- Rhodnius prolixus is a bug that carries two parasites, including the one causing Chagas disease, and its hormonal system, particularly ecdysone, plays a vital role in its development and immunity.
- The study examined how inhibiting ecdysone with a natural compound called azadirachtin affects the bug's immune response and its relationship with gut bacteria.
- Results showed that azadirachtin reduced certain immune factors early on but later increased other immune responses, indicating ecdysone's important role in regulating immunity within the insect's gut.
Objective: This study compared lateral radiographs of the nasopharynx (LN) and lateral cephalometric radiographs (LC) used to assess nasopharyngeal airway space in children.
Material And Methods: One examiner measured the nasopharyngeal space of 15 oral breathing patients aged between 5 and 11 years old by using LN and LC. Both assessments were made twice with a 15-day interval in between.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the dentoskeletal changes of patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion treated with either the Jasper jumper appliance or the activator-headgear combination, both associated with fixed appliances.
Methods: The sample comprised 72 subjects with Class II Division 1 malocclusion divided into 3 groups: group 1 included 25 subjects treated with fixed appliances and the force modules of the Jasper jumper at an initial mean age of 12.72 years, group 2 included 25 subjects treated with the activator-headgear combination followed by fixed appliances at an initial mean age of 11.
