Avaliação da resposta do Plasmodium falciparum à cloroquina, quinino e mefloquina
The present study is concerned with the analysis of Plasmodium falciparum strains from the Brazilian Amazon Region, collected at the Malaria Laboratory - SUCENT. "In vitro" sensitivity tests were performed using chloroquine (46 samples), quinine (42 samples) and mefloquine (51 samples). Results have shown "in vitro" resistance to chloroquine in 100% of the tested samples, to quinine in 2.4% and to mefloquine in 3L4%. Seven patients were treated with quinine and nine with the triple combination (mefloquine plus sulfadoxine plus pyrimethamine). No correlation was shown between the therapeutic response and the "in vitro" tests.Nosso estudo envolveu a análise de cepas de Plasmodium falciparum provenientes da Região Amazônica Brasileira, coletadas no Laboratório de Malária da SUCEN. Os estudos "in vitro" foram efetuados com a cloroquina (46 ensaios), quinino (42 ensaios) e mefloquina (51 ensaios). Os resultados mostraram resistência de 100% em relação à cloroquina, 2,4% ao quinino e 31,4% à mefloquina, na análise "in vitro". Sete pacientes foram tratados com quinino isolado e nove com a associação mefloquina + pirimetamina-sulfadoxina, não mostrando correlação com os testes "in vitro"
Consistency analysis of a nonbirefringent Lorentz-violating planar model
In this work analyze the physical consistency of a nonbirefringent
Lorentz-violating planar model via the analysis of the pole structure of its
Feynman propagators. The nonbirefringent planar model, obtained from the
dimensional reduction of the CPT-even gauge sector of the standard model
extension, is composed of a gauge and a scalar fields, being affected by
Lorentz-violating (LIV) coefficients encoded in the symmetric tensor
. The propagator of the gauge field is explicitly evaluated
and expressed in terms of linear independent symmetric tensors, presenting only
one physical mode. The same holds for the scalar propagator. A consistency
analysis is performed based on the poles of the propagators. The isotropic
parity-even sector is stable, causal and unitary mode for .
On the other hand, the anisotropic sector is stable and unitary but in general
noncausal. Finally, it is shown that this planar model interacting with a
Higgs field supports compactlike vortex configurations.Comment: 11 pages, revtex style, final revised versio
