Evaluación de marcadores inmunohistoquímicos de angiogénesis tumoral como factor pronóstico en el adenocarcinoma pulmonar en estadio IA
2019
El cáncer de pulmón (CP) es la neoplasia más frecuentemente diagnosticada y la que más muertes causa en el mundo. A pesar de los avances disponibles en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento aun presenta una tasa de supervivencia entorno al 15%. El objetivo de este trabajo fue investigar y correlacionar factores morfológicos del ADC de pulmón con la expresión de marcadores de angiogénesis tumoral como factor pronóstico, en pacientes resecados y clasificados como T1a-b-cN0M0 patológico, de la 8ª clasificación TNM. Por tanto, se realizó un proyecto de investigación clínica, de naturaleza observacional y analítico, con recogida de datos retrospectivos de los casos a partir de los archivos de historia…
Polymeric scaffolds based on blends of poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) with poly-d-l- lactic acid (PLA) prepared via thermally induced phase separation (TI…
2012
Porous scaffolds based on blends of high crystalline Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) with low crystalline poly-D-L-lactic acid (PLA) were prepared via Ther- mally Induced Phase Separation (TIPS), with the aim of exploring the possibility to control the degradation behaviour of the PLA-based scaffold, simultaneously pre- serving the morphological characteristics required for tissue engineering applica- tions. Porous foams with different PLLA/PLA weight ratios (from 95/5 to 60/40) were produced and characterised in terms of pore size, porosity, and thermal properties. The scaffolds present an open porosity, with average pore sizes ranging from 30 to 70 lm. Results showed that, when dealing with a P…
On the calculation of free energy of mixing for aqueous polymer solutions with group-contribution models
2010
Abstract Liquid–liquid phase separation processes are currently used as a route to prepare polymeric porous structures for various applications (membranes and scaffolds for tissue engineering). In membrane and foam fabrication technologies, binary and mainly ternary polymer solutions are used. Membrane morphology is strongly affected by phase equilibria of processing solution. In order to achieve a better control of membrane morphology and to explore a wide quantity of solvents, a predictive tool addressing experimentals would be strongly advisable. In this paper, group contribution models were chosen to test the applicability on a PLLA–dioxane–water ternary polymer solution, whose experime…
The use of master curves to describe the simultaneous effect of cooling rate and pressure on polymer crystallization
2003
In a previous work a master-curve approach was applied to experimental density data to explain isotactic polypropylene (iPP) behaviour under pressure and high cooling rates. Suitable samples were prepared by solidification from the melt under various cooling rate and pressure conditions with the help of a special apparatus based on a modified injection moulding machine. The approach here reported is more general than the case study previously shown, and is suitable to be applied to several materials and for different measures related to crystalline content. The proposed simple model is able to predict successfully the final polymer properties (density, micro-hardness, crystallinity) by supe…
Tracing the source of gypsum in New Caledonian soils by REE contents and SSr isotopic compositions
1998
Gypsum minerals forming in pedogenic environments in New Caledonia were examined for their S and Sr isotope compositions and REE distributions. Three possible sources were identified: volcanic, soil-derived and marine. However, differentiation based only on the REE contents and normalized patterns was not possible, but, the best preserved volcanic sample yields a negative EuEu∗ anomaly and the lowest GdNYbN ratio due to the high content of organic matter. Mixing calculations of the δ34S values and 87Sr86Sr ratios confirmed that the marine gypsum has a δ34S value close to + 21‰ and an 87Sr86Sr ratio close to 0.70912, and that the volcanic gypsum has a δ34S value of 0‰ and an 87Sr86Sr ratio o…
Effect of protein/essential amino acids and resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy: A case for whey protein
2010
Abstract Regardless of age or gender, resistance training or provision of adequate amounts of dietary protein (PRO) or essential amino acids (EAA) can increase muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in healthy adults. Combined PRO or EAA ingestion proximal to resistance training, however, can augment the post-exercise MPS response and has been shown to elicit a greater anabolic effect than exercise plus carbohydrate. Unfortunately, chronic/adaptive response data comparing the effects of different protein sources is limited. A growing body of evidence does, however, suggest that dairy PRO, and whey in particular may: 1) stimulate the greatest rise in MPS, 2) result in greater muscle cross-sectional …
Calix[4]arenes bridged at the lower rim
1990
Calix[41 arenes, in which two opposite p-positions are linked by an aliphatic chain, and their derivatives show transport or complexation properties strongly dependent on the length of this chain. Bicyclo-calix[4]arenes, a special case of 1,3-bridged calix[41 arenes, and annelated calix[41 arenes, a special case of 1 ,&bridged calix [4] arenes, are also described. Although the preferred conformation of calix[4]arenes is the coneconformation due to its stabilization by a cyclic array of hydrogen bonds between the phenolic hydroxyl goups, these molecules are flexible, with a cone to cone inversion rate of about 150 8-1 for a calix[glarene at 47OC (ref. 1). The cone (or any other) conformation…
Guardia y custodia compartida impuesta
2018
Cuando una pareja con hijos comunes menores de edad deja de convivir surge la necesidad de determinar las reglas o normas por las que se regirá la nueva situación familiar. Estas normas pueden ser de carácter económico o personal. Entre las personales, y una sobre las que más les cuesta decidir a los progenitores, es la relativa al cuidado de los hijos y a cómo se va a dar continuidad a las relaciones con ellos una vez se haya producido la separación. Lo mejor sería que los propios progenitores pudieran llegar a un acuerdo al respecto ya que ellos son los que mejor conocen a sus hijos y los mejores conocedores de la situación que están viniendo. Pero en defecto de acuerdo será necesario det…

Metformin Use and Cognitive Function in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Following a Mediterranean Diet Intervention
2021
Background and Purpose: Both adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and the use of metformin could benefit the cognitive performance of individuals with type 2 diabetes, but evidence is still controversial. We examined the association between metformin use and cognition in older adults with type 2 diabetes following a MedDiet intervention. Methods: Prospective cohort study framed in the PREDIMED-Plus-Cognition sub-study. The PREDIMED-Plus clinical trial aims to compare the cardiovascular effect of two MedDiet interventions, with and without energy restriction, in individuals with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome. The present sub-study included 487 cognitively normal subjects…
