Both genetic and environmental factors are thought to be causal in gliomagenesis. Several genes have been implicated in glioma development, but the putative role of a major immunity-related gene complex member, immunoglobulin heavy chain γ (IGHG) has not been evaluated. Prior observations that IGHG-encoded γ marker (GM) allotypes exhibit differential sensitivity to an immunoevasion strategy of cytomegalovirus...
Amyloidoses are a group of heterogeneous diseases classified according to the nature of their causative amyloid proteins. Commonly, paraffin-embedded tissue is used for the typing of amyloid by immunohistochemistry. DNA analysis should always be considered if hereditary amyloidosis is suspected. Since the kidneys are one of the organs that are most commonly involved in amyloid deposition in systemic amyloidoses...
BACKGROUND: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) regulates important cellular processes and is frequently implicated in human tumors. Three EGFR polymorphisms have been described as having a transcriptional regulatory function: two single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the essential promoter region, -216G/T and -191C/A, and a polymorphic (CA)(n) microsatellite sequence in intron 1. We aimed to elucidate the...

Classicamente o estudo das bexigas neurogénicas nas Lesões Medulares é recomendado após a fase de choque medular. Por pensar que o Estudo Urodinâmico é fundamental mesmo nesta fase, os autores fizeram um estudo retrospectivo dos doentes internados entre 2001 e 2008 no Serviço de Fisiatria do Hospital de Santo António (a maior parte deles em fase aguda), correlacionando o tipo e o nível de lesão medular com o co...
Avaliou-se o efeito da suplementação de cromo sobre o desempenho e o rendimento de cortes de frangos, mantidos em ambiente de alta temperatura, no período de um a 42 dias de idade. Foram utilizados 400 frangos de corte, machos, da linhagem Cobb, em um delineamento experimental inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos, 0, 350, 700, 1.050 e 1.400ppb de cromo na ração, oito repetições e 10 aves por repetição. ...
Determinou-se a exigência de aminoácidos sulfurados para suínos machos castrados, mantidos em ambiente termoneutro, dos 15 aos 30kg. Utilizaram-se 70 leitões mestiços, distribuídos em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos (0,465; 0,511; 0,558; 0,605 e 0,652% de metionina + cistina digestível), sete repetições e dois animais por repetição. As rações experimentais e a água foram forn...
Craniofacial infection is a major problem for the plastic and neurosurgical team. Previous successful experiences with free muscle and omentum flaps and the galea frontalis myofascial flap have been reported, avoiding disastrous complications after frontofacial advancements and the resection of skull base tumors. The authors report the clinical use of the galea frontalis myofascial flap in the treatment of ante...
