Theoretical and practical training appeared important to prepare health care professionals, clarify doubts and promote higher rates of use of contraceptive implants in Brazil, contributing to reduce the rates of unintended pregnancies.Background Aquaporin 4 (AQP4), usually expressed at astrocytes end-feet, is a main component of the…[Read more]

The largest number of incidents and near misses were reported in 2018 (n=39) which was also a year that experienced the largest number of departmental changes (n=16), including the move to a completely electronic planning process.

Changes within the department were followed by an increasing number of reported incidents. Proactive measures…[Read more]

Increasing AI values, indicating worsening arterial stiffness, were also observed. Similar trends were observed in HM II recipients between the 3

and 6

months, but with higher absolute values of RHI and AI.

We detected impaired vascular function in HM3 patients and provided additional evidence on the negative effect of low…[Read more]

Finally the simulation results demonstrate the high efficiency and strong robustness of our method.As a typical frequency-domain analysis method, quaternion discrete Fourier transform (QDFT) has been widely used in information hiding in color images. However, due to the sensitivity of QDFT to geometric attacks, existing QDFT-based information…[Read more]

Preterm delivery (PTD) may predict the risk of long-term maternal complications. Little is known about the association between preterm delivery and maternal risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD).This study aimed to explore whether a history of preterm deliveryis associated with the risk of maternal CKD.

In this population-based cohort study…[Read more]

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease affecting upper and lower motor neurons. We generated patient-derived-induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), from an ALS patient affected by an early-onset and aggressive form of the disease, carrying a missense pathogenic variant in FUS gene. We reprogrammed somatic…[Read more]

ecological function of the phage community all evolve alongside the bacterial community to adapt to extreme habitats. These result in a transformation of the phage-bacterium interaction from parasitism to mutualism in extreme environments and underscore the influential role of phages in bacterial adaptation to pollution-related stress and in…[Read more]

Taken together, this work helps lay the groundwork for future exploitation of glycoengineering as a tool to improve the performance of industrial enzymes.We demonstrate a strategy inspired by natural siderophores for the dissolution of platinum nanoparticles that could enable their size-selective synthesis, toxicological assessment, and the…[Read more]

Although osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, there is no effective disease-modifying therapy. We report an empty self-assembled hyaluronic acid nanoparticle (HA-NP) as a potential therapeutic agent for OA treatment. In mouse primary articular chondrocytes, HA-NPs blocked the receptor-mediated cellular uptake of…[Read more]
