Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the oral health issues in individuals with rare genetic conditions affecting skeletal development compared to those without such diseases.
  • It involved 210 participants aged 2 to 54, with half having conditions like mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) and osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), and the other half being healthy individuals recruited from similar locations in Brazil.
  • Results indicated that those with rare diseases were significantly more likely to experience dental problems, being 12.9 times more likely to have oral issues than their counterparts without rare conditions.

Our objective was to investigate the association of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) occurring within the first 56 days of life with blood cell counts and the circulating concentration of metabolites, minerals, and acute phase proteins throughout the pre-weaning period in dairy calves transported to a heifer raising facility within their first week of life. Data from 305 calves transported from dairies in Minnesota to a calf raising facility in New Mexico within their first four days of life were used in this retrospective cohort study. Blood samples were collected at 7, 17, 34, and 56 days of life for the analysis of blood cell counts, biochemistry, and the concentration of acute phase proteins.

Microorganisms with multiple ecological functions can be a useful biotechnological resource in integrated pest- and disease-management programs. This work aimed to investigate the potential endophytic and virulent effects of a strain of on organic cultivation in Brazil. Specifically, the strain's ability to establish itself as an endophyte in common bean, soybean, and sunflower plants when inoculated via seed was evaluated.

Purpose: To investigate the survival rate in implants placement in irradiated and non-irradiated bone in patients undergoing head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment. We focused on the consequences of the main complications, such as osteoradionecrosis and peri-implantitis.

Methods: An electronic search conducted by PRISMA protocol was performed.
