Background and goal: This study describes the development and testing of a sustained delivery method for the immunomodulatory peptide P10 with the goal of lowering the peptide's in vivo degradation and the quantity needed to trigger an immunological response that protects against Para coccidioidomycosis. Methods of the experiment: To simulate the chronic form of Para coccidioidomycosis, BALB/c mice were infected with the yeast Paracoccidioides Brasiliense’s.

Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare and strikingly prominent phenomenon associated with recurrent urinary tract infection caused by bacteria with indoxyl phosphatase and sulfatase activity. Recognising this entity is important to avoid undue investigations, misdiagnosis and erroneous treatment. We report an interesting case of PUBS in a 76-year-old female patient who developed PUBS secondary to UTI caused by ESBL Proteus mirabilis. Also, to the best of our information this is the first case of PUBS reported from this region.

Statement of Problem: Multiple studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of aging on the mechanical properties of computerized-aided design and computerized-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-based zirconia; however, there is a scarcity of literature discussing the effect of aging on change in translucency and surface roughness for both Translucent zirconia and lithium disilicate. Aim of the study: To evaluate the surface roughness and translucency of zirconia and lithium disilicate veneers aged by artificial aging.

This study aimed to evaluate oral pathological processes and/or dental anomalies associated with unerupted permanent second molar in cone beam computed tomography images of adolescents and adults. This is a retrospective cross-sectional study in which unerupted second permanent molars were analyzed using tomographic images obtained from 16 brazilian patients. Thirteen of whom had second permanent molars with unilateral impaction and 3 bilaterally, totalling 19 tomographic images.

O Esse trabalho tem como principal objetivo a análise dos dados epidemiológicos acerca da tuberculose no Brasil, além disso, tem como objetivo secundário a demonstração destes dados de forma analítica. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico quantitativo, utilizando dados secundários. Com isso, pôde-se considerar que os fatores biopsicossociais têm impacto direto nos indicadores de tuberculose no país, sendo inversamente proporcional aos índices de desenvolvimento da população.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal a demonstração dos dados epidemiológicos acerca dos casos confirmados de infecção por HIV. Como objetivo secundário, há a proposta de auxiliar o entendimento acerca das políticas públicas de mitigação da transmissão. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo acerca dos casos de infecção pelo HIV, utilizando como referência o banco de dados do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil, o DATASUS, na plataforma TABNET.

Objectives: A Non-Dimensional Physiological Index (NDPI) is a dimensionless parameter that can help characterize an abnormal state associated with a particular physiological system.

Background: This study was conducted to compare Vitamin D Serum Levels in Patients with Oral Lichen Planus and Healthy Subjects. Material and methods: There were 20 subjectsincluded in the study, diagnosed with Oral Lichen Planus and 20 subjects without the condition. Vitamin D serum levels was measured in both Oral Lichen Planus subjects and healthy controls after collecting 5 mL of blood from each group and analysing it with a vitamin D total (25-hydroxy vitamin D) kit using the electrochemiluminescence technique. Patient consent form were taken and recorded.

Mother is a God and back bone of every family; if we are taking care in a good manner we will get a lot of benefits to our family as well as our society.

Postnatal period is the term for the period of six weeks. The postnatal period begins as soon as placenta is expelled and last for six weeks, when the uterus return back to non-pregnant state.

This is a case report highlighting the diagnostic complexity of pulmonary adenocarcinoma in a young, healthy, non-smoking patient. The study focuses on diagnostic hypotheses leading to the definitive diagnosis, addressing signs and symptoms, found in imaging exams such as chest radiography, computed tomography, and biopsy.
