Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the respiratory disease called COVID-19 and of the state of global health emergency. Currently, there is no specific treatment or sufficient scientific information to generate consensus or unique international guidelines on how to treat COVID-19. It is suggested that adapting the actions of evaluation, monitoring and treatment of patients with COVID-19, focused on the knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease and on the known risk factors, could improve the presentation of adverse outcomes in patients. In this work, a flow chart of care and treatment for the patient with COVID-19 during hospitalization is presented, focused on the identification of the stage of the disease, constant reassessment with emphasis on the early identification of poor prognosis factors and treatment proposals according to current guidelines.

Background: Dengue virus (DENV) infection, a mosquito-borne disease, presents a significant public health challenge globally, with diverse clinical manifestations. Although oral dengue manifestations are uncommon, they can serve as crucial diagnostic indicators and impact patient management in dental practice. This scoping review aims to map the evidence on the oral manifestations associated with DENV infection and their clinical implications for dental practice.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established treatment for selected patients with inborn errors of metabolism. In this first report from the PDWP-SBTMO, we included 105 patients transplanted between 1988 and 2021 across six Brazilian HSCT centers. The most prevalent diseases were X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (n = 61) and mucopolysaccharidosis (type I n = 20; type II n = 10), with a median age at HSCT of 8.

Sepsis is a critical, life-threatening condition that demands precise prediction to mitigate adverse outcomes. The heterogeneity of sepsis leads to variable prognoses, making early and accurate identification increasingly difficult. Despite ongoing advancements, no single gold standard has emerged for sepsis prediction.

Objectives: Antibacterial-resistant gram-negative hospital-acquired infections result in significant morbidity and mortality. In clinical trials, ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) has been effective against these infections; however, real-world findings are limited.
Methods: SPECTRA was a global, retrospective, observational inpatient study of adults treated with C/T for ≥48 hours, conducted between 2016 and 2020.

Aims: Vertebrates vary greatly in their abilities to regenerate injured hearts. Zebrafish possess a remarkable capacity for cardiac regeneration, making them an excellent model for regeneration research. Recent studies have reported the activation and underlying regulatory mechanisms of leptin b (lepb) and the leptin b-linked enhancer (LEN) in injured hearts.
