Reinfections with Trypanosoma cruzi in patients from endemic areas have been claimed to be an aggravation factor of cardiac manifestations in Chagas' disease. In the present study, the influence of triple infections with strains of different biodemes, on cardiac and skeletal muscle lesions was experimentally tested. Fifty eight mice chronically infected with the Colombian strain (Biodeme Type III) were successively reinfected as follows: 1st group - reinfected with 21 SF strain (Type II) followed by Y strain (Type I ); 2nd - group reinfections with Y strain followed by 21SF strain. Isoenzyme analysis of parasites from hemocultures obtained from triple infected mice, revealed the patterns of three distinct zymodemes in the same animal. Each Trypanosoma cruzi strain was reisolated after four passages in mice on either the 7th, 14th or 30th day after inoculation with the blood of triple infected mice. Histopathology results demonstrated a significant exacerbation of cardiac and skeletal muscle inflammatory lesions, confirmed by morphometric evaluation, in mice with triple infection. No aggravation of parasitism was detected. The possibility of an enhancement of cellular response in the triple infected mice is suggested.

Twenty Coccidioides immitis strains were evaluated. Only 5 of the 20 strains kept under mineral oil maintained their viability while all 5 subcultures preserved in water remained viable and none of the 13 subcultures kept in soil were viable. A 519 bp PCR product from the csa gene confirmed the identity of the strains.

This study compared the serum levels of IL-6, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma, in children under 1 year of age with and without dengue. Sera were collected from a total of 41 children living in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia (27 patients with dengue and 14 controls). The results showed higher cytokine levels in children with dengue than without dengue, with statistically significant differences for IL-6 and IFN-gamma. No statistically significant differences were found between clinical forms, although IL-6 and IFN-gamma levels were higher in dengue fever cases than in dengue hemorrhagic fever cases. On the other hand, TNF-alpha levels were higher in dengue hemorrhagic fever than in dengue fever. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha were higher in secondary infection than in primary infection, although IFN-gamma levels were higher in primary infection. These results suggest that IL-6, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma are involved in dengue infection independently of the clinical form.

Nesta dissertação é realizado o estudo de um motor em disco polifásico com armadura convencional e rotor que pode ser convencional, em alumínio, ou composto por material supercondutor de alta temperatura multi‐semente. O motor com o rotor em alumínio apresenta um comportamento assíncrono bem definido, baseado na lei geral de indução de eletromotrizes no induzido. Contudo, ao ser mergulhado em azoto líquido, evidencia melhores características eléctricas, tanto do induzido como do indutor, mesmo que o núcleo ferromagnético convencional possa exibir degradação magnética. O motor com o rotor SAT exibe um comportamento distinto, evidenciando ambos os regimes síncrono e assíncrono estáveis. O regime síncrono fica caracterizado pelo fenómeno de aprisionamento de campo, que garante que o rotor gire síncrono com o campo girante do estator. Em regime assíncrono, para um determinado valor de binário resistente aplicado superior ao electromagnético máximo desenvolvido pelo motor, o fenómeno de escoamento de campo está presente, sendo o binário electromagnético motor reforçado por um binário extra de perdas de carácter resistivo desenvolvidas no rotor devido à interacção da densidade de corrente a campos eléctricos que se estabelecem no rotor. Neste caso, o fenómeno de escoamento de campo não é devido a forças de Lorentz que se definem na matriz de Abrikosov, mas sim devido a esta ser “puxada” pelo campo girante do estator, ficando a matriz a deslizar sobre o rotor. De modo a obter as características dos sistemas electromecânicos em estudo é realizada uma análise teórica, baseada na teoria convencional das máquinas eléctricas, com o objectivo de compreender alguns dos fenómenos do motor de fluxo axial, e uma análise baseada num programa comercial de elementos finitos onde o fenómeno da supercondutividade é simulado com base na relação entre o campo elétrico e a densidade de corrente pela lei da potenciação (E‐J power law). O ensaio dos motores referidos é realizado para comparar ambos os sistemas e de realçar o princípio de funcionamento e as características mais relevantes de cada um. Da análise realizada é desenvolvido um modelo que caracteriza o funcionamento da máquina com o rotor com SAT.

This dissertation aims to guarantee the integration of a mobile autonomous robot equipped with many sensors in a multi-agent distributed and georeferenced surveillance system. The integration of a mobile autonomous robot in this system leads to new features that will be available to clients of surveillance system may use. These features may be of two types: using the robot as an agent that will act in the environment or by using the robot as a mobile set of sensors. As an agent in the system, the robot can move to certain locations when alerts are received, in order to acknowledge the underlying events or take to action in order to assist in resolving this event. As a sensor platform in the system, it is possible to access information that is read from the sensors of the robot and access complementary measurements to the ones taken by other sensors in the multi-agent system. To integrate this mobile robot in an effective way it is necessary to extend the current multi-agent system architecture to make the connection between the two systems and to integrate the functionalities provided by the robot into the multi-agent system.

Environmental pollution is one of the major and most important problems of the modern world. In order to fulfill the needs and demands of the overgrowing human population, developments in agriculture, medicine, energy sources, and all chemical industries are necessary (Ali 2010). Over the last century, the increased industrialization and continued population growth led to an augmented production of environmental pollutants that are released into air, water, and soil, with significant impact in the degradation of various ecosystems (Ali 2010, Khan et al. 2013).(...)

Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is caused by inherited or acquired partial deficiency of the uroporphyrinogen-decarboxylase (Uro-D) enzyme activity. It is the most common form of porphyria. The main triggering factors to the development of porphyria cutanea tarda are alcohol, hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus. There are several reports of PCT associated with drugs, among them, antiretroviral therapy. We describe three HIV-positive patients, which showed photosensitivity as well as the emergence of tense blisters on sun-exposed areas during the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and discuss the possibility of PCT after the use of these drugs by those patients.
