Unlabelled: Chronic otitis media has a high prevalence on the population and their treatment continuous to be a challenge for the otorhinolaryngologists.
Aim: To demonstrate the factors that could interfere in the tympanoplasty success and the surgical results during 2002.
Study Design: Clinical prospective.
Material And Method: were included 37 patients with chronic otitis media non cholesteatoma (COMNC) undergo to tympanoplasty (in lay or underlay, with homologous graft). All the patients were submitted to a survey pre and postoperative include clinical, physical examinations, flexible nasal endoscope and audiometry.
Results: The age, the dimension and localization of the tympanic membrane perforation; the condition of middle ear mucosa; number of otorrhea/year; smoking; parents history of otorrhea and hearing loss; personals history of otological surgery; monthly family income; the graft, technique and access used were not significantly to repair tympanic membrane perforations. The closure rate was 65% and the gain in air-bone gap was 100%.
Conclusion: The timpanoplasty must be considerate in the treatment of the COMNC.

Studies have noted the connection between Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) and autoimmunity. MAP is an intracellular pathogen that infects and multiplies in macrophages. To overcome the hostile environment elicited by the macrophage, MAP secretes a battery of virulence factors to neutralize the toxic effects of the macrophage.

The major limiting factor of photosynthesis in C3 plants is the enzyme, rubisco which inadequately distinguishes between carbon dioxide and oxygen. To overcome catalytic deficiencies of Rubisco, cyanobacteria utilize advanced protein microcompartments, called the carboxysomes which envelopes the enzymes, Rubisco and Carbonic Anhydrase (CA). These microcompartments facilitate the diffusion of bicarbonate ions which are converted to CO by CA, following in an increase in carbon flux near Rubisco boosting CO fixation process.

Background: Recent studies suggest genome-wide-association-studies (GWAS) loci confer their effects on microglia in late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) brains. Relatively fewer studies have investigated the effects of other genome-wide significant loci (p<5e) using human neurons.
Method: GWAS itself cannot directly identify causal variant-(effector)gene-pairs as GWAS only reports the sentinel variant at a given locus.

Background: It is believed that delayed perseveration on a semantic verbal fluency (SVF) test may occur due to impaired working memory (WM). However, the relation between perseveration and switching, and the self-generated interference one has to overcome when switching back to a previously visited subcategory has not been explored. In this study we wanted to see: 1) if perseverative errors in SVF test require switching and subsequent switch back to a previously explored subcategory; (2) if this trend would parallel cognitive decline.
