CD10 is a multifunctional transmembrane neutral endopeptidase (NEP), considered to be a reliable marker of ectopic human endometrial stroma. Available information in NEP/CD10 protein expression in animal endometria is scarce. This study focused on the immunolocalization of NEP/CD10 in the canine uterus and on its temporal changes during the oestrous cycle and early pregnancy (days 11 to 23 post-LH surge) in hea...
Endometrial adenocarcinomas are considered to be rare in domestic animals, in particular comparing to non-epithelial tumours of the uterus such as leiomyoma, in part because they are likely underdiagnosed. In cats, though uterus was the most common site for genital tract tumours, endometrial adenocarcinomas were found to be rare in all available references. In the study presented herein, forty feline primary en...
The aim of this study was to compare two diagnostic methods for the detection of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection in lymph nodes with granulomatous lymphadenitis from slaughtered domestic pigs. Fifty affected lymph nodes were collected from 50 pigs and examined microscopically and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Microscopically, granulomatous lesions were observed in 92% of the samples, consistin...
Herein, we report the occurrence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map), in four domestic pigs slaughtered for consumption that revealed compatible lesions of Mycobacterium spp. Infection in submaxillary and in mesenteric lymph nodes during the post mortem examination was observed. Histopathologic evaluation revealed granulomatous lesions mostly consisted by central necrosis, associated with infla...
Thirty six tissues from sheep, previously diagnosed with paratuberculosis, were tested by PCR in positive Ziehl-Neelsen staining smears of tissues, and PCR in tissues targeting IS900 specific for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. DNA amplification was achieved in 33.3% Ziehl-Neelsen smears, and in 61.1% tissue samples. Combination of both techniques found 66.7% samples as positive. Combination of tec...
Mestrado em Economia e Estudos Europeus ; Este trabalho tem por objectivo principal compreender a razão de o Reino Unido não ter adoptado o euro. Seguimos dois objectivos secundários: perceber a atitude dos governos britânicos face à União Económica e Monetária e os efeitos das políticas da União Europeia sobre a convergência/divergência das economias inglesa e da Zona Euro. A metodologia usada para avaliar o ...
Vitamin A and the retinoids play a unique role in mammalian embryonic and foetal development and are essential for both cellular differentiation and the establishment of normal morphogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a known potent mitogenic factor that plays a key role in lung development and function maintenance. In order to contribute to a better knowledge of the modulating effects of vit...
