1. Autonomy versus paternalism: will of the person or will of the collective?

   REVISTA DA ASSOCIACAO MEDICA BRASILEIRA, v.67, n.8, p.1085-1086, 2021

2. Transcranial direct current stimulation combined with robotic training in incomplete spinal cord injury: a randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial

   SPINAL CORD SERIES AND CASES, v.7, n.1, article ID 87, 7p, 2021

   Study design A randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial. Objective To test the effects of tDCS, combined with robotic training, on gait disability in SCI. Our hypothesis was that participants who received active tDCS would experience greater walking gains, as indexed by the WISCI-II, than those...

3. Deficit of Inhibition as a Marker of Neuroplasticity (DEFINE Study) in Rehabilitation: A Longitudinal Cohort Study Protocol

   FRONTIERS IN NEUROLOGY, v.12, article ID 695406, 10p, 2021

   Background: Brain plasticity is an intrinsic property of the nervous system, which is modified during its lifetime. This is one mechanism of recuperation after injuries with an important role in rehabilitation. Evidence suggests that injuries in the nervous system disturb the stability between in...

4. The impact of COVID-19 vaccination delay: A data-driven modeling analysis for Chicago and New York City

   VACCINE, v.39, n.41, p.6088-6094, 2021

   Background: By the beginning of December 2020, some vaccines against COVID-19 already presented efficacy and security, which qualify them to be used in mass vaccination campaigns. Thus, setting up strategies of vaccination became crucial to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We use daily COV...

5. Exploring the Role of Alcohol Metabolizing Genotypes in a 12-Week Clinical Trial of Naltrexone for Alcohol Use Disorder

   BIOMOLECULES, v.11, n.10, article ID 1495, 10p, 2021

   Background: The efficacy of naltrexone in the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) has been associated with a set of variables not directly related with the expression of opioid receptors. All the variables have been found to be highly associated with AUD itself or more severe clinical levels ...

6. COVID-19 underreporting and its impact on vaccination strategies

   BMC INFECTIOUS DISEASES, v.21, n.1, article ID 1111, 13p, 2021

   Background: Underreporting cases of infectious diseases poses a major challenge in the analysis of their epidemiological characteristics and dynamical aspects. Without accurate numerical estimates it is difficult to precisely quantify the proportions of severe and critical cases, as well as the m...

8. Some Problems with the Dirac Delta Function: Divergent Series in Physics

   BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS, v.51, n.5, p.1324-1332, 2021

   The completeness relation for the eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint operator generally involves a divergent series or integral. In this paper, we show, using the eigenfunctions of the infinite square well as an example, that these divergent objects can be interpreted as distributions. This should ...

9. Modelling the impact of delaying vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 assuming unlimited vaccine supply

   THEORETICAL BIOLOGY AND MEDICAL MODELLING, v.18, n.1, article ID 14, 11p, 2021

   Background At the moment we have more than 177 million cases and 3.8 million deaths (as of June 2021) around the world and vaccination represents the only hope to control the pandemic. Imperfections in planning vaccine acquisition and difficulties in implementing distribution among the population...

10. Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC): a protocol for a multidisciplinary prospective observational evaluation of a cohort of patients surviving hospitalisation in Sao Paulo, Brazil

    BMJ OPEN, v.11, n.6, article ID e051706, 9p, 2021

    Introduction COVID-19 may lead to persistent and potentially incapacitating clinical manifestations (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC)). Using easy-to-apply questionnaires and scales (often by telephone interviewing), several studies evaluated samples of COVID-19 inpatients from ...
