This study investigates the relationships among Ni, Cd and Pb's different chemical forms determined by different methodologies in coastal and transitional waters across a broad geographical scale. Concentrations were measured in spot samples and through passive sampling (DGT). High variability of metal concentrations was found among sampling sites and methodologies due to natural water fluctuations rather than to a given metal or method. Total dissolved metal concentrations in spot samples were lower ...

Cerebral toxoplasmosis is the most common cause of space occupying brain lesion in patients with HIV/AIDS in Brazil. In the post-HAART era, it is responsible for high rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study consists of a case series of 56 patients diagnosed with cerebral toxoplasmosis whose clinical features, brain imaging and cerebrospinal fluid aspects were analyzed. Cerebral toxoplasmosis led to the diagnosis of infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 27 (48.2%) of ...

A double-blind clinical trial involving 120 patients with chronic schistosomiasis was carried out to compare the tolerability and efficacy of praziquantel and oxamniquine. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups. One was treated with praziquantel, 55 mg/kg of body weight CBWT), and the other one with oxamniquine, 15mg/kg bwt, administered in a single oral dose. The diagnosis and the parasitological follow-up was based on stool examinations by quantitative Kato-Katz method and on rectal ...

The use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) structural elements, including glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded profiles, has increased in the last few decades. The high potential of these materials for civil engineering structural applications, particularly for footbridges, stems from their high strength, low self-weight and good durability. However, when designing GFRP structures, the high deformability and the susceptibility to instability phenomena seldom allow the full exploitation of ...

Background: Intestinal barrier disruption followed by bacterial translocation seems to play a role in secondary pancreatic infection in acute pancreatitis. The use of probiotics as a possible adjuvant strategy in the treatment of acute pancreatitis needs to be investigated.

In the context of fatigue evaluation of riveted railway bridges, cross-girder to main beam connections are frequently critical details. Secondary effects, such as out-of-plane bending and dynamic amplifications due to the proximity to loading paths which in the case of old bridges were not taken into account in the original design, may lead to severe increase of fatigue damage. The fatigue assessment of old riveted railway bridges has been addressed in the last years by developing local models of ...

Our purpose was to analyze the effect of a nutritionally balanced (NB) diet and a diet containing pork fat (PF) as source of lipids on the lipid profile of rats submitted to splenic surgery. Sixty adult male Wistar rats were divided into six groups of 10 animals each: 1 sham‐operated, NB diet; 2 sham‐operated, PF diet; 3 total splenectomy (TS), NB diet; 4 TS, PF diet; ...

Stress is inevitably linked to life. It has many and complex facets. Notably, perception of stressful stimuli is an important factor when mounting stress responses and measuring its impact. Indeed, moved by the increasing number of stress-triggered pathologies, several groups drew on advanced neuroimaging techniques to explore stress effects on the brain. From that, several regions and circuits have been linked to stress, and a comprehensive integration of the distinct findings applied to common ...

A 78-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a pancreatic tumor, incidentally discovered in an abdominal ultrasound exam. She was asymptomatic and without any previous personal pathological condition. The computed tomography (CT) and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed a mass lesion of 4 cm in diameter, located in the pancreatic body, conditioning the invasion of the splenic vein. The patient was admitted to surgery. During the laparotomy, we found a tumoral lesion highly suspicious ...
