One-Month Rifapentine–Isoniazid Regimen Versus Six-Month Isoniazid Monotherapy ...

Background and Objectives: Isoniazid monotherapy has been the most widely used treatment for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Although effective, it has been associated with poor adherence and a higher incidence of adverse events. The shorter duration of rifamycin-based regimens has become increasingly preferable. The one month of daily rifapentine plus isoniazid (1HP) has demonstrated low toxicity and hig...

Postura, movimento e dor: epistemologias

Do Corpo/“Espírito” enquanto imediaticidade nada poderia ser dito; para isso seria preciso o ato mefistofélico do pensamento, suposta liberdade racional a atentar a divisão, sem a qual não seria possível colocar a filosofia numa posição que, de ora em diante, será o próprio movimento. A analogia é uma necessidade, atendendo à permuta incessante entre Fisioterapia e Filosofia, com o propósito de ver a Unidade na...

Exploring the Relationship Between Wall Drop Punt Kick and Catch (Tripela Sport...

Our aim in this study was to analyze associations between the two manipulative tests of the Motor Competence Assessment (MCA) battery and the Wall Drop Punt Kick & Catch (WDPK&C) motor task. One hundred and twelve early adolescents (60 boys; 52 girls; M age = 12.67, SD = 1.78 years) participated. Overall, strong correlations were found between the WDPK&C and the MCA manipulative tests, either separately (r = .8...

This analytical study used a cross-sectional survey design to investigate the perceived impor...

Probe-based metagenomic pathogen detection: advancing laboratory capacity for c...

Probe-based pathogen enrichment, followed by NGS, is a promising tool for complex diagnosis, overcoming traditional challenges of shotgun metagenomics, namely small microbial/human genetic material ratio and demanding computational resources. Here, we assessed the combined detection performance of two Illumina probe-based panels, the Respiratory and the Urinary Pathogen ID panels (RPIP and UPIP), using 99 clini...

Speech as an Emotional Load Biomarker in Clinical Applications

Introduction: Healthcare professionals often contend with significant emotional burdens in their work, including the impact of negative emotions, such as stress and anxiety, which can have profound consequences on immediate and long-term healthcare delivery. In this paper a stress estimation algorithm is proposed based on the classification of negative valence emotions in speech recordings. Methods: An end-to-e...
