Can cardiac computed tomography predict cardiovascular events in asymptomatic t...

BACKGROUND: Doubts remain about atherosclerotic disease and risk stratification of asymptomatic type-2 diabetic patients (T2DP). This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of calcium score (CS) and coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) to predict fatal and non fatal cardiovascular events (CVEV) in T2DP. METHODS: Eighty-five consecutive T2DP undergoing CT (Phillips Brilliance, 16-slice) with CS and...

Serum Zn Levels in Dysphagic Patients Who Underwent Endoscopic Gastrostomy for ...

Background and aims: Dysphagic patients who underwent endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) usually present protein-energy malnutrition, but little is known about micronutrient malnutrition. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of serum zinc in patients who underwent endoscopic gastrostomy and its relationship with serum proteins, whole blood zinc, and the nature of underlying disorder. Methods: From patients...

Case for Diagnosis

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell tumor is a rare, highly aggressive systemic neoplasm for which effective therapies have not yet been established. We describe a 73-year-old man with multiple nodules and patches emerging on the trunk and limbs. Lesional skin biopsy revealed a plasmacytoid dendritic cell tumor with dense dermal infiltrate of tumor cells with blastoid features. No apparent systemic involvement ...

A transformation of business process models into software-executable models usi...

Traditional software development projects for process-oriented organizations are time consuming and do not always guarantee the fulfillment of the functional requirements of the client organization, and thus the quality of the resulting software product. To reduce the time spent for developing software and improve its quality, we adopt the inclusion of automation in some parts of the software development proces...

Antagonistic activities of Kefirgel and Kefirgel products against Staphylococcu...

Diabetic foot ulcers are often complicated by infection and among pathogens the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus is the most common isolated. Also concomitantly, the high prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was significant impact on successful treatment of infected foot ulcers. In this context, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of Kefigel®, a natur...

Selection of staphylococci strains isolated from a Portuguese traditional ferme...

In order to evaluate its potential use as starter cultures, 104 isolates of Staphylococcus spp. were obtained from sausages and different sampling environment points in workshops A and B, at southern region of Portugal. PCR amplification was carried out to confirm genus and species allocation. From workshop A, 47 isolates were staphylococci, the majority belonging to the specie S. equorum, while from workshop B...

Optical properties of LFZ grown β-Ga2O3:Eu3+ fibres

Due to their relevance for electronic and optoelectronic applications, transparent conductive oxides (TCO) have been extensively studied in the last decades. Among them, monoclinic β-Ga2O3 is well known by its large direct bandgap of ∼4.9 eV being considered a deep UV TCO suitable for operation in short wavelength optoelectronic devices. The wide bandgap of β-Ga2O3 is also appropriate for the incorporation of s...
