Number of COVID-19 patients classified as cured: an imminent danger for the population.
2020
Caro Editor, Diversos estudos tem sido conduzidos destacando a gravidade de muitos casos da doenca pelo coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).(–) Contudo, os criterios adotados ate entao por muitos paises, como o Brasil, com respeito a evolucao para cura de pacientes assintomaticos ou com sintomas leves, podem representar riscos, devido a algumas limitacoes para o monitoramento da evolucao da infeccao. A recomendacao atual, nesses casos, preve a realizacao de testes laboratoriais confirmatorios de cura apenas para os casos graves da doenca. Os [...]

Detection Of Genomic Variants Of SARS-CoV-2 Circulating In Wastewater By High-Throughput Sequencing
2021
The use of SARS-CoV-2 metagenomics in wastewater can allow the detection of variants circulating at community level. After comparing with clinical databases, we identified three novel variants in the spike gene, and six new variants in the spike detected for the first time in Spain. We finally support the hypothesis that this approach allows the identification of unknown SARS-CoV-2 variants or detected at only low frequencies in clinical genomes.

Past, Present and Future Perspectives on Halloysite Clay Minerals
2020
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), clay minerals belonging to the kaolin groups, are emerging nanomaterials which have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to their interesting features, such as low-cost, availability and biocompatibility. In addition, their large surface area and tubular structure have led to HNTs’ application in different industrial purposes. This review reports a comprehensive overview of the historical background of HNT utilization in the last 20 years. In particular it will focus on the functionalization of the surfaces, both supramolecular and covalent, following applications in several fields, including biomedicine, environmental science and catalysis.
COVID-19 and Soccer Teams on Instagram: The Case of Corporate Social Responsibility
2020
COVID-19 has given greater importance to the role of social media in sport, making it an essential way for fans to stay “in touch” with their teams. At the same time, the pandemic triggered additional actions from sport entities with the view to prove their commitment to society in an unprecedented moment of crisis. Professional team sport organizations have indeed initiated corporate social responsibility actions to collaborate in the fight against COVID-19. To explore these actions, the authors analyzed 3,906 posts on the official Instagram profiles of professional team sport organizations of La Liga (soccer, Spain), from March 11 to May 11, 2020, classifying them as philanthropic, sponso…
