de la vía aérea ante una cirugía de estimada corta duración. Tras la revisión quirúrgica y el diagnóstico de lesión bronquial no susceptible de reparación inmediata se barajaron múltiples opciones para el mantenimiento de la vía aérea como las que proponen los autores. Decidimos no intercambiar el tubo orotraqueal convencional por otros dispositivos por las razones argumentadas en nuestro prime...

AIM Endothelial lipase (EL) is a determinant of plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). However, little is known about the impact of EL activity on plasma lipid profile. We aimed to establish a new method to evaluate EL-specific phospholipase activity in humans. METHODS Plasma samples were obtained from 115 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 154 patients wi...

Objetivo: Analizar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Elección de Alimentos (FCQ) en población española, su estructura factorial y consistencia interna, además de las relaciones entre el FCQ y el Cuestionario de Salud General (GHQ), la Escala de Creencias Irracionales sobre los Alimentos (IFBS) y el Inventario de Trastornos Alimentarios-3 (EDI-3), con el fin de explorar la valide...

Androgen-deficient osteoporosis in men is treated with testosterone therapy, which is associated with side effects. Eurycoma longifolia (EL) is known to possess androgenic properties and has been reported to protect bone from androgen-deficient osteoporosis in experimental animal models. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of combination therapy of EL and testosterone (T) in ...

Trypanosoma cruzi es el agente causal de la enfermedad de Chagas, un paradigma de enfermedad autoimmune inducida por infección. La escasez de parásitos en la fase crónica de la enfermedad contrasta con la severa patología cardíaca observada en aproximadamente un 30% de los pacientes crónicos, y sugiere un papel para la autoinmunidad en el orígen de la patología. Dependiendo de la respuesta inmu...

The expansion of modern human populations in Africa 80,000 to 60,000 years ago and their initial exodus out of Africa have been tentatively linked to two phases of technological and behavioral innovation within the Middle Stone Age of southern Africa-the Still Bay and Howieson's Poort industries-that are associated with early evidence for symbols and personal ornaments. Establishing the correct...

We develop a new approach to carrier transport between the edge states via resonant scattering on impurities, which is applicable both for short and long range impurities. A detailed analysis of resonant scattering on a single impurity is performed. The results are used for study of the inter-edge transport by multiple resonant hopping via different impurities’ sites. It is shown that the total...

In this talk I review the potential of Icecube for revealing physics beyond the standard model in the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos [1].

The weakly electric fish, Gnathonemus peters;;, explores its environment by generating pulsed elecbic fields and detecting small pertwbations in the fields resulting from nearby objects. Accordingly, the fISh detects and discriminates objects on the basis of a sequence of elecbic "images" whose temporal and spatial properties depend on the timing of the fish's electric organ discharge and its b...

We construct and analyze a climate network which represents the interdependent structure of the climate in different geographical zones and find that the network responds in a unique way to El Niño events. Analyzing the dynamics of the climate network shows that when El Niño events begin, the El Niño basin partially loses its influence on its surroundings. After typically three months, this inf...
