Chemotactic Responses of with Different Host Ranges.

pv. () ( subsp. ) type A is the causal agent of citrus bacterial canker (CBC) on most spp.

Quality of Life in Women after Deep Endometriosis Surgery: Comparison with Spanish Standardized Values.

The quality of life (QoL) of women who have been surgically treated for endometriosis may be severely impaired. Therefore, QoL can be a determining factor in the recovery of these patients. The aims of this study were to evaluate if the QoL of women surgically treated for deep endometriosis differs from a healthy age-matched population from Catalonia (Spain) and to analyze the QoL of these women considering concomitant events.

Assessment of Multilocus Sequence Analysis (MLSA) for Identification of Liberibacter Solanacearum from Different Host Plants in Spain.

is a bacterial group causing different diseases and disorders in plants. Among liberibacters, Liberibacter solanaceraum (CLso) produces disorders in several species mainly within Apiaceae and Solanaceae families. CLso isolates are usually grouped in defined haplotypes according to single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes associated with ribosomal elements.

Homogenizing the Teaching of Engaged Medical Examinations to Large Numbers of Students: the Experience of the Digital Rectal Examination.

This project aims to complement and homogenise the teaching of indications and technique of digital rectal examination (DRE) through the use of simulators, and subsequently analysed the level of satisfaction with the training and skills acquired. The students were distributed into small groups. One of the workshop's coordinators synthesised indications and procedures of DRE.

Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri and Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni: Comparative analysis of two pathogens producing similar symptoms in different host plants.

Comparative studies in Xanthomonas have provided a vast amount of data that enabled to deepen in the knowledge of those factors associated with virulence and Xanthomonas plant interaction. The species of this genus present a wide range of host plants and a large number of studies have been focused to elucidate which mechanism are involved in this characteristic. In this study, comparative genomic and phenotypic analysis were performed between X.

[Complications of radical prostatectomy.].

Objectives: The aim of this article is to classify and describe the different types of complications of radical prostatectomy, their frequency of appearance, as well as the different factors that may influence their development.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was carried out, based on the search of published articles between 2002 and 2015.

Results: Laparoscopic or robotic radical prostatectomy may require conversion into open surgery, and these cases are significantly associated with longer hospital stay and greater rate of complications.

Prediction of infection caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: development of a clinical decision-making nomogram.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the population at risk of infection by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms, using clinical criteria.

Materials And Methods: All urine cultures positive for Enterobacteriaceae in a Spanish hospital department from January 2010 to 2014 were reviewed. All isolates with ESBL-positive strains were collected, and isolates received during the first week of each month with ESBL-negative strains from symptomatic patients hospitalized or admitted to the emergency room.

Focal cryotherapy: step by step technique description.

Introduction And Objective: Focal cryotherapy emerged as an efficient option to treat favorable and localized prostate cancer (PCa). The purpose of this video is to describe the procedure step by step.

Materials And Methods: We present the case of a 68 year-old man with localized PCa in the anterior aspect of the prostate.

Survival predictors in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma with hormonal blockade.

Ki-67 index and clinical-pathological factors such as the Gleason score and the presence of neuroendocrine differentiation have been used for predicting survival in patients with prostate cancer. We examined prostate tissue from 45 patients with advanced prostate cancer who were treated with maximal androgen blockade and analysed their cancer-specific survival (CSS). We assessed the Gleason index, performed an immunohistochemical analysis of Ki-67 (MIB-1) and determined the presence of neuroendocrine differentiation (chromogranin A).

Presence of Extracellular DNA during Biofilm Formation by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri Strains with Different Host Range.

Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) A strain causes citrus bacterial canker, a serious leaf, fruit and stem spotting disease of several Citrus species. X.

Two-Port Laparoscopic Reconstructive Surgery of the Urinary Tract with Reusable Umbilical System (Hybrid Less): A Proof of Concept Study.

Objectives: We compared perioperative results and complications of reconstructive surgery of the urinary tract performed using a multichannel platform through the umbilicus and one additional 3.5-mm with a cohort of patients simultaneously treated with conventional 4-port laparoscopy.

Materials And Methods: Matched-pair study comparing perioperative outcomes, postoperative visual analogue pain scale (VAPS) and morbidity of 2-port (n = 20) and 4-port (n = 10) laparoscopic reconstructive urological surgery.

Two-Port Approach Compared to Standard Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy.

Background And Objectives: Two-port laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) using a multichannel platform through the umbilicus and one additional 10-mm in the right iliac fossa has been recently described. We compare the perioperative and early results of this technique with a cohort of patients simultaneously treated in our institution with four-port LRC and a 7 to 10 cm midline incision.

Materials And Methods: A matched-pair study comparing perioperative outcomes, postoperative visual analog pain scale (VAPS), and morbidity of two-port (n=30) and four-port (n=30) LRC.

Characterization of Penicillium species by ribosomal DNA sequencing and BOX, ERIC and REP-PCR analysis.

The genus Penicillium is one of the largest and widely distributed fungal genera described to date. As a result, its taxonomic classification and species discrimination within this genus has become complicated. In this study, 52 isolates that belonged to the Penicillum genus and other related genera were characterized using two DNA-based methods: (i) analysis of the nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacers in ribosomal DNA and (ii) analysis of DNA fingerprints that were generated by polymerase chain reactions with specific primers for enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) and repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) sequences, and BOX elements.
