BACKGROUND We have previously demonstrated that both coming from a rural background and spending a year-long clinical rotation in our Rural Clinical School (RCS) have independent and additive effects to increase the likelihood of medical students practicing rurally following graduation. The current study assesses the extent to which medical school selection criteria and/or the socio-demographic...

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation Apparent neoplasm of the clavicle of a dialysis patient, ultimately revealed as tuberculosis

the formation of epidermal cysts which ultimately undergo destruction (3, 4). Application of @2Omethyicholanthrene to the epidermis of young adult mice previous to transplantation stimulated epithelial growth in cutaneous and subcutaneous grafts made from skin thus treated. These grafts were likewise destroyed, unless the epithelium had, in the course of painting, acquired neoplastic properties...

The construction of a democratic, universal and integrated health service for the entire Brazilian population is one of the key principles of Brazil’s Unified National Health System (SUS Sistema Único de Saúde). Within this perspective, several strategies that include territorial and epidemiology-based planning, health surveillance programs, effective financial management and regulation policie...

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a heritable form of mental retardation caused by a non-coding trinucleotide expansion of the FMR1 gene leading to loss of expression of this RNA binding protein. Mutations in this gene are strongly linked to enhanced Group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) signaling. A recent report found that mGluR5-dependent endogenous cannabinoid signaling is enhanced in h...

Consider a non-standard numeration system like the one built over the Fibonacci sequence where nonnegative integers are represented by words over {0, 1} without two consecutive 1. Given a set X of integers such that the language of their greedy representations in this system is accepted by a finite automaton, we consider the problem of deciding whether or not X is a finite union of arithmetic p...
