This essay assumes that from a simple administrative guideline, regionalization has become the main concept for enabling the doctrine of equitable and universal coverage behind the Brazilian Sistema Único de Saúde. At the interface between studies of the historicity of the concepts and extensive fieldwork, it is argued that the traditional concept of the regionalization of the Sistema Único de Saúde has reached the historical limits of its productive capacity. However, updating this term challenges novel perspectives for a clinical system integrated in networks within a broader intersectoral strategy of regional production clusters.

Targeted delivery offers solutions for more efficient therapies with fewer side effects. Here, lipopeptides (LPs) prepared by conjugation of the nuclear-targeting peptide analogue H-YKQSHKKGGKKGSG-NH (NrTP6) and two lauric acid chains are used to encapsulate the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DX) through a solvent-exchange protocol. LPs spontaneously form nanosized rod-like assemblies in phosphate buffer.

As infants suffer significant morbidity and mortality due to norovirus-related acute gastroenteritis (AGE), we assessed four formulations of the bivalent virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine candidate (HIL-214) in Panamanian and Colombian infants. 360 infants aged 6 weeks to 5 months were randomly allocated to 8 groups to receive three doses of HIL-214 or two doses of HIL-214 and one dose of placebo (Days 1, 56 and 112), where HIL-214 doses contained 15/15, 15/50, 50/50 or 50/150 μg of GI.1/GII.

Sign language is a form of non-verbal communication used by people with hearing disability. This form of communication relies on the use of signs, gestures, facial expressions, and more. Considering that in Colombia, the population with hearing impairments is around half a million, a database of dynamic, alphanumeric signs and commonly used words was created to establish a basic conversation.

Intertidal microhabitats provide special conditions to the organisms that inhabit them and to some of their morpho-protective characteristics. Tidal pools, under the influence of acidified freshwater, may affect the characteristics of the protective shells of prey and have repercussions on predation. The shells of Perumytilus purpuratus from such tidepools are more fragile than those of their counterparts from the vertical intertidal walls of the same area.
