This study aimed at evaluating the internal structure of Family Health Units in relation to the access of people with physical and/or sensory disabilities. It is a descriptive, exploratory, population-based research, held in Family Health Units of the municipality of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. For the collection of data, a checklist based on Technical Standard 9050 was used. For the analysis, the descriptive and exploratory analysis of the data and the Chi-square test were applied. As a result, of the 90 buildings evaluated, only 47.8% have a wheelchair ramp, of these 30.0% have maximum slope and 32.2% have anti-slip flooring. In 28.9% access happens through a staircase without handrail and in 6.7% through a staircase with handrail, 6.7% of these with anti-slip flooring. And only 17.8% of sliding doors have lowered tracks. We concluded that it must be recognized that public policies and institutions do not correspond to the need of these people, and it is necessary to reformulate this form of care and reorganize health services.

This study investigated the professional values of midwifery students and the factors influencing these values. Conducted from January 6 to March 6, 2021, it involved 715 midwifery students who participated voluntarily. Data was collected using a Descriptive Data Sheet and the Professional Values of Midwives Scale.

This cross-sectional study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence and the potential risk factors of Brucella infection among goats in family farms in the southern east of Algeria. A total of 196 sera samples were randomly collected from 59 family farms and tested in parallel by Rose Bengal test (RBT) and indirect ELISA (iELISA). A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on potential risk factors.

Background: This study aimed to identify a set of newborn signal functions (NSFs) that can categorize health facilities and assist policymakers and health managers in appropriately planning and adequately monitoring the progress and performance of health facilities delivering newborn health care in Bangladesh and similar low-income settings.
Methods: A modified Delphi method was used to identify a set of NSFs and a cross-sectional health facility assessment among the randomly selected facilities was conducted to test them in public health facilities in Bangladesh. In the modified Delphi approach, three main steps of listing, prioritizing, and testing were followed to identify the set of NSFs.

To address a gap in our understanding of viral infections in epidemiologically important rat species, we aimed to detect DNA viruses from the tissues of free-ranging rat populations in Hungary. DNA viruses were identified from the parenchymal organs of 230 and , using family-specific pan-PCR assays followed by sequencing of the PCR products. Adeno-, herpes-, circo-, and polyomaviruses were detected, while irido-, pox-, and dependoparvoviruses were not.

Unlike other ubiquitin-like family members, UBL5 is structurally and functionally atypical, and a novel role in various biological processes and diseases has been discovered. UBL5 can stabilize the structure of the spliceosome, can promote post-transcriptional processing, and has been implicated in both DNA damage repair and protein unfolding reactions, as well as cellular mechanisms that are frequently exploited by viruses for their own proliferation during viral infections. In addition, UBL5 can inhibit viral infection by binding to the non-structural protein 3 of rice stripe virus and mediating its degradation.
