Introduction: Biermer’s disease is an autoimmune characterized by a lack of absorption vitamin B12 in connection with the production antibodies (A) destroying intrinsic factor (IF) which allows (cobalamin). These clinical manifestations are polymorphic and severe our context. The objective this work to identify epidemiological-clinical, therapeutic evolutionary characteristics Guinean populatio...

A quantitative histology of maize stems is needed to study the role tissue and their chemical composition in plant development end-use quality. In present work, a new methodology proposed show quantify spatial variability organs statistically compare different samples accounting for biological variability. Multispectral UV/visible autofluorescence imaging was used acquire macroscale image serie...

INTRODUCTION Acute cholangitis (AC) is a clinical diagnosis entity. A high prevalence of acute inflammatory changes (AIC) are found in hepatic needle biopsies (HB) in these patients. The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence of AIC in HB performed on patients with AC due to biliary stones. METHODS Cross-sectional study. Surgery was performed at the Hospital Regional of Temuco. Patie...

PURPOSE: To compare the two lines suture (total and seromuscular) after partial gastrectomy in normal and overweight rats. METHODS: Forty Wistar rats were distributed in two groups. Group A received normal diet; group B, normal diet and supplementation with saccharose in the water. When group B progressed to a statistically greater weight than the animals of group A, the experiment (sleeve-li...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate antileishmanial effects of ASA via NO pathway in Leishmania major infected Balb/c mice. Moreover, toxicity and pathological consequences of ASA administration were investigated. METHODS Balb/c mice were infected with L. major and ASA was inoculated orally after lesion appearance for its ability to modulate NO and to modify Leishmania infect...

Colonies of the fish pathogen Flavobacterium psychrophilum have gliding motility in media with low agar concentrations. Although gliding motility, particularly in Flavobacterium johnsoniae, has been well-studied, little is known about its regulation by environmental factors. The work described here shows that the ability of F. psychrophilum to spread over surfaces depends on nutrient availabili...

Secretory breast carcinoma is an extremely rare entity initially described in children and in adolescents, but a relatively frequent number of cases has been reported in adults. It is often associated with good prognosis. The present case refers to a seven-year-old girl with a progressively growing tumor in the left breast. Clinical examination identified a hard, mobile, non-painful, subareolar...

High-frequency ultrasonic transducers have been implemented as a powerful tool for modern medical diagnosis and therapy. Most current use piezoelectric ceramics electromechanical couplings, which will undergo periodic electro-acoustic transitions at high frequencies (≥20 MHz), thereby requiring reliability. This work presents structural engineering strategy to improve the piezoelectricity relia...
