High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is associated with decreased incidence of cardiovascular events, and its functionality also influences prognosis. Exercise is an important tool to improve prognosis in the post-infarction (MI) population, but the role of exercise on HDL functionality is poorly understood. Sixty-two patients with acute MI were randomized in a supervised exercise program for 12-14 weeks (exercise group-EG) or a control group (CG).

- Pneumocytis jirovecii infection has been linked to respiratory issues in preterm newborns, highlighting the need to study airway mycobiota in this population.
- A study analyzed nasal samples from 26 preterm infants (with and without respiratory distress) and 13 term infants, revealing that 89.7% of newborns had the ascomycota phylum, with Cladosporium being the most common fungus.
- The research is the first of its kind in this area, indicating potential links between fungal presence and prematurity, but emphasizes the need for further studies due to the small sample size.
As SARS-CoV-2 continues to produce new variants, the demand for diagnostics and a better understanding of COVID-19 remain key topics in healthcare. Skin manifestations have been widely reported in cases of COVID-19, but the mechanisms and markers of these symptoms are poorly described. In this cross-sectional study, 101 patients (64 COVID-19 positive patients and 37 controls) were enrolled between April and June 2020, during the first wave of COVID-19, in São Paulo, Brazil.

Article Synopsis
- Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is beneficial for reducing ischemic events but increases bleeding risks, prompting this study to compare the HemCon Dental Dressing (HDD) with oxidized cellulose gauze for patients undergoing dental extractions.
- The study involved 60 DAPT patients, analyzing intra-oral bleeding times and tissue healing after using either HDD or the control gauze during extractions.
- Results showed that HDD significantly reduced bleeding time (2 minutes vs. 5 minutes) and improved healing outcomes compared to the control, suggesting HDD's effectiveness in managing bleeding for patients on DAPT.
Exercise training (ET) can lower platelet reactivity in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. However, the effects of ET on platelet reactivity in higher-risk patients is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ET on platelet reactivity in patients with recent myocardial infarction (MI).
