Disease Specific Autoantibodies in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
2019
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies represent still a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in different disciplines including neurology, rheumatology, and dermatology. In recent years, the spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies has been significantly extended and the different manifestations were described in more detail leading to new classification criteria. A major breakthrough has also occurred with respect to new biomarkers especially with the characterization of new autoantibody-antigen systems, which can be separated in myositis specific antibodies and myositis associated antibodies. These markers are detectable in approximately 80% of patients and facilitate not only the diag…
Efectos de las consultas boca a boca en redes sociales en la compra de cosméticos en Ecuador.
2022
Las redes sociales han reestructurado el paradigma de la comunicación en el marketing. Investigaciones recientes demuestran que la conducta de consultar reseñas está adquiriendo un rol fundamental en la decisión de compra de los consumidores. En este contexto, el presente estudio desarrolló un marco de investigación para determinar la cadena de relación entre influencia social, credibilidad percibida del boca a boca, adopción del boca a boca e intención de compra aplicada a la industria cosmética del Ecuador. A través de una muestra de 406 consumidores y la aplicación del método de análisis de ecuaciones estructurales, los resultados evidencian el vínculo existente entre las variables plant…

Increased carrier peptide stability through ph adjustment improves insulin and pth(1-34) delivery in vitro and in vivo rather than by enforced carrie…
2020
Oral delivery of therapeutic peptides is hampered by their large molecular size and labile nature, thus limiting their permeation across the intestinal epithelium. Promising approaches to overcome the latter include co-administration with carrier peptides. In this study, the cell-penetrating peptide penetratin was employed to investigate effects of co-administration with insulin and the pharmacologically active part of parathyroid hormone (PTH(1-34)) at pH 5, 6.5, and 7.4 with respect to complexation, enzymatic stability, and transepithelial permeation of the therapeutic peptide in vitro and in vivo. Complex formation between insulin or PTH(1-34) and penetratin was pH-dependent. Micron-size…
Investigation of insulin resistance in narcoleptic patients: dependent or independent of body mass index?
2011
Alice Engel1,2, Jana Helfrich1, Nina Manderscheid1, Petra B Musholt3, Thomas Forst3, Andreas Pfützner3, Norbert Dahmen1,21Department of Psychiatry, University of Mainz, Germany; 2Fachklinik Katzenelnbogen, Katzenelnbogen, Germany; 3IKFE, Institute for Clinical Research and Development, Mainz, GermanyBackground: Narcolepsy is a severe sleep-wake cycle disorder resulting in most cases from a lack of orexin, the energy balance-regulating hormone. Narcoleptic patients have been reported to suffer from an excess morbidity of Type 2 diabetes, even after correction for their often elevated body mass index.Methods: To explore whether narcolepsy is specifically associated with a propensity …
Free school meals as an opportunity to target social equality, healthy eating, and school functioning: experiences from students and teachers in Norw…
2021
Background There are no national arrangements for free school meals provision in Norway despite this being an important opportunity to improve children's and adolescents' nutritional status and ultimately their physical and cognitive development. During a one academic year (2014-2015), a group of Norwegian sixth graders were served a free healthy school meal in a project called 'The School Meal Project'. Objective To explore students' and teachers' experiences of receiving free school meals after the free school meal in 2015 and 5 years later. Design In-depth, semi-structured interviews with separate groups in 2015 and in 2020 were conducted face to face or via telephone or digital platform…
Combined Analysis of the Effects of Exposure to Blue Light in Ducks Reveals a Reduction in Cholesterol Accumulation Through Changes in Methionine Met…
2021
Monochromatic light is widely used in industry, medical treatment, and animal husbandry. Green-blue light has been found to stimulate the proliferation of satellite cells and the results of studies on the effects of blue light on poultry vary widely. It would be worthwhile to study the effect of blue light on poultry growth and how exposure to blue light affects metabolism and the intestinal microbiota. In this study, we irradiated Cherry Valley ducks with 460 nm wavelength light (blue light) for 3 weeks to explore the effects of blue light in comparison to those of white light (combined wavelength light) on animal growth and development. Our results showed that, under exposure to blue ligh…
Le leverage buy-out
1998
Les acquisitions de sociétés à l'aide d'un holding endetté, ou leverage buy-outs (LBO), ont connu un essor remarquable aux Etats-Unis (depuis les années 1970) et en Europe (à partir des années 1980). Ces opérations permettent aux acquéreurs (capital-investisseurs, personnes physiques...), de conserver ou d'acquérir le contrôle de la société visée tout en minimisant leurs apports en fonds propres. La première partie de cet article est consacrée aux montages de ces opérations et à la mobilisation des effets de leviers juridiques et financiers. Après une présentation du marché français des LBO, la seconde partie étudie l'évolution de la performance de la cible et la longévité de ces opérations.
Dimensiunea Economică a Strategiei Europa 2020
2012
The aim of the paper is to present the economic dimension of the Europe 2020 strategy. The new strategy of European Union, was launched on 3 march 2010, as a response for economic crisis. Considerated as a new agenda for economic problem, continue, as Lisbon strategy did, to offer a new instrument to boost growth and jobs in all EU’s country. It contains 3 key priorities: smart growth, sustainable growth and inclusive growth. The economic dimension identify 3 headline targets that EU must achive them until 2020: 75 % of the population aged 20-64 should be employed; 3% of the EU's GDP should be invested in R&D and „20/20/20” climate/energy targets. The two primary research objective are: 1. …
