Differences between FEV6, FVC and VC at the diagnosis of obstructive ventilator...
Sousa, C.S.; Coelho, D.B.; Amorim, P.; Viana, P.; Cruz-Martins, N.; Drummond, M.Introduction: The diagnosis of airway obstruction can be made through FEV1/FVC ratio <0.7 or FEV1/VC ratio < lower limit of normality (LLN). Several authors advocate that FEV1/FEV6 ratio is an alternative to diagnosing obstructive ventilatory defect, while others have determined that the best cut-off for this ratio (best combined sensitivity and specificity) is 0.73. Objective: To evaluate the non-inferiority o...
What do asthmatic patients think about telemedicine visits?

In silico characterization of 1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase and ...
Sousa, C.S.; Barros, E.G.; Moreira, M.A.; Barros, B.A.; Barh, D.; Ghosh, P.; Azevedo, V.The enzymes 1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotrans-ferase (CPT) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) are important in lipid metabolism in soybean seeds. Thus, understand-ing the genes that encode these enzymes may enable their modification and aid the improvement of soybean oil quality. In soybean, the genes encoding these enzymes have not been completely described; there-fore, this study aimed t...
