The present study aimed to describe the bacterial community present at an anaerobic up flow bioreactor with ANAMMOX activity, inoculated with the sludge from the anaerobic pond of a swine slurry treatment system. The description was based on the molecular DNA techniques using primers for amplification of complete 16S rRNA gene and also new primers to amplify smaller fragments from 16S rRNA. During the bioreactor operation time, the bacterial community changed significantly, increasing the nitrogen removal efficiency, reaching after 500 days a removal rate of 94%. The complete PCR amplification of 16S rRNA gene generated 17 clones, where three presented similarity with Candidatus Jettenia asiatica (97%), twelve with Janthinobacterium (99%) and two with uncultured clones. The PCR amplification of 436 base pairs had generated 12 clones, of which eight presented 96-100% similarity with Candidatus Anammoxoglobus propionicus, Planctomycete KSU-1 and one with Pseudomonas sp. (99%) and three with uncultured clones.

Embora seja um evento raro, a perda de stent não-expandido no interior de artéria coronária tem consequências potencialmente graves, como necessidade de intervenção cirúrgica para sua retirada ou trombose aguda. O resgate por via percutânea é factível e com altos índices de sucesso quando o stent se encontra no terço proximal da artéria. Relatamos um caso de retirada de stent que se desprendeu do sistema de liberação no terço proximal da artéria coronária direita.

Although losing a non-expanded stent inside a coronary artery is a rare event, it may have potentially severe consequences, such as cardiac surgery for its removal or even acute thrombosis. The percutaneous rescue of the stent is feasible and has high success rates when it is located in the proximal third of the coronary artery. We describe a case of the rescue of a stent detached from the delivery system in the proximal third of the right coronary artery.

A associação entre a doença arterial coronariana e a púrpura trombocitopênica é rara e implica em algumas dificuldades quando a revascularização se faz necessária. Relatamos um caso dessa associação, com importante comprometimento coronariano, tratado percutaneamente com o implante de stent.

The association between coronary heart disease and thrombocytopenic purpura is rare and poses some difficulties when myocardial revascularization is necessary. We report a case with this association and significant coronary impairment, which was percutaneously treated with stent implantation.
