At the end of 2020, a new highly transmissible variant SARS-CoV-2 was discovered in United Kingdom (UK). This work aims to identify potential cases UK Portugal using routine diagnostic samples. A total 26 out 43 positive samples that were identified by RT-PCR as suspects confirmed through sequencing be variant. The first case us collected on 21 December 2020 at Lisbon airport travelers from Man...

Keeping track of SARS-CoV-2 variants concern (VOC) is crucial to inform public health efforts and limiting the ongoing pandemic. Here, we describe first detection P.1 lineage in Turkey. The fact that new can be detected every geography world indicates need for more whole genome sequencing order better understand virus dynamics take earlier action.

This Viewpoint discusses the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, including its epidemiology, transmissibility, how uneven vaccination coverage in US encouraged spread, and most effective public health responses to curb it.

fuzzy time series have been developed during the last decade to improve the forecast accuracy. many algorithms have been applied in this approach of forecasting such as high order time invariant fuzzy time series. in this paper, we present a hybrid algorithm to deal with the forecasting problem based on time variant fuzzy time series and particle swarm optimization algorithm, as a highly effici...

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency is the most prevalent enzymopathy in mankind. it has sex-linked in­heritance. this enzyme exists in all cells.  g6pd deficiency increases the sensitivity of red blood cells to oxidative dam­age. g6pd deficiency was discovered in 1950 when some people suffered hemolytic anemia as a result of taking antimalar­ial drugs (primaquin). most people w...

Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering recently described a low-cost, user-friendly point-of-care (POC) device that detects SARS-CoV-2 and several variants of concern in an hour using saliva samples.

Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is a heme-containing enzyme produced by white-rot fungi and is part of the extracellular lignin degrading system in these organisms. MnP is unique among Mn binding enzymes in its ability to bind and oxidize Mn(II) and efficiently release Mn(III). Initial site-directed mutagenesis studies identified the residues E35, E39, and D179 as the Mn binding ligands. However, an...

Widespread application of chloronitrobenzenes as feedstocks for the production of industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals has resulted in extensive environmental contamination with these toxic compounds, where they pose significant risks to the health of humans and wildlife. While biotreatment in general is an attractive solution for remediation, its effectiveness is limited with chloronitrobe...
