Introduction The sources of Reactive Oxidative Species (ROS) in the organism are the respiratory processes occurring in cells catalyzed by different enzymes. Operation of ROS is balanced by antioxidants, the compounds; although present in low concentrations, they significantly inhibit the degree of oxidation of particular molecules. The Aim of the Study The aim of this study was to assess the...

BACKGROUND Recognized outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease (LD) are rare; when they occur, they provide opportunities to understand the epidemiology of the illness and improve prevention strategies. We investigated a population-based outbreak. METHODS After the confirmation of LD in October 1996 in five people in neighbouring towns in southwest Virginia, active surveillance for additional cases...

In-utero intestinal volvulus is a rare but potential life threatening foetal complications. It is a surgical emergency and delay in diagnosis or treatment can increase the morbidity and mortality to the foetus. We report a case of mild foetal bowel dilatation diagnosed at 21 weeks of gestation. She was closely follow up and at 31 weeks of gestation, in-utero intestinal volvulus was diagnosed wi...

Knowledge was traditionally held to be justified true belief. This paper examines the implications of maintaining this view if justication is interpreted algorithmically. It is argued that if we move sufficiently far from the small worlds to which Bayesian decision theory properly applies, we can steer between the rock of fallibilism and the whirlpool of skepticism only by explicitly building i...

Twelve cases of legionellosis in the small town of Lorquin, district of Moselle, northeast France, were identified by the local health authority in charge of legionellosis surveillance in September 2006. All patients had pneumonia. Eleven tested positive for urinary antigen, indicating a Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 infection, two also had positive cultures, and one was diagnosed by a pos...

The purpose of this pictorial review is both to demonstrate newly described conditions such as whirlpool sign, fibrosis, benign testicular lobulation, and effect of hydrocele on the testis and to scrutinize usual and unusual scrotal abnormalities to bring the reader up to date. The use of ultrasonography will give the correct diagnosis in most conditions providing that it is used appropriately....

OBJECTIVES To examine the effectiveness of four interventions on the rate and magnitude of muscle damage recovery, as measured by creatine kinase (CK). METHODS 23 elite male rugby players were monitored transdermally before, immediately after, 36 hours after, and 84 hours after competitive rugby matches. Players were randomly assigned to complete one of four post-match strategies: contrast wa...

Collective motion of self-sustained swarming flows has recently provided examples of small-scale turbulence arising where viscous effects are dominant. We report the first observation of universal enstrophy cascade in concentrated swarming sperm consistent with a body of evidence built from various independent measurements. We found a well-defined k^{-3} power-law decay of a velocity field powe...

The present work aims to report the importance of physiotherapy in rehabilitation process elderly people with sequelae stroke, a disease that is responsible for many deaths and leaves sequels. Physiotherapy after stroke should start as soon possible, faster patient stimulated, his recovery will be, view improving quality life recovering lost movements. It be used various physiotherapeutic techn...

Mycobacteria in drinking water and the of swimming pools, whirlpools, hydrotherapy facilities aquaria contribute significantly to human exposure triggers immune regulated chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Technological elements distribution systems, especially their inner surface, taps, shower heads blind spots where sediments settle, affect number mycobacteria water. The review present...
