13. Ingredients visuais apreendizagem-in teaching of reading in english:a study of semiotic discourse on aspects of computer manuals, in the context of higher teaching / Os componentes visuais no ensino-aprendizagem da leitura em inglês: um estudo dos aspectos semióticos discursivos em manuais de informática, no contexto do ensino superior
The purpose of this stucty was to reflect upon the teaching of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), focusing on reading, as well as to help readers with the construction of meaning through the use of visual components. Having our theoretical basis centered mainly on Swales (1990): Soares (1993): Bronckart (1999); Joly (2002); Santaella (1983, 2000); Magno e

14. Informed Consent (TCLE): compliance in accordance with interference factors / Termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido (TCLE): fatores que interferem na adesão
As pesquisas envolvendo seres humanos geram preocupações éticas, pois os voluntários aceitam riscos e inconveniências com o objetivo de contribuir para o avanço do conhecimento científico e beneficiar outrem. A disposição para participar de pesquisas clínicas se mostra quando o paciente adere ao Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE), co

16. Percoll-purified Treponema pallidum, an improved fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed antigen.
Percoll-purified Treponema pallidum was evaluated as a fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed antigen. Borderline and false-positive reactions were essentially eliminated, resulting in sensitivity and specificity of 100 and 95.5%, respectively. The lack of background debris improved the ease and speed of reading the test.

17. Microtiter Hemagglutination-Inhibition Assay for Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B
The rapid microtiter technique was investigated as a means of facilitating the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B. With this technique, many samples were assayed simultaneously, and readable results were obtained in 3 hr. Other advantages of this method, in addition to speed, were the small quantity of reactants used, ease of reading, and reproducibil

18. Modification of the Microtiter Technique for Antimicrobial Drug Susceptibility Testing by Incorporation of Indicators
A pH indicator and dextrose were incorporated into growth media as a modification of microbial microtiter methods for determining the minimal inhibitory concentration of antimicrobial drugs. This modified method was tested to evaluate the ease of reading end points by changes in the indicator color. Application of the procedure to two media, three indicators

19. API and Minitek systems in identification of clinical isolates of anaerobic gram-negative bacilli and Clostridium species.
A comparison of the API and Minitek methods of biochemical testing was made on a variety of anaerobic bacteria. Although API and Minitek results were not compared to more standardized or conventional procedures of identification, multiple repeat testing of the two systems was done on routine clinical isolates and known organisms to determine (i) whether the

20. Serologic confirmation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by monoclonal antibody-based coagglutination procedures.
Two commercially available monoclonal antibody coagglutination tests, Phadebact Monoclonal GC OMNI Test (PMGOT; Pharmacia Diagnostics AB, Uppsala, Sweden) and GonoGen (GG; New Horizons Diagnostics, Columbia, Md.), for the confirmation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were evaluated. The sensitivities of PMGOT and GG were 99.2 and 98.7% and the specificities were 91.

21. Evaluation of PPLO, A7B, E, and NYC agar media for the isolation of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma species from the genital tract.
Four agar media (PPLO, NYC, A7B, and E) which are commonly used for the isolation of urogenital tract Mycoplasma species and Ureaplasma urealyticum were compared by culturing swabs of the endocervix of 334 pregnant women on all four media. To permit growth of both Mycoplasma and U. urealyticum, selective ingredients were omitted from the media tested. A7B an

22. Evaluation of a Scanner-Assisted Colorimetric MIC Method for Susceptibility Testing of Gram-Negative Fermentative Bacteria
We describe the ScanMIC method, a colorimetric MIC method for susceptibility testing of gram-negative fermentative bacteria. The method is a slight modification of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) recommended broth microdilution method that uses a redox indicator 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) to enhance the estimat

23. Comparison of four methods for rapid detection of Pneumocystis carinii in respiratory specimens.
Four stains for the detection of Pneumocystis carinii in respiratory specimens were compared for sensitivity, specificity, preparation time, and ease of interpretation. One hundred specimens were collected. Of these, 50 were induced sputum specimens and 50 were bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. All specimens were stained with Diff-Quik (DQ) (a modified Giemsa st

24. Evaluation of the syphilis Bio-EnzaBead assay for detection of treponemal antibody.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for Treponema pallidum antibody (Syphilis Bio-EnzaBead Kit; Organon Teknika Corp., formerly Litton Bionetics, Kensington, Md.) was compared with the standard fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test for syphilis (indirect fluorescent-antibody confirmatory test; Zeus Scientific Inc., Raritan, N.J.). Six hundred spec
