Patients with diabetic retinopathy exhibit reduced vessel density, which may suggest diabetic microangiopathy in the conjunctiva. Anterior segment OCTA may detect conjunctival microangiopathy in patients with visual axis opacifications, where retinal OCTA is not possible.

The findings of this…[Read more]

There are only a few reports in the literature about translocation of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) as a primary cause of sepsis in neonates, although CoNS are among a short list of “translocating” bacteria when present in abundance.

468 blood samples, 119 stool samples, and 8 catheter tips, from 311 neonates, were tested for…[Read more]

In vitro studies showed that when MeshimaMax was applied to mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells the phagocytosis of macrophages was significantly activated, which was evaluated by using living yeast cells as well as synthetic nanoparticles. A cytotoxicity assay showed the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was higher than 1 mg/mL and normal cells…[Read more]

Technological hazard assessments are extremely rare in Brazil, despite their importance for planning. Aquatic systems are of particular concern, since they are the endpoint of every process occurring in the watershed, including technological disasters. Thus, our goal is to map the technological hazard vulnerability in lagoon systems though a…[Read more]
