This study evaluated bacterial etiology and antibiotic susceptibility in patients diagnosed with community-acquired perforated appendicitis over a 12-year-period. We retrospectively reviewed records of adult patients diagnosed with perforated appendicitis at an 800-bed teaching hospital between January 2000 and December 2011. In total, 415 culture-positive perforated appendicitis cases were ana...

This study was designed to evaluate whether Hybrid Capture II (HC2) test alone refer women to colposcopy as appropriately as DNA Papanicolaou (Pap) test, in the context of a high-risk group of women using the recently validated DNACitoliq LBC system. Women with suspected cervical disease were included in this cross-sectional study at a tertiary center in São Paulo, Brazil, for further workup. A...

In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected children, bacterial infections are a major source of morbidity and mortality. The most common opportunistic infections in children in t...

Osmotic stress is an important factor that can result in cell damage during cryopreservation. Before ejaculation or collection for cryopreservation, murine spermatozoa are stored in epididymal fluid, a physiologically hyperosmotic environment (approximately 415 mmol/kg). The objectives of this study were to determine the osmotic tolerance limits of sperm motion parameters of ICR and C57BL/6 mou...

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced by misfolded proteins has been implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. A malfunction of unfolded protein response (UPR) to ER stress can result in PD as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. Heat shock 70 kDa protein 5 (HSPA5) is one of the UPR chaperones reactive to ER stress to block the apoptotic process. HSPA5 promoter polymorphisms...
