Due to the complexity involved in the healing process of full thickness burns, the literature looks for alternatives to optimize tissue reconstruction. The objective of this study was to explore the action of photobiomodulation therapy associated with MSCs in the healing process of third degree burns. A total of 96 male Wistar rats were used, distributed in four groups with 24 animals each: Control Group, Laser Group, Cell Therapy Group, and Laser Group and Cell Therapy. The burn was performed with aluminum plate (150 °C). We performed analysis of wound contraction, histology, immunohistochemistry, birefringence analysis, and immunoenzymatic assay to evaluate tissue quality. Our results demonstrate that the association of the techniques is able to accelerate the repair process, modulating the inflammatory process, presenting a cutaneous tissue with better quality. Thus, we conclude that the use of photobiomodulation therapy associated with cell therapy is a promising treatment in the repair of total thickness burns.

Background: Interventricular dyssynchrony derived from the classic non-physiological stimulation (n-PS) of the right ventricle (RV) is a known cause of left ventricular dysfunction (LVDys).
Methods: This was a prospective descriptive single-center study. We analyzed patients who develop LVDys with n-PS, and the results after upgrading to conduction system pacing (CSP).

Introduction: With reports of expanding epidemiology of blastomycosis across the United States, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and outcomes associated with blastomycosis in solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series of adult SOT and HCT recipients at a tertiary care medical center between January 1, 2005 and September 30, 2023. Cases were defined as culture-proven blastomycosis.

Objective(s): Some forms of breast cancer such as triple-negative phenotype, are serious challenge because of high metastatic cases, high mortality and resistance to conventional therapy motivated the search for alternative treatment approaches. Nanomaterials are promising candidates and suitable alternatives for improving tumor and cancer cell treatments.
Materials And Methods: Biosynthesis of ZnO NPs by help of Berberis integerrima fruit extract, has been done.

Injury to one cerebral hemisphere can result in paresis of the contralesional hand and subsequent preference of the ipsilesional hand in daily activities. However, forced use therapy in humans can improve function of the contralesional paretic hand and increase its use in daily activities, although the ipsilesional hand may remain preferred for fine motor activities. Studies in monkeys have shown that minimal forced use of the contralesional hand, which was the preferred hand prior to brain injury, can produce remarkable recovery of function.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) continues to present significant challenges, particularly in patients with proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite stable (pMMR/MSS) tumors. This narrative review aims to provide recent developments in immunotherapy for CRC treatment, focusing on its efficacy and challenges.
