We report the case of a 12-year-old girl presenting at birth with erythroderma, erosions and blisters scattered over the integument. By the age of 3 she presented generalized hyperkeratotic plaques with a cobblestone pattern and a pungent odour, most prominently around flexures, scalp and palmoplantar areas. Clinical, histological and ultrastructural findings confirmed the diagnosis of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK). Molecular genetic analysis revealed a mutation in the KRT10 gene. Treatment ...

Isoprene is a key intermediate compound for the production of synthetic rubber and adhesives and is also used as a building block in the chemical industry. Traditionally, isoprene is obtained from crude oil during the refinery process. Nevertheless, plants and animals are also able to synthesize this important compound. This work compares two renewable approaches for isoprene production: by photosynthetic organisms (autotrophic microalgae/cyanobacteria) and by heterotrophic organisms (bacteria). These ...

The establishment of the range of soil biodiversity found within European soils is needed to guide EU policy development regarding the protection of soil. Such a base-line should be collated from a wide-ranging sampling campaign to ensure that soil biodiversity from the majority of soil types, land-use or management systems, and European climatic (bio-geographical zones) were included. This paper reports the design and testing of a method to achieve the large scale sampling associated with the establishment ...

Many essential oils (EOs) of different plant species possess interesting antimicrobial effects on buccal microorganisms and cytotoxic properties. EOs of Kielmeyera coriacea Mart. & Zucc. were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The EO from leaves is rich in sesquiterpenes hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The three major compounds identified were germacrene-D (24.2%), (E)-caryophyllene (15.5%), and bicyclogermacrene (11.6%). The inner bark EO is composed mainly ...

Semiempirical valence bond calculations based on a modified LEPS method which have been reported previously for the potential energy surfaces of the homonuclear alkali trimers are now extended to the M′M 2 systems (M′, M = Li through Cs). The force constants and vibrational frequencies to stretching and bending of the optimal C 2v structures for the trimers have been calculated, and the geometries of such structures rationalized on the basis of Walsh-type diagrams. With basis on the simple molecular ...

The remediation of contaminated sites supports the goal of sustainable development but may also have environmental impacts at a local, regional and global scale. Life cycle assessment (LCA) has increasingly been used in order to support site remediation decision-making. This review article discusses existing LCA methods and proposed models focusing on critical decisions and assumptions of the LCA application to site remediation activities. It is concluded that LCA has limitations as an adequate holistic ...

ABSTRACT The emergence of resistance to antiretroviral drugs is a major obstacle to the successful treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients. In this work, we correlate clinical and virological trends such as viral load (VL) and CD4 counts to genotypic and phenotypic antiretroviral (ARV) resistance profiles of HIV-1 isolates from the B and non-B subtypes found in vertically infected children failing ARV therapy. Plasma samples were collected from 52 vertically HIV-1- ...

The RADP (Random amplified polymorphic DNA) technique was used to detect tissue-culture-induced variations in sugarcane. Plants of the Brazilian variety RB83-5486 propagated via rhizomes and via meristem cultures were studied. The polymorphism rate for 98 RAPD loci was 6.93% when the plants derived from meristems. Besides, in order to evaluate the influence of the number of subcultures on the generation of somaclonal variation, field-grown RB83-5486 plants derived from 10 meristems were studied after ...

Global warming is thought to be caused mainly by the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), with thermoelectric power plants being responsible for about 7% of global CO2 emissions. Microalgae can reduce CO2 emissions from thermoelectric power plants, but for this use, they must be resistant to the mixture of gases produced by the power plants. We isolated the microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus and Chlorella kessleri from the waste treatment ponds of the Presidente Médici coal fired thermoelectric power plant ...

Uranium in sulfuric acid medium is selectively extracted by tertiary amine. Uranium stripping from the loaded solvent (tertiary amine) can be carried out by many salt and acid solutions. The stripping agent choice depends on several factors, such as organic composition and economic viability. In the present work, the uranium stripping by (NH4)2SO4 was investigated in order to substitute the NaCl used in the production of uranium concentrate by “Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil (INB)”.
