Describir el perfil epidemiológico de la portación nasal de cepas de Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), su resistencia a antibióticos y la presencia de los genes de leucocidina de Panton-Valentine (LPV) y mecA en niños en edad escolar que viven en zonas de gran altitud del sudo...

Repair of Bone Defects with Chitosan-Collagen Biomembrane and Scaffold Containing Calcium Aluminate Cement

Braz. dent. j; 28 (3), 2017
Abstract Innovative biomaterials can provide a promising new direction for the treatment of bone defects, stimulating a proper repair process, with no damage to adjacent tissues. The purpose of this in vivo study was to evaluate the biocompatibility and the osteoinductive capacity of chitosan-collagen bi...

Changes in energetic metabolism of Biomphalaria glabrata (Mollusca, Planorbidae) in response to exogenous calcium

Braz. j. biol; 77 (2), 2017
Abstract Calcium is considered an essential element for the metabolism of aquatic snail Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818), intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni Sambon, 1907 in Brazil, and represents a limiting factor to its distribution and adaptation to the environment. This study investigated the e...
