Introduction and objectives Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a fundamental intervention to manage COPD, however, maintaining its benefits is challenging. Engaging in physical activity might help to prolong PR benefits. This study assessed the efficacy and effectiveness of a personalised community-based physical activity programme to sustain physical activity and other health-related PR benefits, in people with ...
The treatment of bone regeneration failures has been constantly improved with the study of new biomaterials. Techgraft® is a collagen membrane derived from bovine pericardium, which has been shown to have biocompatibility and effectiveness in tissue repair. However, its use in orthopedics has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to characterize a bovine pericardium collagen membrane ...
Background: long-term maintenance of the benefits obtained with pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in people with COPD is of upmost importance, yet highly challenging. Integrating these people in community-based physical activities (PAs), after PR, can be a promising strategy to maintain achieved benefits. Nevertheless, to confidently advise people with COPD to enrol these community-based PAs, clinicians must ensure...
Paenibacillus larvae is the etiological agent of American Foulbrood disease (AFB), a highly contagious and worldwide spread bacterial disease that affects honeybee brood. In this study, all fourteen complete P. larvae genomes available on the NCBI database were analysed for the presence of prophages using the PHAge Search Tool Enhanced Release (PHASTER) software. A total of 55 intact prophages were investigated...
O experimento foi desenvolvido para avaliar os efeitos da inclusão de níveis de farelo de mamona destoxificado sobre a composição químico-bromatológica, as características fermentativas e as perdas de matéria seca da silagem de cana-de-açúcar. Os tratamentos consistiam em quatro níveis (0, 7, 14 e 21% da matéria natural) de inclusão do farelo de mamona. O delineamento foi inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco repeti...
Babesia canis é um protozoário cosmopolita que parasita eritrócitos de cães domésticos e selvagens. O diagnóstico é realizado mediante a observação direta do microrganismo em hemácias no esfregaço de sangue periférico, métodos sorológicos e técnicas moleculares. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar pela primeira vez a presença de merozoítos de Babesia spp. no líquido peritoneal de um cão com ascite. No Hospital ...
Background: Infections with tick-borne rickettsiae can cause diseases well known in humans but still not so well characterized in dogs. Susceptibility to infection depends on the virulence of Rickettsia spp. and only a few of them have been described to cause disease in dogs. The aim of this study was to investigate the exposure to Rickettsia spp. among a group of pet dogs from Luanda, Angola. Results: Out of 1...
O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da incorporação de resíduo de sisal ao substrato comercial sobre a emergência e a qualidade de mudas de jiló e brócolis. Os experimentos foram realizados em casa de vegetação com sombrite 50% no Departamento de Tecnologia e Ciências Sociais da UNEB, em Juazeiro, BA, utilizando-se sementes comerciais de jiló e brócolis. Nas duas espécies, os tratamentos consistiram na ...
