Approach and guidance of trans and non-binary people in primary health care: ex...

The prevalence of openly trans and non-binary people has been increasing, and, in today's world, it is estimated that they represent 0.39% and 1.19% of the global population, respectively. Thus, it becomes increasingly imperative that primary health care physicians are prepared to receive and guide this population, in their general and specific health needs. In this sense, this work intends to study the knowled...

Constitutive expression of VviNAC17 transcription factor significantly induces ...

VviNAC17 is a grapevine transcription factor activated by ABA. Because ABA has been proposed as the main signal modulating the secondary metabolism in grape berry skins, here we postulated VviNAC17 as a positive regulator of secondary metabolism in grape cells. To validate the hypothesis, VviNAC17 was constitutively and stably overexpressed in grape berry suspension-cultured cells of Gamay Fréaux cv. by Agrobac...

Stepwise functional evolution in the Ffz sugar transporter family

Medicis: a personal health care assistant

The relation between patient and physician in most modern Health Care Systems is sparse, limited in time and very inflexible. On the other hand, and in contradiction with several recent studies, most physicians do not rely their patient diagnostics evaluations on intertwined psychological and social nature factors. Facing these problems and trying to improve the patient/physician relation we present a mobile he...

Functionality of the paracoccidioides mating α-pheromone-receptor system

Recent evidence suggests that Paracoccidioides species have the potential to undergo sexual reproduction, although no sexual cycle has been identified either in nature or under laboratory conditions. In the present work we detected low expression levels of the heterothallic MAT loci genes MAT1-1 and MAT1-2, the a-pheromone (PBa) gene, and the a- and apheromone receptor (PREB and PREA) genes in yeast and mycelia...
