The article focuses on the Brazilian government's role in implementation of immunization policies and in the emergence of a government structure involving production and quality control of immunobiologics. It examines Brazil's National Immunization Program, creation of the National Institute for Quality Control in Health, and the Program for Self-Sufficiency in Immunobiologics. It also takes a ...

The use of immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization techniques are paramount to the maintenance for aesthetic hard and soft tissue structures. This is particularly important when implant-supported restorations are utilized in the aesthetic zone. A purpose of the custom-fabricated provisional abutment and restoration is to guide the hard and soft tissue response during healin...

Background Recently, different arboviruses became endemic in Brazil mostly causing acute febrile illnesses, however, neurological manifestations have also been reported. This study aimed to investigate which viruses were involved the meningitis etiology and contribution of circulating Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Methods From June 2014 February 2016, 170 patients with suspected viral identified Cou...

To understand spacetime dynamics in the canonical tensor model of quantum gravity for positive cosmological constant case, we analytically and numerically study phase profile its exact wave function a coordinate representation, instead momentum representation analyzed so far. A saddle point analysis shows that Lie group symmetric spacetimes are strongly favored due to abundance continuously exi...

We report on experimental results where a temporal intensity profile presenting some of the main signatures Peregrine soliton (PS) is observed. However, emergence highly peaked structure over continuous background in normally dispersive fiber cannot be linked to any PS dynamics and mainly ascribed impact Brillouin backscattering.

Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative coccobacillus and the etiologic agent of the zoonotic disease tularemia. First described in 1911 in Tulare County, California, it has since been reported throughout the Northern Hemisphere, with natural infections reported among an unusually wide range of vertebrates and invertebrates. In recent years, tularemia has emerged in new geographic locations, ...
