Niche sharing reflects a poorly understood biodiversity phenomenon
Eucalyptus spp. are susceptible to a large number of foliar pathogens, some of which can cause serious defoliation and die-back. In this study, a single leaf spot on a Eucalyptus leaf collected in Madagascar revealed an unusual association of microfungi with disease symptoms. Initial observations indicated that the leaf spot was associated with Mycosphaerella marksii, a common pathogen of eucal...
متن کاملLeft ventricular failure produces profound lung remodeling and pulmonary hypertension in mice: heart failure causes severe lung disease.
Chronic left ventricular failure causes pulmonary congestion with increased lung weight and type 2 pulmonary hypertension. Understanding the molecular mechanisms for type 2 pulmonary hypertension and the development of novel treatments for this condition requires a robust experimental animal model and a good understanding of the nature of the resultant pulmonary remodeling. Here we demonstrate ...
متن کاملNephrogenic ascites: a poorly understood syndrome.
Nephrogenic ascites is a condition characterized by the presence of massive ascites in a patient with ESRD. Neither the exact cause nor the pathogenesis of ascites formation is clearly understood. Patients frequently present with hypertension, moderate to massive ascites, minimal extremity edema, cachexia, and a history of dialysis-associated hypotension. The ascitic fluid is typically an exuda...
متن کاملBronchiectasis: an orphan disease with a poorly-understood prognosis.
The prognosis and risk factors for bronchiectasis are at present poorly known. The aim of this study was to examine the long-term prognosis and cause of death in this disease. The National Hospital Discharge Register was used to search for patients aged 35-74 yrs, with newly-diagnosed bronchiectasis in the period 1982-1986. Each of the 842 patients identified was matched with an asthmatic patie...
متن کاملRespiratory muscles in interstitial lung disease: poorly explored and poorly understood
1. Divisão de Pneumologia, Instituto do Coração, Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo (SP) Brasil. Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of parenchymal lung disorders characterized by permanent structural changes that result in mechanical modifications, notably a significant reduction in the elasticity of the lung parenchyma.(1...
