Background: Recently developed immunosuppressive drugs, especially TNF antagonists, may enhance the risk of granulomatous infections, including leprosy. We aimed to evaluate the leprosy detection rate in patients under immunosuppression due to rheumatological, dermatological and gastroenterological diseases. Methods: We performed a systematic revie...
A numerical semigroup S is a subset of the set of nonnegative integers closed under addition, containing the zero element and with finite complement in N0 (this finite cardinality is named the genus of S). It is well-known that every numerical semigroup S is finitely generated and there are many works concerning the properties of numerical semigrou...
Em Wuhan, China, no final do ano de 2019 ocorreu um surto de pneumonia viral de causa desconhecida, até que em 7 de Janeiro de 2020 foi identificado o agente etiológico desta doença pelo Centro Chinês de Controle e Prevenção de Doenças (CDC), em quese tratava de uma Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave por Coronavírus 2(SARS-CoV-2) conhecida como coro...
The structural and optical propertie of semiconducting oxide nanomaterials offer several possibilities for applications in photocatalytic activities, solar cells and gas sensing owing to their reduced dimensions and large surface/volume ratios as compared to their bulk counterparts. In this study, undoped and Co doped ZnO nanostructures were prepar...
The following letter, from a network of women zoologists, is a reply to the article of AlShebli et al. (2020), which suggests that female protégés reap more benefits when mentored by men and concludes that female mentors hinder the success of their female protégés and the quality of their impact. This contribution has two parts. First, we highlight...
The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) is an inner-membrane transporter that facilitates pyruvate uptake from the cytoplasm into mitochondria. We previously reported that MPC1 protein levels increase in the hypothalamus of animals during fever induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but how this increase contributes to the LPS responses remains to b...
Molecular crystals compose the current state of the art when it comes to organic-based optoelectronic applications. Charge transport is a crucial aspect of their performance. The ability to predict accurate electron mobility is needed in designing novel organic semiconducting materials. In the present work, the Semi-Classical Marcus (SCM) and Marcu...
