Continuity of neuro-psychomotor stimulation of children with congenital Zika syndrome.

Objective: Understand the continuity of stimulation of neuro-psychomotor development in children with congenital Zika syndrome.

Method: Descriptive-exploratory study with theoretical support in symbolic interactionism. Between August and November 2019, 12 health professionals were interviewed in depth; and to the focus group, seven caregivers of children with the syndrome.

Anthropogenic Disturbances Eroding the Genetic Diversity of a Threatened Palm Tree: A Multiscale Approach.

Habitat loss and the illegal exploitation of natural resources are among the main drivers of species extinction around the world. These disturbances act at different scales, once changes in the landscape composition and configuration operate at large scales and exploitation of natural resources at local scales. Evidence suggests that both scales are capable of triggering genetic erosion in the remaining populations.

Performance of an automatic translator in translating medical abstracts.

The aim of the present paper was to quantitatively assess the performance of a free online translator in translating medical texts from English into Italian. Effectiveness was evaluated and established by analyzing the number and percent of translation errors with respect to the original medical abstracts. Furthermore, the present study analyzed the total number and the percent of translation errors and their correlation with lexical density, which was assessed using Text analyzer.

Chronic disease in children and adolescents: professional-family bond for the promotion of social support.

Objective: To analyze the bond in social support delivery by a multidisciplinary team to families during the hospital stay of children/adolescents with chronic disease.

Method: Qualitative research, conducted in the pediatric unit of a public hospital in Paraíba State, Brazil, from November 2012 to July 2013, involving fourteen health professionals, by means of a semi-structured interview. The data were subjected to thematic analysis.

Effect of hypoxia and aging on PKC delta-mediated SC-35 phosphorylation in rat myocardial tissue.

Nuclear speckles, which are sites of pre-mRNA splicing and/or assembly components, are diffusely distributed throughout the nucleoplasm. They are composed of splicing factors (SFs), including SC-35, which are nuclear proteins that remove introns (noncoding sequences in the genes) from precursor mRNA molecules, to form mature RNA, which will be transported to the cytoplasm, site of protein synthesis and activation. In light of such evidences, here we report that hypoxia modulates in vivo SC-35 SF phosphorylation via protein kinase C (PKC) delta in young rat heart.

Angelo Mosso and muscular fatigue: 116 years after the first Congress of Physiologists: IUPS commemoration.

At the first International Congress of Physiologists in Basel, Switzerland, the Italian physiologist Angelo Mosso (1846-1910) discussed his findings on muscular fatigue while demonstrating the functioning of an ergograph (work recorder). One hundred sixteen years later, Mosso's career, scientific accomplishments, and legacy in the study of muscular fatigue were commemorated at the 2005 International Congress of Physiological Sciences. After receiving his degree in Medicine and Surgery from Turin, Italy, in 1870, Mosso was able to study and interact with renowned physiologists as Wilhelm Ludwig, Du Bois-Reymond, Hugo Kronecker, and Etienne Marey.
