January 2025
Background: This review aimed to assess if the use of dexmedetomidine as an additive to local anesthetics promotes greater safety and efficacy than local anesthetics alone in dental procedures.
Material And Methods: the systematic review was structured according to the PICO strategy and adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Studies were included based on the eligibility criteria, and data from the included studies were collected by one author.
Background: This paper reports the occurrence of Panstrongylus guentheri Berg, 1879 in the State of Mato Grosso (MT).
Methods: Triatomines were captured in rural environments in municipalities of MT. Specimens were identified, and Trypanosoma cruzi infection was investigated.

Article Synopsis
- Chikungunya Fever is caused by mosquitoes and can lead to neurological issues like transverse myelitis.
- A case study involved a 29-year-old patient who underwent physical therapy to improve pain, mobility, and lower limb strength following a Chikungunya infection.
- After 20 therapy sessions, significant improvements were observed in pain levels and functional mobility, indicating the effectiveness of the multimodal physical therapy approach.
Objective: To evaluate the ability of resveratrol to reduce dental caries in vitro and in vivo.
Methods: In part 1, a microcosm biofilm protocol was employed. One hundred twenty-six bovine enamel specimens were treated with: Resveratrol (50, 100, 200, 400 µg/mL), Phosphate buffered saline (negative control), Dimethyl sulfoxide (negative control) and 0.
Article Synopsis
- Amazona aestiva, known as the Turquoise-fronted Parrot, has specialized adaptations in its digestive system that enable it to efficiently process a diet rich in seeds and fruits.
- The study focuses on providing the first detailed analysis of the histology and histochemistry of this bird's digestive tract by examining various anatomical parts such as the tongue, esophagus, and intestines.
- Key findings include a highly developed tongue, a less muscular ventriculus, and distinct characteristics of the proventriculus, contributing to the understanding of this species' digestive morphology.
