Purpose: To show the utility of high resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (HR SOCT) for the in situ evaluation of epithelial, stromal and contact lens (CL) thickness changes under closed-eye conditions without lens removal. Settings: Clinical and Experimental Optometry Research Lab, University of Minho, Portugal. Methods: Eight young healthy patients wore a thick soft CL during 90 minutes u...
Germline mutations in the WNK4 gene originate Gordon syndrome or pseudohypoaldosteronism type II, a familial form of hypertension with hyperkalemia and hypercalciuria. The WNK4 protein encodes a protein kinase involved in the regulation of various renal ion channels. In order to elucidate the contribution of WNK4 genetic variants to hypertension and/or osteoporosis, we analyzed 271 control individuals and a coh...

Background and aims: Phenotypical differences from interstrain variability is a known phenomenon, assessed in this study for V4 and Y S. plymuthica isolates, particularly at antimicrobial metabolites production and effect on pathogens biofilms. Methods: Isolates were biochemically characterized, specific growth rates in Tryptic Soy/Skim Milk Broth determined, and the antimicrobial activity of cell-free spent me...
The present study analyzed the physiological significance of the dominant follicle (DF) and its removal on the superovulatory response of 42 Nellore cows and tested the hypothesis that the number of subordinate small follicles (3-8mm) could be used as a single criterion for the evaluation of the presence or absence of a DF in the ovaries. Ultrasonographic examinations were performed two days before the beginnin...
