Individualized multidisciplinary therapy for vulvodynia.

Objective: The main objective of this review was to develop strategies for individualizing multidisciplinary therapy for vulvodynia.

Methods: We conducted two literature searches; the first one focused on clinical trials assessing vulvodynia treatments published after the recommendations of the expert committee of the Fourth International Consultation on Sexual Medicine. The second search targeted studies identifying predictive factors and mediators of vulvodynia treatments, published from the earliest date to October 2022.

[Central nervous system adverse events potentially associated with drugs used for COVID-19: scoping reviewEventos adversos en el sistema nervioso central potencialmente relacionados con los medicamentos para tratar la COVID-19: revisión exploratoria].

Objective: To identify central nervous system (CNS) adverse events potentially associated with prophylaxis or drug treatment for COVID-19, and to describe the characteristic of the individuals affected.

Methods: A scoping review was performed using a search strategy to retrieve articles from PubMed, EMBASE, SciELO, Scopus, CINAHL and BVS databases. Studies reporting on individuals receiving prophylactic or curative drugs for COVID-19 with at least one CNS adverse event were included.

Long Term Follow-up Results of Surgical Management of Chronic Pancreatitis.

Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive loss of exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function. Surgical procedures are required in cases of intractable pain, biliary obstruction or intestinal obstruction, complications from pseudocysts, or pancreatic fistulae. Objective: To assess the outcomes after surgical management of chronic pancreatitis, in a long-term follow-up.

Performance of Chaetosiphon fragaefolii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in Different Strawberry Cultivars.

The green aphid Chaetosiphon fragaefolii (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the most important pests of strawberry production systems worldwide. One of the fundamental points for developing management strategies for this aphid is the understanding of its population growth since this allows predictions about future population peaks and which are the most appropriate hosts for its survival and reproduction. Thus, the goal of this study was to evaluate the biological and population growth parameters of C.

Nephrotoxicity prevalence in patients treated with polymyxins: a systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies.

Colistin and polymyxin B are increasingly reintroduced in clinical practice due to the absence of effective antibiotics for the treatment of emerging infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. The synthesis of current evidence on the characteristics of polymyxins, especially regarding nephrotoxicity, is necessary. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort-type observational studies in order to identify the prevalence of nephrotoxicity in patients treated with either colistin or polymyxin B.
