The aim of this research was to quantify essential trace elements (iron, copper, zinc and iodine) and establish their speciation in human milk. Both the element and the species are important in new-born nutrition. Colostrum, and transitional and mature milks (25) were collected from 18 mothers of pre-term or full-term infants. Concentrations of the target elements were determined using ICP-MS. For speciation, HPLC coupled to ICP-MS was employed. Total contents of the micronutrients varied in mothers ...

Fuel ethanol fermentation process is a complex environment with an intensive succession of yeast strains. The population stability depends on the use of a well-adapted strain that can fit to a particular industrial plant. This stability helps to keep high level of ethanol yield and it is absolutely required when intending to use recombinant strains. Yeast strains have been previously isolated from different distilleries in Northeast Brazil and clustered in genetic strains by PCR-fingerprinting. ...

Proximal humerus fractures are frequent, and several studies show low diagnostic agreement among the observers, as well as an inaccurate classification of these lesions. The divergences are generally correlated with the experience of the surgeons as well as the diagnostic methods used. This paper challenges these problems including alternative diagnostic methods such as 3D models and augmented reality (holography) and including the observers' period of medical experience as a factor.Twenty orthopedists ( ...

This study evaluated the antiulcer activity of an ethanolic extract of Encholirium spectabile (ES-EtOH) by using different standard experimental models of induced acute gastric ulceration. ES-EtOH (100 mg/kg p.o) protected the gastric mucosa against ulceration that was induced by absolute ethanol (53%), ethanol/HCl (75%), ibuprofen (52 %) and ischemia/reperfusion (43 %). It also restored catalase activity and non-protein sulfhydryl group concentration in the gastric wall of mice that had been treated with ethanol. ...

Studies addressing the management of intramedullary infection are mainly retrospective and with a limited number of cases. Reaming can be performed using either conventional reaming or using the reamer/irrigator/aspirator (RIA) system. Until now there have been no comparative prospective studies between these two methods. We aimed to compare the efficacy of RIA with conventional reaming followed by insertion of antibiotic-loaded cement, for the treatment of intramedullary nail infection of long bones. ...

However, both continue to be identified as two distinct species and are enumerated in the threatened species list. The goal of this study was to compare the reproductive biology of sympatric populations of these two morphs so as to identify morphological characters and mechanisms of reproductive isolation that could help to clarify species boundaries.

Open tibial shaft fractures present a challenge to the orthopedic surgeon, because they are common, have a high rate of complications and still have a controversial treatment. As a result of the high incidence of these fractures, the need of a definitive treatment and the unavailability of the intramedullary nail or a well-trained team, we developed this study to compare the effectiveness of the bridge-plating (BP) with the unreamed intramedullary nail (UIMN) in the treatment of open tibial shaft ...

‘Genomic design’ refers to the structural organization of gene sequences. Recently, the role of intron sequences for gene regulation is being better understood. Further, introns possess high rates of polymorphism that are considered as the major source for speciation. In molecular breeding, the length of gene‐specific introns is recognized as a tool to discriminate genotypes with diverse traits of agronomic interest. ‘Economy selection’ and ‘time‐economy selection’ have been proposed as models for ...
