Quality of life outcomes in colorectal cancer survivors: insights from an observational study at a tertiary cancer center.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) significantly impacts the quality of life (QoL) of survivors, yet detailed assessments of long-term QoL are sparse. This study evaluates QoL among CRC survivors, examining the influence of different treatments and patient characteristics on outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at a tertiary cancer center in Portugal, enrolling CRC patients who underwent curative surgery from 2013 to 2022.

Three-dimensional volumetric analysis of the temporomandibular joint space using a standard conical object.

Objective: The objective was to present a novel method for the assessment of the temporomandibular joint space volume (TMJSV) in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations with TMJ region landmarks. The significance of differences in measurements of mandibular head width (MHW) and volume (MHV) as well as TMJSV was calculated comparing right vs. left sides and males vs.

Urticalean Rosids Clade (Rosales): Deciphering the Riddle From a Chemical Point of View.

Cannabaceae, Moraceae, Ulmaceae and Urticaceae are members of the Urticalean rosids clade (Rosales). Their infrafamilial and infrageneric relationships remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to assess chemical similarities and differences between families of the Urticalean rosids clade based on aromatic phenolic compounds.

"Water" Populations: Environment-Health, from the Social Determination and Health Policy perspective, in the Baixo Amazonas Region-PA.

The relationship between the environment and health has become a relevant topic on the public policy agenda since the 1990s. This study seeks to describe this relationship from the perspective of the National Policy for Comprehensive Health of Populations of the Countryside, Forest, and Waters in the community of São Pedro, in the Lower Amazon region of Pará. This is a descriptive study focused on conducting diagnoses that consider the environment-health relationship in the Community.

Comparative Analysis of the Enzymatic, Coagulant, and Neuromuscular Activities of Two Variants of Venom and Antivenom Efficacy.

We compared the enzymatic, coagulant, and neuromuscular activities of two variants (yellow-CDRy and white-CDRw) of venom with a sample of (CDT) venom and examined their neutralization by antivenom against CDT venom. The venoms were screened for enzymatic and coagulant activities using standard assays, and electrophoretic profiles were compared by SDS-PAGE. Neutralization was assessed by preincubating venoms with crotalic antivenom and assaying the residual activity.
