Background and Objective: Determination of hormone receptor status in the management of breast cancer is well-established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of androgen receptor (AR) expression in invasive ductal carcinoma of breast. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 55 cases of invasive ductal breast carcinoma were examined using a monoclonal antibody against AR on...

The Arabidopsis NPR1 gene was previously shown to be required for the salicylic acid (SA)- and benzothiadiazole (BTH)-induced expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes and systemic acquired resistance. The dominant ssi1 (for suppressor of SA insensitivity) mutation characterized in this study defines a new component of the SA signal transduction pathway that bypasses the requirement of NPR1...

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of acute bronchitis, rhinitis, and sinusitis among children and adolescents and identify associated factors. METHODS This is a population-based, cross-sectional study. A household survey was conducted with 1,185 children and adolescents from the city of São Paulo (Southeastern Brazil), from 2008 to 2009. The participants were selected by means of probability...

Pr0.5Ca0.5CoO3 exhibits a non-conventional metal-insulator transition (MIT) in which the insulating state is due to a volume contraction (~2%) and electron transfer from Pr to Co sites. Pr1-xCaxCoO3 cobaltites with Ca doping around x 0.5 (0.45≤x≤0.55) have been investigated. Different ground states and phase transitions are reported in samples at both sides of the half-doped composition. The re...

The reaction of (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co(PPh(3))(2) with 1,3-bis(isopropyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (Im(i)Pr(2)) leads to the formation of (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co(PPh(3))(Im(i)Pr(2)). In a similar fashion (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co(Im(i)Pr(2))(CO) is formed from (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co(CO)(2). The barrier to rotation about the Co-C(carbene) bond in the latter complex has been determined by variable-temperature (1)H NMR spectros...

purpose to verify whether active recovery (ar) applied after a kickboxing match resulted in better performance in anaerobic tests when compared to passive recovery (pr). methods eighteen kickboxers volunteered to participate on a kickboxing match preceded and followed by anaerobic tests: squat jump (sj), the counter movement jump (cmj) and the upper-body wingate test. blood lactate (bl), heart ...

1 pi − 2 j+1 > 7pr − 4pr > pr . If r is odd, set nk = ∏r1 pi − 2k+1. Then nk ≡ 3(4) (since 32 ≡ 1(4)). But no pi divides nk for 1 ≤ i ≤ r , so the integer nk has some prime factor qk ≡ 3(4) with qk > pr . If j = k, say j > k, the assumption that qk also divides n j leads to the same contradiction as earlier: since nk − n j = 2 j+1 − 2k+1 = 2k+1(2 j−k − 1), we have qk | 2 j−k − 1 and hence qk < ...

This article aims to describe and analyze reporting of violence against children from 0 to 9 years of age, issued by the public health services, in Brazil. Data from the Violence and Accident Surveillance System (Viva-SINAN) were used. The frequency of selected variables was calculated by age group (0-1; 2-5 and 6-9 years of age) as well as their Prevalence Ratios (PR). 17.900 cases were report...
