Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent concerns about clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) co-administration in patients following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) led us to investigate our practice. Guidance recommends that omeprazole and esomeprazole should not be co-administered with clopidogrel as they can decrease its efficacy. Pantoprazole and lansoprazole are safer for use in these cases. METHODS Patients discharged between August 2008 and July 2009 with a diagnosis of ACS, on both clopidogrel and any PPI, were identified using the pharmacy database. Their notes were retrospectively reviewed, the indication for a PPI was checked and whether an appropriate one had been prescribed was assessed. As a result of our findings a simple algorithm was introduced to set out guidance on appropriate use and junior doctors were informed of the new procedure. We then performed another audit of patients discharged between August 2009 and February 2010 to ensure that the guidelines were being followed. RESULTS During the first phase of the audit 43 out of 91 patients (47.5%) received a PPI with clopidogrel. Following our intervention, re-auditing confirmed that clopidogrel and PPI co-administration had decreased significantly to 27 out of 101 patients (26.7%) (p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS Through a simple intervention with an algorithm and education of junior doctors we have shown that significant improvement and adherence to guidance can be achieved.

Abstract
The large number of microbial genomes deposited in databanks has opened the door for in-depth studies of organisms, including post-genomics investigations. Thanks to new generation sequencing technology, these studies have made advances that have lead to extraordinary discoveries in bacterial transcriptomics. In this review, we describe bacterial RNA sequencing studies that use these new techniques. We also examined the advantages and biases of these new generation technologies; advances in bioinformatics make it possible to overcome the biases, providing interesting and surprising results.

Abstract
The renewed interest in mycology has been reflected in growing use of wild mushrooms in culinary, driven by its nutritional, organoleptic and commercial value. However, the international scientific literature describes several syndromes of poisoning by mushrooms. We live, therefore, a paradigm conducive to an increase of mycetism, whose diagnosis requires a high level of suspicion and knowledge of clinical profiles. In Portugal, the real dimension of this problem is unknown. Although some mycetisms, such as the hepatotoxic syndrome, have high morbidity and mortality, their relative incidences are unknown. Add up to the shortage of international scientific literature, often outdated and inappropriate to clinical practice. In this context, this article provides an updated epidemiological and clinical perspective emphasizing a narrative and descriptive information on the forms of presentation, differential diagnosis and therapeutic approach, with the ultimate goal of the elaboration of a national diagram-oriented approach to decision-making diagnosis. We analyzed all the clinical records of patients admitted into ten hospitals between 1990 and 2008, notified with the code 988.1 of GDH (acute poisoning by mushrooms). There were registered demographic data, way of presentation, time between ingestion and onset of symptoms, the annual distribution, clinical profile, clinical and analytical treatment performed and complications. We identified 93 cases of acute poisoning by mushrooms, with equal gender distribution and inclusion of individuals of all age groups (from 1 to 85 years), but with greater representation from 21 to 50 years. There was a bimodal seasonal pattern, with a higher peak between September and December and a second in the spring. The hepatotoxic profile presentation corresponded to 63.4% and 31.7% of the cases to gastroenteritis syndrome. The mortality in cases of hepatotoxicity was 11.8%. The developmental profile of the rate of prothrombin time (PT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and bilirubin, was an important setting for diagnosis and prognosis. TGO increases early, always within 48 hours, having an essential role in the diagnosis of hepatotoxicity. Despite the late elevation of bilirubin, the cases of death revealed that there was an earlier increase, reaching higher values, which seems to have a prognostic value, to be evaluated with further studies. Finally, we propose a diagram of diagnostic performance, considerating the generalized lack of mycological diagnosis in Portugal, which emphasizes the need for a careful history, focused on quantifying the latency period.

Abstract
The diets of adult brill Scophthalmus rhombus and turbot Scophthalmus maximus from the Portuguese coast relied mostly on fishes. There was a higher diversity of food items compared to their northern counterparts, and several of the identified prey are the first records of these species, including a brown alga, echinoderms, nematodes, oligochaetes, gastropods, bivalves and various fish species. The diet of the two species was significantly different and niche overlap was low.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of essential oil from Tagetes erecta against 3rd instars of Aedes aegypti and to determine the amounts of larvicidal thiophenes in all plant tissues. The oil obtained by steam distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed 14 compounds. The main compounds were piperitone (45.72%), D-limonene (9.67%), and piperitenone (5.89%). The essential oil was active against larvae of Ae. aegypti, with LC50 of 79.78 microg/ml and LC90 of 100.84 microg/ml. The larvicidal thiophene contents were higher in the roots and flowers as demonstrated by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. Thus, T. erecta constitutes a good source of varied compounds showing larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti.
