Respiratory rehabilitation in a person with Covid-19:: a case study

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus has had a serious impact on people's lives. (Tele)rehabilitation can be an opportunity in health service delivery, minimizing functional decline and optimizing recovery. Objective/s: To describe the gains in knowledge and learning skills in symptom control and functional recovery with a (Tele)rehabilitation program in a person with functional disability af...

Mycopigments for a sustainable textile industry

The textile industry represents a very important economic sector is several countries, being also associated to a high environmental impact, caused by the production and use of hazardous compounds and synthetic dyes. Therefore, the demand for natural, harmless as well as sustainable dyes and pigments has been increasing tremendously across the world. Mycopigments are produced by fungi and have emerged worldwide...

Living Donors’ Age Modifies the Impact of Pre-Donation Estimated Glomerular Fil...

Background: The global scarcity of organs for kidney transplants (KTs) has led to the increased acceptance of living donors (LDs) with minor abnormalities to increase the donor pool.. We sought to evaluate the effects of some of these LDs' clinical characteristics (older age, borderline renal function, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, and obesity) on graft outcomes. Methods: We studied 352 recipients of LDK...

Active layer and permafrost thermal regimes in the ice-free areas of Antarctica

Ice-free areas occupy <0.5% of Antarctica and are unevenly distributed across the continent. Terrestrial ecosystem dynamics in ice free areas are strongly influenced by permafrost and the associated active layer. These features are the least studied component of the cryosphere in Antarctica, with sparse data from permanent study sites mainly providing information related to the ground thermal regime and active ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi help the establishment of Quercus suber plantations under...

CT volumetry performs better than nuclear renography in predicting estimated re...

The evaluation of split renal function (SRF) is a critical issue in living kidney donations and can be evaluated using nuclear renography (NR) or computerized tomography (CT), with unclear comparative advantages. We conducted this retrospective study in 193 donors to examine the correlation of SRF assessed by NR and CT volumetry and compared their ability to predict remaining donor renal function at 1 year, thr...

Federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro: reflections

The current research reflects about the Federal intervention on the public security in Rio de Janeiro, occurred in 2018. Thus, governamental data was gathered, as well authorities points of view directly aligned to the matter, like the chief of staff of the Brazilian Army. This work tried to understand the function of the Army in the society and what was the intention of the Brazilian State to deploy its Armed ...

Detailed detection of active layer freeze–thaw dynamics using quasi-continuous ...

Climate-induced warming of permafrost soils is a global phenomenon, with regional and site-specific vari- ations which are not fully understood. In this context, a 2- D automated electrical resistivity tomography (A-ERT) sys- tem was installed for the first time in Antarctica at Decep- tion Island, associated to the existing Crater Lake site of the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring – South Program (CALM-S) – ...

Transition from a Subaerial to a Subnival Permafrost Temperature Regime Followi...

The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) region has been one of the regions on Earth with strongest warming since 1950. However, the northwest of the AP showed a cooling from 2000 to 2015, which had local consequences with an increase in snow accumulation and a deceleration in the loss of mass from glaciers. In this paper, we studied the e ects of increased snow accumulation in the permafrost thermal regime in two borehole...

Pan-Antarctic map of near-surface permafrost temperatures at at 1 km2 scale

Permafrost is present within almost all of the Antarctic's ice-free areas, but little is known about spatial variations in permafrost temperatures except for a few areas with established ground temperature measurements. We modelled a temperature at the top of the permafrost (TTOP) for all the ice-free areas of the Antarctic mainland and Antarctic islands at 1 km2 resolution during 2000–2017. The model was drive...
