Background: Studies of infective endocarditis (IE) are generally limited to institutions, underlining the need for more comprehensive epidemiological research.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the mortality profile of IE-related deaths and related causes in Brazil at the national level and across regions.
Method: We conducted a population-based study using data from the country's mortality information system for the period 2000 to 2019.
A 9-year-old male with autism and a history of well-controlled epilepsy presented with acute headache, fever, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Initial diagnostics, including imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis, were inconclusive. However, further serological testing suggested the presence of the chikungunya virus, establishing a diagnosis of chikungunya-associated neurological manifestation.

Neurological complications of SCD include cerebral ischemia, moyamoya syndrome, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, cerebral fat embolism, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Although less frequent, rare hemorrhagic manifestations, such as spontaneous epidural hematoma (EDH), can occur and are associated with increased mortality and morbidity.

- The increasing number of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and the diagnostic challenges faced by general dentists highlight the need for artificial intelligence in improving TMD diagnosis.
- This study assessed a machine-learning model that classifies TMDs using patient data aligned with the International Classification of Orofacial Pain.
- Results showed the model could accurately classify joint pain at 84% and myofascial pain at 78%, indicating that decision tree-based machine learning can significantly aid in diagnosing TMD.
