Since O Theodor (1932 Bull Ent Res 23:1723) pointed out the value of spermathecae and their ducts in the identification of Neotropical female sandflies, these structures have become the most important to identify females. Unfortunately, it is frequently difficult to see the ducts, principally the common one, when present. The dissection of female genitalia makes possible the observation of deta...

I. INTRODUCTION Searching everything everywhere is becoming our habit when we need to find something. However, finding what we need is often a hard job. Current search engine technology is very good in finding complete Web pages, but it lacks the desired precision and recall when searching for multilingual resources such as within pan-european Medical Digital Libraries. For instance, searching ...

Neonatal diabetes (ND) is a rare entity with an estimated incidence of 1/400 000 births in Europe. Hyperglycaemia usually occurs in the first few days of life and patients require insulin treatment. Intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, and decreased adipose tissue are frequently associated. ND is permanent in some patients (permanent ND), and in other cases hyperglycaemia is trans...

Micron-sized particles, prepared from loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) wood and bark, were evaluated for use in wood-plastic composites (WPCs). Particles were also prepared from hard (periderm) and soft (obliterated phloem) components in the bark and compared to whole wood (without bark) filler commonly used by the WPC industry. All bark fillers had different thermal degradation profiles and high...

EDITOR—Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) describes a uniform malformation syndrome characterised by intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation (IUGR/PGR), asymmetry of the head and limbs, a small triangular face, and other less constant features. The majority of the 400 cases described so far occurred sporadically, but some familial cases indicate a genetic cause of the disease. In rare cases, c...
