Analysis of the functional performance of infants with congenital zika syndrome: a longitudinal study by Danielly Laís Pereira Lima (7031624)

“…In the sample of 16 infants, we observed a change in the classification from normal to delay in the domains of self-care and social function, with a significant decrease in normative scores (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively); in the mobility, individuals initially classified with delay also presented reduction of normative scores (p=0.001), remaining in the same classification. …”

Anaerobic digestion of urban wastes: integration and benefits of a small-scale system by J. R. Bautista Angeli (10691854)

“…<p>This work presents an integrated approach of anaerobic digestion (AD) at the urban scale, based on on-site collected wastes, experimentation in a pilot reactor, and model approach. To cope with urban waste limitations (season inflow, organic matter decrease, limited area), it was proposed a settlement of wastewater (WW), a drying of food waste (FW), and silage of green waste (GW). …”

Profiling of intestinal microbiota in patients infected with respiratory influenza a and b viruses by Al Khatib, Hebah A.

“…Overall, infected patients experienced an increased abundance of Bacteroidetes and a corresponding decrease in Firmicutes. Differential abundance testing illustrated that differences in gut microbiota composition were influenza type-dependent, identifying ten differentially abun-dant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) between influenza A-and influenza B-infected patients. …”
