Authors: Piva Laura Maria Rego , Casarin Helen de Castro , Guimarães José Augusto Chaves
Published: September 2021

O Brazilian Journal of information Science agrega um conjunto de conhecimento produzidos, a partir de uma determinada política editorial, conjunto esse que, por sua vez, revela interações e articulações dialógicas. A partir do panorama da produção científica veiculada pela revista, realizou-se uma análise de domínio sob a abordagem bibliométrica, tal como preconizado por Hjørland (2002), a partir das publicações no período de 2006 a 2019. Tal estudo revelou, entre outros aspectos, que a produção científica veiculada na revista sinaliza para uma grande diversidade de autores, instituições e países, ainda que com abrangência predominantemente brasileira, e com identidade temática em três nichos específicos da Ciência da Informação: aspectos epistemológicos do campo, organização da informação e gestão da informação.

Authors: Rosa André , Coutinho Diego
Published: September 2021

A Revenge é um periódico com 30 anos. Apesar de sua relevância apresenta ainda desafios a serem superados, como a busca pela indexação em bases internacionais. O objetivo do estudo foi apresentar um histórico das intervenções sistemáticas nos últimos 6 anos, discutir estatisticamente seus impactos, bem como realizar uma análise descritiva deste processo. Dentre as principais intervenções realizadas a partir de 2020 destacam-se a mudança para o fluxo contínuo, publicações em inglês e reestruturação do corpo editorial e de avaliadores. Os impactos foram positivos, visto que o tempo médio para a primeira decisão editorial foi de 337 dias (2019) para 55 (2020). Acredita-se que a internacionalização é o foco que as revistas emergentes devam manter para a melhoria das classificações e métricas.

Plasmodium resistance to Artemisinin Combination-based Therapies (ACT) in Southeast Asia is a major public health concern that is sporadically appearing in Africa. Senegal has shifted from malaria control to elimination plans. Given notable progresses obtained through robust strategic plans,it is still crucial to assess genetic variability of the Plasmodium falciparumartemisinin resistance gene marker Kelch13 (PfKelch13)in circulating field isolates.We herereportan analysis of PfKelch13-propeller polymorphism in clinical isolates collected nine years after ACT introduction in five Senegalese regions with different malaria transmission settings. Sequencing of PfKelch13-propeller domainfrom 280 clinicalisolates reveals that 16% (45/280) of the parasite population harboredvariants. Dynamics of PfKelch13 variants reveals emerging, persistent but also disappearing mutations over time. In addition to the malaria epidemiology, our survey also shows the dynamics of PfKelch13 variants in different malaria transmission settings in Senegal. Despite the absence of PfKelch13associatedartemisinin resistance mutations, a shift from 86% to 68% of PfKelch13WTwas observed when comparing parasites collected prior vs. post ACT intensive usage in Dakar a low malaria transmission area. All together,our data confirms the need to closely monitor PfKelch13 polymorphism to anticipate and or preventemergence ofP. falciparum resistancein Senegal.

Currently, research trends on aerobic granular sludge (AGS) have integrated the operating conditions of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) towards the stability of AGS systems in various types of wastewater with different physical and biochemical characteristics. More attention is given to the stability of the AGS system for real site applications. Although recent studies have reported comprehensively the mechanism of AGS formation and stability in relation to other intermolecular interactions such as microbial distribution, shock loading and toxicity, standard operating condition control strategies for different types of wastewater have not yet been discussed. Thus, the dimensional multi-layer structural model of AGS is discussed comprehensively in the first part of this review paper, focusing on diameter size, thickness variability of each layer and diffusion factor. This can assist in facilitating the interrelation between disposition and stability of AGS structure to correspond to the changes in wastewater types, which is the main objective and novelty of this review.

Authors: Zhao Xin , Zhang Zhiming , Hu Wenhan , Qi Xiaotian
Published: September 2021

In order to make the sponge city construction model more consistent with the inherent characteristics of the city, this paper constructs classification of the sponge city construction index system. We carry out multivariate statistical and cluster analysis based on geographic information system (GIS) and classify the different regions of mainland China, putting forward key points of construction for different types of regions. The results show that climatic factor, hydrological factor and soil factor are the main factors affecting sponge city construction, followed by city scale and level of urban economic development; the third is underlying surface type and geomorphological type. The cities are classified into ten clusters, and they present a continuously zonal or flaky distribution from northeast to southwest on the whole; more than 80% of cities obviously present a continuously zonal or flaky distribution. Each of the nine clusters has at least one pilot city, which can be used as a reference for construction.

Published: September 2021

SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been advanced as a relevant indicator of distribution of COVID-19 in communities, supporting classical testing and tracing epidemiological approaches. An extensive sampling campaign, including ten municipal wastewater treatment plants, has been conducted in different cities of France over a 20-week period, encompassing the second peak of COVID-19 outbreak in France. A well-recognised ultrafiltration – RNA extraction – RT-qPCR protocol was used and qualified, showing 5.5 +/− 0.5% recovery yield on heat-inactivated SARS-CoV-2. Importantly the whole, solid and liquid, fraction of wastewater was used for virus concentration in this study. Campaign results showed medium- to strong- correlation between SARS-CoV-2 WBE data and COVID-19 prevalence. To go further, statistical relationships between WWTP inlet flow rate and rainfall were studied and taken into account for each WWTP in order to calculate contextualized SARS-CoV-2 loads. This metric presented improved correlation strengths with COVID-19 prevalence for WWTP particularly submitted and sensitive to rain. Such findings highlighted that SARS-CoV-2 WBE data ultimately require to be contextualized for relevant interpretation.

Authors: Nezhad Shefa Mirani , Pourmousavi Seied Ali , Zare Ehsan Nazarzadeh
Published: September 2021

:

A highly efficient heterogeneous nanocatalyst based on modified poly (styrene-altmaleic
anhydride) (MPSAMA) in three steps was fabricated. Then, the MPSAMA surface was
modified using chlorosulfonic acid (CAS) to achieve a sulfonated MPSAMA (SMPSAMA) with
high acidity and efficiency. FT-IR spectroscopy, CHNS analysis, FESEM, and TGA were employed
to characterize the prepared nanocatalyst. The catalytic activity of the SMPSAMA was examined
for the formation of the polyhydroquinoline derivatives through Hantzsch condensation
and the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives. This new heterogeneous nanocatalyst has
been efficiently used for the synthesis of bifunctional bis polyhydroquinoline, and new alkylene
bridging bis 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives.

Nanostructures
Authors: Desimone Martín F. , Galdopórpora Juan Manuel , Municoy Sofia , Ibarra Fátima , Puente Virginia , Antezana Pablo Edmundo , Echazú Maria Inés Alvarez
Published: September 2021

Background:

Green synthesis of nanomaterials has gained interest over the years as it has
many benefits compared to conventional methods. Green methods are non-toxic and economic due to
the use of aqueous extracts as reducing agents. Yerba mate is a widely used herb in South America,
showing an available and economical alternative to conventional methods

Methods:

Different copper and zinc nanostructures were obtained using yerba mate extract (Ilex
paraguariensis) as a reducing and capping agent. Furthermore, adjusting NaCl concentration and
temperature, it was possible to successfully tune and examine the morphology of the resulting
nanostructures by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Phenolic oxidation was evaluated by Raman
spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) to assess the role of yerba
mate extract in the reaction. Moreover, antimicrobial activity versus Pseudomonas aeruginosa was
assayed, and antioxidant activity was performed by the DPPH method.

Results and Conclusion:

The present study reveals a powerful method to obtain zinc and copper
nanostructures, showing a logarithmic reduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa of 2.14 and 5.92
CFU/mL at 96 hours respectively and scavenger activity of 42% and 22%, respectively. These properties
highlight the potential of the nanomaterials for applications in catalysis, textile, biomedical and
agricultural fields.

Published: September 2021

Background:

Methotrexate (MTX) is a general chemotherapeutic agent utilized to treat
a variety of malignancies, woefully, its high doses can cause nephrotoxicity and subsequent defect
in the process of MTX excretion. The recombinant form of glucarpidase is produced by engineered
E. coli and is a confirmed choice to overcoming this problem.

Objective:

In the present study, in silico analyses were performed to select suitable SPs for the secretion
of recombinant glucarpidase in E. coli.

Methods:

The signal peptide website and UniProt database were employed to collect the SPs and
protein sequences. In the next step, SignalP-5.0 helped us to predict the SPs and the position of
cleavage sites. Moreover, physicochemical properties and solubility were evaluated using Prot-
Param and Protein-sol online software, and finally, ProtCompB was used to predict the final subcellular
localization.

Results:

Luckily, all SPs could form soluble fusion proteins. At last, it was found that PPB and TIBA
could translocate the glucarpidase into the extracellular compartment.

Conclusion:

This study showed that there are only 2 applicable SPs for the extracellular translocation
of glucarpidase. Although the findings were remarkable with high degrees of accuracy and precision
based on the utilization of bioinformatics analyses, additional experimental assessments are
required to confirm and validate it. Recent patents revealed several inventions related to the clinical
aspects of vaccine peptides against human disorders.

Background:

Primary dentition is a determinant for future permanent occlusion.

Objective:

This aimed to evaluate the prevalence of malocclusion and associated variables in the primary dentition among preschoolers in the city of Tbilisi, Georgia.

Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was conducted among kindergarten children aged 3–5 years. Orthodontic characteristics were assessed by one calibrated clinician (E.G). Questionnaires were given to parents to record associated variables like general health problems, functional changes, and the presence of non-nutritive sucking habits.

Results:

A total of 396 participants aged 3-5 were included in the study. The prevalence of malocclusion was 49.8%, without significant differences among genders. The prevalence of Class II malocclusion was 21.2%(±4.091), followed by a deep overbite,i.e, 10.7% (±3.14), crossbite,i.e, 7% (±2.561), anterior open bite,i.e, 6.9%, and Class III malocclusion,i.e, 1.6% (±1.513). A total of 41.5% of children with breathing problems had Class II and 13% had crossbite. Speech disorder in 46.8% of cases was associated with anterior open bite. Pacifier users had Class II in 22.5%, deep overbite in 12.2%, and open bite in 9.2% of cases. There was a high prevalence of anterior open bite (25.2%) in children with a thumb-sucking habit (RR=4.90). These data sets are statistically reliable (p < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Almost half of the evaluated preschoolers had malocclusion. The most frequent disorder was Class II. Malocclusion is associated with non-nutritive sucking habits and mouth breathing.

Authors: Rogova Evgenia , Naumenko Marina , Rogov Evgeny , Sheveleva Anna
Published: September 2021

Background:

The problem of purposeful systematic formation of professional ideas is particularly actual for visually impaired children in the context of reduced social contacts, at the same time an emotional sphere as a factor contributing to the compensation of the defect plays a great role for such children.

Objective:

To analyze the relationship of professional ideas of visually impaired young schoolchildren with personal components such as anxiety, aggression, level of introversion and extroversion.

Methods:

The respondents of the study were visually impaired junior students in the age from 9 to 11 years of the State public educational institution of Rostov Region, Russia “Rostov Special Boarding School Nº 38” in the amount of 94 people. We diagnosed the level of personal anxiety using the Spielberger scale. A questionnaire aimed at studying the ideas about the object of activity (E.I. Rogov) was used. Diagnostics of the level of aggression of schoolchildren was applied using the test “Cactus” (M. A. Panfilova). And the technique for diagnostics of professional activity motivation (K. Zamfir) was also used.

Results:

It has been established that the emotional and will component of professional ideas depends on the level of aggression, introversion and extroversion, from this point of view the combination of extroversion and aggression is favorable. The combination of introversion and aggression is the worst in respect of the emotional component, and introversion and non-aggressiveness is the worst in respect of the will component.

Conclusion:

The scientific categories presented in the article: professional ideas, anxiety, aggression, the degree of extroversion and introversion in the personality structure of visually impaired younger schoolchildren have certain relationships. The obtained data can be used preparing programs for purposeful formation of professional ideas of visually impaired younger schoolchildren.

Published: September 2021

Background:

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are a public health concern worldwide. Awareness campaigns have been conducted worldwide, educating communities on their manifestations, prevention, and steps to be taken once infected.

Objective:

This study aimed to determine childbearing women’s knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about STIs.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted at a district hospital near Pretoria in South Africa. The population comprised 190 childbearing women registered at the family planning clinic of the hospital. The sample size of 130 participants was computed at a confidence level of 95% with an error margin of 5%. Participants were selected using a table of random numbers, and data collection by means of a researcher-administered questionnaire. The SPSS software (version 22) was used for data analysis. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

Results:

Of the 130 participants, 123(94.6%) knew that STIs can be acquired through sex, and 41(31.5%) did not know that STIs can be asymptomatic. The most known STI was HIV by 117(90%) participants, the most known transmission route was sexual intercourse by 126 (96.9%) participants, and the most known symptom was penile/vaginal discharge by 108(83%) participants. Seventy-four (57.3%) regarded STIs as not dangerous, based on their belief that STIs are curable. There was generally a poor association between knowledge on STIs and alcohol consumption (p > 0.05).

Conclusion:

The childbearing age women knew most aspects of STIs, but had gaps of knowledge. They believed that STIs are curable, which influenced their attitudes towards STIs. Health care professionals are challenged to educate patients on STIs on an ongoing basis.
Quantile Regression Analysis of Modifiable and Non-Modifiable Predictors of Stroke among Adults in South Africa
Authors: Chikobvu Delson , Matizirofa Lyness
Published: September 2021

Background:

Stroke is the second largest cause of mortality and long-term disability in South Africa (SA). Stroke is a multifactorial disease regulated by modifiable and non-modifiable predictors. Little is known about the stroke predictors in SA, particularly modifiable and non-modifiable. Identification of stroke predictors using appropriate statistical methods can help formulate appropriate health programs and policies aimed at reducing the stroke burden. This study aims to address important gaps in stroke literature i.e., identifying and quantifying stroke predictors through quantile regression analysis.

Methods:

A cross-sectional hospital-based study was used to identify and quantify stroke predictors in SA using 35730 individual patient data retrieved from selected private and public hospitals between January 2014 and December 2018. Ordinary logistic regression models often miss critical aspects of the relationship that may exist between stroke and its predictors. Quantile regression analysis was used to model the effects of each predictor on stroke distribution.

Results:

Of the 35730 cases of stroke, 22183 were diabetic. The dominant stroke predictors were diabetes, hypertension, heart problems, the female gender, higher age groups and black race. The age group 55-75 years, female gender and black race, had a bigger effect on stroke distribution at the lower upper quantiles. Diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol showed a significant impact on stroke distribution (p < 0.0001).

Conclusion:

Most strokes are attributable to modifiable factors. Study findings will be used to raise awareness of modifiable predictors to prevent strokes. Regular screening and treatment are recommended for high-risk individuals with identified predictors in SA.

Published: September 2021

The objective of this work was to evaluate the adsorption potential of waste orange peels for the removal of palladium. Among linear models, Langmuir isotherm model was more suitable for the adsorption process. Adsorption kinetics analysis of pseudo-second-order model revealed that intraparticle transport was not the only rate-limiting step. Analysis based on the nonlinear mathematical modeling indicated that Smoothing Spline model shows best fitting with higher R-square (R2) and lower Sum of Square Error (SSE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). It was concluded that the SSE and RMSE values should be taking into account as well as R2 in the adsorption studies.

Exploring Visual Representation of #ShoutYourAbortion Hashtag Movement and the Public’s Responses on Instagram: Descriptive and Infodemiology Study (Preprint)
Authors: ‍Lee Sunmi , Kim Yunhwan
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Hashtag movement has become one of the major ways of online movement, but few studies have examined how social media photos were used for the movement. Also, it has not been actively investigated how photo features were related to the public’s responses in hashtag movements.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the present research was to explore Instagram photos with #ShoutYourAbortion hashtag, as an example of hashtag movements via photos, in terms of their visual representation and the relationships between photo features and the public’s responses to the photos.

METHODS

Instagram photos with #ShoutYourAbortion hashtag, 11,176 in total, were downloaded, and their content and embedded texts were analyzed using online artificial intelligence services. The photos were clustered into subgroups based on the features extracted using a pretrained convolutional neural network model. The resulting clusters were compared in terms of their content tags, embedded texts, and photo features which were manually extracted at the content and pixel levels. The public’s responses were measured by engagement and comment sentiment. Correlational analysis and predictive analytics were conducted to examine the relationships between photo features and the public’s responses.

RESULTS

It was found that the photos in the text category took the largest share (57.19%), and the embedded texts were mainly about stories told in first person point of view as a woman. A possible evidence of hashtag hijacking was observed. The photos were grouped into two clusters; the first cluster comprised photos which exhibit text materials on them, while the second cluster consisted of photos which contain human faces with texts. The photos in the first cluster were brighter, while the photos in the second cluster were more colorful than the others. And public responses were found to be related to photo features such as size of faces, happy emotion, and share of warm colors. Engagement was predicted from the photo features with an acceptable level of accuracy, while comment sentiment was not.

CONCLUSIONS

This This study has shown the visual representation of #ShoutYourAbortion hashtag movement. It has also shown how photo features at content and pixel levels were related to the public’s responses to the photos. The results are expected to contribute to the understanding of hashtag movements via photos and making photos in hashtag movements more appealing to the public.

Published: September 2021

Nowadays, the use of social media to analyze disaster responses has become important. However, its application to support decision-making by the Government during disasters still present significant challenges. This article offers a complete analysis of the response of the public and the Government in dealing with the COVID-19 Pandemics in Indonesia. The content analysis uses to analyze the tweet post on Twitter to determine the public and government response. Data was collected from public and government tweets on Twitter and producing 11,578 community tweets from the public and 958 tweets from the government account. This data was collected from 2nd March until 15th April 2020. Public comments are sorted into six categories of comments, that is fate, logic, government mention, worry, scientist, and impression, while sentiments are classified as positive, negative, and neutral. Government comments are sorted into eight categories, namely information, education, operating, warnings, resources provision, volunteer recruitment, and rumors management. The results showed that the public encourages and supports the Government to cope with a pandemic think rationally and logically in dealing with this Pandemic. In addition, the study indicates that the Government has not used social media as a medium for communicating with the public. The quality of government response is not good, especially in the categories of information on operations, warnings, resources provision, recruitment of volunteers, and rumors management. The implication of this study suggests how the data might be useful for the Government in delivering information during the Pandemic.

Published: September 2021

Flow rate is a necessary variable in industrial processes and, therefore, there is a wide variety of instruments designed to measure it. However, the most accepted measuring devices have the problem of being invasive or intrusive. The scientific and technological challenge is to achieve measurement by exploiting all the phenomenological possibilities using a non-intrusive, easy-to-install, portable and low-cost mechanism. This paper presents a literature review on the use of vibration analysis in flow rate metrological systems in order to identify research opportunities for the indirect measurement of this magnitude. A promising line of work was found based on soft flow rate sensors that use the analysis of pipeline vibrations integrated into computational intelligence routines, which allows inference of the flow rate value. The findings promote to continue with new technical and scientific challenges.

Published: September 2021

The textile industry in Colombia is a source of employment for more than 200.000 people and more than 50% of this production is undertaken in Medellin. Modeling and improving textile processes allow this economic line to be competitive internationally. In this paper, we make a description about the use of discrete event simulation in a textile finishing company through the presentation of the results of four scenarios, which finally shows the potential of discrete simulations in productive environments and its high impact when modelling part of reality without the necessity of experimenting with the real system. The method used in this paper is summarized in three major stages: the first one is the simulation methodology, the second one is the data to support the simulation, and the final stage is an analysis of the results with the comparison of the four scenarios. The simulation was statistically validated and verified with the real behaviors of the company and it is executed by using software tools such as EasyFit®, Microsoft Excel® and Simul8®.

Comprender cómo el docente moviliza conocimiento matemático y tecnológico para enseñar exige estudiar la práctica de los profesores de matemáticas cuando utilizan Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en el aula de clases. Este artículo presenta una manera de cómo abordar la investigación para profundizar en el conocimiento tecnológico didáctico del contenido (TPACK) de docentes de matemáticas. Para ello, se invita a docentes egresados de la Maestría en Enseñanza de las Matemáticas de la Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira. Todos ellos trabajan en colegios públicos en Municipios de los departamentos de Risaralda y Quindío. Como primer acercamiento, se adelanta una entrevista que permite reconocer sus creencias y conocimientos acerca del tema a través de la planeación de sus clases con uso de recursos digitales. En segunda instancia se observan en el aula, dos clases, en las que se desarrollan temas como la línea recta, la función lineal, sistemas de ecuaciones lineales, solución de problemas, funciones trigonométricas, funciones reales y límite de una función. Con uso de herramientas digitales tales como: GeoGebra, hoja de cálculo, videos, presentadores de diapositivas y una plataforma en línea. Actividad que se registra en videograbaciones. Esta información es tratada con teorías que permiten analizar las prácticas educativas a través de situaciones de transformación, de actividades instrumentadas, y del conocimiento matemático y tecnológico para enseñar. Metodológicamente, se aborda el estudio de casos para profundizar en las relaciones del conocimiento matemático y tecnológico para enseñar matemáticas. Además, se desarrollan estrategias propias para clasificar situaciones de transformación en las que hay actividades de enseñanza instrumentadas. Con estos referentes se analiza y comprende situaciones de transformación en el conocimiento matemático y tecnológico de la enseñanza de las matemáticas.

Every capable, creative person must be able to create and prove his ideas in every region of Latvia. Development of creativity of the population will increase human capital, which determines the quality of life of the country's population in general, but mainly in the regions. Promoting the development of human capital requires cooperation between the population and educational institutions, the implementation of which presupposes the digitalization of information exchange, the introduction of information platforms, the sharing of knowledge and the recognition of ideas. By developing the creativity of the population, it is possible to promote the advantages of each region, which in Zemgale would be associated mainly with the development of bioeconomy and eco-products and services. One of the tools to promote creativity would be the creation of regional university business incubators, which would encourage the involvement of creative people in the creation of eco-products and services.
The Deterrence of Rapid Metabolic Decline Within 3 Months After Teplizumab Treatment in Individuals at High Risk for Type 1 Diabetes

End points that provide an early identification of treatment effects are needed to implement type 1 diabetes prevention trials more efficiently. To this end, we assessed whether metabolic end points can be used to detect a teplizumab effect on rapid β-cell decline within 3 months after treatment in high-risk individuals in the TrialNet teplizumab trial. Glucose and C-peptide response curves (GCRCs) were constructed by plotting mean glucose and C-peptide values from 2-h oral glucose tolerance tests on a two-dimensional grid. Groups were compared visually for changes in GCRC shape and movement. GCRC changes reflected marked metabolic deterioration in the placebo group within 3 months of randomization. By 6 months, GCRCs resembled typical GCRCs at diagnosis. In contrast, GCRC changes in the teplizumab group suggested metabolic improvement. Quantitative comparisons, including two novel metabolic end points that indicate GCRC changes, the within-quadrant end point and the ordinal directional end point, were consistent with visual impressions of an appreciable treatment effect at the 3- and 6-month time points. In conclusion, an analytic approach combining visual evidence with novel end points demonstrated that teplizumab delays rapid metabolic decline and improves the metabolic state within 3 months after treatment; this effect extends for at least 6 months.

Introduction. One of the serious complications after transplantation of solid organs and bone marrow is the development of post-transplant lymphoproliferative diseases.Clinical case. To evaluate the course of post-transplant lymphoproliferative diseases in the long-term in a liver transplant recipient after conversion of immunosuppressive therapy from tacrolimus to everolimus. We analyze a case of generalized primary plasmacytoma of lymph nodes with bone marrow involvement in a patient after liver transplantation.Results. After conversion of immunosuppression we observed a rapid positive trend: decreasing size of lymph nodes and regression of the level of paraprotein down to its complete disappearance. There were neither adverse events associated with everolimus for four years, nor signs of immunosuppression insufficiency.Conclusion. This Case Report is the first description of a long-term remission of nodal plasmacytoma that developed in a liver transplant recipient after complete withdrawal of calcineurin inhibitors and administration of everolimus. We suggest that the regression of post-transplant lymphoproliferative diseases after replacing calcineurin inhibitors with everolimus is associated not only with the minimization of calcineurin inhibitors exposure, but also with the antitumor effect of the everolimus itself, which prompts us to discuss the possibilities of expanding its clinical application.
