Routine screening of harmful microorganisms in beach sands: implications to pub...

Beaches worldwide provide recreational opportunities to hundreds of millions of people and serve as important components of coastal economies. Beach water is often monitored for microbiological quality to detect the presence of indicators of human sewage contamination so as to prevent public health outbreaks associated with water contact. However, growing evidence suggests that beach sand can harbor microbes ha...

Análise das Serologias para Infeções do Grupo TORCH e do Rastreio para Strepto...

INTRODUCTION: Systematic screening for TORCH infections and group B Streptococcus (GBS) during pregnancy has been an important factor in the improvement of perinatal care. AIM: To evaluate TORCH serology and GBS carriers state in the population of a maternity, to assess variability with age and nationality and to search for congenital infections. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Non-probabilistic prevalence study. RESU...

Eye tracking data representation and visualization : on information and communi...

Eye tracking has become a preponderant technique in the evaluation of user interaction and behaviour with study objects in defined contexts. Common eye tracking related data representation techniques offer valuable input regarding user interaction and eye gaze behaviour, namely through fixations and saccades measurement. However, these and other techniques may be insufficient for the representation of acquired ...

Development and optimization of a biological protocol for DNA detection of esch...

Computed tomography assessment of lung structure in patients undergoing cardiac...

Hypoxemia is a frequent complication after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), usually attributed to atelectasis. Using computed tomography (CT), we investigated postoperative pulmonary alterations and their impact on blood oxygenation. Eighteen non-hypoxemic patients (15 men and 3 women) with normal cardiac function scheduled for CABG under CPB were studied. Hemodynamic measu...

Morphology and reproduction of Mesophyllum erubescens (Foslie) Me. Lemoine (Cor...

The genus Mesophyllum Me. Lemoine includes around 147 species, of which only three have been referred to the Brazilian coast. Mesophyllum erubescens was originally described from Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Brazil (type locality). Here we present the first detailed description of M. erubescens based on Brazilian material. Samplings were made through scuba diving at the Biological Marine Reserve of Arvoredo...

Pathogenic fungi: an unacknowledged risk at coastal resorts? New insights on mi...

Whilst the potential impact on beach users from microorganisms in water has received considerable attention, there has been relatively little investigation into microbial contaminants in sand. Thirty three beaches across Portugal were analyzed during a five year period (2006–2010) to determine the presence of yeasts, pathogenic fungi, dermatophytes, total coliforms, Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci i...

Primary Disorders of Neurotransmitter Metabolism: Experience of a Tertiary Center

Neurotransmitter diseases are a group of inherited disorders attributable to a disturbance of neurotransmitter metabolism. Biogenic amines are neurotransmitters with multiple roles including psychomotor function, hormone secretion, cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal control, sleep mechanisms, body temperature and pain. Given the multiple functions of monoamines, disorders of their metabolism compr...

Caracterização da movimentação de bovinos com o uso de um modelo tipo centro-pe...

Verificou-se a influência da movimentação de bovinos na configuração de uma estrutura do tipo centro-periferia. Foram aplicadas técnicas das redes sociais - modelo centro/periferia (C/P) contínuo - para inferir sobre a semelhança entre os padrões de movimentação registrados no estudo com uma estrutura C/P perfeita. Os resultados mostram alta correlação, e o poder discriminatório do algoritmo permite identificar...
