Effects of ectopic expression of NGAL on doxorubicin sensitivity.
2012
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL, a.k.a Lnc2) is a member of the lipocalin family which has diverse roles including stabilizing matrix metalloproteinase-9 from auto-degradation and as siderocalins which are important in the transport of iron. NGAL also has important biological functions involved in immunity and inflammation as well as responses to kidney damage. NGAL expression has also been associated with certain neoplasia and is important in the metastasis of breast cancer. Many advanced cancer patients have elevated levels of NGAL in their urine and it has been proposed that NGAL may be a prognostic indicator for certain cancers (e.g. breast, brain, and others). NGAL exp…
Sievietes pasaule Ivandes Kaijas romānā "Iedzimtais grēks" un Leldes Stumbres romānā "Perfekcioniste"
2022
Bakalaura darbā “Sievietes pasaule Ivandes Kaijas romānā “Iedzimtais grēks” un Leldes Stumbres romānā “Perfekcioniste””, izmantojot feminisma literatūras teoriju, pētīti romānu sieviešu tēli, to lomas un darbības vides, kā arī konstatēts kopīgais un atšķirīgais sievietes pasaules redzējumā. Ar ginokritikas metodēm ir veikts abu romānu raksturojums, nosakot romānu nozīmi latviešu literatūras un latviešu sieviešu literatūras vēsturēs. Analizējot sieviešu tēlus ģimenes, izglītības un nodarbošanās apsektos, ar hermeneitikas un feminīnās kritikas metodēm atklāta abos romānos aprakstītā sievietes pasaule. Pētījums sniedz ieskatu feministiskās domas attīstībā, sākot ar I. Kaijas “Iedzimto grēku” (…
Mujeres en la España del siglo XIX. Una mirada jurídica a través de la literatura: La Regenta
2022
El siglo XIX es una época decisiva en la historia de los derechos de las mujeres. El ideal ilustrado proclama la universalidad del principio de igualdad, pero, simultáneamente, aduce la inferioridad natural de la mujer, supeditándola al varón. Esta incoherencia suscita la aparición de los primeros grupos en defensa de los derechos de las mujeres. Agrupaciones a las que el propio discurso ilustrado ha dotado del contenido teórico suficiente para legitimar sus reivindicaciones. Éstas recorren un arduo camino que culmina con la petición del sufragio femenino a finales de siglo. La literatura es testigo de todo ello, de manera que en este trabajo, en busca de nuevos matices, abordamos la histor…
Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk
2013
Journal article Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ~9% of the familial risk of the disease. We report here a meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, from which we selected 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping. These SNPs were genotyped in 45,290 cases and 41,880 controls of European ancestry from 41 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). The SNPs were genotyped as part of a collaborative genotyping experiment involving four consortia (Collaborat…

La influencia del estado del partido en la posesión del balón en el fútbol femenino de alto rendimiento
2020
[Abstract] The objective of this study was to examine the effect of the situational match status variable on the ball possession of the teams that participated in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The 52 games played during the championship have been collected, and 3,740 ball possessions made by the teams were analyzed. The teams have been divided into successful and unsuccessful. Three types of analysis have been carried out: a univariate analysis for both groups with the categorical and continuous variables selected; a bivariate analysis, using chi-square tests and the exact Fischer test; and finally, a multivariable technique such as the decision trees was incorporated. The available resu…
Analysis of a database to predict the result of allergy testing in vivo in patients with chronic nasal symptoms.
2014
Background This article uses the logistic regression model for diagnostic decision making in patients with chronic nasal symptoms. We studied the ability of the logistic regression model, obtained by the evaluation of a database, to detect patients with positive allergy skin-prick test (SPT) and patients with negative SPT. The model developed was validated using the data set obtained from another medical institution. Methods The analysis was performed using a database obtained from a questionnaire administered to the patients with nasal symptoms containing personal data, clinical data, and results of allergy testing (SPT). All variables found to be significantly different between patients w…
Sleep Disturbances in COPD are Associated with Heterogeneity of Airway Obstruction
2018
Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) experience sleep disturbances due to the impact of respiratory symptoms on sleep quality. We explored whether sleep disturbances in COPD are linked to heterogeneity of airway constriction.The impact of breathing problems on sleep quality was measured in consecutive COPD outpatients with the COPD and Asthma Sleep Impact Scale (CASIS) questionnaire. Impulse oscillometry technique (IOS) was employed to assess heterogeneity of airway constriction. Subjects with a previous or concomitant diagnosis of asthma or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were excluded.Fifty COPD subjects (M/F 40/10; age: 71 +/- 8 yrs, Body Mass Index (BMI): 26.2 +/-…
Cognitive behavioural therapy interventions for insomnia among shift workers: RCT in an occupational health setting
2019
Abstract Introduction The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy interventions for insomnia (CBT-I) to that of a sleep hygiene intervention in a randomized controlled design among shift workers. We also studied whether the features of shift work disorder (SWD) affected the results. Methods A total of 83 shift workers with insomnia disorder were partially randomized into a group-based CBT-I, self-help CBT-I, or sleep hygiene control intervention. The outcomes were assessed before and after the interventions and at 6-month follow-up using questionnaires, a sleep diary, and actigraphy. Results Perceived severity of insomnia, sleep-related dysfunction…
