Viral Metagenomics in Patients Who Underwent Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT): A Brazilian Experience.

Viral infections are one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality among patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Immunosuppression may lead to the reactivation of latent viruses or the acquisition of new infections, resulting in severe clinical outcomes. The early detection of viral reactivations is crucial for effective patient management and post-transplant care.

Oocytes Quality Assessment-The Current Insight: A Systematic Review.

An overall in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome is dynamic. Good oocyte quality is important for achieving a better IVF pregnancy. Various methods have been used for OQ assessment (OQA).

Incisors inclination in relation to lip parameters: a CBCT study.

Introduction: With the introduction of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in dentistry, precise measurements are now attainable.

Objective: This study seeks to explore the correlation between incisors inclination and various lip parameters utilizing CBCT technology. Moreover, it aims to assess whether specific incisors inclinations significantly influence lip thickness, length, and position.

Targeting quorum sensing for manipulation of commensal microbiota.

Bacteria communicate through the accumulation of autoinducer (AI) molecules that regulate gene expression at critical densities in a process called quorum sensing (QS). Extensive work using simple systems and single strains of bacteria have revealed a role for QS in the regulation of virulence factors and biofilm formation; however, less is known about QS dynamics among communities, especially in vivo. In this review, we summarize the diversity of QS signals as well as their ability to influence "non-target" behaviors among species that have receptors but not synthases for those signals.
