2. Effects of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on a Six-minute Walk Test, Maximal Inspiratory Pressure and Peak Expiratory Flow in Patients with Heart Failure: A Longitudinal Study
Abstract Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for patients with heart failure. Objective: To evaluate the response of CRT in maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and exercise tolerance as determined by the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with HF. Methods: This study used the 6MWT

3. Impact of drains positioning on pulmonary function after coronary artery bypass grafting: an observational study
Abstract Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a procedure associated with a decline in pulmonary function. Among the main causes is the presence of the drain that is usually positioned in the intercostal or subxiphoid region. Objective: To measure the interference of drains positioning on pulmonary function in patients undergoing CABG.

5. Synthesis and SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease Inhibitory Effects of Oxazolidinone Derivatives
The 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) is an attractive target for the development of anti-SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) drugs. In this work, a series of oxazolidinone derivatives 3a-3v were synthesized and their inhibitory activities against SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 3CLpro were evaluated by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FR

7. Discovery of Thiopyrimidinone Derivatives as a New Class of Human Aldose Reductase Inhibitors
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insufficient insulin production, the cells’ inability to use this insulin, or a combination of both, leading to secondary complications such as diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. One way to prevent or control such complications is the use of aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors. In this work, we synth

12. Predictive factors of melanoma thickness
Abstract Background: Melanoma thickness is a relevant prognostic marker that is crucial for staging and its calculation relies on the histopathological examination. There is a risk of thickness underestimation with an incisional biopsy if the latter is not performed on a tumor area where the thickness is maximal. This occurrence may have an impact on a ther
