Los contextos del uso de marihuana en Latinoamérica y culturas juveniles urbanas en México
2005
La intención de éste trabajo es dar cuenta de los contextos sociales, políticos y cultu¬rales de América Latina, especialmente el caso de México, con respecto a la situación de la producción y el consumo de la marihuana. Se trabaja la hipótesis teórica de que los contextos nos ayudan a comprender las distintas prácticas sociales con su diversi¬dad de sentidos y significados que generan los usuarios y los públicos consumidores de este bien no sólo material sino desde su valor simbólico teniendo como referente los movimientos sociales. Dentro de los públicos usuarios nos interesa enfatizar al sector de los jóvenes, es decir, a las culturas juveniles urbanas o a las adscripciones identitarias …
Quimiosensores y quimiodosímetros para la detección de neurotransmisores
2019
La presente Tesis Doctoral titulada “Quimiosensores y quimiodosímetros para la detección de neurotransmisores” está centrada en el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas para la detección cromogénica y fluorogénica de moléculas biógenas, haciendo especial hincapié en el uso del fenómeno conocido como Emisión Inducida por Agregación (AIE) como mecanismo de transducción. Para ello, se han sintetizado y estudiado una serie de derivados del tetrafenileteno (TPE), compuesto que presenta propiedades AIE que pueden ser modificadas fácilmente gracias a la adecuada funcionalización del mismo. En el capítulo 3 se describe cómo, en derivados del TPE funcionalizados con anillos de triazol sustituidos con cadena…
Age Differences in the Response of Willow Tits (Parus montanus ) to Conspecific Alarm Calls
2003
Predation is an important mortality factor in wintering birds. To counter this, birds produce alarm calls in the presence of predators which serve to warn conspecifics. In social hierarchical bird flocks, adults survive the winter better than juveniles and therefore survival strategies probably vary with social status. This study examined the differential responses to alarm calls by free-living willow tits, Parus montanus, in dominance-structured winter flocks in Finland. To explore the age-dependent differences in response to conspecific alarm calls, a series with three alarm calls was played to focal adults and juveniles while they sat in the middle section of a spruce branch. Immediately…
Canakinumab as first-line biological therapy in Still’s disease and differences between the systemic and the chronic-articular courses: Real-life exp…
2022
ObjectiveInterleukin (IL)-1 inhibitors are largely employed in patients with Still’s disease; in cases with refractory arthritis, IL-6 inhibitors have shown to be effective on articular inflammatory involvement. The aim of the present study is to assess any difference in the effectiveness of the IL-1β antagonist canakinumab prescribed as first-line biologic agent between the systemic and the chronic-articular Still’s disease.MethodsData were drawn from the retrospective phase of the AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance (AIDA) international registry dedicated to Still’s disease. Patients with Still’s disease classified according to internationally accepted criteria (Yamaguchi criteria and/or Fa…
Importance of Sampling Frequency to Detect Differential Timing of Migration: A Case Study with BlackcapsSylvia atricapilla
2009
Our aim was to assess to what extent detection of differential timing of passage in migrant birds depends on the sampling frequency (SF). We determined if Blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla performed differential migration by age and sex when passing over N Iberia. We mist netted and ringed migrating Blackcaps at a stopover site, both during the autumn (2005) and the spring (2006) migrations. During autumn, adult female Blackcaps passed later than juvenile birds and adult males. In spring, however, migration differed mainly by sex rather than by age. In particular, males passed over earlier than females, likely due to the pressure on males to earlier arrival at their breeding areas. A simulation …
A morphometric study on sural nerves in metachromatic leucodystrophy.
1987
This study reexamines peripheral neuropathy in infantile, juvenile and adult metachromatic leuco-dystrophy. A computer-assisted method was used which gives more detailed information on abnormal fibre structure from scatter diagrams of the g ratio (axon diameter/fibre diameter). The data show marked and statistically significant reductions in sheath thickness, particularly for the thick myelinated fibres, and most severe in the juvenile and adult forms. This is interpreted as evidence of remodelling of virtually the entire fibre population, without a clear-cut selectivity for either thin or thick fibres.
Topographic heterogeneity of amyloid B-protein epitopes in brains with various forms of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses suggesting defective processin…
1990
To verify our hypothesis of defective protease inhibitor domains that are encoded by abnormal processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in brains of patients with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL), immunohistochemical and cytochemical studies were performed with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against various domains of APP. For the studies, 22 autopsy brains were used: 12 with different forms of NCL, and 10 control brains. The staining procedure for the avidin-biotin complex (ABC) technique and the postembedding gold-labelled procedure for electron microscopy (EM) were employed. Of all mAbs used for the study, only mAbs generated against amyloid B-protein bound to neural tissu…
Immune profiling of Alzheimer patients
2011
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by extracellular senile plaques in the brain, containing amyloid-β peptide (Aβ). We identify immunological differences between AD patients and age-matched controls greater than those related to age itself. The biggest differences were in the CD4 + rather than the CD8 + T cell compartment resulting in lower proportions of naive cells, more late-differentiated cells and higher percentages of activated CD4 + CD25 + T cells without a Treg phenotype in AD patients. Changes to CD4 + cells might be the result of chronic stimulation by Aβ present in the blood. These findings have implications for diagnosis and understanding the aetiology of the dis…
Disparities in the prevalence of clinical features between systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adult-onset Still's disease
2022
Abstract Objective To compare clinical features and treatments of patients with systemic JIA (sIJA) and adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD). Methods The clinical charts of consecutive patients with sJIA by International League of Association of Rheumatology criteria or AOSD by Yamaguchi criteria were reviewed. Patients were seen at a large paediatric rheumatology referral centre or at 10 adult rheumatology academic centres. Data collected included clinical manifestations, inflammation biomarkers, systemic score, macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), parenchymal lung disease, disease course, disability, death and medications administered. Results A total of 166 patients (median age at diagnos…
