Introduction and objectives: Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Dapagliflozin has proven efficacy in reducing the risk of death and hospitalization in HF patients, regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This paper aimed to project the potential impact of dapagliflozin on healthcare costs related to HF subsequent hos...

A challenge was made to a preschool class for an activity about science seeking to find situations where children use creativity in the process of science learning at this age level. No previous suggestion was given about the method and way of implementing the activity. The teacher prepared in advance a set of diverse materials that could be eventually used in due course of the activity. The teacher would guide...
