Cleft lip-palate (CLP) is a "social" pathology because of its impact on the child's facial appearance and speech. School is the first place where children are confronted to others and when they start socializing. Taunting and bullying are common and their psychological impact remains hard to assess. The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of taunting in school and its impact in CLP patients who had surgical repair.We conducted a multicenter prospective study where we consecutively included ...

The potential impact of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on clinical, immunological and virological responses to initial highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is important to evaluate due to the high prevalence of HIV-HCV coinfection. A historical cohort study was conducted among 824 HIV-infected patients starting HAART at a public referral service in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, to assess the impact of HCV seropositivity on appearance of a ...

Oral amoxicillin (50 mg/kg/day) thrice daily is the first-line therapy for non-severe childhood pneumonia. Compliance could be enhanced if two daily doses are employed. We assessed the equivalence of oral amoxicillin (50 mg/kg/day) thrice or twice daily in those patients. This randomized (1 : 1), controlled, triple-blinded investigation conducted at one centre in Brazil included children aged 2–59 months with non-severe pneumonia diagnosed by trained paediatricians based on respiratory complaints and ...

Gas flow through the cake formed over the surface of a filter generates an aerodynamic drag that increases mechanical compression on the layers closer to the filter surface, reducing their thickness and permeability. A procedure was developed to calculate the pressure drop during cake build-up, taking into account the adjustment of the cake properties to the compressive stress through a constitutive equation. The rise of pressure drop with time in a cycle was determined assuming that the gas velocity ...

Software Product Lines are growing as a systematic way for achieving reuse in software companies. It involves three processes: domain engineering, application engineering and management. In domain engineering, assets that will be reused by products are developed, composing the core assets. In this context, the product line architecture, also called Domain Specific Software Architecture (DSSA), is an essential member in the collection of core assets. A good DSSA increases the probability of the success ...

Abstract Species distribution records are a prerequisite to follow climate-induced range shifts across space and time. However, synthesizing information from various sources such as peer-reviewed literature, herbaria, digital repositories and citizen science initiatives is not only costly and time consuming, but also challenging, as data may contain thematic and taxonomic errors and generally lack standardized formats. We address this gap for important marine ecosystem-structuring species of large ...
