La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) supone un importante problema de salud pública mundial, por su elevada prevalencia y morbimortalidad. EPOC es una inflamatoria que causa la obstrucción del flujo aire los pulmones. Los síntomas incluyen dificultad para respirar, tos, producción moco (esputo) sibilancias. Típicamente causado exposición a largo plazo gases irritantes o partículas ...

Stroma, mainly composed by fibroblasts, extracellular matrix (ECM) and vessels, may play a role in tumorigenesis cancer progression. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an independent risk factor for LC. We hypothesized that markers of ECM endothelial cells differ tumors LC patients with/without COPD. Markers cultured cancer-associated fibroblasts normal [CAFs NFs, respectively, vim...

In fish, exhaustive exercise stress differs from steady-state aerobic exercise in causing (1) a depletion of glycogen, creatine phosphate (CP) and ATP reserves and an accumulation of lactate and metabolic acid (H^) in white muscle; (2) blood respiratory and metabolic acidoses {Pcch a n d Hm elevations, respectively); (3) marked ionic and fluid volume disturbances; and (4) a surge in plasma cate...

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effect of interval (INT) and continuous (CON) cycle exercise on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Twelve males first completed a graded exercise test for VO2max and then the two exercise challenges in random order on separate days approximately 1 wk apart. The INT challenge consisted of seven 2 min work intervals at 90% VO2max, ...

Electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC) has been shown to accelerate the rate of many heterogeneous catalytic reactions; however, it has rarely been reported in low-temperature aqueous electrochemical reactions. Herein, we report a significant EPOC effect for the CO2 reduction to generate formate over Pd nanoparticles (NPs) in a 1 M KHCO3 aqueous solution. By applying a negative potential...

OBJECTIVES To describe validation and performance of epoc, a blood gas analysis point-of-care system, in a live clinical setting. METHODS Data were collected for 156 epoc systems over 12 months. Preimplementation precision and correlation studies and postimplementation quality assurance data were collected, including test card, reader, and personal data assistant (PDA) failure rates. RESULT...

EPOC-2 is a public-key cryptosystem that can be proved IND-CCA2 under the factoring assumption in the random oracle model. It was written into a standard specification P1363 of IEEE, and it has been a candidate of the public-key cryptosystem in several international standards (or portfolio) on cryptography, e.g. NESSIE, CRYPTREC, ISO, etc. In this paper we propose a chosen ciphertext attack aga...
