Psoriasis affects individuals of African descent and white Brazilians similarly.
INTRODUCTION Cultural, socio-demographic and environmental factors such as tropical climate and exposure to sun could have an impact on the incidence or clinical course of psoriasis. Here we describe the main clinical aspects of psoriasis in Brazilian patients and also investigate whether any particular feature can distinguish the disease occurring in Brazil from that occurring in other countri...
متن کاملThe phylogeography of African Brazilians.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Approximately four million Africans were taken as slaves to Brazil, where they interbred extensively with Amerindians and Europeans. We have previously shown that while most White Brazilians carry Y chromosomes of European origin, they display high proportions of African and Amerindian mtDNA lineages, because of sex-biased genetic admixture. METHODS We studied the Y chromosome...
متن کاملPrimary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Individuals of African Descent: A Review of Risk Factors
OBJECTIVE To identify the major risk factors for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in individuals of African descent. METHODS We searched PubMed for relevant articles, with results spanning April 1947 to present. All abstracts were reviewed and, where relevant to POAG and race, articles were catalogued and analyzed. Additional sources were identified through citations in articles returned by...
متن کاملMotion coherence affects human perception and pursuit similarly.
Pursuit and perception both require accurate information about the motion of objects. Recovering the motion of objects by integrating the motion of their components is a difficult visual task. Successful integration produces coherent global object motion, while a failure to integrate leaves the incoherent local motions of the components unlinked. We compared the ability of perception and pursui...
متن کاملSemantic congruity affects numerical judgments similarly in monkeys and humans.
Monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were trained to order visual arrays based on their number of elements and to conditionally choose the array with the larger or smaller number of elements dependent on a color cue. When the screen background was red, monkeys were reinforced for choosing the smaller numerical value first. When the screen background was blue, monkeys were reinforced for choosing the larger...
