Shoreline wave breaking strongly enhances the coastal sea spray aerosol population: Climate and air quality implications.

Sea spray aerosol (SSA) emission is a major source of atmospheric aerosols, influencing global climate and coastal air quality. Much of our knowledge about SSA derives from coastal observations near shorelines, but whether and when these observations accurately represent open oceans remain unclear. Here, we show that strong nearshore SSA production during high-wave periods greatly enhances downwind cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and aerosol mass concentrations.

Microbiological Quality and Presence of spp. in Broiler Carcasses with and Without Visible Gastrointestinal Contamination During Industrial Processing.

The industrial processing of broiler chickens has become increasingly automated to scale up meat production. However, certain procedures may cause rupture of the gastrointestinal tract, contaminating the products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the removal of visible contaminated broiler carcasses from the slaughter line based on their microbiological quality compared to non-contaminated ones.

Exploring Zirconia Adhesion: Pre and Postsintering Physical Surface Treatment, Chemical Treatment, and Cement Interactions.

Adhesion to zirconia remains a significant dental challenge. This study is aimed at assessing the bond strength of zirconia based on surface treatment with pre or postsintering sandblasting associated with different chemical treatments and resin cements. Zirconia blocks were divided into 12 experimental groups based on the surface treatment (presintering sandblasting or postsintering sandblasting/tribochemical abrasion treatment), chemical treatment (none, Single Bond Universal, or Signum Zirconia Bond), and choice of cement (Panavia F or RelyX™ U200).

Francisella salimarina infection in farmed cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus) in Brazil: A case report.

This study aimed to identify and characterize isolates of Francisella salimarina associated with an outbreak on a marine fish farm in Brazil and to analyse their genetic variability and antimicrobial susceptibility. In 2021, diseased cobias (Rachycentron canadum, n = 10) and dusky groupers (Epinephelus marginatus, n = 10) were sampled and subjected to bacteriological and pathological examinations. The isolates obtained were morphologically and biochemically characterized and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-ToF) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Occurrence of depression and assessment of functional capacity in patients with vascular diseases admitted to a Vascular Surgery Service.

Background: Vascular diseases are associated with significant sequelae and clinical repercussions for the lives of affected patients, which are more serious among the elderly. The consequences of vascular disease, such as limb loss, chronic pain, prolonged hospitalization, and polypharmacy, reduce these patients' autonomy and independence, influencing their wellbeing and quality of life.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of depression and assess functional capacity in patients with vascular diseases admitted to a Vascular Surgery Service.

A propensity score-matched retrospective cohort study of hysterectomies for benign disease during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate how the pandemic might have affected the number of elective and urgent hysterectomies for benign gynecological pathologies in a single-care tertiary center in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and to identify if there were any changes in the need for blood transfusions.

Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study. It involved all non-puerperal and non-oncological hysterectomies from October 2018 to July 2021.

Impact of ICU bed availability on ovarian cancer surgical hospitalization rates during the first wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, which began in 2020, disrupted healthcare services. Reports of changes in surgical activities coincide with the outbreak period. We aimed to identify if changes could be determined in hospitalization rates of ovarian cancer patients from 2016 to 2020, comparing pre-pandemic and pandemic levels.

Comparative polyphasic characterization of Weissella strains isolated from beaked whale and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): confirmation of Weissella ceti sp. nov. and description of the novel Weissella tructae sp. nov. isolated from farmed rainbow trout.

The weissellosis agent bacterium (WS08 = CBMAI 2730) was isolated from diseased rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Brazil. The whole genome sequence of this strain was compared with the Mexican W-1 strain, also isolated from diseased rainbow trout, and with the Weissella ceti type strain CECT 7719 (= 1119-1A-09 = CCUG 59653), recovered from the beaked whale. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization pairwise analyses scored 98.

10-year opportunistic mammographic screening scenario in Brazil and its impact on breast cancer early detection: a nationwide population-based study.

Background: Mammographic screening has been used to reduce breast cancer mortality worldwide and remains the main modality for the early detection of this disease. Women from low- and middle-income countries still lack access to periodic mammograms and efficient health care. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore opportunistic mammographic coverage in Brazil, while considering the privately insured population and its association with early breast cancer (EBC) detection.

Epidemiology of COVID-19 in the State of Sergipe/Brazil and Its Relationship with Social Indicators.

A pandemic is capable of generating a great impact, not only from the point of view of health, but also socioeconomically. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that a new pandemic situation had arisen, due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, whose probable origin was zoonotic. The largest number of cases of this disease is concentrated in the United States of America (USA), India, and Brazil.

Epidemiological Analyses Reveal a High Incidence of Breast Cancer in Young Women in Brazil.

Purpose: Breast cancer screening is not recommended for young women (< 40 years old); therefore, those diagnosed are more likely to have advanced and metastatic disease, reducing treatment outcomes. This study aimed to investigate breast cancer epidemiology among young women in Brazil.

Methods: Data from three publicly available databases and a cohort from a university hospital in Brazil were analyzed in a retrospective study.
