An Integrated Database for Exploring Alternative Promoters in Animals by Feiyang Xue, Yuqin Yan, Weiwei Jin, Haotian Zhu, Yanbo Yang, Zhanhui Yu, Xuewen Xu, Jing Gong, Xiaohui Niu

“…Abstract Alternative promoter (AP) events, as a major pre-transcriptional mechanism, can initiate different transcription start sites to generate distinct mRNA isoforms and regulate their expression. At present, hundreds of thousands of APs have been identified across human tissues, and a considerable number of APs have been demonstrated to be associated with complex traits and diseases. …”

Análise do nexo causal entre atividade desenvolvida e doença ocupacional/afastamentos médicos de servidores docentes de uma universidade federal do centro-oeste brasileiro by André Baptista Leite, Alessandro Vinicius de Paula

“…A análise dos dados permitiu observar que a maior porcentagem de afastamentos estava contemplada nas seguintes categorias de adoecimento, em ordem decrescente de prevalência: “fatores que influenciam o estado de saúde e o contato com os serviços de saúde” (CID Z); “transtornos mentais e comportamentais” (CID F); “doenças do sistema osteomuscular e do tecido conjuntivo” (CID M). Tais adoecimentos podem estar relacionados a fatores como elevadas cobranças por produtividade acadêmica no ambiente universitário e estrutura física precária da universidade, associados à ausência de programas de prevenção e promoção da saúde do servidor docente na área acadêmica. …”
