Sheridan, E. Andrews, E. Andrews

“…Scattering coefficients (<span class="inline-formula"><i>σ</i>_sp)</span> were calculated from measured particle number size distributions with a Mie code and from filter samples using mass scattering efficiencies. Absorption coefficients (<span class="inline-formula"><i>σ</i>_ap)</span> were determined with a three-wavelength Particle Soot Absorption Photometer (PSAP) and corrected for scattering by using two different algorithms. …”

COVID-19 associated mucormycosis – a recent challenge by Vitorino Modesto dos Santos, Lister Arruda Modesto dos Santos, Taciana Arruda Modesto Sugai

“…All neonatal patients underwent a surgical procedure; posaconazole (30%) and isavuconazole (11%) effectively treated these patients.5 The authors commented on low immunity during the COVID-19 pandemic favoring the high prevalence of mucormycosis in India and the difficulties of early diagnosis and treatment.5 Divakar6 reviewed data about mucormycosis in general and the cases associated with the two waves of COVID-19 infections in India.6 The estimated mortality rate of mucormycosis (50%) may be over 90% if untreated; Rhizopus arrhizus was the most common agent of human mucormycosis described in Indian patients, followed by Apophysomyces variabilis, R. microsporus, and R. homothallicus.6 Mucormycosis among COVID-19 patients, including the mortality rate, are increasing in India and some of the neighboring countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan.6 Because of species-specific differences, there are therapeutic challenges in India, with only three potentially efficient drugs (amphotericin B, posaconazole, and isavuconazole). …”

Effects of pulse width and frequency on evoked responses in electrostimulation: comparison between three muscle groups by Timothée Popesco, Quentin Gardet, Jonathan Bossard, Nicola A. Maffiuletti, Nicolas Place

“…Since the effectiveness of NMES for neuromuscular adaptations depends on the amount of force generated during training (Maffiuletti et al., 2018), these results suggest that the use of WPHF NMES would be efficient on plantar flexors and knee extensors for training and rehabilitation and that wide pulses and high frequencies should be preferentially used when implementing this NMES modality in clinical settings. …”
