    Abstract Craniopharyngiomas are tumors originating from the infundibular stalk, extending to the parasellar and suprasellar region, thereby conferring multiple risks of this region. In particular, hypothalamic and pituitary damage related to its natural history as well as treatment effects of craniopharyngiomas substantially affect life expectancy and quality of life. Here, we describe an adult patient presenting with polyuria, memory, and visual field impairment secondary to concurrent craniopharyngioma and intraventricular glioma. He was treated with surgical resection with postoperative course notable for hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, including central hypothyroidism, central adrenal insufficiency, arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D, formerly diabetes insipidus) with loss of sense of thirst, and hypothalamic hypothermia. The adipsia, combined with memory dysfunction, challenged the management of constant fluctuations in his sodium (129-168 mEq/L), with ultimate treatment through vasopressin repletion, fixed fluid intake, strict urine output monitoring, and close counseling of the patient and his caregiver. This case exemplifies the complexity of the endocrine care of patients with craniopharyngiomas and highlights the need for step-wise algorithms in the treatment of hypothalamic deficiencies such as adipsia.

    Abstract Puberty marks the end of childhood and is a period when individuals undergo physiological and psychological changes to achieve sexual maturation and fertility. The onset of puberty is first detected as an increase in pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Pubertal onset is regulated by genetic, nutritional, environmental, and socio-economic factors. Disturbances affecting pubertal timing result in adverse health conditions later in life. Human genetic studies show that around 50-80% of the variation in pubertal onset is genetically determined. The genetic control of pubertal timing has been a field of active investigation in attempt to better understand the neuroendocrine control of this relevant period of life. Large populational studies and patient cohort-based studies have provided insights into the genetic regulation of pubertal onset. In this review, we discuss these discoveries and discuss potential mechanisms for how implicated genes may affect pubertal timing.

    Abstract Resumo A vacinação é um componente essencial da atenção primária à saúde e do enfrentamento de emergências em saúde. No entanto, apesar do progresso ocorrido nas últimas décadas, persistem importantes barreiras que resultam na queda de coberturas e disparidades entre os países no acesso a novas vacinas. Neste cenário, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) lançou, em 2020, a Agenda de Imunização para o decênio 2021-2030 (AI2030). Este artigo tem o objetivo de debater os principais fatores que afetam o acesso às vacinas e as estratégias para promoção da equidade no acesso a elas a nível global e nacional. Tais fatores são multisetoriais e precisam ser considerados em ambos os níveis, destacando-se as barreiras financeiras e geográficas, os desafios de infraestrutura, fatores socioeconômicos e culturais, políticas públicas e governança. O texto aponta a necessidade de remodelação da arquitetura global das cadeias produtivas e dos centros de pesquisa e inovação, criando e/ou fortalecendo as existentes em países de baixa e média renda. Além disso, é necessário estabelecer novos mecanismos e modelos de produção e comercialização de vacinas. As estratégias adotadas para acesso a vacinas e outras tecnologias em saúde estão no centro do debate da agenda de saúde global.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for a respiratory disease called COVID-19 that devastated global public health. Since 2020, there has been an intense effort by the scientific community to develop safe and effective prophylactic and therapeutic agents against this disease. In this context, peptides have emerged as an alternative for inhibiting the causative agent. However, designing peptides that bind efficiently is still an open challenge. Here, we show an algorithm for peptide engineering. Our strategy consists of starting with a peptide whose structure is similar to the interaction region of the human ACE2 protein with the SPIKE protein, which is important for SARS-COV-2 infection. Our methodology is based on a genetic algorithm performing systematic steps of random mutation, protein-peptide docking (using the PyRosetta library) and selecting the best-optimized peptides based on the contacts made at the peptide-protein interface. We performed three case studies to evaluate the tool parameters and compared our results with proposals presented in the literature. Additionally, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (three systems, 200 ns each) to probe whether our suggested peptides could interact with the spike protein. Our results suggest that our methodology could be a good strategy for designing peptides.

    Abstract Bacillus clausii is a probiotic that benefits human health. Its key characteristics include the ability to form spores; the resulting tolerance to heat, acid, and salt ensures safe passage through the human gastrointestinal tract with no loss of cells. Although B. clausii has been widely used for many decades, the beneficial properties of other probiotics, such as Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp., are better disseminated in the literature. In this review, we summarize the physiological, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties of probiotic B. clausii strains. We also describe findings from studies that have investigated B. clausii probiotics from the perspective of quality and safety. We highlight innovative properties based on biochemical investigations of non-probiotic strains of B. clausii, revealing that B. clausii may have further health benefits in other therapeutic areas.

    Abstract The search for knowledge related to the Pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus [F.A.C. Weber] Britton & Rose, family Cactaceae) is commonly due to its beneficial health properties e aesthetic values. But process to obtain pitaya pulp is a first and important step in providing information for the subsequent use of this fruit as colorant, for example. Therefore, the effects of the pulping process on the metabolomic and chemometric profile of non-volatile compounds of pitaya were assessed for the first time.
