The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer, 1934), Nickle (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) is the causal agent of the pine wilt disease and is currently considered as one of the most important pests and pathogens in the world. Its introduction and spread in new forest ecosystems have considerable consequences both economically and environmentally. Therefore, it is of crucial importanc...
Diabetic mastopathy (DMP) is an uncommon collection of clinical, radiological, and histological features, classically described in premenopausal women with long-term insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. This entity can mimic breast carcinoma, but, in the appropriate clinical and imaging setting, the diagnosis can be made by core biopsy, avoiding unnecessary surgeries. We report the case of a 34-year-old female,...
A 7.4% vaginal extract of the Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) was compared with 0.75% vaginal metronidazole, both manufactured by the Hebron Laboratory, for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, used at bedtime for 7 nights. The condition was diagnosed using the combined criteria of Amsel and Nugent in two groups of 140 and 137 women, aged between 18 and 40 years. Intention-to-treat analy...
The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is responsiblefor pine wilt disease (PWD), a serious disease of forest tree species, in particular among the genus Pinus. It has been designated as a quarantine species in Europe (Directive 77/93 EEC). The first external symptomsare the yellowing and wilting of the needles, leading to death of the tree in case of heavy attack. The nematode is native to No...
Têm sido apontadas limitações a um importante estudo randomizado e multicêntrico, destinado a elucidar a decisão da via do parto na apresentação pélvica. Apenas temos a evidência que a via vaginal está associada a uma maior morbilidade e mortalidade neonatal face à cesariana electiva, quando não são criteriosamente avaliadas as condições necessárias à realização do parto pélvico por via vaginal. Como esta evidê...
A apresentação pélvica ocorre em 3% das gravidezes únicas de termo e está associada ao aumento do risco de complicações maternas e fetais. Os autores fizeram uma avaliação retrospectiva de 118 partos pélvicos por via vaginal. Foram considerados os recém-nascidos com pesos compreendidos entre 2000 e 4000 g, de gestação maior ou igual a 34 semanas. Comparou-se a morbilidade materna e do recém-nascido com apresent...
