• Abstract

  The research group, employees and students will develop this new project proposal in the Diagnosis Laboratory of Infectious Diseases by Molecular Biology Techniques (LDDITBM), Internal Medicine Department, School of Medical Sciences, UNICAMP, in association with Oswaldo Cruz Mato Grosso do Sul Foundation (FIOCRUZ / MS) and FIOCRUZ /RJ. This project aims to implement and evaluate the metho…

• Abstract

  Mathematical models, when based on solid foundations of Biology, can quantitatively describe biological phenomena. In the case of branches of Biology that study disease transmission, the actors are different species of animals and parasites. Methods of mathematical modeling involving populations and flows among sub-populations (as, for example, the natural history of the disease) are appr…

• Abstract

  Considering the great impact that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) may cause on patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the early diagnosis of this infection is highly important, by using sufficiently sensitive and specific laboratory techniques able to guide previous (preemptive) strategies in immunosuppressing patients. The antigenemia method is considered a gr…

• Abstract

  The incidence of head and neck cancer in the elderly people has been increasing gradually in recent years, and the most prevalent one is squamous cell carcinoma. Several risk factors have been associated with the development of these neoplasms, including smoking, drinking and lack of or irregular oral hygiene. Also the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) has been observed in some of th…

• Abstract

  The goals of this study are to collect clinical and laboratory information directly from the medical charts of pediatric patients, carriers of the HIV virus, followed at the Secondary Immunodeficiency Ambulatory of HC-UNICAMP; to register the information collected and to compare them to themselves and to the literature. The intention is to have, for all practical purposes, medical-scienti…

• Abstract

  Tradução do português para inglêsHuman cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a cosmopolitan virus, its prevalence is in Brazil, approximately 90% and 50% in developed countries. Transmission occurs through contact with infected body fluids and, when found in immunocompromised individuals, infection is much worse the greater the immunosuppression, since it may also affect the lungs to the central nerv…
