One-year atorvastatin treatment in hypercholesterolemic patients with or without carotid artery disease.
2006
Aim. Statins are the drugs of choice in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), which has a high risk of premature cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction, stroke, and surgical revascularization. Methods. A 1-year open-label study was conducted to test the efficacy and tolerability of Atorvastatin titrated to the target, in proven FH patients and to evaluate certain inflammatory parameters. One hundred and two FH patients (44 men and 58 women; mean age 58.7±3.6 years) were included in the study. After evaluation using the B-mode duplex scanning system of extracranial carotid arteries, the patients were divided into groups: Group 1 (15 men, 25 women) with carotid plaqu…
Efectos del desarrollo sostenible percibido por el consumidor. Una propuesta de modelo de hipermercados en Ecuador
2020
Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la incidencia del desarrollo sostenible sobre la cadena de efectos: valor percibido - capital de marca - lealtad. Para ello, se propone un modelo teórico de relaciones que se contrasta a partir de una muestra de 317 clientes de hiper mercados en Ecuador. Los resultados, aplicando una metodología exploratoria y confirmatoria, combinada con regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales, mostraron que tanto las acciones de desarrollo sostenible como el valor percibido son pilares maestros sobre los que se puede apoyar la estrategia minorista. Ambas se muestran como variables clave por su naturaleza, en cuanto son multidimensio nales, y por su alcanc…
Wokół pochówku domniemanego weterana bitwy pod Byczyną w 1588 r. – studium archeologiczno-historyczne
2020
Byczyna is today a small city, located in the northern part of the Opolskie Voivodeship. This stronghold is famous for well-preserved city walls, as well as for its history, especially that associated with the memorable battle of 1588. Of course, here is the clash between the troops led by Jan Zamoyski (1542-1605) and Archduke Maximilian III of Habsburg (1558-1618), which ended in the defeat of the latter. This event had a great impact on the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as it pushed the Habsburgs away from royal power, as well as consolidated the rule of the Vasa dynasty. The Battle of Byczyna was an armed clash in which a representative of different nations met – Poles, …
Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and their remnants: metabolic insights, role in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and emerging therapeutic strat…
2021
Abstract Recent advances in human genetics, together with a large body of epidemiologic, preclinical, and clinical trial results, provide strong support for a causal association between triglycerides (TG), TG-rich lipoproteins (TRL), and TRL remnants, and increased risk of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, and aortic valve stenosis. These data also indicate that TRL and their remnants may contribute significantly to residual cardiovascular risk in patients on optimized low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-lowering therapy. This statement critically appraises current understanding of the structure, function, and metabolism of TRL, and their pathophysiological role in atherosclerotic cardiova…
Modelli del ciclo vitale della famiglia nel contesto contemporaneo
2019
Nella trattazione dei modelli del ciclo di vita della famiglia, è necessario pertanto considerare come la famiglia nel corso della storia si sia sempre modificata a causa di specifici processi demografici, ove alcune forme familiari, che definiamo “nuove”, sono in realtà sempre esistite come effetto dell’andamento della mortalità e della natalità (Santoro, 2013). Ciò che distingue le attuali configurazioni familiari rispetto a quelle presenti in passato è l’essere il prodotto di libere scelte individuali e non di fattori contingenti. Possiamo ribadire la centralità della famiglia nelle relazioni interpersonali visto come quel luogo concreto ed ideale dove la persona mette in gioco tutta se …

Dissimilar PTH, Gastrin, and Calcitonin Responses to Oral Calcium and Peptones in Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia, Primary Hyperparathyroidism, and Norma…
2005
We analyzed gastrin, PTH, and calcitonin responses to oral calcium and peptones in hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, mild primary hyperparathyroidism, and normal controls. We observed diverse hormonal responses that may help in the differential diagnosis of these conditions. Introduction: Hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (HH) is consequent to calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) genetic mutations or anti-CaSR antibodies. CaSR is expressed in parathyroid tissue, thyroid C cells, and gastrin-secreting cells, where it has been suggested that on calcium and/or amino acid allosteric activation, promotes gastrin secretion. Materials and Methods: We evaluated gastrin, PTH, and calcitonin responses to oral calciu…
Calidad de vida : evaluación y trastornos del espectro del autismo
2013
espanolEn este articulo se muestran las conclusiones de la investigacion "senda hacia la participacion", desarrollada por la Asociacion Autismo Burgos, analizando los resultados de la aplicacion de cuatro instrumentos para evaluar la calidad de vida en una muestra de veinticuatro personas con Trastorno del Espectro del Autismo (tea). Los resultados obtenidos reflejan las dificultades de estos instrumentos para medir la calidad de vida de las personas con tea, limitaciones que nos llevan a construir una guia de indicadores de calidad de vida, en colaboracion con los padres de la Asociacion. La guia se realizo a traves de un grupo focal del que participaron trece padres, dirigido por dos prof…
EURECCA colorectal: multidisciplinary management: European consensus conference colon & rectum.
2014
Contains fulltext : 137861.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Care for patients with colon and rectal cancer has improved in the last 20years; however considerable variation still exists in cancer management and outcome between European countries. Large variation is also apparent between national guidelines and patterns of cancer care in Europe. 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…
Dog sperm head morphometry: its diversity and evolution
2017
Dogs have been under strong artificial selection as a consequence of their relationship with man. Differences between breeds are evident that could be reflected in seminal characteristics. The present study was to evaluate differences in sperm head morphometry between seven well-defined breeds of dog: the British Bulldog, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Spanish Mastiff, Staffordshire Terrier, and Valencian Rat Hunting dog. Semen samples were obtained by masturbation and smears stained with Diff-Quik. Morphometric analysis (CASA-Morph) produced four size and four shape parameters. Length, Ellipticity, and Elongation showed higher differences between breeds. MANOVA revealed di…
