Positivity rates and performances of immunochemical faecal occult blood tests at different cut-off levels within a colorectal cancer screening progra…

2012

Abstract Background Immunochemical faecal occult blood tests have greater sensitivity for colorectal cancer screening than guaiac-based tests; however the number of positive tests required is still under discussion. Methods A direct comparison of Hemoccult II with two immunochemical quantitative tests (OC-Sensor and FOB-Gold) using a 2-sample strategy was performed in over 30,000 patients undergoing colorectal cancer screening in France. Results Positivity ratio between immunochemical tests and Hemoccult II varied between 2.2 (OC-Sensor) and 2.4 (FOB-Gold) for the lowest cut-off value and 1.5–1.4 for the highest cut-off value. The positive predictive value for colorectal cancer was similar …

La recepción del teatro humorístico en la prensa contemporánea

2010

A partir de los casos de Tricicle, Pepe Rubianes y Faemino y Cansado, el artículo examina las constantes que se perciben en la recepción del teatro humorístico en la prensa contemporánea. La consulta de numerosas entrevistas y reseñas publicadas durante más de veinticinco años evidencia unas reiteradas estrategias de los citados cómicos de cara a la promoción de sus espectáculos y, sobre todo, el convencionalismo y escaso compromiso crítico de los periodistas en la realización de estos trabajos. No obstante, la consulta de esta documentación resulta imprescindible porque, entre otros motivos, contamos con una escasa bibliografía académica sobre estos ejemplos del humor contemporáneo.

Blocking Activin Receptor Ligands Is Not Sufficient to Rescue Cancer-Associated Gut Microbiota—A Role for Gut Microbial Flagellin in Colorectal Cance…

2019

Colorectal cancer (CRC) and cachexia are associated with the gut microbiota and microbial surface molecules. We characterized the CRC-associated microbiota and investigated whether cachexia affects the microbiota composition. Further, we examined the possible relationship between the microbial surface molecule flagellin and CRC. CRC cells (C26) were inoculated into mice. Activin receptor (ACVR) ligands were blocked, either before tumor formation or before and after, to increase muscle mass and prevent muscle loss. The effects of flagellin on C26-cells were studied in vitro. The occurrence of similar phenomena were studied in murine and human tumors. Cancer modulated the gut microbiota witho…

Storia dell'Arte in Europa. Inghilterra

2014

Il saggio si offre come guida alla lettura dei maggiori fenomeni artistici fioriti in Inghilterra nel XIX secolo e affronta la genesi e lo sviluppo di tendenze e movimenti straordinari che si estendono dal Gothic Revival alle Arts and Crafts, dai Preraffaelliti all'Aesthetic Movement, dal Japonisme all'Art Nouveau. Il volume, ampiamente illustrato e corredato di bibliografia aggiornata, traccia un quadro storico-critico dell'età vittoriana senza tralasciare l'analisi delle maggiori opere d'arte dell'epoca, realizzata da artisti quali William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Albert Moore, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Aubrey Beardsley e molti altri autori, oggi al centro di un rinnovato interesse da …

Coprolites in natural traps : direct evidence of bone-eating carnivorans from the Late Miocene Batallones-3 site, Madrid, Spain

2021

We describe two carnivoran coprolites found in the pseudokarst natural carnivore trap of Batallones-3, from the Late Miocene of Spain. The larger one, comprising multiple indistinguishable fragments of broken and corroded bones, indicates that the producer of the dropping might have been highly capable of crushing the softer parts of large bones. On the other hand, the smaller one shows several relatively larger and more complete bone fragments, thus exhibiting a greater capacity to break and swallow large portions of bone. The external morphology of the large coprolite is similar to that of extant bears, whereas the smaller one more closely resembles that of the living insectivorous hyaeni…

Bibliografía de Rafael Lapesa

2008

The commemoration of the centenary of Mr. Rafael Lapesa’s birth (Valencia, 1908- Madrid, 2001) is a unique chance to offer to the scientific community a complete bibliography of this great master of the Spanish philology. These pages gather all works written by Mr. Lapesa, those published as well as those nowadays unpublished. This bibliography shows Mr. Lapesa’s works thematically classified in several sections, starting with those works related to the Spanish language and its history, following with the literary studies and those works which subject is related to the Spanish literary history in every period, finishing with a different kind of works as reviews, prologues, dissertations, ob…

Stimulation of monokine production by lipoteichoic acids

1991

Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) isolated from bacterial species, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes A, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Listeria monocytogenes, were tested for their ability to stimulate the production of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha in cultured human monocytes. LTAs from S. aureus and S. pneumoniae failed to induce monokine production when applied in the concentration range of 0.05 to 5.0 micrograms/ml. However, LTAs from several enterococcal species (0.5 to 5 micrograms/ml) induced the release of all three monokines at levels similar to those observed after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. The kinet…

Ecology and technological capability of lactic acid bacteria isolated during Grillo grape vinification in the Marsala production area

2011

Grapes of the “Grillo” variety, used to produce Marsala wine, were harvested from five vineyards with different climatic and agronomic parameters, in order to obtain a first mapping of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inhabiting the production area. Marsala base wine production was followed at a large-scale, and also two experimental vinifications, with different lysozyme and SO2 concentrations and in combination, were carried out at pilot-plant scale. LAB communities and conventional chemical parameters were periodically analysed. LAB were found on grapes at an average concentration of about 102 CFU g−1 which decreased during the transformation process. A total of 146 colonies were collected, bu…
