The radiographic patterns of 23/33 (69.7%) Suruí indians, of the Brazilian Amazon, treated in 2003-2004 were analyzed. The analysis showed that 44.8% presented unspecific infiltrates, 10.3% presented cavitations and 39.1% presented multiple parenchymal involvements. Although 36% of the patients presented normal radiographs, they underwent anti-tuberculous treatment without having been submitted...

We report a 51-year-old Vietnam War veteran with an unusual variant of macular amyloidosis presenting as poikilodermatous skin lesions. The extensive mottled brown pigmentation was checkered with small hypopigmented or normal skin-colored spots and intermingled with telangiectasia. Skin biopsy revealed subepidermal amyloid deposits. There was no evidence of extracutaneous involvements. This cas...

Australian Rules football comprises physical and skilled performance for more than 90 min of play. The cognitive and physiological fatigue experienced by participants during a match may reduce performance. Consequently, the length of time an athlete is on the field before being interchanged (known as a stint), is a key tactic which could maximize the skill and physical output of the Australian ...

METHODS. The effects of PEA on outflow facility were measured using a porcine anterior segment–perfused organ culture model. The involvements of different receptors in PEA-induced changes were investigated using receptor antagonists and adenovirus delivered small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs). PEAinduced activation of p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was determined by Western blot analysi...

In the summer of 1926, a statistical element was introduced for the first time in the fundamental laws of physics in two papers by Born. After a brief account of Born's earlier involvements with quantum physics, including his bringing the new mechanics to the United States, the motivation for and contents of Born's two papers are discussed. The reaction of his colleagues is described.
