Expression of silicatein and collagen genes in the marine sponge Suberites domuncula is controlled by silicate and myotrophin
2000
The major skeletal elements in the (Porifera) sponges, are spicules formed from inorganic material. The spicules in the Demospongiae class are composed of hydrated, amorphous silica. Recently an enzyme, silicatein, which polymerizes alkoxide substrates to silica was described from the sponge Tethya aurantia. In the present study the cDNA encoding silicatein was isolated from the sponge Suberites domuncula. The deduced polypeptide comprises 331 amino acids and has a calculated size of Mr 36 306. This cDNA was used as a probe to study the potential role of silicate on the expression of the silicatein gene. For these studies, primmorphs, a special form of aggregates composed of proliferating c…

Distraction as a technique to control pain in pediatric patients during venipuncture. A narrative review of literature
2015
Introduzione: La distrazione è un intervento non farmacologico in grado di ridurre l’intensità del dolore procedurale nei bambini. Tra le procedure maggiormente diffuse, la venipuntura è una di quelle maggiormente applicate in area pediatrica, per scopi diagnostici e terapeutici. L’analgesia durante la venipuntura può essere efficacemente raggiunta con tecniche di distrazione. Obiettivo: descrivere l’efficacia delle tecniche di distrazione attiva e passiva per la riduzione del dolore, nei bambini sottoposti a venipuntura. Metodi: è stata realizzata una revisione della letteratura consultando i database CINHAL, PubMed, ILISI e Cochrane. Sono stati inclusi tutti studi primari e secondari pubb…
Efficiency of Hospital Expenses Projects Funded Through Partnership with an NGO Case Study
2017
In the context of limited resources of a public hospital, constrained by rigid regulations and lowcapacity to invest in the purpose of satisfying the raising needs of the patients, the health facilityembraced the solutions to partner with an NGO. In partnership with Association of Psychiatric Hospital Dr. Gheorghe Preda Sibiu (ASPPS) alarge number of projects have been developed. The projects aimed to create new means andmethods for complementary and ocupational therapy and to ensure a friendly and suportiveenvironement for the patients. With rather modest financial resources but maximum eficiency and voluntary work, manymodern facilities were created, some even in premiere.
Komplementāras terapijas lietošana pacientiem, kas saņem pretvēža ārstēšanu - biežums, anamnēzes dokumentācija, un iespējamā mijiedarbība ar terapiju
2015
Ievads Pētījuma mērķis bija komplementārās un alternatīvās medicīnas (KAM) pielietošanas analīze plaušu vēža pacientu vidū, kas saņem standarta pretvēža terapiju; izvērtēt, kāds KAM veids ir vispopulārākais, kāda ir pacientu motivācija to izmantot, kā arī novērtēt ar KAM saistītās priekšrocības, toksicitātes un riskus. Metodes Pētījumā tika iekļauti izplatīta sīkšūnu un ne-sīkšūnu plaušu vēža pacienti, kas saņem paliatīvu ķīmijterapiju un/vai staru terapiju Paula Stradiņa Klīniskās Universitātes Slimnīcas Onkoloģijas klīnikā (Rīga). Dalībniekiem tika piedāvāta aprakstoša anketa latviešu un krievu valodās. Atbilžu precizēšanai tika izmantotas pus-strukturētas intervijas. Dati par toksicitāti…

Information and communication technologies and teacher education in the new paradigms of higher education
2018
Abstract Media use in the teaching process occurs in several forms. Information and communication technologies can be used as work equipment and teaching aids, as well as tools or curriculum units, particularly in higher education. Technological changes and new information technologies, in addition to substantive knowledge of the material, require from teachers creativity, knowledge, and the skills of the didactic design of teaching using modern multimedia tools. In Croatia, there is a lack of research aimed at assessing the initial state of computer literacy within the higher education institutions. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge and digital competence of (no…
Développement précoce du comportement et des préférences alimentaires
2014
Manger est essentiel pour la survie, et nous naissons équipés pour absorber des nutriments à partir des apports alimentaires. Cependant, l'alimentation ne se résume pas à cet aspect. Quoi, comment, quand, combien manger sont autant de questions qui renvoient à d'autres aspects du comportement alimentaire, auxquelles il nous faut répondre quotidiennement. Ces autres aspects du comportement alimentaire sont appris, essentiellement durant les premières années de vie [1]. Ainsi, nous avons montré que les comportements alimentaires acquis à l'âge de 2 à 3 ans étaient prédictifs des mêmes comportements observés chez le jeune adulte [2,3]. Pour cette raison, il est fondamental de savoir quand et c…
Los beneficios del mar: negocios e inversiones económicas de la oficialidad naval en el siglo XVIII
2019
Throughout the eighteenth century, the Spanish navy was extensively reformed and enhanced as a consequence of the new model of Monarchy that the Bourbons introduced. Among the measures adopted, it is remarkable the erection of the naval officers corps according to the needs and obligations that maritime war had in this century. This group becomes the paradigm of the new professionalization and new training approach, and its members had great relevance due to its great mobility around the empire and the power of the naval institution. This means that a part of the naval officers were placed in privileged positions and at the intersection of diverse political, social and economic networks. Th…

Background Our aim was to assess the efficacy of a part-standardised verum acupuncture procedure, in accordance with the rules of traditional Chinese medicine, compared with that of part-standardised sham acupuncture and standard migraine prophylaxis with beta blockers, calcium-channel blockers, or antiepileptic drugs in the reduction of migraine days 26 weeks after the start of treatment. Methods This study was a prospective, randomised, multicentre, doubleblind, parallel-group, controlled, clinical trial, undertaken between April 2002 and July 2005. Patients who had two to six migraine attacks per month were randomly assigned verum acupuncture (n = 313), sham acupuncture (n = 339), or sta…
