Sexually transmitted infections are an important cause of morbidity among sexually active women worldwide, and have been implicated as cofactors in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. We investigated the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and accessed the diversity of HPV in women with normal and ab.. Read More»

Macromolecular array patterns of silk gland secretion in social Hymenoptera larvae

Guilherme Gomes, Elaine C.M. Silva-Zacarin, Fernando J. Zara, Regina L.M. Silva de Moraes and Flávio H. Caetano

The cocoon, produced by most holometabolous insects, is built with silk that is usually produced by the larval salivary gland. Although this silk has been widely studied in the Lepidoptera, its composition and macromolecular arrangement remains unknown in the Hymenoptera. The macromolecular array patterns of the silk in the larval salivary gland of some meliponids, .. Read More»

Arachis pintoi and A. repens are legumes with a high forage value that are used to feed ruminants in consortium systems. Not only do they increase the persistence and quality of pastures, they are also used for ornamental and green cover. The objective of this study was to analyze microsatellite markers in order to access the genetic diversity of 65 forage peanut ge.. Read More»

We report on a 23-year-old girl with short stature, short and wide neck, low posterior hairline, hypogonadism, underdeveloped breasts, infantile uterus, ovaries not visualized, and primary amenorrhea. Cytogenetic G-banding analysis revealed a mosaic karyotype of 46,X,dup(X)(q22)[35]/45,X[15], confirming the clinical suspicion of Turner syndrome. Molecular cytogeneti.. Read More»
