Nurse's life world in organ donation and tissue.

Objectives: to understand the experience of nurses immersed in the everyday world of organ and tissue donation.

Methods: study on the social phenomenology of Alfred Schütz, carried out with 27 nurses who work on Intra-Hospital Committees for Donation of Organs and Tissues for Transplants in states in the Northeast of Brazil. Data were collected through phenomenological interviews and analyzed according to the adopted framework and compared with scientific productions.

Glucose uptake is essential for growth in the extracellular space of the murine placenta.

infects the placenta of its natural bovine host, which results in abortion and transmission of infection to other cattle and to humans. While the metabolism of during chronic infection of the mononuclear phagocyte system has been studied, the nutrients fueling growth of in the placenta are unknown. We found that in mice, glucose is an important carbon source for in the placenta.

ELECTROCHEMOTHERAPY WITH CISPLATIN FOR THE TREATMENT OF A NON-OPERABLE ORAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA IN A LOWLAND TAPIR ().

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant epidermal tumor. Biologic behavior and metastasis rate vary according to species and tumor location. The goal of this study was to report the occurrence and behavior of an oral SCC in a treated with electrochemotherapy.

Variation in wood density across South American tropical forests.

Wood density is a critical control on tree biomass, so poor understanding of its spatial variation can lead to large and systematic errors in forest biomass estimates and carbon maps. The need to understand how and why wood density varies is especially critical in tropical America where forests have exceptional species diversity and spatial turnover in composition. As tree identity and forest composition are challenging to estimate remotely, ground surveys are essential to know the wood density of trees, whether measured directly or inferred from their identity.
