PROFILE OF JUDICIALIZATION IN ACCESS TO ANTINEOPLASTIC DRUGS AND THEIR COSTS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL, DESCRIPTIVE STUDY BASED ON A SET OF ALL LAWSUITS FILED BETWEEN 2016 AND 2018 IN A STATE IN THE NORTHEAST REGION OF BRAZIL

Abstract Background The judicialization of the acquisition of medication for healthcare is not restricted to Brazil but can also be found in other Latin American countries, despite the existence of a universal health system in the case of Brazil, the Unified Health System (known as the SUS).Right-to-medicines litigation has existed ever since the e

Abstract Background A national endoscopic screening program for gastric cancer was rolled out in Japan in 2015.We used a microsimulation model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of current screening guidelines and alternative screening strategies in Japan.Methods We developed a microsimulation model that simulated a virtual population corresponding

Memory B-cells (MBCs) are potential antibody secreting immune cells that differentiate and mature following host exposure to a pathogen.Following differentiation, MBCs remain in peripheral circulation after recovery and are poised to secrete antigen-specific antibodies if and when they are re-exposed to their cognate antigen.Consequently, MBCs form

The electrochemical corrosion property of ternary Al and quaternary Zr added Bell metal in 0.1M Sodium Chloride solution has been experimentally conducted at room temperature.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method and Potentiodynamic polarization technique are Cup used to carry out the electrochemical investigation.Microhardness test i

Abstract Background Microarrays are powerful tools for DNA-based molecular diagnostics and identification of pathogens.Most target a limited range of organisms and are based on only one or a very few genes for specific identification.Such microarrays are limited to organisms for which specific probes are available, and often have difficulty discrim
