We analyze the regression of survivability variance by cohort age in several generations of Drosophila melanogaster Canton-S stock. Three phases were detected. First and second was approximated by exponential equation and the third - by logistic dose-response curve. Parameters of the equations can be influenced by short (11 days) and long (22 days) action of low temperature (21 °C) or by long-term diet of cytophlavin preparation, containing succinic acid. We argue, that such approach can help to detect age-specific geroprotectors and better detect geroprotector impact mechanisms.

Introduction: Significant gains in advanced melanoma have been made through immunotherapy trials. Factors influencing equitable access and survival impact of these novel therapies are not well-defined.
Method: Retrospective analysis using National Cancer Database of patients with advanced stage III and IV melanoma from 2004 to 2021.

Despite maintaining a lower mortality rate and greater control of victims infected by COVID-19, the world's population and science are still confronted with this coronavirus. Therefore, the aim was to assess the association between sociodemographic factors and the level of knowledge and attitudes of dental students regarding disinfection as a control measure to reduce the spread of COVID-19. This cross-sectional study evaluated 503 dental students from the capital city and one Peruvian province between February and June 2022.

Background And Objective: It has been shown that androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPIs) treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) improves overall survival rates, but ARPIs appear to be associated with a higher frequency of treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-NEPC). Our aim was to quantify the proportion of prostate adenocarcinoma cases that transition to t-NEPC following ARPI therapy.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of the literature on t-NEPC using databases including MEDLINE and Scopus.

Aim: Previous studies have shown the important relationships between Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans in post-treatment endodontic disease (PTED). However, the fungal-bacterial interactions and their possible functional routes are less understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from C.
