TL;DR: The models for BSA and HSA with bound SDS suggest that the surfactant could be bound at the same sites as those reported in the crystal structure for the fatty acid, suggesting that the mechanism of the interaction is the same.

TL;DR: Targeting HIF-1α-induced changes in monocyte metabolism by SARS-CoV-2 infection directly inhibit T cell response and reduce epithelial cell survival, and may have great therapeutic potential for the development of novel drugs to treat COVID-19.

TL;DR: The authors' studies show a clear division of T. cruzi into two major lineages presenting a high phylogenetic divergence and hypotheses are discussed to explain the origin of the two lineages as well as isolates that are hybrid for group 1 and 2 rDNA markers.

TL;DR: Padroes e tendencias da disponibilidade domiciliar de alimentos no Brasil sao consistentes com a importância crescente de doencas cronicas nao transmissiveis no perfil de morbi-mortalidade e com o aumento continuo da prevalencia da obesidade no Pais.
Abstract: OBJETIVO: Descrever a distribuicao da disponibilidade domiciliar de alimentos no Brasil em 2002-2003 e avaliar sua evolucao nas areas metropolitanas do Pais no periodo 1974-2003. METODOS: A principal base de dados do estudo e a Pesquisa de Orcamento Familiar de 2002-2003 realizada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica em 48.470 domicilios brasileiros. Em cada domicilio, num periodo de sete dias consecutivos, foram registradas todas as aquisicoes, monetarias ou nao monetarias, de alimentos e bebidas para consumo familiar. As quantidades de alimentos adquiridas foram transformadas em calorias e macronutrientes, usando tabelas de composicao alimentar. RESULTADOS: Caracteristicas positivas do padrao alimentar, encontradas em todas as regioes e em todas as classes de rendimento, foram a adequacao do teor proteico das dietas e o elevado aporte relativo de proteinas de alto valor biologico. Caracteristicas negativas, tambem disseminadas no Pais, foram excesso de acucar e presenca insuficiente de frutas e hortalicas na dieta. Nas regioes economicamente mais desenvolvidas, no meio urbano e entre familias com maior rendimento houve tambem excesso de gorduras em geral e de gorduras saturadas. A evolucao nas areas metropolitanas do Pais evidenciou declinio no consumo de alimentos basicos, como arroz e feijao, aumentos de ate 400% no consumo de produtos industrializados, como biscoitos e refrigerantes, persistencia do consumo excessivo de acucar e insuficiente de frutas e hortalicas e aumento no teor da dieta em gorduras em geral e gorduras saturadas. CONCLUSOES: Padroes e tendencias da disponibilidade domiciliar de alimentos no Brasil sao consistentes com a importância crescente de doencas cronicas nao transmissiveis no perfil de morbi-mortalidade e com o aumento continuo da prevalencia da obesidade no Pais.

TL;DR: At high population levels, quality of sardine and their eggs decreased in Japan, leading to decreased production and survival of eggs, poor year-classes and stock collapse.
Abstract: Decade-scale regimes of sardine Sardinops sagax and anchovy Engraulis spp. have been observed in the productive coastal waters of the North-Western, North-Eastern and South-Eastern Pacific and the South-Eastern Atlantic. In each of these systems, the two genera fluctuate out of phase with each other. The subdominant genus may initiate a recovery while the other species is still abundant, so population growth is not necessarily a response to a vacant niche. Rather, it appears to be triggered by formation of one or a few powerful year-classes. At high population levels, quality of sardine and their eggs decreased in Japan, leading to decreased production and survival of eggs, poor year-classes and stock collapse. Excessive fishing of strong year-classes early in the recovery stage may prevent a species from assuming dominance, so influencing the natural succession of species. This may greatly alter the structure and functioning of an ecosystem. For example, a mesopelagic forage fish may replace an epipelagi...
