Mosquitoes are the primary vectors of arthropod-borne pathogens. Aedes aegypti is one of the most widespread mosquito species worldwide, responsible for transmitting diseases such as Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya, among other medically significant viruses. Characterizing the array of viruses circulating in mosquitoes, particularly in Aedes aegypti, is a crucial tool for detecting and developing novel strategies to prevent arbovirus outbreaks.

Methods: This is an observational study with data from electronic medical records of children and adolescents followed up at a specialized outpatient clinic from 2019 to 2023. Weight gain, height, BMI variation, BMI z-score, laboratory tests, and associated comorbidities were analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- * Lithium (Li) has been found to have beneficial osteogenic and antioxidant effects, making it a good candidate for enhancing bone tissue repair in diabetics when released from bioactive glass-ceramic materials.
- * A study showed that glass-ceramic microparticles created from a specific type of bioactive glass demonstrated antioxidant activity and promoted bone formation in a rat model of type 1 DM, suggesting their potential use in regenerative medicine for bone tissue.
Article Synopsis
- * It involved 37 patients, with measurements taken both pre- and post-operatively using specific software, showing similar median leg length discrepancies (LLD) and femoral offset changes between the two methods.
- * Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in outcomes, suggesting that using both pre- and intraoperative techniques may be beneficial for restoring femoral parameters in these surgeries.
