New records of ten species (total 109 specimens) of ptyctimous mites collected from a mountain forest in the Peruvian Andes are presented. Five of these species are new for science: Mesotritia andensis Niedbała sp. nov., Austrophthiracarus conchamarcensis Niedbała sp. nov., A. pachiteaensis Niedbała sp. nov., Notophthiracarus churubambensis Niedbała sp. nov. and N. quasipedanos Niedbała sp. nov. Acrotritia ischnos (Niedbała, 2004) is recorded for the first time from Peru; besides, a split into two groups of different body sizes is recorded for a population of Mesotritia curviseta (Hammer, 1961).

A state-of-the-art scaffold capable of efficiently reconstructing the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc after discectomy remains elusive. The major challenge has been to identify a degradable scaffold that remodels into TMJ disc-like tissue, and prevents increased joint pathology, among other significant complications. Tissue engineering research provides a foundation for promising approaches towards the creation of successful implants/scaffolds that aim to restore the disc.

This study aims to evaluate the post-surgical stability of patients with cleft lip and palate that underwent maxillary advancement surgery. The study was conducted by means of cephalometric analysis of the soft tissues in digital radiographs acquired preoperatively, immediate postoperatively and six months after surgery using Dolphin Imaging 11.5 software.

This review summarises empirical studies on the progressivity and redistributive effects of healthcare financing mechanisms. The evidence varies significantly across countries and financing sources. Tax-based systems exhibit high progressivity, as direct taxes contribute to a favourable redistribution toward low-income households, often offsetting the regressive nature of indirect taxes.
