Role of Biological Sex in the Cardiovascular-Gut Microbiome Axis
2022
There has been a recent, unprecedented interest in the role of gut microbiota in host health and disease. Technological advances have dramatically expanded our knowledge of the gut microbiome. Increasing evidence has indicated a strong link between gut microbiota and the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In the present article, we discuss the contribution of gut microbiota in the development and progression of CVD. We further discuss how the gut microbiome may differ between the sexes and how it may be influenced by sex hormones. We put forward that regulation of microbial composition and function by sex might lead to sex-biased disease susceptibility, thereby offering a mechani…
Computationally Efficient Innovative Techniques for the Design-Oriented Simulation of Free-Running and Driven Microwave Oscillators
2014
Analysis techniques for injection-locked oscillators/amplifiers (ILO) can be broadly divided into two classes. To the first class belong methods with a strong and rigorous theoretical basis, that can be applied to rather general circuits/systems but which are very cumbersome and/or time-consuming to apply. To the second class belong methods which are very simple and fast to apply, but either lack of validity/accuracy or are applicable only to very simple or particular cases. In this thesis, a novel method is proposed which aims at combining the rigorousness and broad applicability characterizing the first class of analysis techniques above cited with the simplicity and computational efficie…
Modificaciones del automatismo, conducción, refractariedad miocárdicas y del patrón fibrilatorio ventricular producidas por el ejercicio físico cróni…
2011
El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar el papel de las neuronas parasimpáticas postganglionares en los cambios adaptativos producidos por el entrenamiento físico sobre el automatismo, la conducción y la refractariedad miocárdicas. Se utilizaron 41 conejos de raza New Zealand White que fueron divididos en 3 grupos: un grupo de animales control (n=14), un grupo de animales falsos operados (n=13) y un grupo de animals entrenados (n=14). Estos últimos fueron sometidos a un protocolo de entrenamiento en cinta rodante de 6 semanas de duración. El estudio electrofisiológico se realizó en corazón aislado y, por tanto, no sometido a influencias nerviosas extrínsecas ni humorales. Las propiedades …
Datortomogrāfijas protokola pielietošana smadzeņu nāves apstiprināšanai
2020
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Datortomogrāfijas protokola pielietošana smadzeņu nāves apstiprināšanā”. Attīstoties intensīvās terapijas un transplantoloģijas nozarēm, smadzeņu nāves diagnostikā nepieciešams papildus veikt izmeklējumus, kas nodrošina ātru un efektīvu rezultātu, veicot apstiprinājumu smadzeņu nāves diagnozei. Datortomogrāfijas angiogrāfija ir viens no tiem. Bakalaura darba izvirzītā hipotēze ir: datortomogrāfijas protokols smadzeņu nāves apstiprināšanai katrā slimnīcā ir atšķirīgs. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot datortomogrāfijas protokola pielietošanu smadzeņu nāves apstiprināšanai 3 Latvijas slimnīcās. Pētniecības uzdevumi ir apkopot un analizēt literatūru par galvas smadzeņu anatom…

Smoking habit and labial microcirculation
2004
Smoking habit is an important risk factor in oral diseases. In the last years, many studies tried to evaluate smoking effects on the microcirculation. It had never been used such a simple not invasive technique, like the video-capillaroscopic one. The aim of the research is to analyse “in vivo”, the microcirculation labial characteristics, and to evaluate the smoking effects by means of computerised videocapillaroscopy techniques. 35 healthy no-smoker patients and 35 healthy smoker patients were examined. The characteristics of the microcirculation in the areas of labial mucous were examined using computerised videomicroscopic techniques. For each patient we evaluated the visibility, the co…
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN THE MICROCIRCULATION INDUCED BY CHRONIC SMOKING HABIT: A VIDEOCAPILLAROSCOPIC STUDY ON THE HUMAN GINGIVAL MUCOSA
2005
PURPOSE: To analyze the gingival characteristics of microcirculation in vivo and to evaluate the effects of smoking by means of computerised videocapillaroscopic techniques. METHODS: 35 healthy non-smokers and 35 healthy smokers were examined. The characteristics of gingival microcirculation were examined using computerized videomicroscopic techniques. For each subject, visibility, course, tortuosity and any images characteristic of capillary loops, besides the possible presence of microhemorrhages, the average caliber of the capillary loops and the number of capillary loops visible per square millimeter were evaluated. The investigation was non-invasive and repeatable for each subject. RES…
Cultural similarity and dissimilarity in intercultural conflicts
2015
This study investigated cultural similarity and dissimilarity in intercultural conflicts, by focusing on how a mediator understands cultural difference in the process of mediation. Intercultural conflict occurs when cultural worldviews of an individual or group are incompatible with the worldviews of another cultural group within the same community. Special interest has been on social inequality, stereotypes and ingroup outgroup tension as causes of intercultural conflicts. Participants for this study were qualified mediators from South Africa. In order to understand their practice environment and mediation landscape in general, community conflict in South Africa was studied. The findings r…
LEZIONE 15 – La pedagogia fondamentale e le altre scienze pedagogiche
2017
In questa Lezione viene esaminato il rapporto tra la pedagogia fondamentale e le altre scienze pedagogiche, sue articolazioni peculiari. È infatti la stessa pedagogia fondamentale a fondarle, specializzandosi nell’approfondimento di aspetti particolari dell’educazione, quali, per esempio, la società, la scuola, l’infanzia, la famiglia. Vengono pertanto passate in rassegna la pedagogia sperimentale, la pedagogia sociale, la pedagogia dell’infanzia, la pedagogia della scuola, la pedagogia della famiglia, la pedagogia del lavoro, la pedagogia interculturale, la pedagogia speciale, la pedagogia di genere, la didattica, tutte scienze pedagogiche che hanno col tempo costruito una propria identità…
