In search of homelands: using strontium isotopes to identify biological markers...

This study uses strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) in dental enamel from burial populations related to the fortified Chalcolithic settlement site of Zambujal (c. 2800e1800 BC) to distinguish the presence of nonlocal individuals. Zambujal is located in the Estremadura region of Portugal near the Atlantic coast and has long been considered a central location of population aggregation, craft production, and trade duri...

Circulating cell-free DNA levels in Portuguese patients with psoriasis vulgaris...

associated with inflammation. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to understand the relation of CFD levels with psoriasis severity, defined by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), with inflammation and with psoriasis therapy. METHODS: Forty-six patients with psoriasis vulgaris were evaluated before (T0) and after 12 weeks (T12) of treatment with narrowband ultraviolet light B (NB-UVB; n = 17), psoralen plus UVA (PUVA...

EFICÁCIA DE COLOIDES VS CRISTALOIDES NA REPOSIÇÃO VOLÉMICA A NÍVEL HEPÁTICO EM ...

Apesar dos avanços na sua abordagem terapêutica, a hemorragia severa continua a ser a principal causa de morbilidade e mortalidade em animais vítimas de trauma ou sujeitos a intervenção cirúrgica. A causa das lesões decorrentes, ou da morte consequente, deve-se ao deficit de volume de fluidos intravasculares e subsequente desenvolvimento do estado hipovolémico.O controlo da hipovolémia passa pela resolução da h...

Novel ABCA3 mutations as a cause of respiratory distress in a term newborn

We report here the case of a term female newborn that developed severe respiratory distress soon after birth. She was found to be a compound heterozygote for both novel mutations in the ABCA3 gene. ABCA3 deficiency should be considered in mature babies who develop severe respiratory distress syndrome.

Geochemistry of granitoids of the Lalezar area (Kerman, Iran)

The Lalezar granitoids crop out within the Urumiyeh-Dokhtar Volcanic Belt (U-DVB) which is the largest volcanic belt in Central Iran. These granitoids intrude Eocene volcano-sedimentary rocks and range from gabbrodiorites to granites, with dominance of diorites and tonalites. The mineral composition of the most felsic rocks is characterized by the abundance of Na-plagioclase, quartz, alkali feldspar and biotite...

Hydrodynamic profile of young swimmers: changes over a competitive season

The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in the hydrodynamic profile of young swimmers over a competitive season and to compare the variations according to a well-designed training periodization. Twenty-five swimmers (13 boys and 12 girls) were evaluated in (a) October (M1); (b) March (M2); and (c) June (M3). Inertial and anthropometrical measures included body mass, swimmer’s added water mass, height, an...

Body Fat Percentage Is a Major Determinant of Total Bilirubin Independently of ...

OBJECTIVES: Bilirubin has potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The UGT1A1*28 polymorphism (TA repeats in the promoter region) is a major determinant of bilirubin levels and recent evidence suggests that raised adiposity may also be a contributing factor. We aimed to study the interaction between UGT1A1 polymorphism, hematological and anthropometric variables with total bilirubin levels in you...

Pancitopénia e hiperpigmentação cutânea: uma associação inesperada

A anemia carêncial é uma uma patologia pouco prevalente na sociedade actual, acometendo uma população com características muito específicas. O défice de ácido fólico pode cursar com a rara apresentação de hiperpigmentação, por mecanismos que ainda não estão completamente esclarecidos. Os autores descrevem o caso clínico de um doente com 81 anos de idade, sexo masculino, caucasiano, com antecedentes pessoais de ...
