Foram estudados 78 casos de pacientes com câncer gástrico, entre janeiro 81 e dezembro 84 no Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCa), Rio Janeiro, Brasil. Dados morfologia, patologia, epidemiologia correlações clínicas foram avaliados.

The draft genome sequences of two clonal, pandrug-resistant Serratia marcescens clinical isolates were determined. The resistance phenotype was plasmid driven, as 14 of 17 resistance genes were present on large IncFIB(K), IncHI2, and IncA/C2 plasmids indicating a large pool of transmissible antibiotic resistance genes.

We report here the draft genome sequence of the first NDM-1-producing Providencia stuartii strain isolated in Portugal. Sequence analyses revealed the presence of an incompatibility group A/C2 (IncA/C2) plasmid and of diverse acquired genes conferring resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, tetracycline, macrolides, chloramphenicol, and sulfonamides. This sequence contributes to the evaluatio...

The citadel of Machupicchu is probably the most famous Inca heritage site in Peru. Considering the seismically active region, this research is an attempt to perform a seismic risk analysis of the heritage structures at Machupicchu. A systematic approach is adopted for this purpose. Characteristic seismicity of the region, where these historical constructions are located, is discussed based on t...
