GENETIC DIVERSITY OF NATIVE GOATS (CAPRA HIRCUS) FROM ANGOLA AND IDENTIFICATION...

In Angola, about 70% of the population relies on subsistence agriculture, with cattle production crucial to the economy and culture of the southern regions. Local cattle breeds face extinction due to crossbreeding with improved breeds or replacement by exotic commercial breeds, risking the loss of unique genetic traits vital for adapting to Angola's ecosystems. This project aims to establish a biobank represent...

Genetic signatures of selection in southern Angolan sheep unravel adaptation fo...

Natural and artificial selection in African sheep populations has left distinctive genomic signatures. In southern Angola, pastoralist tribes breed fat-tailed sheep adapted to arid and mesic savannas for protein and cultural purposes. This study aims to identify candidate genes associated with productivity and adaptation in these sheep. We sequenced genomes from Namibe (n = 3) and Cunene (n = 5) and compared th...

Uncovering the genetic diversity of native bovine from South Angola

cattle in Angola and how they relate to other breeds. In Africa we find Bos taurus and Bos indicus cattle and a hybrid also known as Sanga cattle. The most dominant cattle in Angola are Sanga which name varies according to the location and native language of the region, existing 11 different denominations, which conservation status in unknown. Sampling was performed between 2023 and 2024 in different provinces....

Admission of Lung Cancer Patients to Intensive Care Units

Derrame pleural: abordagem diagnóstica e terapêutica

Peritonitis in the neonatal period.

The authors report a case of 32-week-old newborn, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for Newborns. Mechanical ventilation was needed from the first day of life. The patient was treated with indomethacin on the second day of life due to patent ductus arteriosus. On the seventh day pneumoperitoneum was diagnosed, emergency surgery was performed revealing perforation of Meckel's diverticulum. Perinatal asphyxia a...

Nosocomial infection in a pediatric intensive care unit.

Patients in intensive care units (ICU) are 3 to 4 times more prone to nosocomial infection (NI) than patients in general wards owing to the severity of their pathology and the frequent use of invasive procedures. The aim of this study was to establish the incidence of NI in an ICU and the associated risk factors.During 18 months, all patients with severity scores III and IV (Clinical Classification System) were...

Adult type respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by hydrocarbons.

The authors present a case of a child aged 32 months, victim of accidental ingestion of an unidentified hydrocarbon product. Sixteen hours following hospitalization, the patient began polypnea with progressive hypoxemia, with the radiograph showing ARDS pattern. Mechanical ventilation was initiated on the 2nd day of admission. During hospitalization the patient developed pneumomediastinum and bilateral pneumoth...
