The new genus Alatococcus (Sapindaceae) is described from Espirito Santo, Brazil. Alatococcus seems to be closely related to Scyphonychium of northeastern Brazil, as they both share similar vegetative morphology, flowers with zygomorphic calyx, fruits with indehiscent mericarps, and isopolar, tricolporate pollen grains. They however differ by the shape of the nectary disc, petal appendages, mericarps, and pollen shape and ornamentation. The new species Alatococcus siqueirae is described and illustrated.

Trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) are bacteriostatic agents, which are co-administered to patients during infection treatment due to their synergetic effects. Once consumed, TMP and SMX end up in wastewater and are directed to municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) which fail to remove these contaminants from municipal wastewater. The discharge of WWTP effluents containing antibiotics in the environment is a major concern for public health as it contributes to the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Purpose: One of the main causes of chronic wounds is diabetes mellitus (DM), a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. In this context, hydrogels have been used as a promising treatment for stimulating tissue ingrowth and healing in these injuries. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the findings of studies that investigated the effects of injectable hydrogels of various origins on skin wound healing using in vivo experimental models in diabetic rats.

Background And Aims: Previous studies have investigated the concordance between objective and subjective measures for assessing physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep duration separately. However, no studies have compared adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines using both objective and subjective measures in adolescents. The aim of this study was to compare adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines using both objective and subjective measures.
