Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Integrative Computational and Experimental Approaches Reveal the Protective Role of Moderate Caffeine Intake Against Apical Periodontitis Induced Bone Loss

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 873-889, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate whether moderate systemic caffeine intake modulates the progression of apical periodontitis (AP) and associated alveolar bone loss, combining in vivo rat experiments with in silico molecular docking to explore potential mechanisms. Methodology Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 8 per group): control,

Short Review : Acai: An Ally For Human Health?

Nutrition and Food Processing, 2018
Nutrition is one of the oldest sciences that aims to study the interactions between food, nutrients and human health. This fact can be checked from the famous citation of Hippocrates, considered the father of the modern medicine “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. In the last decades several studies have attributed to foods the ability

Pesticide prioritization based on risk and model diet proposals for assessing cumulative exposure to pesticide residues in the Brazilian population through food consumption

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3853-3873, April 2026.
A risk classification of registered pesticides in Brazil was conducted, and the contribution of food to cumulative pesticide exposure was evaluated. Model diets were proposed, based on Brazilian consumption patterns. Abstract BACKGROUND Pesticide residue exposure assessments can be carried out during both the pre‐regulation and post‐regulation phases ...

The influence of the serum HMW-ADPN level on the change in the ACAI in renal allograft recipients.

, 2018
The annual change in the ACAI was divided into 4 quartiles (Q1, 0.413, n = 13). The annual changes in both the absolute [1A] and relative [1B] serum HMW-ADPN levels became smaller as abdominal aortic calcification (ACAI) progressed ...
