El control de los roedores: revisión de los rodenticidas registrados en el ámbito de la sanidad ambiental en España
2004
Josefa Moreno Marí, Jesús López Ferrer y Ricardo Jiménez Peydró josefa (moreno@uv.es) Actualmente se precisa del empleo de los llamados rodenticidas, definidos como productos biocidas empleados para el control de roedores. En la reciente transposición de la Directiva de Biocidas a través del Real Decreto 1054/2002, los rodenticidas se incluyen en el Grupo Principal 3, Tipo de Producto 14. Se analiza la situación actual de los rodenticidas en el Registro Oficial de Plaguicidas. El estudio se ha realizado a partir de los datos que figuran en la base de datos del Registro Oficial de Plaguicidas de Uso en Salud Pública de España para los rodenticidas (ingredientes activos técnicos) y formulados…
Method for Reproducible Shipboard Segmented Flow Analysis Ammonium Measurement Using an In-House Reference Material for Quality Control
2021
Ammonium is a fundamental nutrient for phytoplankton growth in seawater and is a key component of the microbial loop. Ammonium measured in parallel with other nutrients is crucial in understanding the small temporal scale changes in oceanographic ecology. Despite the importance of measuring ammonium at sea, owing to its lability, there is no consensus on the best method. The lack of availability of certified reference materials for ammonium in seawater also makes it difficult to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of ammonium measurements. In this study we present a modified segmented flow analysis method using ortho-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) with fluorescence detection to measure ammonium…
Effects of exercise and dietary interventions on serum metabolites in men with insomnia symptoms: A 6-month randomized controlled trial
2020
Abstract Accumulating evidence show that exercise and diet interventions are associated with improved sleep quality. Studies investigating the effects of exercise and dieting on circulating metabolomics in people with sleep disorders, particularly insomnia, are scarce. This 6-month randomized study aimed to assess the effects of exercise and dietary interventions on serum metabolites in men with insomnia symptoms. Seventy-two Finnish men (age: 51.6 ± 10.1 years) with chronic insomnia symptoms who were assigned to different intervention groups completed this study (exercise, n = 24; diet, n = 27; and control, n = 21). The Shapiro-Wilk W-test, Levene test, Spearman correlation analysis, and a…
Melhoramento ético das práticas em saúde: Comitês de Bioética em Espanha e Brasil
2017
O compartilhamento solidário de experiências entre Brasil e Espanha reposiciona a importância de novos espaços democráticos de participação cidadã e debate ético-político, suscitando questões como: a participação em Comitês Bioéticos pode ir em direção às necessiades-interesses sociais presentes na singularidade da relação profissional-paciente e equipe de saúde? No Brasil, a participação dos profissionais em fóruns construídos para ampliação do controle social e debate da ética, avança como permanente desafio. A ampliação da deliberação em coletivos de debate e equipes de saúde, precisa assumir novo sentido público social na construção da relação profissional-usuário-sistema de saúde-socie…
Pre-conceptional and Peri-Gestational Maternal Binge Alcohol Drinking Produces Inheritance of Mood Disturbances and Alcohol Vulnerability in the Adol…
2018
Although binge drinking is on the rise in women of reproductive age and during pregnancy, the consequences in the offspring, in particular the inheritance of alcohol-related mood disturbances and alcohol abuse vulnerability, are still poorly investigated. In this study, we modeled both Habitual- and Binge Alcohol Drinking (HAD and BAD) in female rats by employing a two-bottle choice paradigm, with 20% alcohol and water. The exposure started 12 weeks before pregnancy and continued during gestation and lactation. The consequences induced by the two alcohol drinking patterns in female rats were assessed before conception in terms of behavioral reactivity, anxiety- and depressive-like behavior.…
Exploring the Relationship Between the Acceptability of an InternetBased Intervention for Depression in Primary Care and Clinical Outcomes: Secondary…
2019
Background: Depression is one of the most prevalent psychological disorders worldwide. Although psychotherapy for depression is effective, there are barriers to its implementation in primary care in Spain. The use of the Internet has been shown to be a feasible solution. However, the acceptability of Internet-based interventions has not been studied sufficiently. Objective: To assess the acceptability of an Internet-based intervention (IBI) for depression in primary care, and explore the relationship between expectations and satisfaction and the improvement in the clinical variables in primary care patients receiving this intervention. Furthermore, it offers data about the effects of some s…
A Self-Contained and Automated Method for Flood Hazard Maps Prediction in Urban Areas
2020
Water depths and velocities predicted inside urban areas during severe storms are traditionally the final result of a chain of hydrologic and hydraulic models. The use of a single model embedding all the components of the rainfall&ndash
Evoked responses to transcranial and electrical stimulation during isometric and lengthening contractions of the soleus muscle
2011
The aim of this study was to assess differences in motor control between isometric and lengthening contractions of the soleus muscle. Evoked responses to TMS (MEPs) and electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerve (H-reflexes) where recorded at rest and during isometric and lengthening contractions of the soleus muscle at 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% MVC. Torque and background EMG were averaged over a time window of 100ms prior to stimulation. MEPs were found to be significantly lower (P < 0.05) during lengthening contractions compared to isometric contractions at 40%, 60% and 80% MVC (10.95 ± 0.05 mV vs 9.93 ±0.06 mV ; 1.47 ± 0.07 mV vs 9.7 ± 0.08 mV; 11.48 ± 0.08 mV ± vs 10.14 ± 0.07 mV). The …
Desarrollo de formulaciones de liberación controlada para enfermedades inflamatorias
2022
Las enfermedades inflamatorias con componente autoinmune de la piel y del tracto gastrointestinal, como son la psoriasis y la dermatitis atópica y la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, respectivamente, son enfermedades prevalentes que necesitan mejorar su tratamiento. La ciclosporina A es un fármaco inmunosupresor que ha demostrado ser efectivo para el tratamiento de enfermedades autoinmunes, pero también sus efectos adversos a nivel sistémico. En el caso de las enfermedades cutáneas, la administración por vía tópica de este fármaco aportaría grandes ventajas como la posibilidad de actuar a nivel local y evitar efectos sistémicos. Sin embargo, la ciclosporina A presenta un tamaño molecular…
Design of novel targeted polymer therapeutics as combination therapy for the treatment of brain metastasis - overcoming the blood-brain barrier
2022
El cáncer de mama es la segunda causa más común de metástasis cerebrales, siendo el cáncer de mama HER2 positivo y el triple negativo (CMTN) los subtipos con mayor incidencia. Las metástasis cerebrales conllevan un mal pronóstico (la supervivencia de los pacientes con CMTN que desarrollan metástasis cerebrales oscila entre tres y cuatro meses) y deterioro neurológico. El tratamiento de las metástasis cerebrales de cáncer de mama se basa en terapias locales, ya que la barrera hematoencefálica impide la acumulación de terapias administradas sistémicamente en el cerebro. En este contexto, nosotros hemos desarrollado nuevos conjugados polipéptido-fármaco dirigidos a cerebro, biodegradables y bi…
