In July 2007, tar spot symptoms observed on citrus leaves Geiger, sebestena Cordia L. (boraginaceae), in the landscape and commercial nursery in Homestead, FL. This disease appears to be spreading and locally severe. Symptoms are circular, little spots hypertrophy of about 5 to 8 cm in diameter, slightly chlorotic on abaxial surface and has a lot of stromal blackened circular, 0.2-0.4 mm, on the lower surface of leaves. Old and yellowing leaves, the area around the fixed point of pale green.
Embedded in the stroma much Perithecia, 173-312 m diameter, circular to irregular in shape, with a neck that as many as 200 pM lateral length and 73-104 m in diameter. ASCI, 77-92 × 11 to 13 um, are elongated, two-celled ascospores, 50-61 × 3 to 5 um which have narrowing of the striking wall dividing cells. Dimensions and appearance of pathogens fits tightly with those published for Diatractium cordianum (Ellis & Kelsey) Syd (1). Young, asymptomatic C. sebestena leaves were sprayed to runoff with ascospores suspension of approximately 104 ml-1 were harvested from the affected leaves. inoculated leaves were placed on a paper towel saturated with water in petri dishes and kept in a growth chamber at 25 ° C with fluorescent light at 10 h day-1.
Symptoms similar to those observed in the affected trees in the landscape began to evolve after 21 days and Perithecia clear after 28 days. An ITS 1, 2 ITS and 5.8S rDNA sequences deposited in GenBank (Accession No. EU541488). A herbarium specimens deposited in the US National Fungus Collections (BPI No. 878 441). It is a new host record for D. cordianum and is the first time the pathogens have been reported in the United States. previous record comes from Venezuela and several Caribbean islands, including Cuba and Jamaica.
Symptoms of this disease has not been observed in Texas wild olive, Cordia boissieri, near exposed C. sebestena. P. F. Cannon (1) suggests that the disease has no economic impact. However, the striking nature of the C sebestena symptoms and the importance of this tree in South Florida ornamental trade (2) shows that this disease can be significant in the last host.

First Report of Tar Spot on Orange Geiger, Cordia sebestena, Caused by Diatractium cordianum in Florida.
Randomized, controlled clinical pilot study of venous leg ulcers treated with two types of shockwave therapy.
Background. Venous leg ulcers difficult to heal wounds. The basis of their physiotherapeutic treatment is compression therapy. However, over the years, looking for additional or other methods to supplement the treatment of venous ulcers, which would shorten the duration of treatment, are ongoing. One such method is shockwave therapy.
Method. The aim of our study was to compare radial shockwave therapy (R-ESWT) with a focused shockwave therapy (F-ESWT) in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Patients were randomly assigned to a group of trees. In the first group of radial shockwave therapy (0.17mJ / mm2, 100 impulses / cm2, 5 Hz), the second group focused shockwave therapy (0.173mJ / mm2, 100 impulses / cm2, 5 Hz) is used and in the third group used a standard treatment. Patients in the shockwave therapy group were given 6 treatments at intervals of five days.
Total area, circumference, Gilman index, maximum length and maximum width of the ulcer was measured. The third group of patients with wet gauze dressing with salt and gently compressing the elastic bandage used (SWC standard wound care).

Description: Bid Antibody: Apoptosis plays a major role in normal organism development, tissue homeostasis, and removal of damaged cells. Disruption of this process has been implicated in a variety of diseases such as cancer. The Bcl-2 family of proteins is comprised of critical regulators of apoptosis that can be divided into two classes: those that inhibit apoptosis and those that promote cell death. Bid, a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member, is cleaved by caspase-8 in response to apoptotic signals, exposing the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain which is normally buried in the full-length protein. The cleaved complex is myris-toylated and translocated to the mitochondrial membrane where it may induce mitochondrial Bax and Bak to oligomerize.
