2. Genética de populações e reinterpretação da história demográfica de remanescentes de quilombos: uma comparação entre três populações do nordeste brasileiro
The remanescentes de quilombos are multiethnic societies whose origins are related to the presence of African slaves in Brazil. The demographic history of these populations has been studied using historical, demographic, ethnographic and genetic sources. The present work aims to evaluate the origin and the impact of recent and ancient waves of immigration up

3. Imigrantes negros africanos dos PALOP e negros brasileiros: a identidade étnica construída na imprensa de Portugal e do Brasil
As its main purpose this thesis presents, not only how the ethnic identity of the African black immigrants from the PALOP -Portuguese-speaking African Countries - and their descendents is built in the Portuguese Newspapers Público, Correio da Manhã e O Expresso, in 2003, 2004 and 2005, as well as the ethnic identity of the Brazilian black men in the magazi

4. Motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis among immigrants to Britain.
Hospital discharge rates for various immigrant groups resident in Greater London and the West Midlands were studied to compare the incidence of two diseases of the nervous system-motor neurone disease (MND) and multiple sclerosis (MS). For both these conditions immigrants from Europe, Ireland, America and from the old commonwealth countries of Canada, Austra

6. Motor neuron disease and multiple sclerosis among immigrants to England from the Indian subcontinent, the Caribbean, and east and west Africa.
The mortality from motor neuron disease (MND) and multiple sclerosis (MS) was studied among immigrants to England and Wales from the Indian subcontinent, the Caribbean, and East and West Africa during the 10 years 1979-88. The MND mortality among ethnic Asian males was only half and for females one fifth of that expected at English rates. MND mortality in Ca

9. Color and genomic ancestry in Brazilians
This work was undertaken to ascertain to what degree the physical appearance of a Brazilian individual was predictive of genomic African ancestry. Using a panel of 10 population-specific alleles, we assigned to each person an African ancestry index (AAI). The procedure was able to tell apart, with no overlaps, 20 males from northern Portugal from 20 males fr

10. Evaluation of a High-Throughput Repetitive-Sequence-Based PCR System for DNA Fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium Complex Strains
Repetitive-sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) is useful for generating DNA fingerprints of diverse bacterial and fungal species. Rep-PCR amplicon fingerprints represent genomic segments lying between repetitive sequences. A commercial system that electrophoretically separates rep-PCR amplicons on microfluidic chips, and provides computer-generated readouts of resu

12. Mefloquine versus Quinine plus Sulphalene-Pyrimethamine (Metakelfin) for Treatment of Uncomplicated Imported Falciparum Malaria Acquired in Africa
We conducted a multicenter, randomized, open-label trial to compare mefloquine with a 3-day quinine plus sulphalene-pyrimethamine (SP) regimen for the treatment of imported uncomplicated malaria acquired in Africa. The end points of the study were efficacy, tolerability, and length of hospital stay. From July 1999 to February 2003, 187 patients were enrolled
