The advent of next-generation sequencing has revolutionized genetic testing by enabling cost-effective, high-throughput analysis. It is imperative for cardiovascular physicians to mainstream genetic testing into their clinical decision-making. Alth...
In this paper, the effects of the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in higher education (HE) are discussed. A mixed exploratory research approach was employed to understand these impacts, combining analysis of current research trends and students’ perceptions of the effects of Gen AI tools in academia. Through bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review, 64 publications ...
A síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) é uma polirradiculoneuropatia imunomediada com diversas formas de apresentação, sendo a mais frequente a sensitivo-motora. A síndrome de Miller Fisher (SMF) é uma variante rara da SGB que se caracteriza por oftalmoplegia, diminuição dos reflexos osteotendinosos e ataxia. Descrevemos o caso clínico de um jovem de 25 anos com quadro subagudo de visão dupla, dificuldade em articu...
The involvement of immunity in psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, is typified by the morphologic adaptation of microglia, immune cells of the brain, to anxiogenic stimuli. We previously reported sexually differentiated microglia morphology in adult rodents, in brain locations implicated in anxiety, including the pre-frontal cortex. These physiologic differences likely drive sex-dependent patterns of microg...
Background: In a society increasingly committed to promoting an active life in the community, new resources are needed to respond to the needs of citizens with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The potential of several individual cognitive interventions to be provided by caregivers has been explored in the literature. Objective: To synthesize the best available evidence on the effectiveness of ca...
The COVID-19 pandemic led to national lockdown measures, implying individuals’ household confinement, constraining active contact with outdoor nature, with potential associated mental health consequences. Hence, this cross-sectional correlational design study with 310 participants examined the relationship between self-reported measures of variety and intensity of indoor/outdoor activities involving contact wit...
