Influence of the inflammatory response on treatment of hepatitis C with triple ...
Winckler,Fernanda Cristina; Braz,Aline Marcia Marques; Silva,Vanessa Nogueira da; Golim,Marjorie de Assis; Andrade,Vanessa Gutierrez deAbstract INTRODUCTION: Chronic hepatitis C is a leading cause of liver disease. Infection triggers an immediate immune response in the host that is mediated by humoral/cellular mechanisms. T cells respond to infection via secretion of cytokines, which inhibit or stimulate one another, leading to cytokine imbalance and ultimately affecting treatment. Studies using interferon (IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) showed that...

Análise espacial de dados de contagem com excesso de zeros aplicado ao estudo d...
Costa,José Vilton; Silveira,Liciana Vaz de Arruda; Donalísio,Maria RitaResumo: A incidência de dengue ocorre predominantemente em áreas urbanas das cidades. Identificar o padrão de distribuição espacial da doença no nível local contribui na formulação de estratégias de controle e prevenção da doença. A análise espacial de dados de contagem para pequenas áreas comumente viola as suposições dos modelos tradicionais de Poisson, devido à quantidade excessiva de zeros. Neste estudo, co...
