Mitochondrial cytopathies can have kidney involvement in up to half of cases. Their diagnosis is challenging due to phenotypic variability, lack of noninvasive tests to assess mitochondrial dysfunction, and genetic heterogeneity. We report on a young adult male with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with subnephrotic proteinuria who presented to the emergency department with kid...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); The regulation of water column tension in the xylem is essential to avoid embolism formation. Plants can actively reduce the hydraulic resistance in the xylem by moving water from the neighbourhood living cell, via aquaporins. They can also ...
Wood properties influence the leaf life span (LL) of tree crowns. As lignin is an important component of wood and the water transport system, we investigated its relationship with embolism resistance and the LL of several tree species in a seasonally dry tropical ecosystem. We determined total lignin and the monomer contents of guaiacyl (G) and syringyl (S) and related them to wood traits and xylem vulnerabilit...
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing public-health concern worldwide. Patients exhibit compromised immunity and are more prone to infection than other populations. Therefore, oral colonization by clinically relevant members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, major agents of both nosocomial and dialysis-associated infections with frequent prevalence of antibiotic resistances, may constitute a serious risk. T...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-05-01; National Natural Science Foundation of China; Aims: Since plants are compartmentalised organisms, failure of their hydraulic transport system could differ between organs. We test here whether xylem tissue of stems and roots differ in their drought-induced embolism resistance, and whether intact roots ar...
Introdução: A succinilcolina tem sido o pilar da Intubação de Sequência Rápida (ISR) há mais de 50 anos, mas o rocurónio tem surgido como uma alternativa válida. Este estudo teve como objectivo avaliar o uso de relaxantes musculares (RM) na ISR entre os anestesiologistas portugueses. Material e Métodos: Um questionário electrónico anónimo com 16 questões foi enviado para 596 anestesiologistas portugueses por em...
Arising from a growing international presence, Brazil becomes host to several world events, which will help to increase the supply of housing units that can receive guests that strive for sustainability of natural resources. Thus, it is necessary to set the parameters and measurement systems for the adoption degree of sustainability concepts by hotel establishments in the city of Rio de Janeiro, ...
Entendemos que o sofrimento social - particularmente quando se manifesta na forma da depressão - é inerente à atual configuração do mundo do trabalho e afeta às mais diversas ocupações profissionais, todas elas marcadas pela desfiliação e pela sobrecarga de trabalho. Paradoxalmente à época da superestimação dos transtornos mentais e da medicalização da sociedade, o sofrimento no trabalho é expulso do campo clín...
