OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of white-coat normortension, white-coat hypertension, and white-coat effect. METHODS We assessed 670 medical records of patients from the League of Hypertension of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Medical School of the University of S o Paulo. White-coat hypertension (blood pressure at the medical office: mean of 3 measurements with the oscillometric device ...

Abnormal pigmentation of Senegalese sole has been described as one problem facing the full exploitation of its commercial production. To improve our understanding of flatfish pigmentation of this commercially important species we have evaluated eleven genes related to two different processes of pigmentation: melanophore differentiation, and melanin production. The temporal distribution of gene ...

Change in color of oral mucosa reflects the underlying health status, which is either local or systemic. This color change is due to pigmentation, which may be physiological or pathological. Pigmentation in pathological conditions range from localized anomalies of to potentially life-threatening conditions. Since the dental professionals encounter a number of pigmented lesions in the oral cavit...

Bacillus spores are encased in a multilayer, proteinaceous self-assembled coat structure that assists in protecting the bacterial genome from stresses and consists of at least 70 proteins. The elucidation of Bacillus spore coat assembly, architecture, and function is critical to determining mechanisms of spore pathogenesis, environmental resistance, immune response, and physicochemical properti...

Using simple design and selective pressure, we have evolved an artificial M13 bacteriophage coat protein. M13 coat proteins first reside in the bacterial inner membrane and subsequently surround the DNA core of the assembled virus. The artificial coat protein (ACP) was designed and evolved to mimic both functions of the natural M13 coat proteins, but with an inverted orientation. ACP is a non-f...

Pigmentation, which is primarily determined by the amount, the type, and the distribution of melanin, shows a remarkable diversity in human populations, and in this sense, it is an atypical trait. Numerous genetic studies have indicated that the average proportion of genetic variation due to differences among major continental groups is just 10-15% of the total genetic variation. In contrast, s...
