Nutrition in the Teredinidae family of wood-boring mollusks is sustained by cellulolytic/nitrogen fixing symbiotic bacteria of the Teredinibacter clade. The mangrove Teredinidae Neoteredo reynei is popularly used in the treatment of infectious diseases in the north of Brazil. In the present work, the symbionts of N. reynei, which are strictly confined to the host's gills, were conclusively identified as Teredin...
O trabalho objetivou avaliar a produção de arroz e as alterações químicas do solo, em resposta à irrigação com o efluente da carcinicultura de águas interiores e comparar os resultados com aqueles obtidos com a irrigação convencional, utilizando água do Rio Jaguaribe. A produção de grãos obtida com o uso do efluente da carcinicultura foi semelhante àquela obtida com o uso da água de rio, quando foi utilizada na...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a antropometria, a composição corporal e o estado nutricional em ferro, cobre e zinco segundo o gênero, de crianças e adolescentes institucionalizados, moradores de duas favelas da cidade de São Paulo. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal utilizando medidas de peso, estatura, circunferência braquial, dobras cutâneas, bioimpedância elétrica, os escores Z da relação estatura para idade, índice de massa c...
The chemical percolation devolatilization model (CPD) was extended for the prediction of drying and devolatilization of coal particles in high intensity acoustic fields found in Rijke tube reactors. The acoustic oscillations enhance the heat and mass transfer processes in the fuel bed as well as in the freeboard, above the grate. The results from simulations in a Rijke tube combustor have shown an increase in t...
The present concepts on histamine releasing factors are discussed, their cellular origins, their effect on the target cells and its importance in asthma immunopathology. Personal results on the production of HRF by alveolar macrophages stimulated by allergen and its action on non atopic basophils are presented. Alveolar macrophages from atopic asthmatics release HRF in presence of allergen. Macrophage from non ...
O presente trabalho apresenta a proposta metodológica e os resultados consolidados do levantamento realizado, de modo descontínuo, ao longo de período de 6 meses (outubro de 86 a março de 87) da oferta tecnológica da FIOCRUZ. As definições conceituais e os procedimentos utilizados são apresentados de modo detalhado, por tratar-se de trabalho inédito na área de saúde. Também são apresentadas as 76 ofertas mapead...
Inhaled steroids play a central and undisputed role in the management of Bronchial Asthma, since inflammation has been recognised as the main physiopathological mechanism in this disease. Indeed, the earlier introduction of inhaled steroids in the therapy of Bronchial Asthma is currently being recommended by several authors. However, accompanying the much broader use of these drugs, concerns about the possibili...
The authors present two case-reports of Latex Anaphylaxis--a rare but dangerous manifestation of latex allergy--, one in a patient belonging to a risk group and the other in a patient without previously identified risk factors. A review of latex allergy, and particularly of latex anaphylaxis, is made focusing on risk groups, aetiology, diagnosis, prevention and therapy. This paper also intends to draw attention...
The authors present a case of disseminated tuberculosis in a patient under dialysis with endstage renal disease. Fever, nocturnal sweating, anorexia, asthenia, ascites, lymph node involvement and granulomatous involvement of the bone marrow were observed. In the twenty nine months of renal failure which preceded the beginning of the tuberculosis, serum calcium levels were normal or low-normal and there was a se...
Ebstein's Anomaly of the tricuspid valve has a variable degree of abnormality with a continuous change between mild and severe forms and, consequently, a variable clinical course. Pregnancy can also be well tolerated with a good fetal outcome. The authors present a case of a 44 year old woman with Ebstein's Anomaly of the tricuspid valve. Clinical evolution to the age of 38 and two term pregnancies in the third...
