Peptide vaccines designed with the aid of immunoinformatic against Caseous Lymphadenitis promotes humoral and cellular response induction in mice.

Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA) is a chronic disease that affects also small ruminants. CLA is caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and is responsible for high economic losses due to the formation of superficial and visceral granulomas, the latter is considered as asymptomatic CLA causing high levels of dissemination. Several vaccination strategies, in which the use of synthetic peptides stands out.

Effects of the essential oil of Alpinia zerumbet (Pers.) B.L. Burtt & R.M. Sm. on healing and tissue repair after partial Achilles tenotomy in rats.

Purpose:: To investigate the cellular response to injury, analyzing histopathologic changes associated with increased cellularity, degeneration and disorganization of collagen fibers.

Methods:: Thirty wistar rats were divided in two groups after partial Achilles tenotomy: the right hind paw were treated with the essential oil of Alpinia zerumbet (EOAz), diluted to 33% (0.3 mL kg-1), and the left hind paw received sunflower oil for 3, 14, 30 and 90 days.

Engineered surface scatterers in edge-lit slab waveguides to improve light delivery in algae cultivation.

Most existing photobioreactors do a poor job of distributing light uniformly due to shading effects. One method by which this could be improved is through the use of internal wave-guiding structures incorporating engineered light scattering schemes. By varying the density of these scatterers, one can control the spatial distribution of light inside the reactor enabling better uniformity of illumination.

Clinical findings in 32 patients with 22qll.2 microdeletion attended in the city of Córdoba, Argentina.

The 22q11.2 microdeletion is the most common deletion syndrome, with a prevalence of 1/4000-1/6000 among newborn infants and a wide phenotypic variability. The diagnosis of the 22q11.

[Extra-pulmonary and pleural tuberculosis in patients non HIV, in a tertiary hospital].

We studied pulmonary and extra-pulmonary and pleural tuberculosis tuberculosis (TB) (EPPT) in HIV negative patients in a tertiary hospital. We retrospectively studied all the in patients diagnosed EPPT over the last three years. Clinical data was obtained from the medical records.
