Environmental Risk Assessment of Antiretrovirals Consumed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Abstract
Environmental Risk Assessment of Antiretrovirals Consumed in Belo Horizonte, BrazilAbstract The development and utilization of pharmaceuticals, notably antiretrovirals (ARVs), have significantly enhanced both human quality of life and life expectancy. Nevertheless, the excretion of these compounds into aquatic environments, often exacerbated by inadequate sanitation infrastructure, poses considerable risks to biota. This investigation evaluate [...] |

Differential Expression of MiR-21 and MiR-19 in Biliary Atresia: Diagnostic Potential and Therapeutic Implicationsby
Abstract Biliary atresia (BA), a severe pediatric liver disease of unknown etiology, causes neonatal jaundice, progressive cholestasis, and life-threatening liver fibrosis. Emerging evidence suggests microRNAs (miRNAs) – small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding target mRNAs may play a role in BA pathogenesis. Circulating miRNAs have shown [...] |

Loneliness, Love and Their Connection: A Commentaryby
Abstract A significant social stigma is associated with loneliness. The prevalence of social isolation, in the dawn of the 21st century points to the growing isolation in America. Lonely people who commonly display negative self-perceptions, show great difficulty to establish social ties, and that may be related to their personal inadequacies, or socially undesi [...] |
Evaluation of Full Blood Count–Derived Inflammatory Indices (SII, SIRI, PIV, NLR) in Behçet’s Disease Patients and Healthy ControlsAbstract This study investigated three novel complete blood count–derived inflammatory biomarkers Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), and Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) and their relationship with clinical features of Behçet’s Disease (BD). Established markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [...] |
Episomal Vectors: Principle, Utility, and Applicationby
Abstract An episomal vector is a plasmid- or virus-based vector that is present extrachromosomally in cells after transfection. Although it disappears during cell proliferation, it can exist in non-dividing cells, such as neuronal and muscular cells, and continues to express a gene of interest (GOI). Such episomal vectors are usually based on sequences from [...] |
