Periodontitis, an oral disease initiated by a dysbiotic dental biofilm, has an unclear response to photobiomodulation (PBM) as an adjunctive treatment. This study investigates the effects of PBM on reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers in a periodontitis model using C57BL/6 mice, divided into four groups: control (C), control + PBM (C + PBM), periodontitis (P), and periodontitis + PBM (P + PBM). An infrared diode laser (808 nm, 133.

- - The study aimed to evaluate the resilience of individuals with traumatic spinal cord injuries using two specific resilience scales (CD-RISC-10 and RS-14) and to assess the relationship between resilience and various demographic factors.
- - Conducted with 254 adults, the research found that the average resilience scores were moderate, with significant correlations between the two scales, but no associations with sociodemographic factors like gender or income.
- - The findings highlight the importance of understanding resilience in spinal cord injury patients to improve care but indicate that resilience levels aren't influenced by common demographic variables.

Although bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) act as natural reservoirs for many zoonotic pathogens around the world, few studies have investigated the occurrence of agents in bats, especially vampire bats. The family (order Rickettsiales) encompasses obligate intracellular bacteria of the genera , , , , , and . The present study aimed to investigate, using molecular techniques, the presence of species of , , and in vampire bats sampled in northern Brazil.

The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence and molecular identity of Anaplasmataceae agents in birds from the Pantanal wetland, Brazil. Blood samples were collected from 93 different species.
