Section 2 briefly reviews the literature on carbon taxation, focusing on Ireland. Section 3 describes the I3E model in a non-technical manner. Section 4 explains the designs of the conducted scenarios and discusses the results. Section 5 tests the sensitivity of the results regarding the ...
Researching promising antimicrobial agents that are effective against COVID-19 as well as Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is a major cause of pneumonia, should be encouraged to reduce mortality related to COVID-19 infections. In this chapter, the relation between secondary infections and antibiotic ...
Search and selection process. Two search phases will be conducted to provide evidence to contribute jointly to the narrative synthesis. The database search and the gray literature search will be performed concurrently, with the results of both being selected based on the screening checklist. Gray li...
The public health community has become increasingly critical of the role that powerful corporations play in driving unhealthy diets, one of the leading contributors to the global burden of disease. While a substantial amount of work has examined the political strategies used by dominant processed food...
A vesicle-mediated process by which cells engulf membrane and extracellular materials. Several endocytic pathways — phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis — utilize different mechanisms to internalize material. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is the major endocytic pathway in mammalian cells...
Invasive fungal infections are a potentially life-threatening complication in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of posaconazole as compared with other antifungal agents for preventing invasive fungal
Post-approval withdrawal of medicinal products because of adverse drug reactions can be triggered by evidence obtained from various sources – anecdotal reports, observational studies, clinical trials, systematic reviews, or animal data. The removal of previously approved products from the market can resu...
co-occurring microbial community members that support/trigger transfer of resistance traits and process of adaptation are all being increasingly recognized as significant elements in the rise of fit and resistant infectious agents (Palmer and Kishony, 2013; Hu et al., 2016; Andersson et al., 2020...
Structure (access, availability, cost, bureaucratic, waiting time at the site, amount/frequency/length of service, appropriateness of service, facilities); Process (respectful and supportive care, competence, attention to the needs, enabling or partnership, continuity and coordination of care, general ...
These pores are commonly called “electropores” and the process of forming them is electroporation. A potential application of electroporation is that solutions such as pharmaceutical agents, molecules, ions, and/or water can pass more readily from one side of the membrane to the other through ...
