Vigilância laboratorial das infeções por Neisseria gonorrhoeae em Portugal, 200...

Artistic work and structural organization of theater groups in Lisbon area. Fi...

Organizational structures in the cultural and creative sectors are being challenged by deep changes in the economic, cultural and governance frameworks in which they operate. These changes force them to assume increasingly differentiated strategies to face the challenges that thus emerge. This phenomenon increases the complexity of the analysis of the art worlds and it also brings new challenges to the concepti...

Effect of maternal hydration on the increase of amniotic fluid index

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of maternal hydration with oral isotonic solution and water on the amniotic fluid (AF) index of women with normohydramnios. Women with a normal AF index and gestational age between 33 and 36 weeks without maternal complications were randomized into three groups [isotonic solution (Gatorade®), water, control]. The isotonic solution and water groups ...

Transcriptomic analysis of plasmid and plasmid-related chromosomal ORFs in C. t...

Despite the undergoing chromosomal size-reduction of Chlamydia trachomatis, almost all strains maintain the conserved 7,5kb plasmid. It has been recently considered a virulence factor, as plasmid-bearing strains evidenced a higher ability to successfully colonize epithelial cells and sustain infection than plasmidless strains. However, the biological role of the eight plasmid ORFs remains poorly characterized. ...

Normalization strategies for real-time expression data in Chlamydia trachomatis

Since Chlamydia trachomatis is a genetically non-tractable pathogen, transcriptomics assumes a fundamental role for the better understanding of its biology. However, the suitability of endogenous controls for normalization of transcriptomic data in this bacterium still needs validation. We aimed to assess the stability of 10 genes for their potential use as endogenous controls in qPCR at both normal and stress ...

Molecular features underlying the higher ecological success of C. trachomatis E...

In the light of the >98% genomic similarity among Chlamydia trachomatis serovars, the higher worldwide ecological success of E and F is enigmatic. We intend to provide a quick overview of the molecular data that distinguish these from the remaining strains. Examples are: - E and F possess a similar chromosomal genetic make-up distinct from the remaining genotypes. Some loci linked to this independent co-segrega...

Ação do trifluralin na micorrização e crescimento de plantas de amendoim (Arach...

O amendoim (Arachis hypogaea) é uma planta que durante as fases iniciais do seu desenvolvimento sofre mais intensamente a competição das plantas daninhas, prejudicando sensivelmente sua produção. Uma forma muito eficiente de solucionar esse problema é o uso do herbicida trifluralin; no entanto, seu uso pode prejudicar a micorrização, uma associação benéfica formada por fungos e raízes da planta hospedeira. Este...

Uso tópico de ketanserina na cicatrização de feridas cutâneas induzidas em equinos

Estudou-se a eficácia do uso tópico de ketanserina como promotor da cicatrização de feridas cutâneas induzidas em equinos. As feridas foram produzidas em ambos os metâmeros na região da garupa de oito cavalos adultos, em formato quadrangular, medindo cinco centímetros de lado. Aleatoriamente um dos metâmeros foi escolhido como tratado, permanecendo o contralateral como controle. As lesões do grupocontrole foram...

Fatigue in a cohort of geriatric patients with and without Parkinson's disease

We evaluated the frequency of fatigue in geriatric patients with and without Parkinson's disease (PD) and correlated it with depression and excessive daytime sleepiness. We evaluated 100 patients from Hospital São Paulo, 50 with PD from the Neurologic Outpatient Clinic and 50 with non-neurologic diseases or oncologic diseases from the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic (controls). All patients who scored 28 or more on...

Perfil de natimortalidade de acordo com ordem de nascimento, peso e sexo de lei...

Foram acompanhados 575 partos para avaliar a influência da ordem de nascimento, do sexo e do peso dos leitões na ocorrência de natimortos. Dos 7061 leitões, 90,2%, 6,0% e 3,8% nasceram vivos, natimortos ou mumificados, respectivamente. O percentual de partos com natimortos foi 44,5%. Partos com dois ou mais natimortos foram responsáveis por 63,1% das perdas por natimortalidade, embora tenham sido responsáveis p...
