The American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory (ERS) recommend that spirometry prediction equations be derived from samples of similar race/ethnicity. Malagasy do not exist. objectives this study were to establish for healthy adults, then compare measurements with published equations. We enrolled 2491 subjects aged 18–73 years (1428 males) June 2006 April 2008. attempted meet the ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines when performing forced expiratory spirograms. compared volume in 1 s...
Bartonella species are blood-borne, re-emerging organisms, capable of causing prolonged infection with diverse disease manifestations, from asymptomatic bacteremia to chronic debilitating and death. This pathogen can survive for over a month in stored blood. However, its prevalence among blood donors is unknown, screening supplies this not routinely performed. We investigated spp. 500 Campinas, Brazil, based on cross-sectional design. Blood samples were inoculated into an enrichment liquid...
Background There is a lack of studies comparing topical antiseptics to systemic antibiotics in the treatment canine superficial pyoderma. Hypothesis/Objectives To compare efficacy chlorhexidine with amoxicillin–clavulanic acid for Animals A randomized controlled trial was conducted dogs Group T ( n = 31) treated topically 4% digluconate shampoo (twice weekly) and solution (once daily) 4 weeks. S 20) orally (25 mg/kg) twice daily Methods Bacterial culture susceptibility testing were performed...
Abstract A previously validated 15‐item questionnaire on dogs’ life quality (QoL1) and that of their owners (QoL2) was applied in a multicentre study to 200 dogs with different dermatological conditions, together question the owner‐perceived disease severity (S). Factor analysis whole questionnaire. The correlation S QoL1 QoL2 scores evaluated using Spearman’s rank tests. Owner sex, age, educational level willingness pay for potential definitive cure were recorded, compared (QoL) scores. In...
Oclacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor that decreases pruritus and lesions in allergic dogs. In cats, it able to inhibit interleukin-31-induced pruritus; no information available on its clinical effectiveness.To evaluate the efficacy, ease of administration tolerability oclacitinib feline nonflea-, nonfood-induced hypersensitivity dermatitis.Cats >12 months age >3 kg body weight with diagnosis dermatitis were treated oclacitinib, 0.4-0.6 mg/kg orally (p.o.) twice daily for 2 weeks, then...
Importance Preventive efforts in pregnancy-related alloimmunization have considerably decreased the prevalence of hemolytic disease fetus and newborn (HDFN). International studies are therefore essential to obtain a deeper understanding postnatal management outcomes HDFN. Taken together with numerous treatment options, large practice variations among centers may exist. Objectives To assess HDFN international identify opportunities improve care. Design, Setting, Participants In this...

Fifteen bacterial isolates from spotted fever group rickettsiosis in Brazil were genetically identified as Rickettsia rickettsii. In a phylogenetic analysis with other R. rickettsii GenBank, the Central/South American showed low polymorphism and formed clade distinct two North clades, clades having greater in-branch polymorphism.
Phenotypic and genotypic characterizations of Lactobacillus maltaromicus strains DSM 20342T 20344 provided evidence for the reclassification this species in genus Carnobacterium. Moreover, phenotypic comparisons made between L. Carnobacterium piscicola highlighted that these two should be considered synonyms. For reasons, maltaromaticum comb. nov. (type strain 20342T=ATCC 27865T=CCUG 30142T=CIP 103135T=JCM 1154T=LMG 6903T=NRRL B-14852T) is proposed to accommodate C. piscicola.
This paper reports the first isolation of a spotted fever group rickettsia from an Amblyomma cooperi ixodid collected capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) in endemic area County Pedreira, State São Paulo, Brazil. Isolation was performed Vero cell culture and submitted to immunofluorescence, using antibody Rickettsia rickettsii-positive human serum.
The optimal strategy for identification of hemodynamically stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) at risk death and clinical deterioration remains undefined.
