Immunological response and zika mutations as a mechanism of microcephaly: systematic review and meta-analysis

Several circumstances may involve the development of microcephaly in the context of Zika infection. Mutations and the immune response caused by the virus may be part of the theoretical direction in the context. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between immune response or zika mutation and the development of microcephaly. A systematic review was conducted with meta-analysis on immunology and zika mutations in the development of microcephaly. A literature search was conducted on PubMed e Scopus online databases, with a search period for the past 5 years.

Preparation of statistical copolymers of trimethylene carbonate and lactide: candidate materials for medical applications

Copolymers of trimethylene carbonate (TMC) and L-lactide (LA) with distinct compositions were prepared in solution employing [Mg(OEt)2]2∙[Ti(OBu)4] as initiator. Our results showed that the reactions in solution are considerably slower compared with the same copolymerizations carried out in bulk, however the copolymer ratios observed by NMR tracks the feed ratio excellently when the reactions were performed in toluene at 90o C.

Super-heróis também envelhecem: um estudo sobre o envelhecimento saudável a partir do plano imagético

Defende-se, no presente estudo, que as políticas públicas têm relevância imprescindível no sentido de ressaltar os benefícios do envelhecimento saudável para o idoso, como riqueza de conhecimentos, habilidades motoras e físicas, bem como experiências na vida cotidiana e laboral (OMS, 2020). Pensando nisso, objetiva-se, com esse manuscrito, realizar um estudo do envelhecimento saudável, tendo como foco de análise a produção imagética de super-heróis dos desenhos animados.

Carbendazim induced morphological abnormalities in developing zebrafish embroys

Carbendazim is an extensively used fungicide for protection of crops, fruits and vegetables against fungal diseases, and also for protection of harvested products during their storage and transportation. Carbendazim inhibits the synthesis of nucleic acids and cell division in fungi. The present study is an attempt to examine the effect of non-lethal concentration of Carbendazim on potential developmental stages of Zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Industrial development in hilly areas of mizoram

The industrial development is an important parameter and essential key tosocio-economic development of a country. The industrialist countries are more progress and itscomplexes promoting the growth centers and act as an agent of developmentnot only in the core region but also periphery of rural, hilly and inaccessible region as technological advancement extends the degree of social, economic and political powers of the state. However, imbalances and unequal expansion of industrial growth leads to social and political problems of the country.

The importance of environmental management and corporate sustainability in relation to electronic waste

In the last decades the relationship between economic development, environmental quality and social equity has been outlined within the concept of sustainability. The objective of this research was to investigate the importance of the reuse/treatment of technological waste for the environmental preservation and sustainability of a company. The research was carried out through an exploratory study, with a literature review on the subject through books, papers, theses, dissertations and a survey of information, in secondary sources from a company in the field of information technology.

Validated stability indicating method for determination of umifenovir- remdesivir in presence of its degradation products

A simple stability indicating reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method has been developed for the determination of Umifenovir and Remdesivir in its tablet dosage form. The chromatographic solution was optimized by using the standard solution. The chromatographic method was used by Zorbax SB C18 column of dimensions 150x4.6 mm, 3.5 microns, using isocratic elution with a mobile phase of acetonitrile and water with a 50:50 ratio was used for the chromatographic separation and was monitored at a wavelength 230 nm PDA detector with flow rate 1 ml/min.

Uso de plasma rico em plaquetas no tratamento de epicondilite do cotovelo: revisão de literatura

A epicondilite lateral do cotovelo pode ser compreendida como uma lesão resultante de ativação excessiva da musculatura e componentes articulares do cotovelo. Atividades laborais e/ou esportivas, que exigem movimentos repetitivos em pronação e supinação com extensão do cotovelo promovem tal quadro patológico que cursa com dor em região lateral do antebraço e cotovelo. O objetivo do estudo aqui proposto foi avaliar na literatura científica as vantagens e desvantagens da utilização do plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) para tratamento da epicondilite do cotovelo.
