    Abstract In recent years, teledentistry has gained visibility, especially because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerning oral medicine, there is great expectation, particularly about its potential to promote early diagnosis of oral lesions. In southern Brazil, two initiatives have shown a positive influence on each other and have led to greater awareness of oral cancer and more access to qualified advice on diagnosing and managing oral lesions. Although the contributions of this approach are promising, there are barriers to be overcome.

    Abstract Thermal and rheological properties of methylcellulose (MC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) hydrogels with chitosan (CHI) were investigated to verify the potential application of these blends as structured systems for oil transport (emulgel, oleogels, and bigels). FTIR confirmed hydrophobic interactions of cellulosic polymers with chitosan. In the temperature sweep, the thermosensitive hydrogels showed their reduced gel point compared to the original polymers. The gelation temperature was reduced from 66.9 °C for pure HPMC to 43.6 °C and 43.6 °C (MC pure polymer) to 39.3 °C when 30% CHI was added for both cases. The addition of 20 and 30% chitosan is enough to modify the extension of the gelation temperature of these polymers. These results indicate that the addition of chitosan enables MC and HPMC to form gels at lower temperatures, which could allow milder thermal conditions to be applied in processing oil carrier systems.

    Abstract This research evaluated the use of different polymer ratios, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and methylcellulose (MC) with chitosan (CHI), in the production of emulgel by emulsification. The concentration was fixed at 2 % (w/v) for all polymers. 60/40 sunflower oil-in-water emulgels were made with a cellulosic polymer:chitosan ratio of (80:20), (70:30), and (60:40), respectively. The objective was to study how different proportions of a cellulosic polymer combined with chitosan can affect the stability, microstructure, and rheology of the emulgels to be used as potential oil carrier systems. Droplet size and microscopy results show oil-in-water (O/W) emulgels, and their interface was stabilized by mixing polymeric pairs, HPMC:CHI or MC:CHI. In the thermal analysis, it was identified in the entire temperature range studied (5 to 85 °C) that both emulgels, HPMC:CHI and MC:CHI, were presented as gels (G' > G″). Thus, the addition of CHI to the systems modified their gelling behavior. Microscopy revealed that the emulsions at the 7th and 10th week of storage showed similar characteristics to the fresh emulsion. Therefore, these results indicate that the emulgels present good thermal resistance, the predominance of elastic behavior, and can retain high concentrations of oil in their structure (96 to 99 %).

    Abstract Background: Physical activity and sedentary behavior are treatable traits that may impact asthma control in distinct manners, but this impact remains poorly understood.
    Objective: To evaluate the influence of physical activity and sedentary behavior on clinical control in adults with moderate-to-severe asthma.
    Methods: This cross-sectional, multicentric study included 426 individuals with moderate-to-severe asthma. Assessments included physical activity and sedentary time (actigraphy), clinical asthma control (Asthma Control Questionnaire [ACQ]), quality of life (Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire), anxiety and depression symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), anthropometric data, and lung function. Participants were grouped according to physical activity levels and sedentary behavior.
    Results: Participants who walked ≥7500 steps/day presented better ACQ scores than those who walked <7500 steps/day (P < .05), independent of sedentary status. The percentage of patients with controlled asthma was higher in the active/sedentary (43.9%) and active/nonsedentary (43.8%) groups than in the inactive/sedentary (25.4%) and inactive/nonsedentary (23.9%) groups (P < .02). The likelihood of having uncontrolled asthma according to the treatable traits of physical inactivity (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.36 [1.55-3.59]), higher anxiety (2.26 [1.49-3.42]), and depression symptoms (1.95 [1.28-2.95]) was significant (P ≤ .002). Obesity and sedentary time were not associated with asthma control.
    Conclusions: Our results show that ≥7500 steps/day is associated with better asthma control independent of sedentary time in adults with moderate-to-severe asthma. Physical inactivity, anxiety, and depression symptoms are associated with higher odds of uncontrolled asthma. These results suggest that interventions should mainly focus on increasing physical activity rather than reducing sedentary time.

    Abstract Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a promising therapy in regenerative medicine. However, the lack of standardization in PRP preparation protocols presents a challenge in achieving reproducible and accurate results. This study aimed to optimize the PRP preparation protocol by investigating the impact of two different anticoagulants, sodium citrate (SC) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and resuspension media, plasma versus sodium chloride (NaCl). Platelet recovery rates were calculated and compared between groups, in addition to platelet activity and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) released into plasma after PRP activation. The platelet recovery rate was higher with EDTA in comparison to SC (51.04% vs. 29.85%,

    Abstract Reduced cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS) is an autonomic marker associated with a worse cardiovascular prognosis. Whether cBRS is lowered in people living with HIV (PLHIV) is yet unclear, as well as potential moderator effects of body mass index (BMI) or physical activity (PA) level.

    Abstract Primarily identified as an important regulator of cytoskeletal dynamics, the small GTPase Ras homolog gene family member A (RHOA) has been implicated in the transduction of signals regulating a broad range of cellular functions such as cell survival, migration, adhesion and proliferation. Deregulated activity of RHOA has been linked to the growth, progression and metastasis of various cancer types. Recent cancer genome-wide sequencing studies have unveiled both
