ProFuelDB : an open-access database of physiological properties of biofuel-prod...

Anaerobic microorganisms are attractive for the synthesis of fuels and chemicals, but information on the physiology of culturable anaerobes is dispersed in scientific literature. Herewith we present the ProFuelDB, a web-based publicly available database prototype compiling information on the physiology of anaerobic prokaryotes with relevance for biofuels production. It is foreseen that this prototype will evolv...

First record of the brown mussel (Perna perna) from the European Atlantic coast

The occurrence of the brown mussel Perna perna is reported for the first time from the European Atlantic coast, on the southern Portuguese coast. Several specimens of this mytilidae species were identified in exposed rocky intertidal habitats in Vilamoura (37804019.7000N 8807019.7100W) and Ilha do Farol (36858029.3800N 7851042.5100W). It is suggested that, under warming climate conditions, this subtropical/trop...

Miocardiopatia de etiologia isquémica versus não-isquémica: haverá diferenças n...

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have associated heart failure (HF) of ischemic etiology with worse prognosis compared to HF from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. HF treatment has evolved significantly in recent years. Has this evolution had an impact on this prognostic gap? OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to compare patients with advanced HF--nonischemic versus ischemic etiology--in terms of baseline characteri...

Left ventricular end diastolic pressure and acute coronary syndromes

BACKGROUND: Data is lacking in the literature regarding the prognostic impact of left ventricular-end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) across acute coronary syndromes (ACS). OBJECTIVE: To assess LVEDP and its prognostic implications in ACS patients. METHODS: Prospective, longitudinal and continuous study of 1329 ACS patients from a single center between 2004 and 2006. Diastolic function was determined by LVEDP. Pop...

Can we improve outcomes in patients with previous coronary artery bypass surger...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Prognosis and in-hospital management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and a history of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are still debated. The objective of this study was to characterize ACS patients with a CABG and to compare their in-hospital and postdischarge outcomes with those of patients without a CABG. METHODS: This ongoing prospective observational s...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy is effective even in elderly patients with co...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in elderly patients (> or =65 years) with younger patients and to assess the impact of comorbidities in CRT remodeling response. METHODS: This is a prospective study of 87 consecutive patients scheduled for CRT who underwent clinical and echocardiographic evaluation before and 6 months after CRT. A reductio...

Results of the routine use of 4F catheters for diagnostic catheterization in a ...

INTRODUCTION: Complications at the site of vascular access are the most common adverse events in cardiac catheterization. The use of small gauge catheters may reduce this risk and allow earlier ambulation, the main disadvantage according to some authors being inferior image quality. The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and image quality of 4 French diagnostic catheters. METHODS: We performed a retro...
