13. Diagnostic methods to cutaneous leishmaniasis detection in domestic dogs and cats
Abstract: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by different species of Leishmania. In domestic animals such as dogs and cats, the diagnostic consists of clinical, epidemiological and serological tests, which changes among countries all around the world. Because of this diversity in the methods selected, we propose this systematic literature review to identify t

14. Oral midazolam reduces cortisol levels during local anaesthesia in children: a randomised controlled trial
Little is known about whether midazolam sedation can reduce salivary cortisol levels and consequently influence children’s behaviour during dental treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of midazolam sedation on salivary cortisol and its correlation with children’s behaviour during restorative dental treatment. Eighteen healthy childr

15. The concurrent occurrence of Leishmania chagasi infection and childhood acute leukemia in Brazil
Objective: This study investigated the co-existence of Leishmania chagasi infection and childhood leukemia in patients naïve to treatment; this has serious clinical and epidemiological implications. Methods: The seroprevalence of L. chagasi antibodies prior to any treatment was investigated in children with clinical features of acute leukemia. Serologica

16. Evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunospot assay for the immunodiagnosis of atypical spinal tuberculosis (atypical clinical presentation/atypical radiographic presentation) in China
BACKGROUND: Atypical spinal tuberculosis (TB) usually presents in a slowly indolent manner with nonspecific clinical presentations making the diagnosis a great challenge for physicians. New technologies for the detection of atypical spinal TB are urgently needed. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of an enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT

17. Incidence of tuberculous and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, differentiated by multiplex PCR, in clinical specimens of a large general hospital
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and non-tuberculous mycobacterial isolates in the routine setting of a large general hospital using an "in-house" multiplex polymerase chain reaction method and to establish a paradigm for the definitive identification of mycobacteria isolated using semi-automated equipment. METHODS:

18. Rapid tests for the detection of the Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii strain responsible for an epidemic of surgical-site infections in Brazil
A single strain of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii, characterised by a particular rpoB sequevar and two highly related pulsed field gel electrophoresis patterns has been responsible for a nationwide outbreak of surgical infections in Brazil since 2004. In this study, we developed molecular tests based on polymerase chain reaction restriction-enzyme a

19. Marcadores tumorais bioquímicos e imunocitoquímicos em efusões neoplásicas caninas / Biochemical and immunocytochemical tumor markers in canine neoplastic effusions
The cavity effusions frequently occur in the clinical routine of dogs. In most cases the effusions are benign caused by circulatory system disorders. Neoplasms are common causes of effusions in dogs, however not always the tumor cells are found in cytopathologycal analysis. The dosage of tumor markers is an alternative to make the neoplastic effusion diagnos

20. Estudo molecular de pestivirus em amostras de cultura celular e soro de pequenos ruminantes. / Estudo molecular de pestivirus em amostras de cultura celular e soro de pequenos ruminantes.
The Ruminants Pestiviruses are often associated with temporary and subclinical or mild clinical signs, with the largest losses related to the infection of pregnant females that can cause fetal loss and birth of persistently infected (PI) animals. The Pestivirus are distributed in many countries, including Brazil, where studies in goats and sheep are scarce.

21. Mucopolysaccharidoses in northern Brazil: Targeted mutation screening and urinary glycosaminoglycan excretion in patients undergoing enzyme replacement therapy
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are rare lysosomal disorders caused by the deficiency of specific lysosomal enzymes responsible for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation. Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) has been shown to reduce accumulation and urinary excretion of GAG, and to improve some of the patients' clinical signs. We studied biochemical and molecular char

22. The prevalence of aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme genes (aac (6')-I, aac (6')-II, ant (2")-I, aph (3')-VI) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
INTRODUCTION: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is one of the primary opportunistic pathogens responsible for nosocomial infections. Aminoglycosides are an import ant component of antipseudomonal chemotherapy. The inactivation of drugs by modifying enzymes is the most common mechanism of aminoglycoside resistance. OBJECTIVES: The inactivation of aminogl

23. A safety and feasibility study of cell therapy in dilated cardiomyopathy
The aim of this study was to determine if bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC) transplantation is safe for moderate to severe idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). Clinical trials have shown that this procedure is safe and effective for ischemic patients, but little information is available regarding non-ischemic patients. Twenty-four patients with IDC, op

24. Polimorfismos em CYP2E1, GSTM1 e GSTT1 e hepatotoxicidade no tratamento da tuberculose
Patients under treatment for tuberculosis (TB) frequently suffer adverse drug reactions. The most severe, hepatotoxicity is often related to toxic metabolites produced during the main drug metabolism, isoniazid (INH). INH is metabolized by N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) and glutathione S-transferase (GSTM1 and GSTT1) enzymes. Poly
