Introdução: Os acidentes por animais peçonhentos são um problema mundial, principalmente em países com regiões tropicais e subtropicais, alto índice de morbidade mortalidade. No Brasil, há quatro tipos ofídicos interesse saúde: botrópico, crotálico, laquético elapídico. O acidente mais comum no país, é causado serpentes dos gêneros Bothrops Bothrocophias. pelas cascavéis, as quais identificadas...

The use of autogenous bone grafts is considered to be the best choice for reconstructive surgery. In the periodontal literature, the utilization of osseous coagulum was suggested by the end of the sixties. The purpose of this study is to consider the use of bone collectors (bone traps) as an alternative method for obtaining material to fill small bone imperfections, such as fenestrations and de...

Abundances of LLE (Li, B, Be) are strongly zoned in augite grains of the NWA 817 nakhlite [1,2]. Be and B consistently increase to grain rims (like Fe* and Ti), consistent with their geochemical behavior as incompatible elements. Li abundances increase outward in some rims, but decrease significantly in others. The cause of this bipolar behavior is not clear. LLE are not zoned in augites in the...

A human Japanese encephalitis (JE) case is considered to have elevated temperature (over 380 C) along with altered consciousness or unconsciousness and is generally confirmed serologically by finding of specific anti-JE IgM in the cerebro spinal fluid. No specific treatment for JE is available. Only supportive treatment like meticulous nursing care, introduction of Ryle's tube if the patient is...

The microbiological quality and skin appearance of poultry carcasses were determined after acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide spray. Acetic acid at 1% concentrations showed a significant effect(P<0.05)in reducing total mesophilic bacteria count, total coli form count, Escherichia coli count and Staphylococcus aureus count when compared with a sample without treatment,10.50x10 3 ,1.03x10 3 ,7.5x1...

One of the latest techniques that used in recent decade to rapid detection of pathogenic agent in water and food is chromogenic media. These media are very specific and their component act as substrate for specific enzyme and depending on enzyme exhibit special color. This study is an introduction to chromogenic media as a powerful tool to rapid identification of bacterial and fungal agent in w...

31 32 In total 14 strains of gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from Sophora 33 longicarinata and Sophora microphylla root nodules and authenticated as rhizobia on these 34 hosts. Based on the 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, they were shown to belong to the genus 35 Mesorhizobium, and the S. longicarinata strains were most closely related to Mesorhizobium 36 amorphae ACCC 19665 (99.8 – 9...

Rationale: Several cellular and molecular alterations have been described in skeletal and respiratory muscles of patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), but information on potential abnormalities of mitochondrial function is scarce. Objective: To study mitochondrial function in the Vastus Lateralis (VL) and External Intercostalis (EI) of COPD patients. Methods: Biopsies from VL a...
