Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra Linnaeus, 1758) are present in a wide range of aquatic environments. Salmonella isolates have been obtained from otters at rehabilitation centers and in the wild and are sometimes associated with serious illnesses. Antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella were isolated from otter fecal samples collected in March 2006, September 2007, and March 2008 in two river basins in southern Portugal. From 67 samples tested, five were positive for Salmonella (7.58%). None of the isolates ...

Background: To estimate labeled sun protection factor (SPF) for sunscreen, the amount of product applied on volunteers, according to food and drug administration (FDA) and International protocols, is 2 mg/cm 2 . However, different studies have shown that consumers actually apply much less product when exposed to the sun. Previous studies have reported contradictory findings in an attempt to correlate the amount applied in relation to SPF. The objective of the present study was to estimate the influence ...

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus has led to a growing number of chronic complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN). In addition to its high prevalence, DN is associated with high morbidity and mortality especially due to cardiovascular diseases. It is well established that genetic factors play a role in the pathogenesis of DN and genetically susceptible individuals can develop it after being exposed to environmental factors. DN is probably a complex, polygenic disease. Two main ...

Alphabetic orthographies differ in the transparency of their letter-sound mappings, with English orthography being less transparent than other alphabetic scripts. The outlier status of English has led scientists to question the generality of findings based on English-language studies. We investigated the role of phonological awareness, memory, vocabulary, rapid naming, and nonverbal intelligence in reading performance across five languages lying at differing positions along a transparency continuum ( ...

Transthyretin (TTR) is a carrier protein involved in human amyloidosis. The development of small molecules that may act as TTR amyloid inhibitors is a promising strategy to treat these pathologies. Here we selected and characterized the interaction of flavonoids with the wild type and the V30M amyloidogenic mutant TTR. TTR acid aggregation was evaluated in vitro in the presence of the different flavonoids. The best TTR aggregation inhibitors were studied by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) in ...

The administration of organic NO donors could have beneficial effects by the NO-cGMP reposition, but there is the risk of sympathetic nervous system worsening by neuro-hormonal counter-regulation.

We identified studies investigating the effect of dietary lipids (type/amount) on adiponectin concentrations in a systematic review with meta-analysis. A literature search was conducted until July 2013 using databases such as Medline, Embase and Scopus (MeSH terms: 'adiponectin', 'dietary lipid', 'randomized controlled trials (RCT)').

Adiponectin is a major regulator of glucose and lipid homeostasis by its insulin sensitizer properties. Since decreased insulin sensitivity is linked to metabolic syndrome (MS), decreased adiponectin levels may be related to its development. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between adiponectin levels and MS.Firstly, we cross-sectionally examined subjects with or without MS submitted to an oral glucose tolerance test at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (n = 172).

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) accounts for 5-10% of all urothelial tumours. It is mostly diagnosed at advanced stages, entailing a worse prognosis, owing to the lack of early and specific symptoms as well as of effective diagnostic tools. We previously identified a panel of epigenetic biomarkers (GDF15, TMEFF2 and VIM promoter methylation) that accurately identifies bladder cancer in urine. Herein, we assessed the performance of the same panel for UTUC detection and prognosis, in tissue ...

The mesoscopic structure of 30 distinct ionic liquids was probed by 129Xe NMR spectroscopy. The interpretation of the experimental data was complemented using molecular dynamics results. The results clearly show that xenon can effectively probe the various environments characteristic of different ionic liquids (ILs) and is thus able to distinguish between distinct ionic liquid families, including different types of interactions with diverse types of anion/polar networks. A finer analysis of the NMR ...

In the present work, electroencephalogram (EEG) markers (power spectral density and spectral coherence) of age-related cognitive decline were sought whilst the subjects performed the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Considering the expected age-related cognitive deficits, WCST was applied to young, mid-age and elderly participants, and the theta and ...

As a new material for polymeric dressings, films of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) blended with esterified alginate (ALG‐e) and poly(ethyleneglycol) was studied. The esterification of sodium alginate (ALG‐e) generated a material with some amphiphilic characteristics and increased compatibility with the ...
