Antioxidant activity, phytochemical composition, and antitumor capacity of Amazonian fruits taperebá (Spondias mombin) and murici (Byrsonima crassifolia).

The Amazon rainforest is renowned for its biodiversity and as a reservoir of edible and medicinal plants. The phytochemicals in murici and taperebá fruits serve as natural antioxidants, contributing to cultural preservation, ecosystem protection, and economic opportunities. However, limited scientific research on their composition and health benefits hinders their recognition as functional foods.

[The Levels of Progesterone Receptors are Decreased in the Invasive Areas of the Recto-Vaginal Nodules of Endometriosis].

Unlabelled: Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the growth of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. In response to estradiol, this tissue begins to proliferate and grow, forming lesions and nodules, which can invade the tissues, causing pelvic pain and infertility. The most widely used pharmacological treatment is progesterone, which manages to reduce symptoms, but approximately one-third of patients develop resistance to treatment.

Safety of Simultaneous Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Systematic Review.

Cholelithiasis and inguinal hernias are common surgical conditions that often coexist. Laparoscopic techniques are increasingly used for both cholecystectomy and inguinal hernia repair. This study aimed to systematically review the available evidence on the safety and efficacy of simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR).

Seed biopriming with Parachlorella, Bacillus subtilis, and Trichoderma harzianum alleviates the effects of salinity in soybean.

Background: Seed conditioning with bioinputs (biopriming) offers a promising and sustainable alternative to mitigate the adverse effects of salt stress on soybeans. This study aims to evaluate the potential of isolated or combined biopriming using microalgae and different microorganisms in alleviating salinity-induced stress in soybeans in early-stage.

Methods: Seeds were subjected to five biopriming treatments: Parachlorella sp.

Endoscopic vacuum therapy for leaky cavities: is it possible?

A 71-year-old male patient with a history of bladder neoplasia underwent Bricker-type surgery, during which an iatrogenic rectal injury occurred. During surgery, an unsuccessful suture attempt was made, leading to the appearance of fecaluria after 48 hours. A computed tomography scan revealed a small continuity defect in the rectal wall, accompanied by a 25-mm adjacent collection.
