Mosquito species occurrence in association with landscape composition in green urban areas
(2018) [Journal article]Aedes aegypti prefers densely populated habitats, but has been shown to explore less anthropogenic environments. We investigated composition of the abundance of mosquitoes in forested areas and assessed relationships between ... -
Motor cortex excitability and BDNF levels in chronic musculoskeletal pain according to structural pathology
(2016) [Journal article]The central sensitization syndrome (CSS) encompasses disorders with overlapping symptoms in a structural pathology spectrum ranging from persistent nociception [e.g., osteoarthritis (OA)] to an absence of tissue injuries ... -
Motor skill training promotes sensorimotor recovery and increases Microtubule-Associated Protein-2 (MAP-2) immunoreactivity in the motor cortex after intracerebral hemorrhage in the rat
(2013) [Journal article]Motor skill learning may induce behavioral and neurophysiological adaptations after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Learning a new motor skill is associated with dendritic reorganization and requires protein synthesis and ... -
Mouse embryonic stem cells: the establishment of the system to produce differentiated cell types in vitro
(2003) [Journal article]During the last few years, embryonic stem (ES) cells have been a new tool in cell biology which is very promising for the scientific community to develop new cell therapies. ES cells are the only cell type that can ... -
Movement and longitudinal distribution of a migratory fish (Salminus brasiliensis) in a small reservoir in southern Brazil
(2019) [Journal article]We investigated whether the movement and distribution of the migratory fish, Salminus brasiliensis, were affected by a small reservoir. We also examined how movement and distribution were related to water temperature, flow, ... -
Movement pattern of Spartocera dentiventris (Berg) (Hemiptera: Coreidae) in an experimental crop of Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae)
(2002) [Journal article]In the present work we investigated the movement pattern of Spartocera (=Corecoris) dentiventris (Berg) (Hemiptera: Coreidae) adults through the mark-release-recapture method in an experimen- tal tobacco crop (Nicotiana ... -
MSX1 and PAX9 investigation in monozygotic twins with variable expression of tooth agenesis
(2013) [Journal article]Non-syndromic agenesis of permanent teeth is one of the most common anomalies in human development, a multifactorial characteristic caused by genetic and environmental factors. We describe a pair of monozygotic twins who ... -
Mucopolissacaridose tipo I em cão
(2021) [Journal article]Background: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of rare illnesses caused by deficient activity of enzymes required for degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Each type of MPS is caused by mutations in one of the ... -
Mucopolysaccharidoses : from understanding to treatment, a century of discoveries
(2012) [Journal article]After the first description of a patient recognized as a MPS case was made in 1917, several similar cases were described and identified. Observations reported in the middle of the twentieth century concerning the presence ... -
Mucopolysaccharidoses in northern Brazil : targeted mutation screening and urinary glicosaminoglycan excretion in patients undergoing enzyme replacement therapy
(2011) [Journal article]Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are rare lysosomal disorders caused by the deficiency of specific lysosomal enzymes responsible for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation. Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) has been shown to reduce ... -
Mucopolysaccharidosis I, II, and VI : brief review and guidelines for treatment
(2010) [Journal article]Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are rare genetic diseases caused by the deficiency of one of the lysosomal enzymes involved in the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) breakdown pathway. This metabolic block leads to the accumulation of ... -
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) : assessment of joint mobility and grip and pinch strength
(2008) [Journal article]Objetivo: Descrever o perfil de mobilidade articular e das forças de garra e de pinça de indivíduoscomMPSVI, além de sua correlação com a excreção urinária de glicosaminoglicanos, atividade da ARSB e distância percorrida ... -
Mucopolysaccharidosis VII in Brazil : natural history and clinical findings
(2021) [Journal article]Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII), also known as Sly syndrome, caused by defciency of the lysosomal enzyme β-glucuronidase, is an ultra-rare disorder with scarce epidemiological data and few publications ... -
As mudanças nas concepções de ciência e educação na história do ocidente : a conjunturalidade dessas noções e suas adaptações para o século XXI
(2020) [Journal article]As concepções que temos de ciência e educação são historicamente construídas de acordo com especificidades conjunturais, passando ora por visões simplistas, ora por visões mais complexas. Passamos por mudanças de paradigmas ... -
Multicentric glioblastoma arising in two unusual sites : cerebellum and thalamus
(2013) [Journal article]Multicentric glioblastomas (MGBM) arising in infra/supratentorial regions are uncommon lesions. The authors report a case of MGBM in a 61 year-old female patient, who presented a sudden onset of left hemiplegia. The magnetic ... -
Multi-criteria analysis applied to landslide susceptibility mapping
(2017) [Journal article]This paper presents the application of a multi-criteria analysis (MCA) tool for landslide susceptibility assessment in Porto Alegre municipality, southern Brazil. A knowledge driven approach was used, aiming to ensure an ... -
