| paleogenomics in a temperate environment: shotgun sequencing from an extinct mediterranean caprine. | background: numerous endemic mammals, including dwarf elephants, goats, hippos and deers, evolved in isolation in the mediterranean islands during the pliocene and pleistocene. most of them subsequently became extinct during the holocene. recently developed high-throughput sequencing technologies could provide a unique tool for retrieving genomic data from these extinct species, making it possible to study their evolutionary history and the genetic bases underlying their particular, sometimes un ... | 2009 | 19461892 |

| occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in artisanal palmero cheese smoked with two types of vegetable matter. | palmero cheese is a fresh smoked cheese from the isle of palma (canary islands), manufactured with goat's milk. to guarantee its safety, the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pah) in artisanal palmero cheese smoked with 2 types of vegetable matter (almond shells and dry prickly pear) was studied. the determination of pah includes extraction and clean-up steps, followed by separation, identification, and quantification of pah by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selected ion-m ... | 2007 | 17517711 |
| [q fever on the island of la palma. a review of 35 patients]. | we present 35 patients diagnosed as suffering from q fever during 1986, 1987, 1988. we establish a diagnosis criteria of complement titres greater than or equal to 1/64 or indirect immunofluorescent titres (iit) 4 or more times higher than the initial, or a maintained title greater than or equal to 1/640 with specific igm detected by positive iit. 80% were male with a median age of 40.3 years. 85% had had contact with goats. 77% lived on the west side of the island 88.5% had increased got and gp ... | 1989 | 2491047 |
