Sialolitiasis parotídea del conducto de Stensen
2006
La litiasis salival es una afectación consistente en la obstrucción mecánica de una glándula salival o de su conducto excretor, debido a la formación de concreciones calcáreas o sialolitos, lo que determina una ectasía salival, pudiendo provocar la dilatación posterior de la glándula. La sialolitiasis supone el 30 % de la patología salival y afecta principalmente a las glándulas submaxilares (83 a 94 %), seguida por la glándula parótida (4 a 10 %) y las glándulas sublinguales (1 a 7 %). En este trabajo presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 45 años que presentaba mal olor y sabor de boca en el momento de las comidas y afecto de un cálculo salival a nivel del conducto de Stensen izquier…
Warming temperatures and ectoparasitic sea lice impair internal organs in juvenile Atlantic salmon
2021
As a consequence of climate change and open net-pen salmon farming, wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar are increasingly likely to encounter elevated temperatures and parasite abundances during their early marine migration. Such stressors can compromise fitness by diminishing liver energy stores and impairing cardiac muscle. To assess whether temperature and infestation by salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis are important correlates of liver energy stores and cardiac muscle performance in juvenile salmon, we experimentally infested fish at 3 abundances of louse infestation (zero, low, and high) and 5 temperatures (10, 13, 16, 19, and 22°C). At the end of the experiment (i.e. when sea lice reac…
Combined effect of low-molecular-weight organic acids and creosote on phosphatase activities in sandy soil
2018
This paper assesses the impact of creosote and low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on the activity of acid phosphomonoesterase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase, phosphotriesterase, and inorganic pyrophosphatase in soil. The experiment was carried out on loamy sand samples with organic carbon content of 8.71 g · kg -1 , with the following variable factors: dosages of creosote: 0, 0.5%, and 2.5%; type of LMWOAs: oxalic acid, tartaric acid, and citric acid in the amount of 50 mmol · kg -1 of soil; days of experiment: 1, 7, 14, 28, 56, 112. Obtained results showed that contamination with creosote caused decrease in the activity of soil phosphatases. The observed effect did not always incre…
Effects of low laser level therapy in rehabilitation of patients with COVID19 pneumonia
2021
Introduction. An unprecedented public health crisis has been triggered worldwide by SARS-CoV-2’s high contagiosity and it’s mortality rates of 1-5%. Although the majority of COVID-19 cases have a good outcome, there is a small percentage that develop severe pneumonia and citokine storm and may be in the need of mechanical ventilation. Methods. Identifying the exact drivers of the excessive inflammation and the biomarkers that can predict a hyperinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 would be extremly helpful in finding efficient anti-inflammatory interventions that may stop the progression to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Results. In the search for such interventions we have iden…
SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA: EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PERSPECTIVES
2020
In December 2019, a disease caused by a novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2. At the end of May 2020, SARS-CoV-2 confirmed cases and deaths due to novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were about 6.5 million and 380,000, worldwide. In this commentary the authors argue on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in different epidemiological settings within the Mediterranean area, discussing any possible association with higher or lower virus spread according to climatic factors, pollutants, characteristics of general population, and organi…
Cambios en los procedimientos diagnósticos y en el pronóstico producidos por la introducción de la troponina de alta sensibilidad en el paciente con …
2014
La troponina cardiaca continúa siendo un marcador de necrosis miocárdica determinante para la toma de decisiones diagnósticas y terapéuticas en pacientes con Síndrome Coronario Agudo (SCA) sin elevación del ST. La aparición de métodos de detección de troponina cardiaca de alta sensibilidad ha permitido la medida de concentraciones mínimas de troponina con una imprecisión analítica <10% en sujetos sanos, no detectables con métodos anteriores. El impacto de la aplicación clínica de estos nuevos métodos será la mayor precocidad y sensibilidad diagnóstica de infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM), así como el aumento del número de diagnósticos de infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) y disminución del núm…
Environmental factors influencing the distribution and prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium in school attenders of ILembe and uThungulu Health Distr…
2017
Schistosoma haematobium infection is reported to facilitate the development of urogenital diseases. Its symptoms include haematuria, dysuria and tiredness, and it may cause cognitive decline in children. The prevalence of S. haematobium infection needs to be known in endemic areas and a mass treatment programme against the disease implemented. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and intensity of S. haematobium infection in ILembe and uThungulu health districts, using the major symptom, haematuria, as an indicator. A total of 6 265 urine samples, from 96 rural schools, was collected for analysis using dipsticks. The prevalence of haematuria in the ILembe health district w…
Common variants at VRK2 and TCF4 conferring risk of schizophrenia
2011
To access publisher full text version of this article. Please click on the hyperlink in Additional Links field. Common sequence variants have recently joined rare structural polymorphisms as genetic factors with strong evidence for association with schizophrenia. Here we extend our previous genome-wide association study and meta-analysis (totalling 7 946 cases and 19 036 controls) by examining an expanded set of variants using an enlarged follow-up sample (up to 10 260 cases and 23 500 controls). In addition to previously reported alleles in the major histocompatibility complex region, near neurogranin (NRGN) and in an intron of transcription factor 4 (TCF4), we find two novel variants show…
