Phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting nutrients for growth and development crops, important soil fertility managements, since it affects quality fruits. With hypothesis that different levels irrigation phosphorus fertilization interfere in physical physicochemical properties tomatoes, objective this experiment was to verify analyze behavior fruits’ responses. The conducted a greenhouse at ...

BACKGROUND Circulating autoantibodies occur more frequently in cancer patients than in patients without cancer. METHODS AND FINDINGS We examined sera from patients referred for pelvic mass symptoms to a tertiary university clinic. A total of 127 were diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer while 386 had a benign condition. A screen for IgG anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) by indirect immunofluo...

The formation of tissue iodoproteins during the peripheral metabolism of the thyroid hormones was examined by determining the concentration of nonethanol-extractable (125)I (NE(125)I) in various tissues after the intravenous injection of 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3-(125)I) and L-thyroxine-(125)I (T4-(125)I) in groups of rats with iodide-blocked thyroid glands. 3 days after T3-(125)I and 7 da...

The thorax is the most frequent extrapelvic location of endometriosis. Thoracic endometriosis is probably responsible for the high rate of recurrent pneumothoraces in females. The goal of the present prospective study was to assess the value of cancer antigen (CA)125 measurement in the detection of endometriosis in order to further enable early and adequate treatment of catamenial pneumothorax....

Adenomyosis is an ectopic localization of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) and autonomous development in the thickness of the uterine muscle. The prevalence of adenomyosis ranges from 5 and 70% [1] after hysterectomy according to the surgical indication [2], whatever them indications. Transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging exam (MRI) have currently an important place in th...

The study aimed to evaluate the potential use of dried or ensiled paulownia (Paulownia spp.) leaves as roughage source for ruminants. Paulownia tree were collected from one-year-old hybrid (C-125, CAR, and TF-33 clones) trees. Dried clones different in dry matter (DM), crude ash (CA), protein (CP), ether extract (EE), fiber (CF), nitrogen-free (NfE) similar neutral detergent (NDF), acid (ADF), ...
