Enquadramento: A hemoglobinúria paroxística noturna (HPN) é uma doença rara, caracterizada por hemólise intravascular, trombose em locais atípicos e citopenias devido a falência medular [1,2]. Na HPN ocorre uma mutação somática adquirida no gene PIGA, nas células estaminais hematopoiéticas, resultando em defeitos na síntese de glicosilfosfatidilinositol (GPI), que serve de âncora para a ligação de proteínas à m...
O mieloma múltiplo (MM) é uma discrasia plasmocitária, caracterizada pela proliferação de um clone de plasmócitos neoplásicos. A Euroflow definiu um painel de anticorpos direcionado para o diagnóstico e prognóstico do MM, por citometria de fluxo (CF). Vários parâmetros clínicos-laboratoriais são utilizados na determinação do prognóstico desta doença, tendo sido recentemente implementados novos marcadores imunof...

Despite the great economic benefits, one of the major threats of introducing species into exotic ranges is their ability to regenerate and spread to novel environments. For example, Eucalyptus globulus plantations have been established in many parts of the world, using seedlings or clonal material, the latter often from advanced generation tree improvement programs. However, major concerns exist about this spec...

In a context of growing demands for wood and wood derived products, plantations of exotic tree species have globally increased. Fast growth and high productivity made Eucalyptus one of the most successful tree genus around the world. Nevertheless, this genus is often associated with negative ecological impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and the risk of expansion is considered a major threat. Euca...
