Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a primary treatment for prostate cancer (PCa) that effectively reduces androgen levels to suppress tumor progression. However, growing evidence suggests potential cognitive side effects, raising concerns about the long-term neurological consequences of this treatment. Objective: This scoping review aims to synthesize the existing evidence linking ADT to cognitiv...
Within the context of mathematics courses, this paper presents the development of an online/b-learning course on numerical series, designed to improve the articulation between theory and practice and promote autonomous work by students. Responding to the need for innovative multimedia learning materials, the course was structured in a modular way, inspired by the concept of microlearning as proposed by Badrul K...
Motor competence is an important component of children's physical development, influencing their participation in many physical activities and long-term health outcomes. Environmental affordances also influence motor behavior levels, especially in young children, but limited investigations still explore their specific impact on school-aged children in underrepresented regions. This cross-sectional investigation...
Background: Motor competence (MC) is closely linked to children’s physical activity (PA) levels, playing a critical role in their overall health and development. Purpose: This study explores the relationship between MC and PA among elementary school- aged children in northern Brazil. Study Sample: 261 children (52.11% boys and 47.89% girls) aged 5-14 (9.62 ± 2.70 years; 18.25 ± 3.92 Kg/m2). Data Collection: pub...
Introduction: Traditional treatments for apical compartment prolapse and multicompartment prolapse, such as open sacrocolpopexy, have been associated with concerns regarding sexual function. In recent years, laparoscopic or robotically assisted sacrocolpopexy has emerged as an alternative with potential benefits, including enhanced visualization, symptom relief, and comparable anatomical results. However, the i...
Introduction: Renal trauma accounts for about 1% to 5% of all trauma patients, the majority of which are due to blunt trauma. Based on the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) classification we can classify renal trauma into five grades of injury, which can help choosing the adequate treatment and anticipate the outcome. Management of renal trauma is evolving to a more conservative approach, av...
Fishing for deep-sea species occurs on continental slopes, ridges, and seamounts. Fishing operations using fishing gears that contact the bottom (e.g., trawls and bottom longlines) may have significant impacts on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs). VMEs refer to marine ecosystems with a population or community of sensitive taxa or habitats that are likely to experience substantial alteration from short-term to...
