Efficiency of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit II gene for the delimitation of termite species (Blattodea: Isoptera) in the state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil.

With the aim of expanding the possibilities of identifying termite species, in the present study we generated genetic data based on sequences of the mitochondrial gene encoding cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (COII) for termites (Blattodea: Isoptera) occurring in the state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. The genetic data were obtained from 135 COII sequences identified in 28 genera and 48 species. These are the first COII sequences for 15 taxa (31.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids Exacerbate Colitis Progression by Lowering Colonic Fumarate Levels.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a gastrointestinal inflammatory condition with an unclear etiology. Recent findings suggest that metabolites play a pivotal role in promoting intestinal health. We have previously observed a significant enrichment in colonic branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in resistant mice to colitis suggesting the potential role of these metabolites in UC development.

A needs assessment of palliative care education in neurology residency programs in Brazil.
