A draft genome sequence of the elusive giant squid, Architeuthis dux

Background: The giant squid (Architeuthis dux; Steenstrup, 1857) is an enigmatic giant mollusc with a circumglobal distribution in the deep ocean, except in the high Arctic and Antarctic waters. The elusiveness of the species makes it difficult to study. Thus, having a genome assembled for this deep-sea-dwelling species will allow several pending evolutionary questions to be unlocked. Findings: We present a dra...

Anaphylaxis in Pregnancy: a Rare Cause of Neonatal Mortality

Anaphylaxis is a rare condition in pregnancy. Drugs are the aetiological agents most often implicated. Maternal anaphylaxis can lead to significant fetal morbidity and even mortality if uterine perfusion and maternal oxygenation are compromised. Significant risk of neonatal neurological damage or death can occur even when the maternal clinical outcome is favourable. The authors present the case of a newborn, bo...

Severity evaluation of ventilated patients at a respiratory intensive care unit...

APACHE II system, is a simple and inexpensive method to evaluate severity of Intensive Care Patients. In a 2 years period (between 1988 and 1990), grading severity using APACHE II system, was performed on 498 consecutive mechanical Ventilated Patients in a Respiratory Intensive Care Unit. APACHE II was higher in COPD patients, but patients with Pneumonia and Organophosphate Poisoning had higher mortality. Corre...
