Physical Activity Differentially Affects the Cecal Microbiota of Ovariectomized Female Rats Selectively Bred for High and Low Aerobic Capacity
2015
The gut microbiota is considered a relevant factor in obesity and associated metabolic diseases, for which postmenopausal women are particularly at risk. Increasing physical activity has been recognized as an efficacious approach to prevent or treat obesity, yet the impact of physical activity on the microbiota remains under-investigated. We examined the impacts of voluntary exercise on host metabolism and gut microbiota in ovariectomized (OVX) high capacity (HCR) and low capacity running (LCR) rats. HCR and LCR rats (age = 27 wk) were OVX and fed a high-fat diet (45% kcal fat) ad libitum and housed in cages equipped with (exercise, EX) or without (sedentary, SED) running wheels for 11 wk (…
[Adverse reactions to human papillomavirus vaccine in the Valencian Community (2007-2011)].
2014
Introduction: In 2009, two cases of seizures in adolescents following quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine (qHPV) administration generated important media attention, and adversely affected public trust in this vaccine. Our objectives were to describe suspected adverse reactions (SARs) reported to the Pharmacovigilance Centre in the Valencian Community (PCVC) after administration of HPV vaccine, and to compare reporting rates of syncope and seizures following this vaccine with those of other vaccines administered to girls aged 13–15 years. Materials and methods: Descriptive study of SARs reported following administration of this vaccine to the PCVC between 2007 and 2011. Results: The cl…
The short die young: the interrelationship between stature and longevity-evidence from skeletal remains.
2005
It has long been observed that tall people display longer life spans. The current data were employed to verify this association within the bioarchaeological context. To this end, stature and its association with age-at-death were analyzed in a pooled sample of 2,923 skeletons. Height was estimated from proxy indicators based on the maximum length of the humerus, radius, femur, and tibia. Stature estimation followed the procedure outlined by Pearson ([1899] Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. [A] 192:169-244), incorporating minor modifications by Rosing ([ 1988] Handbuch der vergleichenden Biologie des Menschen; Stuttgart: Gustave Fischer, p 586-600). Individual age estimates were classified into t…
Estudio transversal de la microbiología salival mediante pirosecuenciación en escolares de la Comunitat Valenciana y su relación con la caries dental
2013
La salud oral, que está fuertemente influenciada por la microbiota oral, ejerce un papel significativo en la salud general. Las comunidades bacterianas orales contienen especies que promueven estados de salud, mientras que otras contribuyen a la enfermedad. Conocer qué especies están presentes y cómo se componen las comunidades microbianas en estados de salud es el primer paso para comprender qué cambios pueden llevar a la enfermedad. El tipo de muestras a utilizar para este tipo de estudios, bien con objetivos epidemiológicos o etiológicos, es crucial. La saliva representa un medio fácil y no invasivo de obtención de muestras que contengan bacterias orales de varias localizaciones como las…

De monstroso partu
1596
1596. g. Rīgā, Nikolausa Mollīna tipogrāfijā nodrukāta humānista Daniela Hermaņa (Daniel Hermann) poēma “De monstroso partu” (Par monstra dzimšanu). Autors precīzi attēlo Livonijā dzimušu bērnu ar iedzimtiem defektiem. Dzejnieks velk paralēles starp bērna deformētajiem orgāniem un valsts politisko un reliģisko stāvokli. Šis monstrs ir zīme jeb simbols Livonijai. Sabiedrībā šie monstri tiek uztverti kā laba vai ļauna zīme, kas pareģo nākotni vai brīdina. 16. gs. tie iegūst simbolisku nozīmi reliģiskās konfrontācijas. Aktuāli jautājumi – vai monstriem ir dvēsele, no kurienes tie cēlušies, kāpēc šādi cilvēki dzimst – izskan poēmas rindās un tiek interpretēti attiecīgi laikmetam. Reizē ar monst…
Estrogen metabolism modulates bone density in men.
2007
Estrogen is a critical hormone for bone homeostasis in men, but no information is available on the role of estrogen metabolism among men. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of estrogen hydroxylation on male bone mineral density (BMD). Participants consisted of 61 healthy Caucasian males (mean age 66.6 +/- 1.0 years). Urinary estrogen metabolites were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, serum estradiol by ultrasensitive radioimmunoassay, sex hormone binding globulin by radioimmunoassay, and BMD of the lumbar spine and the proximal femur by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Active estrogen metabolites, 16alpha-hydroxyestrone (16alphaOHE(1)) and estriol (E(3)), positiv…
