRP) is a natural product known for its rich chemical composition and therapeutic potential. This study investigates the phytochemical profile and evaluates the cytotoxic, antiplasmodial, and antimicrobial properties of red propolis extract and its isolated compounds vestitol (1), neovestitol (2), medicarpin (3), 7-O-methylvestitol (4), and oblongifolin B (5). The extract showed selective cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines (IC: 16-39 μg/mL).

Objective: This study used an intersectionality framework to examine 1) the overall frequency of UOCNs, 2) single-indicator inequities, and 3) intersectional inequities in total UOCNs and financial-related UOCNs (FUOCNs) in Sweden before and after implementation of a partial subsidization reform in 2008.
Background/aim: Urban violence represents a significant public health issue globally due to its profound impact on daily life and the high prevalence of victims seeking care in health services. This study aims to evaluate sex differences in victimization patterns, using maxillofacial trauma as a marker for urban violence.
Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from medical records of patients treated for traumatic injuries at a referral hospital for traumatology in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, between January 2008 and December 2022.
Objective: This retrospective study aimed to compare the three-dimensional (3D) outcomes of the novel miniscrew-anchored maxillary protraction (MAMP) therapy and the bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) therapy.
Methods: The sample comprised growing patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion treated with two skeletal anchored maxillary protraction protocols. The MAMP group comprised 22 patients (9 female, 13 male; 10.
Article Synopsis
- The Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS) is a tool used to assess daily mistreatment faced by racialized individuals, particularly in Canadian HIV research focused on African, Caribbean, and/or Black (ACB) and other racialized women.
- The study analyzed data from 504 women (including those living with HIV) to assess the validity and reliability of the EDS across different racial/ethnic groups and HIV statuses through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and multigroup-CFA (mCFA).
- The findings indicate that the EDS provides comparable estimates of racial discrimination across various groups, making it suitable for further research on the health impacts of discrimination among ACB and other racialized women in Canada, despite some redundancy in item pairs
