Covid-19 in children: A brief overview after three months experience

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – Coronavirus – 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its related Coronavirus Disease – 19 (COVID-19) has become a health emergency worldwide. The medical community has been concerned since the beginning of the outbreak about the potential impact of COVID-19 in children, especially in those with underlying chronic diseases. Fortunately, COVID-19 has been reported to be less severe in children than in adults. However, epidemiologic and clinical data are scarce.

Fatigue crack propagation mechanisms in C70250 and CuCrZr copper alloys

A previous study concerning the characterization of CuNiSi (C70250) and CuCrZr alloys showed very interesting characteristics of toughness evaluated with tensile tests and preliminary tests on Charpy specimens. These alloys could have interesting applications such as devices used for energy production, particle physics and aerospace. These alloys are used in the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) project, an international program of great interest. For this reason, it seems important to characterize the mechanical properties of these alloys.

The effectiveness of behavioural and cognitive behavioural therapies for insomnia on depressive and fatigue symptoms: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

This review aimed to assess the impact of behavioural therapy for insomnia administered alone (BT-I) or in combination with cognitive techniques (cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia, CBT-I) on depressive and fatigue symptoms using network meta-analysis. PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were searched from 1986 to May 2015. Studies were included if they incorporated sleep restriction, a core technique of BT-I treatment, and an adult insomnia sample, a control group and a standardised measure of depressive and/or fatigue symptoms.
