Differentiation of cells both in structure & function generally depends on gene expression rather than on any changes in the nucleotide sequence of the cell’s genome. The key objective of this paper was to verify that no “junk DNA” at all in the human genome and to confirm the fact that the synthesizer of generations of Homo sapiens & of all other genomic-things is the Genome.

This study presents the development of a practical model to evaluate the perception of Project Management Office value as seen by project managers. Questions compiled through literature review and interaction with project managers are presented first. An exploratory factor analysis was used to define the best grouping of the items within factors that could be interpretable under the reviewed literature. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed model, we performed a confirmatory analysis using the Partial Least Square variant of the Structural Equation Modeling.

In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the classification proposed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) of bitches with pyometra. The most of the bitches in the current study (96.87%, 31/32) were classified as ASA IV, receiving the emergency classifier (E), because pyometra is considered an emergency disease. Only one bitch was classified as ASA V E. There were three deaths, two in ASA IV patients and one in ASA V patient, probably related to the severity of the disease. In this way, the mortality rate reached 9.375%.
