1. Growth phenotypes of very low birth weight infants for prediction of neonatal outcomes from a Brazilian cohort: comparison with INTERGROWTH

Abstract Objective: To assess the predictive value of selected growth phenotypes for neonatal morbidity and mortality in preterm infants < 30 weeks and to compare them with INTERGROWTH-21st (IG21). Methods: Retrospective analysis of data from the Brazilian Neonatal Research Network (BNRN) database for very low birth weight (VLBW) at 20 public tertiary-care

5. Technological properties of a self-bloating clay and expanded-clay aggregate for the production of lightweight concrete

Abstract The global interest in an increasingly sustainable economy, with a reduction in the consumption of raw materials and energy, can be supported by the growth in the use of lightweight concrete (LC) produced with expanded-clay aggregates (EA). The main qualities of natural self-bloating clay for the production of EA were studied, analyzing the paramete

6. Sowing date influence on the soybean tolerance to defoliation at the beginning of pod formation

ABSTRACT Late sowings anticipate flowering and decrease the soybean vegetative plasticity. These changes may limit the ability of plants to tolerate leaf area losses. The objective of this research was to evaluate the sowing date effect on soybean tolerance to defoliation at the beginning of pod formation. The experiment was set in Lages (Santa Catarina Stat

7. Low-dose paclitaxel modulates the cross talk between the JNK and Smad signaling in primary biliary fibroblasts

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism underlying the occurrence of benign bile duct stricture and the target of low-dose paclitaxel in the prevention of benign bile duct stricture. METHODS: Under the stimulation of transforming growth factor beta 1, the expression of collagen type I and connective tissue grow

8. Growth dynamics of container seedlings of Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla and Hymenaea courbaril L.

ABSTRACT Growth analysis (GA) is used to quantify plant development based on morphophysiological changes. GA is a practical tool to evaluate nursery techniques to make them more efficient. The objective of this essay was to quantity measure morphophysiological growth variables of Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla and Hymenaea courbaril (jatoba) conta

9. Hybrid MAPbI3 Perovskite Growth Mechanism from Irregular Particles to Cuboid and Hopper-Type Morphologies

Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3), used as light-harvesting layer in solar cell devices, has attracted great attention from scientific community due to its excellent photovoltaic performance. In this work, we have shown a comprehensive study on the hybrid organic-inorganic MAPbI3 perovskite growth mechanism from irregular small particles to cuboid shape fo

11. Serum vascular endothelial growth factor as a marker for tubal pregnancy

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether a single measurement of vascular endothelial growth factor could distinguish between intrauterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy and to correlate the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor with serum levels of progesterone andβ-human chorionic gonadotropin in each subgroup. METH

12. Cushing disease due to a somatic USP8 mutation in a patient with evolving pituitary hormone deficiencies due to a germline GH1 splicing variant

SUMMARY We present the unique case of an adult Brazilian woman with severe short stature due to growth hormone deficiency with a heterozygous G to T substitution in the donor splice site of intron 3 of the growth hormone 1 (GH1) gene (c.291+1G>T). In this autosomal dominant form of growth hormone deficiency (type II), exon 3 skipping results in expression of
