Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssociation of Anthropometric and Metabolic Variables with Cardiovascular Disease among Urban and Rural OriginBadaruddoza, Kushal Gill, Raman KumarProblem statement: We have examined the prevalence and association of cardiovascular diseases with respect to obesity and metabolic risk factors clustering among urban and rural Punjabi males aged 20-55 years. Obesity has been defined by increased Waist Circumference (WC), Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR). Metabolic traits such as increased total cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins have also … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCyclodextrin Glucanotransferase Activity of Microbial Strains Isolated from Yam-Cultivation Soils in Northwestern BeninCyrille Alode Vodounon, Ténor Dias-Mendel Allode et al.β-Cyclodextrin, an industrially important oligosaccharide, is produced by microbial enzymes such as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). This study investigated ways to optimize the enzymatic activity of CGTase from Bacillus cereus, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus brevis, and Bacillus subtilis strains isolated from soils in north-western Benin. Cyclization activity of CGTase and the influence of pH, temperature, and metal ions were assessed using conventional … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2026 · 652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBacterial Resistance in Primary Bloodstream Infections in the COVID-19 Pandemic: What has Changed at a Reference Hospital in Northeastern Brazil?Jonathan Da Silva Xavier, Jorge Luiz Nobre Rodrigues, Caroline Mary Gurgel Dias Florêncio et al.The increased use of central venous catheters due to the severity of COVID-19 cases and the difficulty in implementing preventive Healthcare-Associated Infection measures contributed to worsening an already challenging scenario of bacterial resistance. Characterizing the impact of these significant health crises on the bacterial resistance profile is necessary to strengthen antimicrobial control protocols in an effort to decrease morbidity. Our … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2024 · 5,033 accessesView PDFCite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the author namesComputational Analysis of Environmental Risk ConditionersBarbara Carla Coelho Batista, João Victor Dutra Balboa, Caio Vincenzo Reis Dima et al.The intense urbanization process since the 1970s, coupled with the lack of adequate housing and social policies, has led large urban centers to disordered occupations and situations of geotechnical risk. These occupations were not implemented in a technically correct manner from the point of view of civil engineering, considering landscaping, drainage and paving, as well as edification. Areas at risk … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 16 Oct 2020 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSCUTMA: Selecting Components for Unit Testing in Mobile ApplicationsJosias Gomes, Isabel K. Villanes, Silvia M. Ascate et al.Context The source code of a mobile application has several components (i.e., code units) and they have a cost (e.g., test creation and execution) and benefit (e.g., find bug) value for performing unit testing. Problem Choosing in which components unit tests should be done, in order to increase the benefit (effectiveness) and decrease the cost of this activity. Proposal This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 10 · 15 Oct 2020 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesExplaining the Generalized Cross-Validation on Linear ModelsLucas Monteiro Chaves, Laerte Dias de Carvalho, Carlos José dos Reis, Devanil Jaques de SouzaCross-Validation is a model validation method widely used by the scientific community. The Generalized Cross-Validation (GCV) is an invariant version of the usual Cross-Validation method. This generalization was obtained using the non usual theory of circulant complex matrices. In this work we intend to give a clear and complete exposition concerning the linear algebra assumptions required by the theory. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Oct 2019 · 10,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEndoscopic Changes of Nasal Mucosa in Patients with LeprosyCarla Andrea Avelar Pires, Eline Pinheiro Weba Costa, Marcus Vinicius Duarte Costa et al.Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease, affecting the skin and Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. In most leprosy cases, the nasal mucosa is affected. We aimed to describe the clinical changes in nasal mucosa using nasal endoscopy, in patients with leprosy attending a dermatology service in an endemic region and compare this changes with those founds in non-leprosy patients nasal … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 3 May 2019 · 7,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of Curcumin and Physical Training on the Brain and Motor Performance of Rats with Cerebral IschemiaKarine Sthéfany Serpa Amaral Dias, Jonas Augusto Ramos, Bruno Mattiello Gomes et al.Brain ischemia is the second most deadly disease in the world and it has already been proven that mild and moderate physical exercises minimize the deleterious effects of this disease on the brain. Curcumin has also been considered a neuroprotective substance. Therefore, the goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of high-resistance training and curcumin on the brain … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2019 · 7,765 accessesView PDFCite
