ORAL ADMINISTRATION OF CYANTRANILIPROLE TO WISTAR RATS DURING PREGNANCY AND LACTATION ALTERS MATERNAL BEHAVIOR AND HARMS THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM OF PUBERTAL AND ADULT OFFSPRING.

Over the past years, global pesticide use has increased by 20%. New insecticidal molecules, like cyantraniliprole, aim to reduce side effects due to the high toxicity of pesticides and their harmful effects on health and the environment. Its mechanism involves binding to ryanodine receptors, causing rapid calcium ion release.

Exercise-Driven Comprehensive Recovery: Pulmonary Rehabilitation's Impact on Lung Function, Mechanics, and Immune Response in Post-COVID-19 Patients.

We sought to evaluate the effects of a 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program on lung function, mechanics, as well as pulmonary and systemic inflammation in a cohort of 33 individuals with moderate to severe post-COVID-19. : The pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program employed a combination of aerobic and resistance exercises. Thirty minutes of treadmill training at 75% of the maximum heart rate, combined with 30 min resistance training consisting of 75% of one maximum repetition, three times a week throughout 12 weeks.

Conventional endotracheal tubes versus polymer-coated tubes in ventilator-associated pneumonia development: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Endotracheal tubes (ETT) are used in patients who require ventilatory support. Colonization of ETTs by microorganisms is associated with developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Thus, this meta-analysis aims to compare conventional endotracheal tubes with those made using materials designed to prevent colonization.

Effects of an exercise program with augmented reality on functional fitness and physical activity of community-dwelling older adults.

Background: This study aims to investigate the effects of a multimodal program using augmented reality on the functional fitness and physical activity of older adults living in the community.

Method: Seventy-eight older adults living in the community participated in this study. Participants were divided into three groups: a control group that maintained their usual activities, and two experimental groups, one with multimodal training (EG1) and the other with multimodal training combined with augmented reality (EG2).

Effects of photobiomodulation therapy (660-nm laser) on median nerve function in Wistar rats.

This study investigates the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) with a 660-nm laser on nerve regeneration and muscle morphometry following median nerve axonotmesis in rats. Sixteen Wistar rats were divided into a control group and laser-treated group, with the latter receiving 10 applications of PBM (660 nm; 20 mW; 10 J/cm; 0.4 J; and 20 s) over 2 weeks.
