Background: Inselbergs are granitic and/or gneissic rocky outcrops and, in Brazil, the dome-shaped ones in the Atlantic Forest Domain are called sugarloaves (). They have an extremely specialised vegetation with high levels of endemism. Even though, they are poorly studied and highly degraded. In north-eastern Espírito Santo State, south-eastern Brazil, the (MONAPC) is a federal protected area created to guard some inselbergs mainly threatened by mining, which is one of the main economic activities in the State. In this work, we provide the first checklist of the vascular plant species in this protected area.

New Information: We recorded 108 species in 36 families and 75 genera that inhabit the vegetation islands on the inselbergs within the official limits of MONAPC. A new species of (Melastomataceae) and a new species of (Asteraceae) were discovered as new to science and they are being described in other articles.

Introduction: Graphene, a two-dimensional arrangement of carbon atoms, has drawn significant interest in medical research due to its unique properties. In the context of bone regeneration, graphene has shown several promising applications. Its robust structure, electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility make it an ideal candidate for enhancing bone tissue regeneration and repair processes.

Background: Current management of patients with borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (BR-PDAC) depends on the degree of involvement of the major arterial and venous structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate 3D segmentation and printing to predict tumor size and vascular involvement of BR-PDAC to improve pre-operative planning of vascular resection and better select patients for neoadjuvant therapy.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 16 patients with BR-PDAC near vascular structures who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with or without vascular resection between 2015 and 2021.

This systematic review reports on treatments for onychomycosis in patients with diabetes and the drug interactions with other drugs in regard to the complicated diabetic patient profile. The recommendations in the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) checklist were applied and the included studies were evaluated using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement and the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement. Searches were conducted in November 2023, using the PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases; studies on antifungal treatments for onychomycosis in patients with diabetes were included.

Aims: The number of orthotopic lung transplants (OLT) has skyrocketed since the 1960s, generating an ever-increasing cohort of post-OLT patients. Many challenges exist in the post-OLT timeframe, including donor graft dysfunction, infection, malignancy, and immunosuppression-related conditions. A rather elusive topic in the posttransplant setting remains the impact of the underlying disease process and donor lungs on other organ systems and the complications arising from the complex physiologic interactions.
