ABSTRACT The community composition of parasites was characterized in Astronotus ocellatus from a tributary of the Amazon River, northern Tridonic LED Drivers Brazil.The prevalence was 87.9%, and a total of 526,052 parasites were collected, with a mean of 15,941 parasites per host.Nine taxa of ecto- and endo-parasites were identified, but Ichthyopht
Abstract Indoxyl sulfate (IS) accumulates in the body in chronic kidney disease (CKD).In the renal proximal tubules, IS excretion is mediated by OAT1/3 and ABCG2.These transporters are inhibited by some hypouricemic agents; OATs by probenecid and benzbromarone, ABCG2 by febuxostat and benzbromarone.Thus, we evaluated whether hypouricemic agents inc
Honey is a sweet and healthy food produced by honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) from flower nectars.Using bidimensional zymography, we have detected the, until now unrevealed, proteolytic activities present in row honey samples.The resulting zymograms were specific for each type of the four unifloral honey under study, and enzymes were identified Trido
This contribution examines the conspicuous presence of lexical blends in the long-running US television show The Simpsons and consists of two parts.The first part involves the formal analysis of 237 nonce blends in the original English-language version of the show, working on the underlying hypothesis that, despite their novelty, the audience is no
Abstract In this paper, the existence, uniqueness and iterative approximations of fixed points for contractive mappings of integral type in complete metric spaces are established.As applications, the Polishing Paste existence, uniqueness and iterative approximations of solutions for a class of functional equations arising in dynamic programming are
