Vaccine and antiviral development against SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 disease
would benefit from validated small animal models. Here, we show that transgenic mice …

Although hefiatitis B is a significant health problem in the Americas, data about it in many
parts of the Hemisphere have tended to be scanty. To help define the situation, a study was …

Results of a survey of 7,342 blood samples from 13 countries and territories of the Ameticas
point to a high overall prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis A virus in these regions. The …

… To explore the behavior of hepatocyte-specific hubs as functional domains, we exposed
HepG2 cells to IL1b stimulus time course (0 h, 2 h, 8 h, and 23 h) to simulate the low-grade …

This paper is aimed to an experimental study on the flow patterns formed by heavy crude oil
(initial viscosity and density 488 mPa s, 925.5 kg / m 3 at 20 C ) and water inside vertical and …

Importance The prevalence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity is increasing. Objective To
estimate reductions in life expectancy associated with cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Design, …

By using the maximum entropy principle with Tsallis entropy we obtain a fragment size
distribution function which undergoes a transition to scaling. This distribution function reduces to …

In this article, dispersed flow of viscous oil and water is investigated. The experimental work
was performed in a 26.2-mm-id 12-m-long horizontal glass pipe using water and oil (…

Background Low-risk limits recommended for alcohol consumption vary substantially across
different national guidelines. To define thresholds associated with lowest risk for all-cause …

… 7 illustrates the variation of hydrodynamic mass normalized by the corresponding single-phase
flow value (m h,l ) as a … Oscar MH Rodriguez is grateful to CNPq for the research grant. …
