no Due to the increase in the population with special needs and the significant difficulty in their dental management, it is essential to analyze the caries prevalence in this group of patients. The systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA statement. A search was performed on 9 May 2022 and updated on 5 June 2022, in three databases: Pubmed, Scielo, and Cochrane library.

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 11170: The Effectiveness of Pharmacist Interventions in the Management of Patient with Renal Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: Thirty-three RCTs were included in the review, and the data from nineteen protocols were included in further quantitative analyses. A wide range of outcomes was considered, including those associated with progression of CKD, cardiovascular risk factors, patient adherence, quality of life, prescription of relevant medications, drug-related problems (DRPs), rate of hospitalizations, and death. The heterogeneity between studies was high. Despite low-to-moderate quality of evidence and relatively short follow-up, the findings suggest that multidimensional interventions, taken by pharmacists within multidisciplinary...

IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 1089: Racial Disparities and Preventive Measures to Renal Cell Carcinoma
B. Tchounwou Kidney cancer ranks among the top 10 cancers in the United States. Although it affects both male and female populations, it is more common in males. The prevalence rate of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which represents about 85% of kidney cancers, has been increasing gradually in many developed countries. Family history has been considered as one of the most relevant risk factors for kidney cancer, although most forms of an inherited predisposition for RCC only account for less than four percent. Lifestyle and other factors such as occupational exposure, high blood pressure, poor diet, and heavy cigarette s...
