PHENOTYPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF LEISHMANIA SPP. CAUSING CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS IN THE LOWER AMAZON REGION, WESTERN PARá STATE, BRAZIL, REVEALS A PUTATIVE HYBRID PARASITE, LEISHMANIA (VIANNIA) GUYANENSIS × LEISHMANIA (VIANNIA) SHAWI SHAWI

We phenotypically characterized 43 leishmanial parasites from cutaneous leishmaniasis by isoenzyme electrophoresis and the indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (23 McAbs).Identifications revealed 11 (25.6%) strains of Leishmania (V.) braziliensis, 4 (9.3%) of L.(V.) shawi shawi, 7 (16.3%) of L.(V.) shawi santarensis, 6 (13.9%) of L.(V.) guyane

Category: Diabetes Introduction/Purpose: Multiple experiences with hindfoot intramedullary nailing (HINs) have demonstrated their usefulness for salvage of even the most severe ankle and foot deformities.However, special precautions must be employed when using this procedure in the diabetic with sensory neuropathy and advanced Charcot neuroarthropa

Transition to turbulence in the circular cylinder wake has been studied experimentally and numerically 635 at growing Reynolds number.Good agreement of calculation results with the flow visualization and measurements of instantaneous vector fields of velocity and vorticity has been demonstrated.The growing Reynolds number is shown to make large-sca
