Genetic and molecular studies have identified two different sodium channel genes in Drosophila, para and DSC1. The functional contributions of the para-encoded channel have been inferred from analysis of mutant phenotypes. However, no mutations of DSC1 have been identified, so the in vivo functions of the channel it encodes are not yet known. To learn more about the possible functions of DSC1 i...

OBJECTIVE to analyze the feasibility of quality indicators for evaluation of hospital programs for preventing occupational tuberculosis. METHOD a descriptive cross-sectional study. We tested indicators for evaluating occupational tuberculosis prevention programs in six hospitals. The criterion to define feasibility was the time spent to calculate the indicators. RESULTS time spent to evalua...

Para examinar el concepto de Desarrollo Sostenible, debemos enmarcarlo dentro del fenómeno de la Globalización. También es necesario tener en cuenta algunos de sus antecedentes teóricos y críticas recibidas, así como las causas más importantes que justifican su aparición. Igualmente debemos prepararnos para una reflexión futura sobre participación, cambio de valores, consumismo, y para el previ...

In this article, the aim is to introduce a para-Sasakian manifold with a canonical paracontact connection. It is shown that φ−conharmonically flat , φ−W2 flat and φ−pseudo projectively flat para-Sasakian manifolds with respect to canonical paracontact connection are all η−Einstein manifolds. Also, we prove that quasi-pseudo projectively flat para-Sasakian manifolds are of constant scalar curvat...

OBJECTIVES to develop and assess a serious game on healthy eating and physical activity to promote health and tackle childhood obesity. METHOD a descriptive, applied and methodological study.For the development of the game, the following steps were taken: conceptualization, pre-production with the development of the game documentation, prototyping, production and assessment of thecomputer and...

Objective: describing the changes in frailty conditions over the period of a year after hospital discharge, verifying predictive variables for changes in frailty conditions and frailty phenotype components according to worsening, improving and stable groups. Method: a longitudinal survey carried out with 129 elderly. A structured form for socioeconomic and health data, scales (Geriatric Depre...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to demonstrate the techiniqes of single-port laparoscopic transperitoneal infrarenal paraaortic lymphadenectomy as part of surgical staging procedure in case of early ovarian cancer and high grade endometrial cancer. METHODS After left upper traction of rectosigmoid, a peritoneal incision was made caudad to inferior mesenteric artery. Rectosigmoid was mobil...

Este artigo descreve de maneira um tanto pessoal, o uso da espectroscopia de ressonância paramagnética eletrônica (EPR), incluindo EPR de alta freqüência e alto campo (HFEPR) para investigar a estrutura eletrônica de complexos de íons de metal de transição. Os parâmetros Hamiltonianos de spin, obtidos a partir de experimentos EPR, matriz g para sistemas com S =1/2 e matrizes g e D (zero-field s...

Este trabalho descreve nosso esforço em heterogeneizar catalisadores para epoxidação. Tanto o molibdênio ancorado quanto o engaiolado pelo método de sol-gel mostraram grande seletividade, mas possuem suas atividades fortemente reduzidas. Por outro lado, silicatos de molibdênio foram muito ativos e estáveis até a formação de diols na mistura reacional. Catalisadores heterogeneizados de rênio for...
