Lateral overload in progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) takes place as hindfoot valgus, peritalar subluxation, and valgus instability of the ankle increase. Fibular strain due to chronic lateral impingement may lead to distraction forces over the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTFS). This study aimed to assess and correlate the severity of the foot and ankle offset (FAO) as a marker of progressive PCFD with the amount of DTFS widening and to compare it to controls.In this case-control study, ...

In this retrospective study, 47 patients with clinical diagnosis of central nervous system metastases of breast cancer were evaluated by computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination. The patients were divided in 2 groups: 1, without leptomeningeal neoplasm and 2, with leptomeningeal neoplasm. In the group 2, the time interval between the primary disease and the central nervous system metastasis as well as the survival time were shorter than ...

Escaping the complement system is an important step in the establishment of infections. Some pathogens have acquired the ability to inactivate the complement system to ensure successful infection. This has been observed in parasites from the genus Leishmania, which inactivate C3b molecules deposited on their surface through the membrane protease GP63. In the present study, we describe a new mechanism that also acts through C3b inactivation. This mechanism involves the binding of the complement regulatory ...

The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) during cultivation is a promising possibility to increase biomass and essential oil yield of medicinal plants. The objective of the present study is to observe the influence of AMFs and fertilization with organic manure (OM) on Melissa officinalis growth, phenols, flavonoids, and on the chemical composition of its essential oil. The treatments were: (+)AMF(-)OM (with fungi and without organic manure), (+)AMF(+)OM (with fungi and with organic manure), (-)AMF(+)OM ( ...

Quantitative data are reported on rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in a cohort of predominantly neurological Wilson's disease (WD). A total of 41 patients with WD and 41 healthy, age- and gender-matched controls were studied by conducting face-to-face interviews, neurological and clinical examinations, laboratory tests, and WD- and RBD-specific scales. Video-polysomnography and quantification of REM sleep without atonia (RWA) were conducted in 35 patients and 41 controls. Patients ...

Animal models are widely used in scientific research in order to obtain information from a whole organism under a specific set of experimental conditions. Various lineages of mice have been used to investigate diseases and new therapeutic strategies, and, consequently, hematological and biochemical tests in these laboratory animals are essential to validate scientific studies. Our study seeks to establish reference values for hematological and biochemical parameters of four lineages of mice.

Abstract Background Corynebacterium ulcerans has been detected as a commensal in domestic and wild animals that may serve as reservoirs for zoonotic infections. During the last decade, the frequency and severity of human infections associated with C. ulcerans appear to be increasing in various countries. As the knowledge of genes contributing to the virulence of this bacterium was very limited, the complete genome sequences of two C. ulcerans strains detected in the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro ...

Summary The objective of this work was to evaluate the selection of immature bovine oocytes by brilliant cresyl blue dye (BCB) and expression of transcripts MATER and ZAR1. Cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) from slaughterhouse ovaries were exposed to BCB diluted in mDPBS and incubated for 60 min at 38.5 °C in humidified air. After exposure those COCs were distributed in two groups, according to their cytoplasm colour: BCB + (coloured cytoplasm) or BCB − (colourless cytoplasm). The control group was submitted ...

This study compared the effect of adding other cholesterol conjugates, which should incorporate into and increase sperm membrane fluidity at low temperatures thereby increasing cryosurvival. Ejaculates from each of four bulls were diluted to 120 million cells/ml in a Tris diluent and used in two experiments. Each experiment contained four treatments: No additive (control); 1.5 mg CLC/120 million sperm (positive control); and 1.5 mg cyclodextrin pre-loaded with cholestanol or desmosterol/120 million ...

We show that the analyses of the processes $pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\ell}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\ell}}^{\ensuremath{'}\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{E\ensuremath{\llap{\not\;}}}}_{T}$, ${\ensuremath{\ ...

We study the potential of the CERN large hadron collider to probe the spin of new massive vector boson resonances predicted by Higgsless models. We consider its production via weak boson fusion which relies only on the coupling between the new resonances and the weak gauge bosons. We show that the large hadron collider will be able to unravel the spin of the particles associated with the partial restoration of unitarity in vector boson scattering for integrated luminosities of $150--560\text{ }\text{ }{\ ...

As interactions between bacteria and macrophages dictate the outcome of most infectious diseases, analyses of molecular mechanisms of non-opsonic phagocytosis should lead to new approaches for the prevention of diphtheria and systemic Corynebacterium diphtheriae infections. The present study aimed to evaluate human macrophage–bacteria interactions in the absence of opsonin antibodies and the influence of the tox gene on this process. Homologous C. diphtheriae tox+ and tox– strains were evaluated ...

At hadron colliders, the search for R-parity violating supersymmetry can probe scalar masses beyond what is covered by pair production processes. We evaluate the next-to-leading order SUSY-QCD corrections to the associated stop or sbottom production with a lepton through R-parity violating interactions. We show that higher order corrections render the theoretical predictions more stable with respect to variations of the renormalization and factorization scales and that the total cross section is ...

Abstract From a genomic library enriched for AG/TC repeats, eight polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for Ceiba pentandra , a pan‐tropical forest tree. Polymorphism was evaluated using a panel of 74 adult trees. Using automated fluorescence detection, a total of 112 alleles was detected with an average of 14 alleles per locus. All microsatellite loci showed very high levels of genetic information content, with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.814 to 0.895. These microsatellite ...
