The research on Literature of Cordel has been standing out for the diversity new looks about it. However, before this epistemological profusion, there was a watershed in their research, work "Cordel ideológico de punição" by Fausto Neto (1993). Through bibliographical study, we will analyze innovations that brought and raised views Brazil, collaborating even to understand basic differences betw...

Background: There are data about the relationship between morphologic findings on HRCT and the number of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) on sputum smears in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). It was also shown that existence of cavities and airspace consolidation might be related to smear positivity in PTB patients. However there is no study suggesting a relationship between AFB on sputum smea...

In many eukaryotic mRNAs one or more short ‘upstream’ open reading frames, uORFs, precede the initiator of the main coding sequence. Upstream ORFs are functionally diverse as illustrated by their variety of features in polyamine pathway biosynthetic mRNAs. Their propensity to act as sensors for regulatory circuits and to amplify the signals likely explains their occurrence in most polyamine pat...

The profusion of progress during the past twenty years in identifying neural correlates of selective attention within the visual system has left open the question of how visual representations are biased to favor target stimuli. Studies aimed at specifying the mechanisms that can be causally implicated in the control of visual selective attention have only recently begun in earnest. Employing b...

Wireless communication is an essential component of public safety operations [1,2]. First responders have benefited from many technical advances in the wireless arena in recent years including new modes for voice and data communications, cellular and satellite communications, and wireless local area networks (WLAN). At the same time, this profusion of new technology has aggravated a looming cri...

The treatment and medical management of aplastic anemia fundamentally differ between patients with inherited versus acquired marrow failure; however, the diagnosis of an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome is frequently obscure. Recent exciting advances in our understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of the inherited bone marrow failure syndromes have resulted in a profusion of new tes...

It appears from the profusion of Wittgensteinian slogans in Maraun's (1996b) conunentary that his thesis on the character of common factors is strongly rooted in an outlook on language whose controversial obscurities muddy rather than clarify the factor-analytic issues on which we are supposedly focused. Hardly anything objectionable in the Wittgensteinian perspective is needed for what 1 take ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the evidence for the hypothesis that lung cancer has a predilection for the lower lobes in workers with asbestosis. METHOD A review of the available literature with relevant information. RESULTS Six published reports were analysed. In four studies limited to series of cases with diagnoses of asbestosis, three showed lower lobe predominance of lung cancer whereas the four...

The fifty-second annual meeting of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital, Euston Koad, corresponded with " Daffodil Day," which no doubt accounted for the profusion of those cheerful and effective blooms that decorated every ward table in the hospital on March 14 and brightened the large entrance hall, where tea lay in readiness for guests attending the meeting. The chair was taken by Lord Ki...
