ABSTRACT A new mouth breeder species of Gymnogeophagus is described from a tributary of the río Uruguay. It is distinguished from most species of the genus by the presence of hypertrophied lips, and from G. labiatus and G. pseudolabiatus by the color pattern. The presence of successive allopatric species of the Gymnogeophagus gymnogenys clade inhabiting the tributaries of the río Uruguay is discussed.

Prior reports show that nebulized lidocaine might be an effective treatment for asthma.We sought to determine the anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic effects of lidocaine and its analogue, JMF2-1, which we have synthesized for reduced local anesthetic activity.Blockade of Na(+) currents was assayed in cultured GH(3) cells by using the patch-clamp technique, whereas anesthesia was assessed in a cutaneous pinching test in rats. Lidocaine and its analogue were nebulized into sensitized rats for evaluation ...

ABSTRACT Purpose:: Lower average values of bond strength of adhesive systems to enamel bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide agents have been reported, but the effects of higher concentrations of carbamide peroxide bleaching agents are still unknown. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of enamel treated with different concentrations of carbamide peroxide to an adhesive system after a postbleaching period of storage in artificial saliva for 15 days. Materials and ...

Lobbying is a fact of public life in all countries. It has the potential to promote democratic participation and can provide decision makers with valuable insights, as well as facilitate stakeholder access to public policy development and implementation. Yet, lobbying is often perceived as an opaque activity of dubious integrity, which may result in undue influence by special interests, unfair competition and regulatory capture at the expense of fair, impartial and effective policy making. There ...

We studied whether mean industry multiples are similar in Brazil and in the United States. Using multilevel models (hierarchical linear model and additive crossed random-effects model), we concluded that there exists significant variability within firms from the same industry and significant variability between countries (Brazil and United States). The same tests were applied to firms grouped in clusters by similarity of economic fundamentals and we concluded that part of the variability shifts from ( ...

Developed by the OECD, the Classification of the Functions of Government (COFOG) classifies government expenditure data from the System of National Accounts by the purpose for which the funds are used. As illustrates, first-level COFOG splits expenditure data into ten functional groups or sub-sectors of expenditures (such as economic affairs, education and social protection), and second-level COFOG further splits each first-level group into up to nine sub-groups. While first-level COFOG data are available ...

Solubility of methane in water and in an aqueous growth medium for the cultivation of methanotrophs bacteria was determined over the temperature range 293.15 to 323.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. The measurements were carried out in a Ben-Naim/Baer type apparatus with a precision of about ±0.3%. The experimental results were determined using accurate thermodynamic relations. The mole fractions of the dissolved gas at the gas partial pressure of 101.325 kPa, the Henry coefficients at the water ...

Anthropogenic sounds have spread across the biosphere, with threats from individual welfare to ecosystem health. Sounds are important to animals in both terrestrial and aquatic environments and detrimental effects have been shown across a wide range of taxa. Despite the ever-growing transformation of coastal lands by human activities, pollutant effects of sounds that propagate from land into coastal water (across realms) have been largely overlooked. We here show that the Brazilian carnival of Salvador, ...

Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are the most widely used herbicide for treatment of crops in the world. The digestive tract is one of the first systems exposed to pesticides, and damage to this system can affect the general health of individuals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of subchronic inhalation and oral exposure to GBH on the digestive tract in rats. Six groups of Wistar rats (male and female) were exposed to nebulization with three concentrations of GBH [3.71 × 10-3 grams ...

ABSTRACT Bartonella spp. comprise an ecologically successful group of microorganisms that infect erythrocytes and have adapted to different hosts, which include a wide range of mammals, besides humans. Rodents are reservoirs of about two-thirds of Bartonella spp. described to date; and some of them have been implicated as causative agents of human diseases. In our study, we performed molecular and phylogenetic analyses of Bartonella spp. infecting wild rodents from five different Brazilian biomes. ...

1 Because in ischaemia there is a critical lack of O2, it has been reasoned that increasing O2 delivery to the ischaemic myocardium could serve as adjunctive therapy for acute myocardial infarction (MI). Accordingly, in the present study, the effect of early hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on mortality and MI size after coronary occlusion was examined in rats. 2 After coronary occlusion, male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to receive either HBO for 1 h in a hyperbaric chamber (100% O2 at 253 kPa; ...

A bstract : Thymocytes undergo a complex process of differentiation, largely dependent on interactions with the thymic microenvironment, a tridimensional cellular network formed by epithelial cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and fibroblasts. One key cellular interaction involves the TCR‐CD3 complex expressed by thymocytes with MHC‐peptide complexes present on microenvironmental cells. Additionally, thymic epithelial cells (TEC) interact with thymocytes via soluble polypeptides such as thymic hormones ...

Abstract Intraocular inflammatory diseases are a common cause of severe visual impairment and blindness. In this study, we investigated the immunoregulatory role of galectin-1 (Gal-1), an endogenous lectin found at sites of T cell activation and immune privilege, in experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), a Th1-mediated model of retinal disease. Treatment with rGal-1 either early or late during the course of interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein-induced EAU was sufficient to suppress ocular pathology, ...
