Article Synopsis
- Jaccoud arthropathy (JA) is a type of joint condition commonly seen in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is not due to bone erosion or destruction.
- This study aimed to investigate the link between specific genetic polymorphisms (HLA, STAT4, IRF5, and BLK) and the occurrence of JA in Brazilian SLE patients.
- Results showed that the presence of the A allele of the rs13277113 polymorphism in the BLK gene is potentially associated with JA, but more research in larger groups is needed to verify these findings.
Introduction: Inadequate wastewater treatment and fecal contamination have a strong environmental impact on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study evaluated the profile of AMR enterobacteria and fecal contamination from four surface waters: Jiquiriça-Brejões River and Cabrito, Tororó, and Abaeté Lagoons.
Methods: We analyzed AMR β-lactamase genes using the polymerase chain reaction method and fecal contamination using Coliscan®.
Introduction: Biomphalaria glabrata is considered to be responsible for the incidence of schistosomiasis in Brazil. Therefore, surveillance of areas where schistosomiasis is prevalent is fundamental for public health planning. This study was aimed to evaluate B.
