Small cell osteosarcoma in gnathic bones in the maxilla: case report in a pediatric patient.

Small cell osteosarcoma (SCOS) is a rare variant of conventional osteosarcoma, characterized by tumor cells of small size and uniform morphology, which can lead to diagnostic confusion with other small cell tumors, requiring a detailed diagnostic approach. The manifestation in a child adds a degree of complexity, as the management of malignant tumours in paediatric patients requires specific considerations to minimize the long-term side effects of oncological treatment and preserve the structural and functional development of the orofacial region. This report concerns an 8-year-old female patient referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery outpatient clinic with progressive swelling in the right maxillofacial region, initially asymptomatic, but progressing to pain and difficulty chewing.

Preparation of -Myrcene-Chitosan Nanoparticles and Their Uptake and Toxicity in Larvae.

Ayahuasca Pretreatment Prevents Sepsis-Induced Anxiety-Like Behavior, Neuroinflammation, and Oxidative Stress, and Increases Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor.

The psychoactive decoction Ayahuasca (AYA) used for therapeutic and religious purposes by indigenous groups and peoples from Amazonian regions produces anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Thus, it may be useful to attenuate the neuroinflammation and related anxiety- and depressive-like symptoms elicited by inflammatory insults such as sepsis. Rats were pretreated for 3 days with different doses of AYA.

Pilot Study: Behavioral and Medical Clinical Partnership for Optimization of Positive Airway Pressure Therapy in Pediatric Patients.

Background: To assess the effectiveness of a structured algorithm for pediatric positive airway pressure (PAP) initiation for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Identification of JC polyomavirus in upper respiratory samples from Portuguese children.

Background: JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is ubiquitous in the human population and the causative agent of a rare, fatal and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system named Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). The route of JCPyV transmission remains unclear, but high values of seroprevalence suggest an easy and frequent mode, such as respiratory route.

Objectives: The present study aims to investigate the presence of JCPyV in upper respiratory samples and contribute to the elucidation of the JCPyV transmission pathway.

Memorializing Women on the Move: A register of migrant women landmarks in Europe.

This dataset was developed by COST Action 19112 Women on the Move (WEMov), which engages in unveiling women migrants' presence and participation in the construction of Europe. The dataset was built as a register of toponyms and monuments in the political and public landscape in Europe - such as street names, school names and parks, as well as statues and memorials - that celebrate women migrants. With the dataset we want to discover how women migrants are remembered and what kind of landmarks present these individuals who have had an episode of migration for a variety of reasons.

Factors Associated with the Practice of Low-Carb and Low-Fat Diets among Participants of the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil).

In the field of nutrition, both low-carbohydrate (LCD) and low-fat (LFD) diets were initially intended for specific subgroups but are now being embraced by the broader population for various purposes, including aesthetics and overall health. This study aims to assess sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle factors influencing diet choices among public servants in the ELSA-Brasil cohort. Diets were classified as LCD or LFD based on the Brazilian Diabetes Society (<45%) and WHO guidelines (<30%) respectively.

Electrodiagnosis for mitigating false-negative non-responsiveness in electrical evoked contractions: A case series exploring probable polyneuromyopathy induced by nonuse.

Introduction: The revised international standards for neurological classification of spinal cord injury (ISNCSCI) have facilitated the documentation of non-spinal cord injury-related impairments, such as chronic peripheral nerve injuries and muscle weakness due to immobility. This advancement addresses potential biases in muscle strength examinations. Utilizing electrically evoked contractions from paralyzed muscles, enhanced by electrodiagnosis, holds promise in identifying false-negative diagnoses of non-responsiveness to neuromuscular electrical stimulation.

Digital resources in the monitoring of patients with cleft lip and palate: protocol for a scoping review.

Introduction: Cleft lip and/or palate (CL+/-P) is a congenital malformation affecting the lip and palate, requiring long-term treatment due to potential associated complications. For this reason, it is important for the patient to be continuously monitored and followed for health promotion and prevention, as well as improving the quality of life. The aim of this scoping review protocol is to identify and map the available evidence regarding the application of digital resources and technologies in the monitoring and follow-up of patients with CL+/-P.

New insights into genetic diversity, and its influence on parasite biology and clinical outcomes.

Chagas disease, caused by , remains a serious public health problem worldwide. The parasite was subdivided into six distinct genetic groups, called "discrete typing units" (DTUs), from TcI to TcVI. Several studies have indicated that the heterogeneity of species directly affects the diversity of clinical manifestations of Chagas disease, control, diagnosis performance, and susceptibility to treatment.
