MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CONTRACAECUM PELAGICUM (NEMATODA) PARASITIZING SPHENISCUS MAGELLANICUS (CHORDATA) FROM BRAZILIAN WATERS

Molecular and morphological characterization of Contracaecum pelagicum (Nematoda) parasitizing Spheniscus magellanicus (Chordata) from Brazilian waters

Three new sequences of Mitochondrial cytochrome c-oxidase LAUNDRY LIQUID subunit 2 (mtDNA cox-2) from C.pelagicum parasite of Spheniscus magellanicus, the Magelanicus penguin, were determined from Brazilian waters.The sequences presented 99 and 98% of similarity with C.pelagicum sequences from Argentina, deposited on GenBank for the same genetic re

Placement of transurethral urinary drainage catheter using microwire in a newborn with posterior urethral valve: A better alternative to suprapubic catheterization

Posterior urethral valves (PUV) present significant challenges in neonatal urinary management, often indicating the use of a suprapubic catheter (copyright).However, complications associated with copyright, coupled with specific contraindications call for alternative approaches.Here, we present a case of successful transurethral catheterization in
