Evaluation of the Peripheral and Central Auditory Systems in Children and Adolescents Before and After COVID-19 Infection.

Unlabelled: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. During and after COVID-19, audiovestibular symptoms and impairments have been reported.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the peripheral and central auditory systems of children and adolescents following the acute COVID-19 phase based on behavioral, electroacoustic, and electrophysiological audiological assessments.

Observation and Modeling of a Sharp Oxygen Threshold in Aqueous Free Radical and RAFT Polymerization.

It is known that oxygen (O) stops radical polymerization (RP). Here, it was found that the reaction turn-off occurs abruptly at a threshold concentration of O, [O], for both free RP and reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT). In some reactions, there was a spontaneous re-start of conversion.

Consensus on evidence-based medicine curriculum contents for healthcare schools in Brazil.

Objectives: Healthcare professionals need to take into account their knowledge, skills and attitudes to develop a focused clinical question, perform an effective search of the literature, critically appraise the evidence, and apply to the clinical context and evaluate the effectiveness of the process. To date, there is a lack of consensus on evidence-based medicine (EBM) curriculum for undergraduate healthcare students in Brazil. The aim of this study was to develop a consensus on EBM curriculum contents for healthcare schools in Brazil considering expert opinion.
