INSIGHTS INTO THE ORIGIN OF THE HIGH VARIABILITY OF MULTIVALENT-MEIOTIC ASSOCIATIONS IN HOLOCENTRIC CHROMOSOMES OF TITYUS (ARCHAEOTITYUS) SCORPIONS.

Insights into the origin of the high variability of multivalent-meiotic associations in holocentric chromosomes of Tityus (Archaeotityus) scorpions.

Scorpions represent an intriguing group of animals characterized by a high incidence of heterozygous chromosomal rearrangements.In this work, we examined six species of Tityus (Archaeotityus) from Brazilian fauna with a particular focus on elucidating the rearrangements responsible for the intraspecific variability of diploid number and the presenc

Withdrawal/Withholding of Life-Sustaining Therapies: Limitation of Therapeutic Effort in the Intensive Care Unit

Background/Objectives: The change in critically ill patients makes limitation of therapeutic effort (LTE) a widespread practice when therapeutic goals cannot be achieved.We aimed to describe the application of LTE in a post-surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU), analyze the measures used, the characteristics of the patients, and Chandeliers their evol

Electronic Correlations, Jahn-Teller Distortions and Mott Transition to Superconductivity in Alkali-C60 Compounds

The discovery in 1991 of high temperature superconductivity (SC) in A3C60 compounds, where A is an alkali ion, has been rapidly ascribed to a BCS mechanism, in which the pairing is mediated by on ball optical phonon modes.While this has lead to consider Gaffer Tape that electronic correlations were not important in these compounds, further studies
