Due to their chemical versatility, transition metals were incorporated as cofactors for several basic metabolic pathways in living organisms.This same characteristic makes them potentially harmful, since they can be engaged in deleterious reactions like Fenton chemistry.As such, organisms have evolved highly specialized mechanisms to supply their o
To analyze the effect of various flow units in a channel sand body on remnant oil, we established a connection between various flow unit types and the remnant oil distribution.Using stratigraphic correlation and the characterization of sedimentary microfacies, we describe a single sand body, point bar, and narrow channel located at the injection-pr
This study proposes a review on hyaluronic acid (HA) known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate and its derivates and their application in cosmetic formulations.HA is a glycosaminoglycan constituted from two disaccharides (N-acetylglucosamine and D-glucuronic acid), isolated initially from the vitreous humour of the eye, and subsequently discovered in diff
Abstract Background We examined the effectiveness of a manual therapy consisting of forearm skin rolling, muscle mobilization, and upper extremity traction as a preventive treatment for rats performing an intensive lever-pulling task.We hypothesized that this treatment would reduce task-induced neuromuscular and tendon inflammation, fibrosis, and s
Background: Research is needed in order to understand the potential influence of the Bilateral Agreement between South Africa and the United Kingdom (UK), as well as other more recent international and local policies restricting movement of South African health workers abroad; and to determine what effect they have on the migration intentions and p
