Thymic Function as a Predictor of Immune Recovery in Chronically HIV-Infected P...

Poor immunological responders (PIR) are HIV-infected patients with virologic suppression upon antiretroviral therapy (ART) but persistently low CD4+ T cell counts. Early identification of PIR is important given their higher morbimortality compared to adequate immune responders (AIR). In this study, 33 patients severely lymphopenic at ART onset, were followed for at least 36 months, and classified as PIR or AIR ...

Exposure of Mytilus galloprovencialis to diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxin: ...

Throughout the world, toxins produced by algae are responsible for approximately 60000 human food poisonings yearly. Shellfish toxins cause damage to wildlife and have a negative economic impact on recreation, tourism and shellfish industry, being almost a worldwide phenomenon. Dinoflagelates such as Dynophysis and Prorocentrum lima are considered a primary producer of diarhetic shellfish toxins, such as Okadai...

Seleção genômica ampla para curvas de crescimento

Foi proposta uma metodologia para avaliação genética de curvas de crescimento considerando-se informações de marcadores SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms). Em um primeiro passo foram ajustados modelos de crescimento não lineares (logístico) aos dados de peso-idade de cada animal, e em um segundo passo as estimativas dos parâmetros de tais modelos foram consideradas como fenótipos em um modelo de regressão (...

Lipid reducing activity and toxicity profiles of a library of polyphenol deriva...

Obesity is an increasing epidemic worldwide and novel treatments are urgently needed. Polyphenols are natural compounds derived from plants, which are known in particular for their antioxidant properties. However, some polyphenols were described to possess anti-obesity activities in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we aimed to screen a library of 85 polyphenol derivatives for their lipid reducing activity and ...

Embodied processes in a native (L1) and in a learned (L2) language: evidence fr...

Embodiment theories suggest that Affective Priming (AP) may derive from somatic processes namely simulation of facial expressions triggered by stimulus valence. The current study used the AP paradigm in the context of a native (L1) or learned (L2) language and examined the general hypothesis that L2 is not emotionally anchored by somatic processes. Two sets of positive, negative and neutral words were presented...

ERP systems in the hospitality industry: Value creation and critical success fa...

The purpose of this paper is to highlight factors that may be considered critical to successful use of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems in the hospitality industry, in particular those that seem to be limiting a broader usage of these systems in this industry. The paper also contributes to the understanding of how ERP systems may create value to these industry´s businesses. This is done through a refe...
