The estimated prevalence for Brazil is 18%, however, it is suggested that this number is higher due to underreporting and the presence of asymptomatic cases. Therefore, new epidemiological studies are recommended throughout Brazil, to elucidate the profile of this disease in the country, in addition to assisting in the elaboration of an appropriate prevention plan by state.
Data found in the literature regarding the epidemiological profile of VVC in Brazil are obsolete and incomplete, so the present systematic review has the proposal to analyze and identify the evidence on VVC prevalence in Brazil. The estimated prevalence is 18%, however, this number can be higher.

Target-site resistance is one of the major mechanisms explaining pest resistance to pyrethroids. This study quantified pyrethroid resistance and fitness cost conferred by the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) M918L mutation in Rhopalosiphum padi. Six s-kdr-SS and six s-kdr-RS parthenogenetic lineages were established from the same field population and were reared in the laboratory without exposure to pesticides for more than one year. Enzyme activity analysis demonstrated that metabolic resistance had no impact on these lineages. Bioassays showed that the M918L mutation strongly affected pyrethroid efficiency, conferring moderate resistance to bifenthrin (type I) (39.0-fold) and high resistance to lambda-cyhalothrin (type II) (194.7-fold). Compared with the life table of s-kdr-SS lineages, s-kdr-RS lineages exhibited a relative fitness cost with significant decreases in longevity and fecundity. Meanwhile, competitive fitness was measured by blending various ratios of s-kdr-SS and s-kdr-SS aphids. The results indicated that M918L-mediated resistance showed a significant fitness cost in the presence of wild aphids without insecticide pressure. The fitness cost strongly correlated with the initial resistance allele frequency. This work characterized the novel s-kdr M918L mutation in R. CFTR modulator padi, defined its function in resistance to different types of pyrethroids, and documented that the M918L-mediated resistance has a significant fitness cost.
The proliferation of social media in Plastic Surgery has posed significant difficulties for the public in determining legitimacy of information. In this work, we propose a system based on social network analysis (SNA) to assess the legitimacy of contributors of information within a Plastic Surgery community using academic Plastic Surgery and one social media outlet as a model.

The aim of this study was to quantify the centrality of individual or group accounts on Plastic Surgery social media.

To develop the model, we chose one high-fidelity, active, and legitimate source account in academic Plastic Surgery (@psrc1955, the Plastic Surgery Research Council) on one social media outlet (Instagram, Facebook, Menlo Park, CA, USA). We then recorded all follower-following relationships between accounts and used Gephi (https//gephi.org/) to compute five different centrality metrics for each contributor within the network.

We identified 64,737 unique users and 116,439 unique follower-followed relationships within the academic Plastic Surgery community. Among the metrics assessed, the in-degree centrality metric is the gold standard for SNA, hence we designated this metric as the Centrality Factor (CF). Stratification of 1000 accounts by CF demonstrated that all of the top 40 accounts were affiliated with a Plastic Surgery residency program, a board-certified academic plastic surgeon, a professional society, or a peer-reviewed journal. None of the accounts in the top decile belonged to a non-plastic surgeon or non-physician, however, this increased significantly beyond the 50 th percentile.

This study took a data-driven approach to identifying and vetting a core group of interconnected accounts within one Plastic Surgery sub-community for the purposes of determining legitimate sources of information.

Human amniotic membrane contains growth factors and cytokines, which promote epithelial cell migration and proliferation, stimulate metabolic processes leading to collagen synthesis, and attract fibroblasts, while also reducing pain and inflammation. Randomized studies have shown that micronized dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane (mdHACM) allograft injection is an effective treatment for plantar fasciitis. Our objective is to present our experience with using mdHACM injection as a treatment for Achilles tendinopathy and report short term treatment outcomes.

Included in this retrospective case series were patients diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy treated with mdHACM by a single physician were identified from an electronic medical record system. Included for analysis were those with at least 2 follow up visits within 45 days of mdHACM injection. Outcomes examined included change in reported level of pain during the 45-day observation period and adverse events associated with treatment.

Residential segregation is one of the fundamental features of health disparities in the United States. Yet little research has examined how living in segregated metropolitan areas is related to cognitive function and cognitive decline with age. We examined the association between segregation at the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) level and trajectories of age-related cognitive function.

Using data from Black and White older adults in the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study (n=18,913), we employed linear growth curve models to examine how living in racially segregated MSAs at baseline, measured by the degree of Non-Hispanic Black [NHB] isolation and NHB dissimilarity, was associated with trajectories of age-related cognitive function and how the associations varied by race and education.

Living in MSAs with greater levels of isolation was associated with lower cognitive function (b=-0.093, p<0.05) but was not associated with rates of change in cognitive decline with age.
