Merozoites Obtained through a Simpler Method Do Not Survive in Classically Activated Macrophages.

Malaria is caused by apicomplexan parasites of the genus. is an excellent animal model for the study of human malaria caused by . Merozoites invade erythrocytes but are also found in other host cells including macrophages from the spleen and liver.

Telehealth Adoption in an Outpatient Oncology Ward: A Best Practice Implementation Project.

Telehealth is increasingly taking place to support the transition of care and self-management of people living with cancer in outpatient oncology settings. Despite its recognised value, the scientific evidence points to disparities with regard to implementation of telehealth that might compromise the equity of access. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) implementation approach, this project aims to promote the implementation of best practice recommendations for telehealth adoption in an outpatient oncology setting.

One Year of COVID-19 in Pregnancy: A National Wide Collaborative Study.

Introduction: Even though the risk of COVID-19 in pregnancy may be increased, large-scale studies are needed to better understand the impact of the infection in this population. The aim of this study is to describe obstetric complications and the rate of vertical transmission in pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Material And Methods: Detected cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy were registered in Portuguese hospitals by obstetricians.

Testing the influence of a sand mica mixture on basin fill in extension and inversion experiments.

We compare the deformation patterns produced by sand and a sand mica mixture (14:1 ratio of sand to mica by weight) while simulating basin fill in extension and inversion models to analyze the potential of the sand mica mixture for applications that require a strong elasto-frictional plastic analogue material in physical models. Sand and the sand mica mixture have nearly equal angles of internal friction, but the sand mica mixture deforms at a significantly lower level of peak shear stress. In extension, the sand mica mixture basin fill experiments show fewer normal faults.
