PURPOSE This study evaluates the extent to which bilingual children produce the same or overlapping responses on tasks assessing semantic skills in each of their languages and whether classification analysis based on monolingual or conceptual scoring can accurately classify the semantic development of typically developing (TD) bilingual children. METHOD In Study 1, 55 TD children (ages 4;0 [y...

O estudo de Trattinnickia burserifolia levou ao isolamento dos triterpenos conhecidos ursanos α-amirenona, α-amirina, 3-epi-α-amirina, 3α,16β-diidroxiurs-12-eno; oleananos β-amirenona, βamirina, 3-epi-β-amirina, 3α,16β-diidroxiolean-12-eno; tirucalanos ácidos 3α-hidroxitirucal-8,24dien-21-óico, 3α-hidroxitirucal-7,24-dien-21-óico, e 3-oxotirucal-8,24-dien-21-óico; damaranos dammarenediol-II e 3...

The new species is a member of an apparently monophyletic group within the genus that includes R. flexile, R. walga, R. himanturi, R. burgeri, R. euzeti, R. hawaiiensis, R. urobatidium, R. paratrygoni, R. ditesticulum, R. tetralobatum, R. margaritense, R. biorchidum, and R. spinicephalum. All of these species have bothridia with medial longitudinal septa, a constriction at mid-bothridium, and, ...

1) In contrast to the claims by Brunetti et al. (1), we have never reported in meeting abstracts any consistent associations between HMGA1 variants and type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk when all French samples were analyzed together. Trends observed in obese subjects were not confirmed in a larger number of individuals and BMI was finally found not to influence association with T2D susceptibility (2)....

There is increasing evidence that common molecular pathways in neurons are closely linked with mitochondrial function and that mitochondrial dysfunction is connected to various forms of neurodegenerative diseases. For instance, mitochondria are involved in amyloid-b (Ab) deposition in Alzheimer’s disease, although the exact molecular pathways remain largely unknown. Brunetti et al (2015) in thi...
