Novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world. Individuals with immune dysregulation and/or on immunosuppressive therapy, such as rheumatic patients, are considered at greater risk for infections. However, the risks of patients with each subcategory of rheumatic diseases have not been reported. Here, we identified…[Read more]

We provide a prospective summary of what to expect and how to brace the possible immunological strategy to protect against COVID-19 infection. The review majorly explores an underline mechanism of how senescent cells trigger a hyperimmune inflammatory response and cause high mortality in aging people could serve as a potential aid to alleviate the…[Read more]

The study aims to investigate changes in the aqueous humor levels of 8 growth factors and inflammatory mediators after intravitreal ranibizumab injection (IRI) and the relationship between these substances and functional-morphological parameters in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).

We recruited 25 patients with DME who were…[Read more]

Objective.Error-related potentials (ErrPs) are spontaneous electroencephalogram signals related to the awareness of erroneous responses within brain domain. ErrPs-based correction mechanisms can be applied to motor imagery-brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) to prevent incorrect actions and ultimately improve the performance of the hybrid BCI. Many…[Read more]

83 ± 0.59) and during the pandemic (3.36 ± 0.66), data was statistically different. Comparing prior and in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, all variables and domains presented statistical differences (better before the pandemic period). Among Brazilian dietitians, the psychological health domain was the most affected. The Sars-Cov-2 pandemic n…[Read more]

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a significant role in human cells. Excessive ROS production damages important macromolecules such as nucleic acids and can initiate and develop the carcinogenesis process. Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and xanthine…[Read more]

Primary cerebral tumors rarely provoke sudden death. The incidence is often underestimated with reported frequencies in the range of 0.02 to 2.1% in medicolegal autopsy series. Furthermore, primary cerebral melanoma is an uncommon neoplasm. It represents approximately 1% of all melanoma cases and 0.07% of all brain tumors. This neoplasm is very…[Read more]

05). MT decreased significantly after tooth extraction on the extraction side but not on the nonextraction side. There was no significant difference between group 1 and group 2 regarding the reduction in mucosal thickness over time.

Severe periodontitis can cause MT in the maxillary sinus. The RRH was lower at the sites of extracted teeth.…[Read more]

Aim Traditional percutaneous cardiovascular interventions require close physical proximity between the patients and the healthcare team, posing occupational hazards that range from radiation exposure to interpersonal air contamination. Materials & methods Prospective single-arm pilot study (n = 10) to investigate robotic-assisted intervention as a…[Read more]
