Available online 7 September 2013 ; Salmonellosis, one of the most common food and water-borne diseases, has a major global health and economic impact. Salmonella cells present high infection rates, persistence over inauspicious conditions and the potential to preserve virulence in dormant states when cells are viable but non-culturable (VBNC). These facts are challenging for current detection methods. Culture...
Not cultivating soil, rotating crops over the years, and leaving crop residues on the surface in the practice of zero tillage/conservation agriculture (ZT/CA) reverses the historically accelerating degradation of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil structure, while increasing soil biological activity by a factor of 2 to 4. The results of this are many: (a) not cultivating reduces soil compaction, leaving old roo...
We present a patient with leptospirosis infection who presented septic shock with multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome, severe rhabdomyolysis and acute myocarditis. He developed biphasic blood calcium pattern with hypocalcemia in the oliguric phase followed by hypercalcemia during the recovery diuretic phase in the context of rhabdomyolysis and oliguric acute kidney injury. Meanwhile, he developed an extensive c...
Ascite biliar é um achado pouco frequente entre os doentes com ascite. Está muitas vezes associada a lesões do tubo digestivo e/ ou da árvore biliopancreática. São descritos dois casos clínicos de doentes de idade jovem internados na UCIP, com antecedentes de consumo regular de bebidas alcoólicas, admitidos com o diagnóstico de pancreatite aguda e de pancreatite crónica agudizada, respectivamente. Ambos evoluír...
Chloroanisoles, namely 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, are pointed out as the primary responsible of the development of musty off-flavours in bottled wine, due to their migration from cork stoppers, which results in huge economical losses for wine industry. A prevention step is the detection of these compounds in cork planks before stoppers are produced. Mass spectrometry gas chromatography is the reference method used...
