<p>El metil mercurio (MeHg) es un contaminante ambiental tóxico y nocivo que se bioacumula biomagnifica en la cadena trófica. La tortuga Trachemys scripta elegans (Tse), considerada centinela de contaminación debido a su longevidad, posee eritrocitos (RBCs) nucleados con afinidad del 90% por MeHg. Este estudio determinó citotoxicidad genotoxicidad in vitro MeHg sobre RBCs Tse concentracio...

Introduction T2-weighted MR imaging of edema in acute myocardial infarction (MI) provides a means of differentiating acute and chronic MI and for assessing the area-at-risk of infarction. Standard T2-weighted imaging of edema uses a turbo-SpinEcho (TSE) readout with dark-blood preparation. Dark-blood TSE methods are subject to artifacts such as posterior wall signal loss due to cardiac motion a...

This note investigates the minimal number of unilateral thrusters required for diierent versions of nonlinear controllability of a planar rigid body. For one to three unilateral thrusters, we get a new property with each additional thruster: one thruster yields small-time accessibility on the body's state space TSE(2); two thrusters yield global controllability on TSE(2); and three thrusters yi...

In Australia, the occurrence of all human transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) is surveyed by the Australian National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Registry (ANCJDR). While prospective surveillance commenced in October 1993, the ANCJDR also retrospectively ascertained cases that occurred between 1970 and 1993. During the surveillance period of 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009, the ANCJDR r...

Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of deer and elk, is one of a group of fatal, neurologic diseases that affect several mammalian species, including human beings. Infection by the causative agent induces accumulations of an abnormal form of prion protein (PrPres) in nervous and lymphoid tissues. This report documents the presence of PrPres within ecto...
