Physical and Sensory Long-Term Disabilities from Snakebite Envenomings in Manaus, Western Brazilian Amazon.

Snakebites caused by snakes are the most prevalent in the Amazon region, causing local and systemic complications. Local complications are mostly represented by necrosis, secondary bacterial infection and compartment syndrome. There are reports of long-term disabilities, but their burden is poorly investigated.

Postoperative pain in primary root canal treatments after Er: YAG laser-activated irrigation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

This systematic review aimed to compare postoperative pain in endodontic treatments using PIPS Er: YAG laser-activated irrigation (LAI) versus conventional needle irrigation. An electronic search was conducted to identify randomized clinical trials (RCT) investigating postoperative pain in patients who underwent root canal treatments in permanent teeth using PIPS Er: YAG laser-activated irrigation or conventional needle irrigation. Two reviewers performed study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment (RoB 2.

Is there a difference in the results of the video head impulse test in patients with a nosological diagnosis of Ménière's Disease and Vestibular Migraine?

Purpose: To compare vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain values, gain symmetry between the semicircular canals (SCCs), and saccadic parameters in patients with a nosological diagnosis of Ménière's disease (MD) and vestibular migraine (VM).

Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee, under evaluation report number 4.462.

Treatment With Full-Spectrum Cannabidiol Oil Improved the Pathological Findings of Dystrophic Mutant Mice.

Introduction/aims: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene, making muscle fibers susceptible to contraction-induced membrane damage. Given the potential beneficial action of cannabidiol (CBD), we evaluated the in vitro effect of full-spectrum CBD oil on the viability of dystrophic muscle fibers and the in vivo effect on myopathy of the mdx mouse, a DMD model.

Methods: In vitro, dystrophic cells from the mdx mouse were treated with full-spectrum CBD oil and assessed with cell viability and cytotoxic analyses.

Modification of the existing maximum residue level for acequinocyl in strawberries.

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Agro-Kanesho Kabushiki Kaisha submitted a request to the competent national authority in Greece to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance acequinocyl in strawberries. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for strawberries based on the indoor GAP. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of acequinocyl in strawberries at the validated LOQ of 0.
