A new approach to ticagrelor-based de-escalation of antiplatelet therapy after acute coronary syndrome. A rationale for a randomized, double-blind, p…
2021
The risk of ischemic events gradually decreases after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), reaching a stable level after 1 month, while the risk of bleeding remains steady during the whole period of dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT). Several de-escalation strategies of antiplatelet treatment aiming to enhance safety of DAPT without depriving it of its efficacy have been evaluated so far. We hypothesized that reduction of the ticagrelor maintenance dose 1 month after ACS and its continuation until 12 months after ACS may improve adherence to antiplatelet treatment due to better tolerability compared with the standard dose of ticagrelor. Moreover, improved safety of treatment and preserved anti-is…
Is local stiffness, as measured by radio frequency, more sensitive than intima-media thickness?
2013
Aim: The aim of our study was to explore the changes in common carotid arterial intima-media thickness (CCA IMT) and local arterial stiffness to evaluate, non-invasively, early vascular disease in patients with cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and "normal" carotid IMT (6.05 m/s better identified, among patients with IMT <0.9mm, those with cardiovascular risk factors (sensitivity 82.0 % specificity 62.0 %; AUC 0.73). Conclusion. Increased stiffness is a result of change both in quantity and quality of the arterial wall. Arterial functional changes and distention alterations may herald the onset of vascular disease before manifestation of symptoms or detection of preclinical atherosclerotic l…
Local reactions to tick bites
2008
A retrospective histological and immunohistochemical study has been carried out in 25 cases of tick bites recorded in our Departments. The samples that included an attached tick showed a cement cone anchoring the mouthparts to the skin and a blood-soaked, spongiform appearance of the superficial dermis, with a mild neutrophilic and eosinophilic infiltration. The vessels displayed a loose multilayered endothelial proliferation, with plump endothelia, permeated with erythrocytes. A few of them were severed, allowing copious blood extravasation. The established lesions included the following: erythema chronicum migrans-like cases, foreign body granulomas-sometimes containing remnants of the mo…
A promising new ELISA diagnostic test for cattle babesiosis based on Babesia bigemina Apical Membrane Antigen-1.
2016
Babesiosis due to Babesia bigemina is a relevant tick‑borne disease, affecting cattle worldwide. Many surface proteins of the pathogen including the Apical Membrane Antigen 1 (AMA‑1) ‑ have been analysed for vaccine and diagnostic purposes. This study focused on B. bigemina AMA‑1 and on its use for the assessment of diagnostic tests. After bioinformatic analyses, AMA‑1 codifying region was amplified and cloned into an expression vector used to induce protein synthesis in Escherichia coli cells. AMA‑1 was purified by affinity chromatography and used to set up the best condition for an ELISA protocol. Bovine field sera positive to B. bigemina were used to evaluate the presence of anti‑AMA‑1 a…
Vector-borne and zoonotic infections and their relationships with regional and socioeconomic statuses: An ID-IRI survey in 24 countries of Europe, Af…
2021
Background: In this cross-sectional, international study, we aimed to analyze vector-borne and zoonotic infections (VBZI), which are significant global threats. Method: VBZIs’ data between May 20–28, 2018 was collected. The 24 Participatingcountries were classified as lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income. Results: 382 patients were included. 175(45.8%) were hospitalized, most commonly in Croatia, Egypt, and Romania(P = 0.001). There was a significant difference between distributions of VBZIs according to geographical regions(P < 0.001). Amebiasis, Ancylostomiasis, Blastocystosis, Cryptosporidiosis, Giardiasis, Toxoplasmosis were significantly more common in the Middle-East while B…
Possibilitats educatives de les TIC per a població infantil autista: cercadors i programari especialitzat
2010
Este artículo tiene por objeto reflexionar acerca la relación de las TIC con la condición de discapacidad autista y el acceso a la educación. Así mismo, plantea recomendaciones a la hora de integrar herramientas tecnológicas en el contexto escolar del niño autista, presentando al final un recorrido por software y buscadores apropiados para población infantil autista, los cuales pueden ser incorporados en el aula de clase, y que a su vez podrían ser útiles para otras poblaciones.
Detection of tick-borne encephalitis virus in I. ricinus ticks collected from autumn migratory birds in Latvia.
2014
Birds have a potential of spreading ticks via bird migration routes. In this study, we screened 170 ticks removed during autumn 2010 from 55 birds belonging to 10 species for the presence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). In total, TBEV RNA was detected in 14% of I. ricinus tick samples obtained from different birds species. The results of this study indicate the possible role of migrating birds in the dispersal of TBEV-infected ticks along the southward migration route.

No labas ticības principa izrietošie līguma blakuspienākumi
2022
Civillikuma 1.pants noteic, ka: “Tiesības izlietojamas un pienākumi pildāmi pēc labas ticības”. Desmitiem tūkstošu spriedumu, kuros ietvertas atsauces uz šo pantu liecina par tā plašo atpazīstamību, tomēr gan tiesu praksē, gan tiesību doktrīnā joprojām pastāv neskaidrības par šī panta nozīmi. Autors analizēs un sniegs argumentētas atbildes uz šādiem problēmjautājumiem: 1) vai Civillikuma 1.pants ir uzskatāms tikai par rakstītu tiesību normu, vai arī tas ir nerakstītas tiesību normas atspoguļojums; 2) vai šajā pantā aprakstītais princips ir attiecināms tikai uz civiltiesībām; 3) kāds ir šī principa saturs, kodols, vēsturiskā attīstība, un kāda ir tā izpratne citu valstu tiesībās; 4) kādi ir …
Disseny d'un entorn multimèdia i telemàtic aplicat a la Comptabilitat de Costos
2008
El objetivo de este trabajo es desarrollar un modelo virtual-presencial que favorezca un aprendizaje controlado y dirigido por el profesor y donde el estudiante sea el protagonista de su proceso formativo. Las características del entorno multimedia y telemático propuesto se desarrolla sobre la plataforma de e-learning Moodle, si bien los recursos ofrecidos por la misma han sido ampliados con tres innovaciones relevantes: i) el gestor de contenidos, que permite integrar audio, video, documentos, imágenes y cuestionarios; ii) Un generador automatizado de ejercicios autoevaluables, que permite la elaboración de enunciados individualizados para cada estudiante y su solución; iii) Una ficha de e…
