Hypertriglyceridemic Waist Phenotype and Changes in the Fasting Glycemia and Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents Over One-Year Follow-Up Period

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (1), 2017
Abstract Background: The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTW) phenotype is defined as the simultaneous presence of increased waist circumference (WC) and serum triglycerides (TG) levels and it has been associated with cardiometabolic risk in children and adolescents. Objective: The objective was to evaluat...

Cardiac Amyloidosis and its New Clinical Phenotype: Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (1), 2017
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is now an emerging cardiovascular epidemic, being identified as the main phenotype observed in clinical practice. It is more associated with female gender, advanced age and comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity and chronic ki...

Haplotypes in CCR5-CCR2 , CCL3 and CCL5 are associated with natural resistance to HIV-1 infection in a Colombian cohort

Biomédica (Bogotá); 37 (2), 2017
RESUMEN Introduction: Variants in genes encoding for HIV-1 co-receptors and their natural ligands have been individually associated to natural resistance to HIV-1 infection. However, the simultaneous presence of these variants has been poorly studied. Objective: To evaluate the association of single a...

Bioethanol strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae characterised by microsatellite and stress resistance

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae may display characteristics that are typical of rough-type colonies, made up of cells clustered in pseudohyphal structures and comprised of daughter buds that do not separate from the mother cell post-mitosis. These strains are known to occur frequently in fer...

Screening of melon genotypes for resistance to vegetable leafminer and your phenotypic correlations with colorimetry

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Melon is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world. With short cycle in a system of phased planting, phytosanitary control is compromised, and a great volume of agricultural chemicals is used to control vegetable leafminer. Genetic control is an ideal alternative to avoid the damage...

High phenotypic variability in Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker is a genetic prion disease and the most common mutation is p.Pro102Leu. We report clinical, molecular and neuropathological data of seven individuals, belonging to two unrelated Brazilian kindreds, carrying the p.Pro102Leu. Marked differences among patients were o...
