Data from: Pairing context determines condition-dependence of song rate in a monogamous passerine bird
2013
Condition-dependence of male ornaments is thought to provide honest signals on which females can base their sexual choice for genetic quality. Recent studies show that condition-dependence patterns can vary within populations. Although long-term association is thought to promote honest signalling, no study has explored the influence of pairing context on the condition-dependence of male ornaments. In this study, we assessed the influence of natural variation in body condition on song rate in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) in three different situations: during short and long encounters with an unfamiliar female, and within heterosexual mated pairs. We found consistent individual differe…
Anthropometric indices, lipid profile, and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein levels in metabolic endotoxemia: A case-control study in Calabar Metrop…
2020
Objectives: To determine the anthropometric indices, lipopolysaccharide-binding proteins (LBP), and lipid profile in patients with metabolic endotoxemia. Methods: The study comprised of 47 patients with metabolic endotoxemia (the metabolic endotoxemia group) and 43 controls (the control group). Patients in the metabolic endotoxemia group were categorized further into three subgroups including the normal weight group (n=8), the overweight group (n=12) and the obese group (n=27). Height, weight, waist, and hip circumference were measured, and waist-hip ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) were calculated. LBP was determined by ELISA and total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprot…
Influencia de la instrumentación con lima única en la calidad de la obturación del sistema de conductos radiculares mediante la técnica de condensaci…

1.- Introducción: el principal objetivo en la terapia endodóncica es simplificar los procedimientos con completa seguridad y eficacia. Como alternativa a los sistemas rotatorios multilima, se crearon los sistemas de lima única de rotación alternante, con el fin de reducir la fatiga cíclica para disminuir el riesgo de fractura de los instrumentos, la deformidad del conducto radicular, rapidez y simplicidad en la conformación. Posteriormente, aparecieron sistemas de lima única de rotación continua que también aumentaron la rapidez y la simplicidad. Con la finalidad de analizar la capacidad de conformar los conductos radiculares de estos sistemas endodóncicos se realizó este estudio. 2.- Objet…
