We present a case of a 34-year-old male with dilated cardiomyopathy in whom we performed a new surgical procedure; i.e., ventricular volume reduction to improve function. This initial human… (More)
We intended to evaluate the relative contribution of primary production versus allochthonous carbon in the production of bacterial biomass in a mesotrophic estuary. Different spatial and temporal… (More)
The bacterioplankton density in Ria de Aveiro, a shallow estuarine ecosystem, varied in the broad range of 1.9-10.6 × 109 cells L-1. The range of values was about 2 times higher in brackish water… (More)
The response of bacterial growth to phytoplankton production and planktonic respiration (RESP) variation was examined over different stations and dates in the shallow estuarine system Ria de Aveiro.… (More)
Bacterial density and productivity were investigated along four salinity gradients within the estuary Ria de Aveiro. Bacterial variables and environmental parameters were measured at three to four… (More)
Bacterial utilization of monomers is recognized as an important step in the biogeochemical cycling of organic matter. In this study we have compared the heterotrophic activity of bacterial… (More)
The possibility that two principlal bacterial communities expressing different levels of heterotrophic activity might coexist in an estuarine ecosystem (Ria de Aveiro, Portugal) and could quickly… (More)
Various aspects of the parasitims of caterpillars ofAscia monuste orseis byCotesia ayerzai, were studied in laboratory choice tests. Individual ♂♂ were found to be extremely variable in ovipositional… (More)
This study aims to provide a better follow-up of parasuicidal subjects, focusing on their diagnostic profile with regard to whether the parasuicide intention was death or not. A total of 235… (More)
