Brucellosis is anthropozoonosis caused by Brucella spp. Among the zoonotic species, B. abortus main species affecting cattle and can easily be transmitted to humans. The purpose of this study was investigate, through epidemiological inquiry serological analysis, animal human health as related smooth strain in a slaughterhouse located southern region state Bahia. For purpose, blood samples were ...

introduction: the most common symptom of brucellosis is osteoarticular manifestation. urogenital manifestation, hepatitis, cns and respiratory system involvement and endocarditis are also reported. mild leukopenia with lymphocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia and seldom pancytopenia is seen. case presentation: a 22-year-old man with fever and chills, abdominal pain and diarrhea came to the hospi...

Observed crossover events between different power functions of absolute temperature occurring below about ~1 K in the dependence heat capacity or thermal conductivity conventional superconductors are identified as transitions from Maxwell-Boltzmann to Bose-Einstein (BE) statistics Cooper-pairs. Because low mass Cooper pairs 2me (with me electron) and their high density, BE-condensation temperat...

A growth-promoting factor (GPF) that promotes the growth of Entamoeba dispar under axenic culture conditions was found in fractions of mitochondria (Mt), hydrogenosomes (Hg) and chloroplasts (Cp) obtained from cells of six different protozoan, mammalian and plant species. We were able to extract the GPF from the Cp-rich leaf cells of a plant (spiderwort: Commelina communis L.) in an acetone-sol...

A geometric graph ( = gg) is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a finite set of points ( = vertices) in general position in the plane, and E is a set of open straight line segments ( = edges) whose endpoints are in V. G is a convex gg ( = egg) if V is the set of vertices of a convex polygon. For n 3 1, 0 se c (;) and m Z= 1 let 2 = Z(n ,e, m) (I, = I,(n, e, m)) be the maximal number such that for ev...

Considering the effects of hot ions and Lorentz force, a numerical study on the properties of solitary kinetic Alfvén waves ~SKAWs! in the inertial limit region in the magnetosphere is presented. In contrast to the results obtained by Hasegawa and Mima @Phys. Rev. Lett. 37, 690 ~1976!#, Shukla et al. @J. Plasma Phys. 28, 125 ~1982!#, and Wu et al. @Phys. Plasmas 3, 2879 ~1996!#, both hump and d...

PURPOSE Human corneal endothelial cells (HCEC), particularly from older donors, only proliferate weakly in response to EGF. The protein tyrosine phosphatase, PTP1B, is known to negatively regulate EGF-induced signaling in several cell types by dephosphorylating the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The current studies were conducted to determine whether PTP1B plays a role in regulating c...
