Report of four cases of Bardet-Biedl syndrome

Although its diagnosis depends on cardinal clinical manifestations which appear in childhood, we report four cases of Bardet-Biedl syndrome lately diagnosed in a dialysis center.

Effect of a crude sulfated polysaccharide from Halymenia floresia (Rhodophyta) ...
Graça,José Ronaldo Vasconcelos; Bezerra,Mirna Marques; Lima,Vilma; Rodrigues,José Ariévilo Gurgel; Monteiro,Diego Levi SilveiraThe aim of this work was to study the effect of Halymenia floresia (Hf) on duodenum contractility, and on experimental protocols of gastric compliance (GC) in rats. Fraction Hf2s exhibited a concentration-dependent myocontractile effect (EC50 12.48 µg/ml), and an inhibitory effect after consecutive washing. The contractile response promoted by Hf2s in the duodenum strips was completely inhibited by verapamil, a...

Magalhães,Maria Sonia Felício; Fechine,Francisco Vagnaldo; Macedo,Rafael Nogueira de; Monteiro,Diego Levi Silveira; Oliveira,Cecília CarvalhoPURPOSE: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a combination of medium chain triglycerides (caprylic, capric, caproic and lauric acids), linoleic acid (essential fatty acid), vitamins A and E and soy lecithin, through a morphometric study, on the wound healing kinetics of experimental cutaneous ulcers. METHODS: A total of 45 male Wistar rats were used, in which a skin flap of total thickness with ...
