Molecular Self-Assembly Versus Surface Restructuring During Calcite Dissolution.

2016

Organic additives are known to alter the mineral-water interface in various ways. On the one hand, organic molecules can self assemble into ordered structures wetting the surface. On the other hand, their presence can affect the interfacial morphology, referred to as surface restructuring. Here, we investigate the impact, of a class of calcium-complexing azo dyes on the dissolution of calcite (10.4) using high-resolution atomic force microscopy operated in aqueous solution, with a focus on the two constitutional isomers Eriochrome Black T and Eriochrome Black A. A very pronounced surface restructuring is observed in the presence of the dye solution, irrespective of the specific dye used and…

Monitoring water quality and hydrological patterns of wetlands using recent techniques in remote sensing

2017

Los humedales aportan una gran cantidad de servicios ecosistémicos, incluyendo la regulación del ciclo hidrológico para el control de inundaciones y la sequía. También proporcionan suministro de agua, refugios de vida silvestre, y oportunidades de recreación, entre otros. A pesar de que estas áreas tienen un valor fundamental para el desarrollo sostenible, se ven totalmente afectadas por el crecimiento urbano, la extensión de tierras agrícolas y la contaminación derivada de todo ello. La calidad de las aguas y el estado ecológico de los ecosistemas acuáticos se pueden ver deteriorados por el proceso de eutrofización. Éste produce cambios físicos, químicos y biológicos en la masa de agua. Pa…

El mejor pastor descalzo, san Pascual Baylón o la incursión teatral de Ginés Campillo de Bayle

2016

Resumen: Cuando los ultimos decenios del siglo XVII iban marcando el final de la Casa de Austria en Espana, un clerigo nacido en Elche (Alicante), Gines Campillo de Bayle, intento su incursion en el mundo literario de la epoca. Su figura y obra, por un motivo u otro, siempre han estado rodeadas por un entorno de misterio, desgraciada fortuna y escasa estimacion. Valorado con precaucion por unos pocos, ignorado o criticado por la mayoria, gran parte de su produccion lirica, narrativa y teatral ha conseguido llegar, a pesar de todo, a nuestras manos. Un ejemplo de lo senalado es la comedia teatral, asi titulada por el propio autor, El mejor pastor descalzo, san Pascual Baylon ; toda una demos…

COVID-19 infection in cancer patients: what has been the contribution of Associazione Italiana Oncologia Medica (AIOM) to oncological care since the …

2021

High mortality rates in elderly patients or in those with underlying chronic illnesses and/or a compromised immune system is a peculiar feature of COVID-19 infection. The possible coexistence of a cancer and COVID-19 infection in the same individual prompted concerns regarding their synergistic effect on prognosis. In order to balance patients’ needs with the risks related to the infection, the question oncologists have asked from the beginning of the first wave of the pandemic has been: ‘how can we deal with COVID-19 infection in cancer patients?’ In pursuing its mission, the Associazione Italiana Oncologia Medica (AIOM) has made every possible effort to support cancer patients, health car…

EURECCA colorectal: multidisciplinary mission statement on better care for patients with colon and rectal cancer in Europe

2013

Contains fulltext : 125368.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Care for patients with colon and rectal cancer has improved in the last twenty years however still considerable variation exists in cancer management and outcome between European countries. Therefore, EURECCA, which is the acronym of European Registration of cancer care, is aiming at defining core treatment strategies and developing a European audit structure in order to improve the quality of care for all patients with colon and rectal cancer. In December 2012 the first multidisciplinary consensus conference about colon and rectum was held looking for multidisciplinary consensus. The expert panel consisted of…

Complexus adhaerentes, a new group of desmoplakin-containing junctions in endothelial cells: II. Different types of lymphatic vessels.

1994

Abstract In diverse mammalian species, including (man, cow and rat) the very flat endothelial cells of lymphatic vessels of various organs, including the retothelial meshwork of sinus of lymph nodes, are connected by zonula -like plaque-bearing junctions which differ from the similarly structured junctions of blood vessel endothelia by the presence of desmoplakin or an as yet unknown but closely related plaque protein. These extended junctions, which also contain plakoglobin but none of the presently known desmogleins and desmocollins, are therefore different from the spot-like desmosomes ( maculae adhaerentes ) present in epithelia, myocardium and dendritic reticulum cells of lymphatic fol…

Late steps of parvoviral infection induce changes in cell morphology.

2008

Previously, virus-induced non-filopodial extensions have not been encountered in connection with viral infections. Here, we report emergence of long extensions protruding from Norden laboratory feline kidney (NLFK) and A72 (canine fibroma) cells infected with canine parvovirus for 72 h. These extensions significantly differ in length and number from those appearing in control cells. The most striking feature in the extensions is the length, reaching up to 130 microm, almost twice the average length of a healthy NLFK cell. In A72 cells, the extensions were even longer, up to 200 microm. The results presented here also suggest that the events leading to the growth of these extensions start ea…

Recommendations from the iSBTc-SITC/FDA/NCI Workshop on Immunotherapy Biomarkers

2011

Abstract Purpose: To facilitate development of innovative immunotherapy approaches, especially for treatment concepts exploiting the potential benefits of personalized therapy, there is a need to develop and validate tools to identify patients who can benefit from immunotherapy. Despite substantial effort, we do not yet know which parameters of antitumor immunity to measure and which assays are optimal for those measurements. Experimental Design: The iSBTc-SITC (International Society for Biological Therapy of Cancer-Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer), FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and NCI (National Cancer Institute) partnered to address these issues for immunotherapy of cancer. Here…

Underuse of long-term routine hospital follow-up care in patients with a history of breast cancer?

2011

Abstract Background After primary treatment for breast cancer, patients are recommended to use hospital follow-up care routinely. Long-term data on the utilization of this follow-up care are relatively rare. Methods Information regarding the utilization of routine hospital follow-up care was retrieved from hospital documents of 662 patients treated for breast cancer. Utilization of hospital follow-up care was defined as the use of follow-up care according to the guidelines in that period of time. Determinants of hospital follow up care were evaluated with multivariate analysis by generalized estimating equations (GEE). Results The median follow-up time was 9.0 (0.3-18.1) years. At fifth and…
