A prática de automedicação consiste na utilização medicamentos sem prescrição ou acompanhamento qualquer profissional saúde para tratar seus sintomas atuais como medida profilática. Este hábito está presente no mundo inteiro, sendo adotada pelas mais variadas idades e áreas atuação, incluindo profissionais saúde. Durante a pandemia COVID-19, apresentou evidência devido euforia em relação ao SARS-CoV-2, feito o usa das medicações pela população mundial. Objetivo: estudo tem objetivo analisar...

Within the thymus, thymic epithelial cells (TECs) provide dedicated stroma microenvironments for T cell development. Because TEC functionality is sensitive to aging and cytoablative therapies, unraveling molecular elements that coordinate their thymopoietic role has fundamental clinical implications. Particularly, selection of CD4 depends on interactions between TCRs expressed precursors self-peptides:MHC II complexes presented by cortical TECs (cTECs). Although...

Within the thymus, thymic epithelial cells (TECs) create dedicated microenvironments for T cell development and selection. Considering that TECs are sensitive to distinct pathophysiological conditions, uncovering molecular elements coordinate their thymopoietic role has important fundamental clinical implications. Particularly, medullary (mTECs) play a crucial in central tolerance. Our previous studies, along with others, suggest mTECs depend on factors linked genome-protecting pathways, but...

Early-life gut dysbiosis has been associated with an increased risk of inflammatory, metabolic, and immune diseases later in life. Data on microbiota changes infants undergoing intestinal surgery requiring enterostomy are scarce. This prospective cohort study examined the effluent 29 who underwent due to congenital malformations gastrointestinal tract, necrotizing enterocolitis, or spontaneous perforation. Initial samples were collected immediately after final three weeks later. Gut...
