Corrigendum: Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil Protects against Myocardial Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury in Rats through Activation of Akt/eNOS
2016
Seabuckthorn (SBT) pulp oil obtained from the fruits of seabuckthorn [Hippophae rhamnoides L. (Elaeagnaceae)] has been used traditionally for its medicinal and nutritional properties. However, its role in ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury of myocardium in rats has not been elucidated so far. The present study reports the cardioprotective effect of SBT pulp oil in IR-induced model of myocardial infarction in rats and underlying mechanism mediating activation of Akt/eNOS signaling pathway. Male albino Wistar rats were orally administered SBT pulp oil (5, 10, and 20 ml/kg/day) or saline for 30 days. On the day 31, ischemia was induced by one-stage ligation of left anterior descending coronary a…
Sedimentary environment, lithostratigraphy and dating of sediment sequences from Arctic lakes Revvatnet and Svartvatnet in Hornsund, Svalbard
2016
Abstract The sedimentary environment, sediment characteristics and age-depth models of sediment sequences from Arctic lakes Revvatnet and Svartvatnet, located near the Polish Polar Station in Hornsund, southern Svalbard (77°N), were studied with a view to establishing a basis for paleolimnological climate and environmental reconstructions. The results indicate that catchment-to-lake hydroclimatic processes probably affect the transportation, distribution and accumulation of sediments in different parts of lakes Revvatnet and Svartvatnet. Locations with continuous and essentially stable sedimentary environments were found in both lakes between water depths of 9 and 26 m. We used several diff…
Exact Fourier expansion in cylindrical coordinates for the three-dimensional Helmholtz Green function
2009
A new method is presented for Fourier decomposition of the Helmholtz Green Function in cylindrical coordinates, which is equivalent to obtaining the solution of the Helmholtz equation for a general ring source. The Fourier coefficients of the Helmholtz Green function are split into their half advanced+half retarded and half advanced-half retarded components. Closed form solutions are given for these components in terms of a Horn function and a Kampe de Feriet function, respectively. The systems of partial differential equations associated with these two-dimensional hypergeometric functions are used to construct a fourth-order ordinary differential equation which both components satisfy. A s…
1982. Las elecciones del cambio. 28 de octubre de 1982. El triunfo del PSOE: 10.134.310 de votos (48,4%) y 202 diputados La hegemonía socialista
2014
"Las elecciones del cambio. 28 de octubre de 1982. El triunfo del PSOE: 10.134.310 de votos (48,4%) y 202 diputados. La hegemonía socialista" forma parte de la investigación que realice sobre el periodo histórico en que los socialistas valencianos fueron la fuerza política hegemónica en la Comunidad Valenciana. El presente capítulo forma parte de estudio realizado en los años 2005-2013 que formaban parte de los materiales complementarios de varias asignaturas de los estudios de Ciencias Políticas y de la Administración de la Universidad de Valencia y que lo titulo: "La hegemonía socialista en la Comunidad Valenciana. El PSPV-PSOE. 1982-1995". 1982 será el año del cambio político en España. …
Hornos, marcas..y más allá
2014
Las ánforas ibéricas tienen unos atributos morfológicos poco normalizados a lo largo del tiempo, lo que ha dificultado establecer una tipología detallada, reconocer los lugares de producción, los posibles contenidos y los circuitos de distribución. Para avanzar en alguna de estas problemáticas, proponemos explorar una nueva vía: las marcas que portan algunos de estos contenedores. Su distribución geográfica y cronológica es amplia, pero se detectan concentraciones significativas a nivel territorial y en determinados yacimientos, ya sean centros alfareros o núcleos distribuidores/receptores, así como diseños repetidos. Las marcas precocción, incisas e impresas, se plasman en la alfarería con…
Los años de la hegemonía socialista. 1983-1995
2007
"Los años de la hegemonía socialista. 1983-1995" es un capítulo escrito por Benito Sanz en la obra colectiva editada por el diario Levante: "La Gran Historia de la Comunitat Valenciana. La democracia reconquistada. De la Transición a la normalización democrática (1975-2008)", tomo 10, dirigida por Francesc A. Martínez y Antonio Laguna. Valencia 2007. "Los años de la hegemonía socialista. 1983-1995" recoge las tres legislaturas en las que el PSPV-PSOE gobernó de forma hegemónica casi todas las instituciones publicas de España, la Comunidad Valenciana, así como las tres diputaciones provinciales, los tres ayuntamientos de las capitales de las provincias y la gran mayoría de los municipios.

Localized crusted scabies in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
1992
Summary Crusted scabies (CrS) is an uncommon occurrence among patients with AIDS. Indeed to date only five cases have been described, all with widespread lesions. A case of localized CrS appearing as a yellowish and crusted plaque on the second right toe is reported in a woman with AIDS. Scraping off the verrucous surface, as well as punch-biopsy revealed many mites within the horny layer. The infestation is related to the cutaneous immune response and thus CrS should be considered an opportunistic infestation in AIDS. The importance of the early diagnosis of CrS in order to prevent disseminated lesions and involvement of other health-care workers is underlined.
Spinal Endocannabinoids and CB 1 Receptors Mediate C-Fiber–Induced Heterosynaptic Pain Sensitization
2009
Plastic Pain Perception Drugs and endocannabinoids acting on cannabinoid (CB) receptors have potential in the treatment of certain types of pain. In the spinal cord they are believed to suppress nociception, the perception of pain and noxious stimuli. Pernia-Andrade et al. (p. 760 ) now find that endocannabinoids, which are released in spinal cord by noxious stimulation, may promote rather than inhibit nociception by acting on CB1 receptors. Endocannabinoids not only depress transmission at excitatory synapses in the spinal cord, but also block the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters, thereby facilitating nociception.
Acquired monocular elevation paresis. An asymmetric upgaze palsy.
1992
Five patients with acquired monocular elevation paresis were investigated using direct current electrooculography. With recovery, upward saccade velocities significantly increased in both eyes in all patients. The gain of upward-following eye movements significantly increased in the paretic eye of all patients and in the opposite eye of four patients. These findings are interpreted in terms of an asymmetric upgaze palsy which clinically presented as monocular elevation paresis in the more severely affected eye. A brainstem lesion contralateral to monocular elevation paresis was suggested in four patients by contralateral Horner's syndrome and contralateral abduction paresis, each in one pat…
Ophthalmologic complications after intraoral local anesthesia with articaine.
2000
A series of 14 cases of ophthalmologic complications after intraoral anesthesia of the posterior superior alveolar nerve is presented. The most commonly encountered symptoms were diplopia, mydriasis, palpebral ptosis, and abduction difficulties of the affected eye. In all cases, these effects occurred a few minutes after injection of the anesthetic, followed by complete resolution without sequelae on cessation of the anesthetic effect. The pathogenic mechanism underlying such ophthalmologic disorders is discussed in terms of a possible diffusion of the anesthetic solution toward the orbital region.
