Authors: Shi Chaoyang , Zou Waner , Wang Yafei , Zhu Zhewen , Chen Tengda , Zhang Yunfei , Wang Ni
Published: February 2025

Accurate travel time prediction is essential for improving urban mobility, traffic management, and ride-hailing services. Traditional link- and path-based models face limitations due to data sparsity, segmentation errors, and computational inefficiencies. This study introduces an origin–destination (OD)-based travel time prediction framework leveraging high-resolution ride-hailing trajectory data. Unlike previous works, our approach systematically integrates spatiotemporal, quantified weather metrics and driver behavior clustering to enhance predictive accuracy. The proposed model employs a Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), which dynamically adjusts hyperparameters to improve generalization and mitigate overfitting. Empirical validation using ride-hailing data from Xi’an, China, demonstrates superior predictive performance, particularly for medium-range trips, achieving an RMSE of 202.89 s and a MAPE of 16.52%. Comprehensive ablation studies highlight the incremental benefits of incorporating spatiotemporal, weather, and behavioral features, showcasing their contributions to reducing prediction errors. While the model excels in moderate-speed scenarios, it exhibits limitations in short trips and low-speed cases due to data imbalance. Future research will enhance model robustness through data augmentation, real-time traffic integration, and scenario-specific adaptations. This study provides a scalable and adaptable travel time prediction framework, offering valuable insights for urban traffic management, dynamic route optimization, and sustainable mobility solutions within ITS.

Authors: Jin Guangyao , Zhao Wanwei , Zhang Jianing , Liang Wenyu , Chen Mingyang , Xu Rui
Published: February 2025

Lithium-ion batteries that use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as the cathode material and carbon (graphite or MCMB) as the anode have gained significant attention due to their cost-effectiveness, low environmental impact, and strong safety profile. These advantages make them suitable for a wide range of applications including electric vehicles, stationary energy storage, and backup power systems. However, their adoption is hindered by a critical challenge: capacity degradation at elevated temperatures. This review systematically summarizes the corresponding modification strategies including surface modification of the anode and cathode as well as modification of the electrolyte, separator, binder, and collector. We further discuss the control of the charge state, early warning prevention, control of thermal runaway, and the rational application of ML and DFT to enhance the LFP/C high temperature cycling stability. Finally, in light of the current research challenges, promising research directions are presented, aiming at enhancing their performance and stability in such harsh thermal environments.
Fuzzy Reasoning Symmetric Quintuple-Implication Method for Mixed Information and Its Application
Authors: Yao Ning , Chen Hao , Zhao Ruirui , Luo Minxia
Published: February 2025

Rule-based reasoning with different kinds of uncertain information has been identified in numerous applications within the real world. Any reasoning method must be able to coherently obtain the inference result by composing the given if–then rule with the assertion of the given input. The symmetric quintuple-implication principle was established by introducing symmetry into the five implication operators included. For example, the first, third and fifth implication operators exhibit symmetric properties, i.e., the three implication operators are taken as the same kind of operator and the second and fourth implication operators satisfy symmetry, that is, the two implication operators take the same kind of operator. So, the reasoning method induced by this principle possesses significant advantages in terms of its logical foundation and reductivity. This paper derives and studies reasoning methods for the mixture of fuzzy information and intuitionistic fuzzy information based on the symmetric quintuple-implication principle where all five implication operators satisfy symmetry (also called the quintuple-implication principle). Such reasoning methods are based on the ideas that the input and the given if–then rule can be combined for calculation only when their information representations exhibit consistency. An inconsistent given if–then rule with two different representations should be regarded as the composition of two different consistent given if–then rules with their own unique representations. This paper then elaborates on the methods by employing the possibility and necessity operators and the quintuple-implication principle from the perspective of whether the representation of rule antecedent and rule consequent is consistent or not. The reductivity of all the proposed reasoning methods is also analyzed in detail. This paper mainly contributes to the development of a novel mixed information reasoning framework, along with the introduction of the quintuple-implication principle into reasoning with mixed information. The proposed methods have also been applied to pattern recognition, and several experiments demonstrate that the mixed information reasoning methods based on the quintuple-implication principle are superior to the corresponding methods based on the triple I principle.

Published: February 2025

The stable rotation of young pulsars is often interrupted by two non-deterministic phenomena: glitches and red timing noise, glitches, and red timing noise. Timing noise provides insights into plasma and nuclear physics under extreme conditions. The framework leverages rotational symmetry in pulsar spin-down models and temporal symmetry in noise processes to achieve computational efficiency, aligning with the journal’s focus on symmetry principles in physical systems. In this paper, we apply a novel frequentist framework developed within the PINT software package (v0.9.8) to analyze single-pulsar noise processes. Using 17.5 years of pulse time-of-arrival (TOA) data for the young pulsar PSR J1741−3016, observed with the Nanshan 26 m radio telescope, we investigate its timing properties. In this study, we employed the Downhill Weighted Least-Squares Fitter to estimate the pulsar’s spin parameters and position. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) was used for model parameter selection. The results obtained with PINT were compared to those from ENTERPRISE and TEMPONEST, two Bayesian-based frameworks. We demonstrate that PINT achieves comparable results with significantly reduced computational costs. Additionally, the adequacy of the noise model can be readily verified through visual inspection tools. Future research will utilize this framework to analyze timing noise across a large sample of young pulsars.

Authors: He Ruichen , Xing Wenlin , Chai Zhaojun , Zhang Xinming
Published: February 2025

Road freight e-commerce platforms, as a specialized form of e-commerce in the road transportation sector, face complex operational risks due to their unique service positioning and business models. This study employs a comprehensive methodology to examine the risk framework of these platforms. Through the development of three distinct questionnaires, 20 critical risk factors are identified, which were subsequently analyzed using a combination of Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) approaches. Furthermore, a systematic risk assessment is conducted by integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) methods. The research reveals that the 20 core risk factors affecting road freight e-commerce platforms exhibit a systematic and hierarchical structure, with clearly defined transmission pathways between different levels of risk factors. This investigation uncovers the internal interaction mechanisms among these risk factors. The study demonstrates that a thorough consideration of risk factor mechanisms, coupled with a systematic risk assessment, can significantly enhance the effectiveness and precision of risk control strategy formulation. This methodological approach not only provides a robust framework for understanding the complex risk landscape of online freight platforms but also offers practical insights for developing targeted risk mitigation strategies in this evolving sector.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to build, for the first time, a model that uses a machine learning (ML) approach to predict long-term retrospective PM2.5 concentrations in upper northern Thailand, a region impacted by biomass burning and transboundary pollution. The dataset includes PM10 levels, fire hotspots, and critical meteorological data from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2020. ML techniques, namely multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), multiple linear regression (MLR), decision tree (DT), and random forests (RF), were used to construct the prediction models. The best ML prediction model was selected considering root mean square error (RMSE), mean prediction error (MPE), relative prediction error (RPE) (the lower, the better), and coefficient of determination (R2) (the bigger, the better). Our study found that the ML model-based RF technique using PM10, CO2, O3, fire hotspots, air pressure, rainfall, relative humidity, temperature, wind direction, and wind speed performs the best when predicting the concentration of PM2.5 with an RMSE of 6.82 µg/m3, MPE of 4.33 µg/m3, RPE of 22.50%, and R2 of 0.93. The RF prediction model of PM2.5 used in this research could support further studies of the long-term effects of PM2.5 concentration on human health and related issues.

Published: February 2025

Dieldrin is legacy organochlorine insecticide, which was listed in the Stockholm Convention because of its persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity. However, it is still present in the environment and in organisms two decades after its ban. The current criteria used for risk assessment in China are based on acute toxicity data in water columns without considering the bioavailability and bioaccumulation, which accordingly lead to the under-protection of aquatic organisms and wildlife. In this study, the water quality criteria (WQC) for dieldrin were derived from a combination of tissue-based toxicity data and the bioaccumulation factor (BAF) to better protect aquatic ecosystems. The dieldrin residue data in surface water in China were obtained by literature review and the ecological risk was assessed using the quotient method. Combined with a BAF of 58,884.37 L/kg estimated by the model, the WQC were calculated as needing to be 3.86 and 1.4 ng/L to protect aquatic life and aquatic-dependent wildlife, respectively. The results of the risk assessment revealed the potential high risk posed by dieldrin bioaccumulation. This study provides scientific guidance for the determination of the water quality standard for dieldrin and to ensure the risk management of the aquatic environment in China.
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Start in Pediatric Ages: Ultrafine Particulate Matter and Industrial Nanoparticles Are Key in the Early-Onset Neurodegeneration: Time to Invest in Preventive Medicine

Published: February 2025

Billions of people are exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels above the USEPA’s annual standard of 9 μg/m3. Common emission sources are anthropogenic, producing complex aerosolized toxins. Ultrafine particulate matter (UFPM) and industrial nanoparticles (NPs) have major detrimental effects on the brain, but the USA does not measure UFPM on a routine basis. This review focuses on the development and progression of common neurodegenerative diseases, as diagnosed through neuropathology, among young residents in Metropolitan Mexico City (MMC). MMC is one of the most polluted megacities in the world, with a population of 22 million residents, many of whom are unaware of the brain effects caused by their polluted atmosphere. Fatal neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) that begin in childhood in populations living in air polluted environments are preventable. We conclude that UFPM/NPs are capable of disrupting neural homeostasis and give rise to relentless neurodegenerative processes throughout the entire life of the highly exposed population in MMC. The paradigm of reaching old age to have neurodegeneration is no longer supported. Neurodegenerative changes start early in pediatric ages and are irreversible. It is time to invest in preventive medicine.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and are typically treated empirically, based on local antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data, which are often scarce in low- and middle-income countries. This study examines the AMR patterns of pathogens causing community-onset (CO) UTIs in the Bolivian Chaco. Urine samples were collected from subjects with suspected CO-UTIs and analyzed by culture techniques. Significant isolates were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility. Additionally, blaCTX-M and mcr genes were searched for using real-time PCR. A total of 361 CO-UTI episodes were diagnosed among 731 subjects from February 2020 to November 2021. The cases included uncomplicated and complicated UTIs (58.2% and 41.8%, respectively), with females accounting for the majority (85.3%) of cases. Escherichia coli was the most prevalent pathogen (86.6%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.4%) and Proteus spp. (2.2%). Very high resistance rates (>50%) were observed for ampicillin, trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole and fluoroquinolones, high resistance rates (>20%) for amoxicillin–clavulanate, third-generation cephalosporins and gentamicin, while lower resistance rates (<10%) were observed for nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin. The prevalence of blaCTX-M among E. coli was high (26.7%). Colistin resistance was detected in 3.4% of E. coli, mostly associated with mcr genes. CO-UTIs from this area were characterized by high resistance rates to commonly used antibiotics (trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole, amoxicillin–clavulanic acid and ciprofloxacin), highlighting the importance of knowledge of the local epidemiology to inform the selection of appropriate empirical antibiotic regimens.

Published: February 2025

Syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are highly prevalent in most regions experiencing severe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemics. In sub-Saharan Africa, the region most heavily affected by HIV, the prevalence of syphilis among people living with HIV (PLWH) is notably high. This region accounts for 40% of global STIs and 70% of HIV cases. Despite the high prevalence of syphilis and other STIs among PLWH in the region, there are limited studies on the interplay between the two infections from the region. Most studies on the association between syphilis and HIV transmission/progression from the region are limited to specific groups of people, such as female sex workers or pregnant women. In this manuscript, we evaluated the association between the two infections using population-based surveys conducted in the region. Statistical methods (such as logistic regression models and propensity score matching) were employed to assess the interplay between the two infections. Our findings indicated that syphilis infection was associated with higher odds of HIV acquisition. Moreover, co-infection with syphilis was associated with higher odds of HIV disease progression among antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated PLWH, though the association did not reach statistical significance. Our findings suggest that the recognition and treatment of syphilis to reduce the risk of HIV acquisition/progression should be a public health priority in sub-Saharan Africa, where ART may not be readily available.
Simultaneous Packaging of Two Different RNA Segments into an Influenza C Virus-like Particle Occurs Inefficiently
Authors: Muraki Yasushi
Published: February 2025

Reverse genetics systems for influenza C virus encounter challenges due to the inefficient production of infectious virus particles. In the present study, we explored the underlying cause by assessing the efficiency of generating influenza C virus-like particles (C-VLPs) containing specific virus RNA (vRNA) segments. Using 293T cells transfected with plasmids encoding GFP- and DsRed2-vRNAs (each flanked by the non-coding regions of Segments 5 and 6, respectively), along with plasmids expressing virus proteins, we observed that C-VLPs containing a single vRNA segment were generated efficiently. However, the simultaneous packaging of two vRNA segments into a single C-VLP was less frequent, as demonstrated by flow cytometry and reverse-transcription PCR analyses. Statistical evaluations revealed a decreased efficiency of incorporating multiple vRNA segments into single particles, which likely contributes to the reduced production of infectious virus particles in reverse genetics systems. These findings highlight a critical limitation in the vRNA incorporation mechanism of influenza C virus, contrasting with that of influenza A virus. Hence, further studies are required to elucidate specific vRNA packaging signals and optimize vRNA expression levels to improve the production of infectious influenza C virus particles.

Published: February 2025

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) caused by Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is highly infectious and can lead to serious neurological complications. This study proposed to evaluate the seroprevalence of EV71 in children of two states of western India by estimating neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) to EV71 genotypes D, G, and C isolated in India, using micro-neutralization assay. Among the serum samples of 612 children tested, 213 (34.80%, 95% CI: 31.00–38.73) and 312 (51.00%, 95% CI: 47.00–55.00) were positive for nAbs to EV71 BrCr and indigenous genotype D, respectively, with a significant rise with age for genotype D. However, compared to other age groups, only 23.2% of children aged 1–5 years showed nAbs to EV71 genotype D with a considerably lower Geometric Mean Titer, indicating the susceptibility of this age group to EV71 infection. Our study confirms the circulation of EV71 in India with relatively high susceptibility of children up to 5 years to EV71 infections.

Published: February 2025

The application of oxidation processes, including advanced oxidation, in water treatment is one of the effective methods for eliminating risks associated with the presence of organic substances in water and those formed during chlorination. This article presents the impact of advanced oxidation in the UV + O3 process on the content and structure of organic substances present in three natural waters with different levels of total organic carbon (TOC). The process was carried out using low-pressure and medium-pressure lamps with an irradiation time of 40 min and ozone doses of 1.5 gO₃/m3 and 5 gO3/m3. Advanced oxidation, regardless of the type of lamp used or the ozone dose, had the greatest effect on the content of humic acids, which underwent both transformation and mineralization. The use of a low-pressure lamp resulted in an increase in the content of organic substances with the lowest molecular weight (<0.7 kDa), whereas the medium-pressure lamp led to an increase in substances with a molecular weight >1.3 kDa. Regardless of the ozone dose and the type of lamp used, the transformation of organic substances dominated over mineralization, whose efficiency reached a maximum of 44.9% and 38.4% for the low-pressure and medium-pressure lamps, respectively. The degree of organic substance transformation and the efficiency of their removal were directly proportional to the TOC content in the raw water. The use of a low-pressure UV lamp ensured higher process efficiency, which is also associated with lower energy costs.
U-SwinFusionNet: High Resolution Snow Cover Mapping on the Tibetan Plateau Based on FY-4A
Authors: Kan Xi , Liu Xu , Zhou Zhou , Wang Jing , Zhu Linglong , Gong Lei , Wang Jiangeng
Published: February 2025

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), one of China’s most snow-rich regions, has an extremely fragile ecosystem, with drought being the primary driver of ecological degradation. Given that the water resources in this region predominantly exist in the form of snow, high-spatiotemporal-resolution snow mapping is essential for understanding snow distribution and managing snow water resources effectively. However, although FY-4A/AGRI is capable of obtaining wide-area remote sensing data, only the first to third bands have a resolution of 1 km, which greatly limits its ability to produce high-resolution snow maps. This study proposes U-SwinFusionNet (USFNet), a deep learning-based snow cover retrieval algorithm that leverages the multi-scale advantages of FY-4A/AGRI remote sensing data in the shortwave infrared and visible bands. By integrating 1 km and 2 km resolution remote sensing imagery with auxiliary terrain information, USFNet effectively enhances snow cover mapping accuracy. The proposed model innovatively combines Swin Transformer and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to capture both global contextual information and local spatial details. Additionally, an Attention Feature Fusion Module (AFFM) is introduced to align and integrate features from different modalities through an efficient attention mechanism, while the Feature Complementation Module (FCM) facilitates interactions between the encoded and decoded features. As a result, USFNet produces snow cover maps with a spatial resolution of 1 km. Experimental comparisons with Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Random Forest (RF), U-Net, and ResNet-FSC demonstrate that USFNet exhibits superior robustness, enhanced snow cover continuity, and lower error rates. The model achieves a correlation coefficient of 0.9126 and an R2 of 0.7072. Compared to the MOD10A1 snow product, USFNet demonstrates an improved sensitivity to fragmented and low-snow-cover areas while ensuring more natural snow boundary transitions.

Published: February 2025

Total phosphorus (TP) dynamics between reservoirs and inflowing rivers critically affect eutrophication risks, but their multi-scale interactions remain insufficiently quantified. This study applied wavelet transform analysis to 8-year TP time series data from the Shanxi Reservoir and its inflowing rivers. Key findings include the following: (1) Morlet wavelet decomposition revealed dominant 8–16-month cycles for reservoir TP, contrasting with 4–8-month cycles in river TP; (2) wavelet coherence analysis identified a 90° phase lag (2–4 months delay) between reservoir and river TP at the 8–16-month scale; and (3) the time–frequency localization capability quantified rapid responses—reservoir TP reacted within 2 months to abrupt river TP increases, showing stronger intensity. Multi-resolution analysis further distinguished the driving mechanisms: interannual cycles (>12 months) governed reservoir TP variations, while seasonal cycles (<8 months) controlled river TP fluctuations. The study demonstrated wavelet analysis’ dual strengths: resolving scale-specific interactions through multi-scale decomposition and quantifying transient responses via phase coherence metrics. The 90° phase shift exposes hysteresis in TP transport, and the 2-month response threshold defines critical intervention timing. An adaptive monitoring framework is proposed as follows: ≤8-month sampling under stable conditions and 2-month intervals during TP surges, providing a time–frequency decision tool for precise reservoir water quality management.

Physical activity is recognized for its physical and mental health benefits, including reducing sedentary behavior and improving mood, anxiety, and self-esteem. Individuals with severe mental illness tend to be more sedentary, contributing to poorer health outcomes. Water aerobic exercise has shown promise in improving physical and mental health, but sex differences in response to such interventions remain underexplored. This study investigates the effects of a water aerobic exercise intervention on 74 individuals with severe mental illness, focusing on sex differences. Participants engaged in a 45–60 session, once a week for 6 months. Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention and included measures of clinical, functioning, quality of life, and sedentary behavior outcomes. Both men and women significantly reduced sedentary behavior. Men showed significant improvements in self-stigma, functioning, and general quality of life. In contrast, women demonstrated significant improvements in self-esteem. These findings suggest that water aerobic exercise may be effective in reducing sedentary behavior and improving mental health outcomes in individuals with severe mental illness. However, the benefits appear to differ by sex. These results underscore the importance of sex-tailored physical activity interventions in mental health care.

The article is devoted to theoretical and practical aspects of creating a
sustainable development program in the presence of financial risks in the enterprise.
Different concepts of scientists are analyzed in relation to the following terms: "risk",
"financial risk" and "sustainable development of the enterprise". The relevance of the
implementation of sustainable development programs by enterprises is determined,
and the implementation of sustainable development programs at enterprises allows to
gain additional advantages in management and to react quickly to changes in the
internal and external environment of the enterprise.
The indicators of the economic, social and environmental spheres of the
enterprise are considered, which allow us to assess the state of the organization in
terms of sustainability, and the calculation of the indicators indicated in the article
allows us to find the disparities in the management of sustainable development of
the enterprise and to see in which spheres, economic, social or environmental, is
more active work to achieve sustainability. The main components of sustainable
development of the enterprise and the impact of financial risks on it are
considered. The market of breakfast cereals in Ukraine is analyzed, it can be stated that today the market is at a fairly high level of demand, which allows the
company to operate successfully and the level of financial condition of the
researched enterprise PJSC "Lantmann Aksa".

Authors: Correa Kennedy Carlos Silva , Oliveira Arno Heeren de
Published: February 2025

Os materiais cintiladores são caracterizados pela intensidade do pulso de luz, espectro de energia, tempo de decaimento e atenuação da luz em seu interior. Podem ser compostos por plásticos, vidros ou cristais, sendo os cristais, geralmente higroscópicos, os que produzem maior emissão de fótons. Entre os cintiladores mais utilizados está o Iodeto de Lítio-6 ativado por Európio (LiI (Eu)), devido à sua alta sensibilidade para detecção de radiação gama e nêutrons. Esses sistemas de detecção se diferenciam dos densímetros convencionais por separarem o conjunto cintilador e fonte radioativa do módulo eletrônico de aquisição de dados, utilizando um guia de luz. O LiI (Eu) acoplado a um módulo digitalizador converte pulsos de luz em sinais elétricos para análise. Para detecção de radiação gama, utilizou-se uma fonte de Amerício-241 (59,7 keV), enquanto para nêutrons, uma fonte de 241Am-Be (3,5 MeV). O cristal possui alta eficiência na detecção de nêutrons térmicos (0,025 eV) devido à sua elevada seção de choque de absorção (941 barns), sendo os nêutrons detectados pela reação 6Li + n1 → 4He + 3H + 4,78 MeV. Além disso, um LED vermelho (648 nm) foi incorporado para calibração, permitindo a verificação da eficiência do módulo digitalizador ao simular pulsos cintiladores. Os testes com o LiI (Eu) ajustaram parâmetros de ganho e resposta temporal do módulo, garantindo precisão nas medições. A inclusão do LED provou ser uma ferramenta eficaz para otimizar o sistema, ampliando suas aplicações tecnológicas.

O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar como os conflitos interferem no modo de vida dos pescadores artesanais da comunidade do Bongue, em Ilha das Flores/SE. Como forma de alcançat tal objetivo, foi feito levantamento bibliográfico a partir dos buscadores “disputas territoriais”, “comunidades tradicionais e/ou quilombolas” e “saberes ambientais” elencadas no estudo nos bancos de dados da Scielo e Web of Science, além do buscador Google Acadêmico, visitas in loco, aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas e registros fotográficos. Foram identificados os principais problemas socioambientais relatados pela comunidade, sendo estes: assoreamento do Rio São Francisco e a aquicultura. Estes fatores interferem diretamente na atividade pesqueira, sendo esta a principal fonte de renda da comunidade, além de colocar em evidência os saberes ambientes dos pescadores. Conclui-se que haja maior controle sobre as políticas públicas relacionadas ao setor pesqueiro, à comercialização de produtos da sociobiodiversidade e maior aplicabilidade de políticas públicas relacionadas aos saberes ambientais dos pescadores artesanais que auxiliam na conservação dos ambientes naturais e na manutenção das práticas extrativistas.

Introduction: Wellens' syndrome is a rare manifestation of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), occurring in approximately 6% of cases. It is characterized by electrocardiographic (ECG) changes indicative of critical proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), associated with a high risk of death without early revascularization. Its manifestations include type A (25%), with biphasic T waves and a plus-minus pattern in leads V2-V3, and type B (75%), with inverted, symmetric, and peaked T waves in leads V2 and V3. Case report: A 57-year-old hypertensive and HIV-positive man presented with progressive chest pain for 10 days. The initial ECG revealed hybrid Wellens' syndrome (types A and B) with a plus-minus pattern and T-wave inversion in lead V3. Elevated troponin confirmed ACS. Coronary angiography identified critical LAD stenosis and moderate lesions in the right coronary artery (RCA). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed with drug-eluting stents in the LAD, while the RCA was managed clinically. Echocardiography showed an ejection fraction of 41% and hypokinesia in the anterior wall of the left ventricle. The patient was discharged after 24 hours with an outpatient plan for heart failure and coronary artery disease. Discussion: Wellens' syndrome is a critical presentation of ACS that requires early diagnosis and intervention. This case highlights the rare hybrid presentation of both types of the syndrome, potentially associated with metabolic and immunological changes related to HIV. Conclusion: Immediate intervention was crucial to ensure myocardial reperfusion, preventing complications and death, and significantly improving the patient’s prognosis.

A inflamação que acompanha a obesidade é resultante de processos como aumento da lipólise, estresse celular, excesso de ácidos graxos livres e de espécies reativas de oxigênio, hipóxia de adipócitos, apoptose, entre outros. As adipocinas e citocinas pró-inflamatórias presentes em pacientes obesos podem apresentar efeitos parácrinos, autócrinos e endócrinos, e afetar a função de outros tecidos. A exploração da dinâmica das adipocinas podem definir seu papel como marcadores prognósticos para doenças metabólicas e cardiovasculares. Diante do exposto, este estudo tem como objetivo revisar as principais adipocinas pro-inflamatórias e anti-inflamatórias liberadas pelo tecido adiposo e seu controle metabólico. Esta pesquisa consiste em uma revisão narrativa de literatura na base de dados MEDLINE/PubMed, considerando publicações entre janeiro de 2014 e dezembro de 2024. O tecido adiposo atua como órgão endócrino liberando adipocinas que realizam o controle metabólico do organismo humano. Compreender as ações das adipocinas e o modo como atuam no desenvolvimento de comorbidades como obesidade, DM2, CVD, síndrome metabólica, entre outras, é extremamente necessário para futuras aplicações terapêuticas e ampliação de biomarcadores, além de auxiliar na prevenção de doenças.

A gripe é uma enfermidade decorrente do vírus influenza que causa grande problemas de saúde pública, podendo ocasionar doenças graves e até a morte. Como medidas preventivas para minimizar os sintomas, pode-se usar os efeitos terapêuticos do alho. Pois, o alho contém alguns compostos bioativos, entre eles, aqueles constituídos por enxofre como, alicina, S-alilcisteína, dissulfeto de dialila e trissulfeto. Desse modo, esse trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a influência do alho sobre o sistema imunológico e como os seus compostos bioativos podem ajudar na resistência de doenças virais. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática através da pesquisa de artigos nas bases de dados Pubmed, BVS e Science Direct, utilizando os descritores: “Garlic immunity” “Garlic flu vírus” e “Garlic influenza Bioactive compound”. Logo, estudos demonstraram que a suplementação com 2,56 g de alho envelhecido por dia durante 90 dias aumenta a atividade de células imunológicas. Além disso, um grupo de pessoas que receberam uma dose diária de alho contendo 180 mg de alicina, tiveram a cura da gripe em menos dias. Portanto, conclui-se que a inclusão de alho na dieta ou como suplemento pode ser uma estratégia eficaz tanto para fortalecer o sistema imunológico, quanto para combater infecções respiratórias.

A demanda por um sorriso harmonioso e mais branco tem impulsionado a busca por tratamentos odontológicos estéticos, com destaque para o clareamento dental, amplamente utilizado para tratar o escurecimento dentário. O clareamento realizado em consultório destaca-se por sua eficácia e natureza minimamente invasiva, preservando a estrutura dentária enquanto melhora a estética. No entanto, a sensibilidade dentária é um efeito colateral comum, afetando muitos pacientes. Este estudo apresenta um relato de caso clínico, abordando o protocolo de clareamento em consultório e analisando a percepção e o conforto do paciente durante o tratamento. O paciente, apesar de apresentar saúde oral satisfatória, expressou insatisfação com a coloração dos dentes, sendo submetido a um protocolo de clareamento com peróxido de hidrogênio a 35%, realizado em duas sessões com intervalo de sete dias. Em cada sessão, aplicou-se o gel clareador na proporção de 3:1 (peróxido de hidrogênio e espessante), com reaplicações a cada 15 minutos, totalizando três aplicações. Observou-se alteração na coloração dos dentes de A3 para A1, conforme a escala VITAPAN® Classical. O paciente respondeu a dois questionários, acerca da satisfação estética do sorriso, antes e após o tratamento, e sobre a sensibilidade dentária, usando a escala Wong-Baker no início e fim de cada sessão. A sensibilidade foi relatada como “dor intensa” nas primeiras 12 horas, porém transitória. O procedimento demonstrou-se simples, minimamente invasivo, com resultados estéticos positivos e alta satisfação do paciente, corroborando a eficácia do clareamento dentário como alternativa estética eficiente e de baixa complexidade.

Introdução: Cerca de 20% da população mundial possui a vertigem como um sintoma frequente, no entanto a assistência dada a essa patologia enfrenta obstáculos como a falta de acesso a profissionais especializados. Por conta disso, foi criado um ambulatório específico para as patologias envolvendo essa queixa em uma cidade no interior do Rio Grande do Norte. Objetivo: Relatar a experiência de acadêmicos do curso de Medicina em ambulatório de vertigem na faculdade. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo do tipo relato de experiência por estudantes da Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte fundadores da Liga Acadêmica de Vertigem que apresenta ambulatório próprio, no município de Mossoró-RN, durante os meses de março a julho de 2024. Resultados: A vertigem é uma condição muito prevalente na sociedade, todavia, sofre com a falta de diagnóstico e manejo adequados. Logo, o ambulatório foi criado para preencher essa lacuna proporcionando aprendizado prático para os estudantes, uma vez que eram responsáveis pelo atendimento com auxílio do médico especialista. Conclusão: Dessa forma, os atendimentos disponibilizados pelo ambulatório da especialidade possibilitaram um cuidado especializado, bastante escasso até então para a comunidade, bem como uma ampliação do conhecimento dos acadêmicos sobre o assunto com abordagem prática e teórica.
