A comprehensive RNA-Seq-based gene expression atlas of the summer squash (Cucurbita pepo) provides insights into fruit morphology and ripening mechan…
2021
[EN] Background Summer squash (Cucurbita pepo: Cucurbitaceae) are a popular horticultural crop for which there is insufficient genomic and transcriptomic information. Gene expression atlases are crucial for the identification of genes expressed in different tissues at various plant developmental stages. Here, we present the first comprehensive gene expression atlas for a summer squash cultivar, including transcripts obtained from seeds, shoots, leaf stem, young and developed leaves, male and female flowers, fruits of seven developmental stages, as well as primary and lateral roots. Results In total, 27,868 genes and 2352 novel transcripts were annotated from these 16 tissues, with over 18,0…
“If you seek it, you will find it”. Methodology for the carpological study of the Middle Magdalenian of Cova de les Cendres site (Teulada-Moraira, Al…
2016
La carpología, el estudio de los frutos, semillas, tubérculos, rizomas y bulbos recuperados en yacimientos arqueológicos, ha sido aplicada mayoritariamente a contextos correspondientes a sociedades productoras, mientras que los estudios carpológicos de yacimientos de cazadores-recolectores son escasos. En los últimos años, estos han experimentado un incremento, desvelándose el valor de la información que proporcionan: económica, cultural, botánica y ecológica. Presentamos en este artículo la metodología aplicada para el análisis carpológico de un conjunto de muestras procedentes de un nivel fechado en el Magdaleniense medio de la Cova de les Cendres (Teulada-Moraira, Alicante).
Mathematical skills in undergraduate students. A ten-year survey of a Plant Physiology course
2012
In the health and life sciences, as well as in other scientific disciplines, problem solving depends on mathematical skills. However, significant deficiencies are commonly found in this regard in undergraduate students. In an attempt to understand the underlying causes and to improve students' performance, this paper reports a ten-year survey (2000-2010) on mathematical skills of undergraduate Spanish students enrolled in a Plant Physiology course, based on data from tests performed throughout this time period. The results show that the percentage of correct answers decreases for questions requiring some mathematical skills, particularly those needing some calculations. Interestingly, perce…
Mathematical literacy in Plant Physiology undergraduates: results of interventions aimed at improving students' performance
2013
The importance of mathematical literacy in any scientific career is widely recognized. However, various studies report lack of numeracy and mathematical literacy in students from various countries. In the present work we present a detailed study of the mathematical literacy of Spanish undergraduate students of Biology enrolled in a Plant Physiology course. We have performed individual analyses of results obtained during the period 2000-2011, for questions in the examinations requiring and not requiring mathematical skills. Additionally, we present the outcome of two interventions introduced with the aim of helping students improve their prospects for success in the course. Our results confi…
Dental pulp in mature human teeth: morphological alterations and metalloproteinases-2 and -9, Annexin-5, BCL-2, and iNOS modulation.
2015
Tooth replantation, as a treatment concept, has been subject to controversies regarding the mechanism as well as the various parameters underlying this process. This work aimed to study time-related changes in the pulp of replanted mature human premolars through the changes in the levels of certain factors involved in the underlying mechanisms of pulpal tissue healing after replantation. Eleven experimental mature teeth were extracted, immediately replanted in the original socket and left without any other intervention for 1, 2, 3 and 12 weeks before re-extraction. Three premolars served as control. All specimens were subject to histological analysis and the levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, Annexin …
Sangre de nobles, mártires y pecadores. Los caballeros de San Juan entre la reforma religiosa y la vida militar
2018
After the fall of Rhodes in 1522, the Order of St. John needed to recover new headquarters (which were finally established in Malta in 1530) and its reputation as militia Christi. This Religion in arms had now to redraft its chivalrous ideals within the new context of the Reformation and the Catholic Renewal. However, Hospitallers met this challenge partially and late, although they represented themselves as belonging to this glorious Religion. Such a dialectic between practice and theory is proved, for example, by an apologetic book published in 1619 in Italy and Spain, as well as by unpublished instructions in the late seventeenth century directed at the chaplains providing religious supp…
Análisis de la sensibilización HLA pretrasplante y postrasplante en pacientes receptores de un injerto renal: factores de riesgo e implicaciones pron…
2015
El trasplante de órgano sólido se ha convertido en una alternativa establecida para el fallo orgánico de muchos pacientes. Los resultados globales del trasplante renal han dado un giro positivo espectacular en el seguimiento a corto y medio plazo, pero para mejorar los resultados a largo plazo quedan por conocer mecanismos de la respuesta inmune, disponer de una monitorización inmunológica precisa y a tiempo real con unos biomarcadores adecuados. La inmunosupresión farmacológica ha supuesto la estrategia principal para prevenir y tratar los episodios de rechazo agudo (RA). El desarrollo de fármacos inmunosupresores cada vez más potentes ha disminuido de forma importante la tasa de rechazo y…
Results of heart retransplantation: subanalysis of the Spanish Heart Transplant Registry
2022
Resumen Introduccion y objetivos El retrasplante cardiaco (ReTC) representa un tema controvertido actualmente. Nuestro objetivo es describir y analizar los resultados del ReTC en Espana. Metodos Analisis retrospectivo del Registro Espanol de Trasplante Cardiaco de 1984 a 2018. Se recogieron datos sobre donante, receptor, cirugia, inmunosupresion y supervivencia. La mortalidad por todas las causas o la necesidad de ReTC postrasplante fueron el objetivo principal. Se estudiaron diferencias en supervivencia segun indicacion, tiempo entre trasplantes y epoca del ReTC. Resultados Se estudiaron en total 7.592 trasplantes cardiacos (TxC) y 173 (2,3%) ReTC (mediana de edad, 52,0 y 55,0 anos respect…
Short implants (8mm) versus longer implants (≥8mm) with lateral sinus floor augmentation in posterior atrophic maxilla: A meta-analysis of RCT`s in h…
2019
Background One of the greatest challenges that dentists face today is to rehabilitate severe atrophied alveolar ridges in partially and completely edentulous patients with implants. Despite the high survival rate of implants placed next to sinus elevation, this technique presents complications that can be avoided by placing short implants, an option that also presents high survival rates. For this reason, the aim of this study is to compare the survival rate, marginal bone loss and complications associated with short implants (<8 mm) versus longer implants (≥8mm) placed with lateral sinus floor elevation in posterior atrophic maxillae. Material and Methods A literature search was conducted …
