Antecedentes/Objetivo: La excreción de endotelina-1 urinaria (UET-1) es mayor en pacientes con enfermedad renal de cualquier etiología, comparados con sujetos normales, por lo que ésta podría servir potencialmente como un marcador de daño renal. Metodología: Comparamos la excreción de UET-1 en 67 pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) con y sin hipertensión (HTA), y en presencia o ausencia de micr...

Introduction: Nowadays, there is special interest in finding a new contraceptive drug with high safety and fewer side effects. Investigations have shown that dill (Anethum graveolens L.) can be used either as a menstrual cycle regulator or contraceptive. Since cell surface terminal sugars have crucial roles in oocyte maturation, fertilization and implantation, in this study we investigated the ...

Two studies evaluated sorting and feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics in randomized block-designed finishing trials. In Exp. 1 (initial BW 342 ± 10 kg, = 1,000), 5 treatments included an unsorted non-ZH fed negative control (-CON), an unsorted ZH fed positive control (+CON), and 3 treatments in which the heaviest 20% within the pen were sorte...

We present here strong numerical and statistical evidence of the fact that the Smale’s 7th problem can be answered affirmatively. In particular, we show that a local minimum for the logarithmic potential energy in the 2-sphere satisfying the Smale’s conditions can be identified with a computational cost of approximately O(N10).

This paper is concerned with the role of the output-capital ratio in growth models. In the first part we highlight the behaviour of the output-capital ratio along the balanced growth path in the models of Solow (1956) and Romer (1986). In the second part we assess the stability of the ratio for some industrial countries. JEL classification: O40, N10

Two experimental factors (dietary treatment with or without pelleted-concentrate supplement (PCS) and sex) were investigated in crossbreed post-weaning calves to monitor their effects on performance, hematological profile, and plasma mineral concentration. Twenty-four post-weaning calves were classified according to sexually (either male or female) and randomly distributed into two dietary trea...

Meeting hard deadlines while also ensuring the integrity of shared data is a diicult problem in real-time systems design. We discuss the key diierences between database con-currency control and concurrency control for hard-real-time systems and describe an approach to adapting advanced con-currency control techniques to systems requiring analytic worst-case latency guarantees. We describe an ex...

Introducción. Los pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y obesidad con frecuencia presentan un mal control glucémico. El exceso de peso, la hiperlipemia y la hipertensión a menudo acompañan a la terapia con insulina en estos pacientes. Objetivo. El objetivo principal de nuestro estudio fue evaluar el efecto de la metformina en pacientes obesos con diabetes tipo 2 previamente tratados con otras...
