1. Operating Model and Estimation of the Insurance Premium for an Energy Futures Clearing House in Brazil
Abstract Purpose We propose and analyze a new operating model for an energy futures exchange that could be implemented in Brazil, where there is low liquidity for these contracts. The clearing house temporarily assumes the position of customers who fail to answer the margin call, instead of closing the position, as would normally be done under normal condit

2. Stem cell therapy as a potential treatment option for psoriasis
Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory dermatological disorder characterized by white scales and clearly demarcated erythematous plaques. The prevalence of psoriasis varies from country to country and can occur at any age, implying that ethnicity, environmental factors, and genetic background all play a role in its onset. According to the World Psorias

3. Variations of Compact Rectangular Microstrip Antennas Using Defected Ground Plane Structure
Abstract The defects in the form of slots have been employed in microstrip antenna either on the patch or the ground plane to yield frequency reduction. However, the reported work does not provide any comparative study that highlight upon the frequency and cross-polar level reduction achieved using these various shape slot/defects. This paper provides a thor

4. MIMO-PLC Communications in an Experimental Medium Voltage Network: Measurement and Analysis
Abstract This paper presents measurements at a mock-up medium voltage network to verify the feasibility of Broadband Power Line Communication (BPLC). We use the data extracted within the frequency range 2 − 30 MHz to characterize a MIMO PLC network using different phase combinations, defining the best and worst use case scenarios. The empirical data shows

5. Central adrenal insufficiency: who, when, and how? From the evidence to the controversies – an exploratory review
ABSTRACT Central adrenal insufficiency (CAI) is a life-threatening disorder. This occurs when ACTH production is insufficient, leading to low cortisol levels. Since corticosteroids are crucial to many metabolic responses under organic stress and inflammatory conditions, CAI recognition and prompt treatment are vital. However, the diagnosis of CAI is challeng

6. The why and how of sequential and combination therapy in osteoporosis. A review of the current evidence
ABSTRACT It is now well recognized that over the lifetime of a patient with osteoporosis, more than one medication will be needed to treat the disease and to decrease fracture risk. Though current gaps in osteoporosis therapy can be potentially mitigated with sequential and combination regimens, how to move seamlessly amongst the multiple treatments currentl

7. Dose-ranging effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ABSTRACT The lowest dosage of empagliflozin (10 mg) showed similar benefits on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, body weight, blood pressure, and total and cardiovascular mortality in comparison with the highest available dose (25 mg) in the EMPAREG trial. These findings have not been clearly demonstrated for canagliflozin and dapagliflozin. The objective w

8. Chronic non-cancer pain in adolescents: a narrative review
Abstract Introduction Chronic pain is defined as a pain lasting more than 3-6 months. It is estimated that 25% of the pediatric population may experience some kind of pain in this context. Adolescence, corresponding to a particular period of development, seems to present the ideal territory for the appearance of maladaptive mechanisms that can trigger episo

9. Brazilian chronic myeloid leukemia working group recommendations for discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia in clinical practice
ABSTRACT Introduction: Treatment-free remission (TFR) is a new goal of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) therapy. TFR is feasible when the patient has achieved a deep and stable molecular response and met the criteria required to ensure its success. Treatment discontinuation should not be proposed to the CML patient if minimum conditions are not met. In Brazil

10. Possible Effects of Oriented Magnetic Fields on Human Blood Pressure
Abstract Background: There have been scattered reports indicating the possibility that applied magnetic fields can lower human blood viscosity, which has been considered as encouraging for decreasing blood pressure as a result of greater fluidity. Additional motivation comes from partial studies in animals showing some response of vascular variables to magn

11. Morpho-agronomic characterization and genetic divergence among pepper accessions
ABSTRACT The germplasm characterization and the analysis of genetic divergence are fundamental requirements to determine the genetic diversity available and peppers have considerable variability not most explored and quantified. Thus, the aim of this study was to characterize morphological and agronomically pepper accessions and their genetic divergence. The

12. Association of recurrent upper respiratory tract infections with low production of oxygen intermediates in children
Abstract Objectives: Upper respiratory tract infections in children generally have significant morbidity and mortality. There is little data available about functional immaturity of the immune system and the child’s susceptibility to infections at the beginning of their lives, thus, justifying a more specific immunological analysis. Method: Analysis of h
