Aims: Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C) is a condition noted in some children asymptomatic but positive to Sars‐cov‐2 antibody and it presents clinical and laboratory changes similar to Kawasaki disease (KD). Oral changes have also been observed. This systematic review evaluated oral manifestations detected in children with MIS‐C and KD associated to COVID‐19.Methods and Results: This work was registered at PROSPERO (#CRD42020225909), following PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive research was conducted in MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, LILACS, Scopus, and Grey Literature through August 2021, based on original research evaluating children diagnosed with MIS‐C or KD related to COVID‐19. Two authors independently screened all retrieved references. Twenty five selected studies evaluated 624 children, mean age 8.78 years. The assessment of the risk of bias (ROB) showed that most of them presented low ROB. Oral manifestations were erythematous mucous membrane, oral ulcers lesions, dry, swollen and cracked lips, and strawberry tongue.Conclusion: MIS‐C and KD share the same oral manifestations and their identification may lead to an early diagnosis.

Cancer is a chronic disease responsible for millions of deaths annually. Its multifaceted profile, with diverse types and anatomical locations, complicates treatment, often limited to surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. These treatments are frequently associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and recurrence, highlighting the urgent need for new, less invasive therapies. Recent studies suggest that blue light (BL; 450–470 nm) may offer anti‐tumor and pro‐apoptotic effects, making it a promising alternative for cancer treatment. However, its cellular and molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This qualitative systematic review, conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, analyzed 37 in vitro and in vivo studies published between 2002 and 2024, retrieved from databases including MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and LILACS, with a focus on the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) with blue light (450–470 nm) in pre‐clinical cancer models. BL demonstrated anti‐tumor potential by reducing cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion, as well as increasing ROS production and inducing apoptosis. In animal models, BL also inhibited tumor growth, metastasis, and improved survival. Despite the encouraging findings, considerable methodological heterogeneity and insufficient reporting of dosimetric parameters compromise the reproducibility and comparability of results across studies. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of BL in oncology and highlight the need for standardized protocols to support clinical translation.
