Interaction of lipoprotein lipase polymorphisms with body mass index and birth weight to modulate lipid profiles in children and adolescents: the CASPIAN-III Study

Säo Paulo med. j; 134 (2), 2016
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Interactions between body mass index (BMI), birth weight and risk parameters may contribute to diseases rather than the individual effects of each factor. However this hypothesis needs to be confirmed. This study aimed to determine to what extent variants of lipoprotein lipase (LP...

Relación genética del virus dengue 1 aislado en Cuba durante la epidemia de 1977
Genetic relationship of dengue virus 1 isolated in Cuba, 1977

Rev. cuba. med. trop; 68 (1), 2016
Introducción: el dengue es una enfermedad aguda causada por cuatro serotipos del virus del dengue (DENV-1 al 4) y transmitida al hombre por el mosquito Aedes aegypti. En Cuba, la primera epidemia de dengue con confirmación de laboratorio ocurrió en 1977, identificándose al DENV-1 como agente causal. ...

Prevalence of mutations in HBV DNA polymerase gene associated with nucleos(t)ide resistance in treatment-naive patients with Chronic Hepatitis B in Central China

Braz. j. infect. dis; 20 (2), 2016
Abstract Objective There are a lot of disagreements in the studies on hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase mutation rate associated with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) in treatment-naive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. This is the first study aimed to investigate the prevalence of spontaneous HBV r...

Detection of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Brazil using a multimarker genetic assay for katG and rpoB genes

Braz. j. infect. dis; 20 (2), 2016
Abstract Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) is a serious world health problem that limits public actions to control tuberculosis, because the most used anti-tuberculosis first-line drugs fail to stop mycobacterium spread. Consequently, a quick detection through molecular diagnosis is essential to r...

Caracterización molecular del virus de la Hepatitis C en pacientes remitidos al Laboratorio Regional de Salud Pública del Hospital Universitario “Antonio Patricio de Alcalá”, Cumaná, Venezuela

Invest. clín; 57 (1), 2016
La Organización Mundial de la Salud estima que aproximadamente 170 millones de personas están crónicamente infectadas por el virus de la hepatitis C (VHC). En este estudio se evaluó la presencia de anticuerpos contra el VHC en pacientes remitidos durante enero de 2010 a febrero de 2013, al Laboratori...

Genetic diversity of hepatitis B virus and mutations associated to hepatocellular carcinoma in patients from Venezuela, with different stages of liver disease

Invest. clín; 57 (1), 2016
Globally, about 50% of liver cancer originates as a result of long term infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), and some genotypes and mutations have been associated with an increased severity of infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of HBV in patients from Venezuela, wit...

Symmetry symptoms in obsessive-compulsive disorder: clinical and genetic correlates

Objective: In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), symmetry-related symptoms may be important. Although clinical correlates of symmetry-related symptoms have been identified in OCD, few data exist on genetic associations. Animal studies indicate involvement of dopamine in symmetry-related behavior, sugge...
