La unidad del pensamiento de Adam Smith como marco de comprensión de su propuesta jurídica. Una reflexión desde América Latina Por Juan Camilo Salas Cardona Resumen Las inmensas riquezas que poseen América Latina y El Caribe, en lo que se refiere a sus gentes, su cultura, su biodiversidad, belleza y variedad geográfica, así como a los recursos de toda especie que provee la tierra, contrastan con la pobreza, miseria, violencia, corrupción, crisis económica, desempleo e inestabilidad política en que vive buena parte la región, desde el mal llamado descubrimiento de América, también denominado “encuentro de dos mundos”, ocurrido hace un poco más de cinco siglos. Estas circunstancias, que, con …

Role of adrenomedullin in the acute respiratory distress syndrome

La herencia clásica palladiana en dos proyectos catedralicios valencianos: la renovación de la Puerta de los Apóstoles

2005

El presente artículo pretende analizar los proyectos de renovación de la Puerta de los Apóstoles, en la catedral de Valencia. Estos proyectos son los de Vicente Marzo y José García, realizados ambos en el año 1796. A partir de ellos se buscarán sus influencias que remiten, especialmente, a I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura de Palladio. (A)

Day/night serotonin levels in the pineal gland of male BALB/c mice with melatonin deficiency

1988

Abstract. Studies from another laboratory have shown that several strains of laboratory mice have a genetic defect for melatonin synthesis. In non-deficient species, melatonin synthesis undergoes a typical, β-adrenergically regulated day/night rhythm with low melatonin levels during daytime and high levels at night, the precursor serotonin showing an inverse behaviour. This study examines whether a day/night rhythm of pineal serotonin levels exists in melatonin-deficient male BALB/c mice. Mice kept under a lighting schedule of 12 h light (lights on at 07.00 h) and 12 h dark were killed at 13.00 and 01.00 h, respectively. Serotonin amounted to 12-15 ng/pineal and did not show regular day/nig…

Perfusion MRI in normal and abnormal pituitary gland. A preliminary study.

1997

Perfusion MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the pituitary gland was performed in 20 healthy volunteers and 63 patients with various lesions involving the pituitary gland. All patients underwent sequential contrast-enhanced MRI using spoiled gradient recalled sequences with high temporal resolution (7 seconds). Four pituitary areas (pituitary stalk, posterior lobe, postero-superior, and antero-inferior adenohypophysis) were tested with a selected region of interest. Maximal contrast percentual variation was calculated. The timing of enhancement in normal patients matched perfectly with normal pituitary vascularization. Abnormal timing in pathological condition was investigated.

Hypermineralocorticoidism and hypertension

1971

Die mit Hypokaliamie, Uberproduktion von Mineralocorticoiden (Aldosteron und/oder Corticosteron und Desoxycorticosteron) und Aktivitatsanderungen des Renin-Angiotensinsystems einhergehenden Hochdrucksformen werden beschrieben. Sie lassen sich nach willkurlich gewahlten biochemischen Kriterien in drei Gruppen einteilen: a) Hypermineralocorticoidismus mit Reninsuppression und Aldosteronismus, b) Hypermineralocorticoidismus mit Reninund Aldosteronsuppression und c) Hypermineralocorticoidismus mit erhohtem Plasmarenin und Aldosteronismus. Jede dieser Gruppen besteht aus mehreren Syndromen, die sich durch ihr adrenocorticales Sekretionsmuster und/oder ihre morphologischen Nebennierenrindenverand…

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 gene expression is normal in sporadic adrenocortical tumors.

2000

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with neoplasia of the anterior pituitary, the parathyroid, the endocrine pancreas and other endocrine tissues including the adrenal cortex. The tumor-suppressor gene causing this disease was identified at the gene locus 11q13. We recently reported that adrenocortical carcinomas frequently show loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 11q13, but do not contain point mutations within the MEN1-coding region. To investigate whether reduced gene expression (for example by mutations within the MEN1 promoter) may contribute to the tumorigenesis of sporadic adrenocortical tumors, 24 adrenocortical specimen were studied by Northern …

Acute hormonal responses to heavy resistance exercise in younger and older men

1998

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute responses of several hormones [total and free testosterone (TT and FT, respectively), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol (C), growth hormone (GH), and insulin (INS)] to a single bout of heavy resistance exercise (HRE). Eight younger [30-year (30y) group] and nine older [62-year (62y) group] men matched for general physical characteristics and activity levels performed four sets of ten repetitions maximum (RM) squats with 90 s rest between sets. Blood samples were obtained from each subject via an indwelling cannula with a saline lock pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise (IP), and 5, 15 and 30 min post-exercise. Levels o…

Indications of the occurrence of inflammatory reactions in the clinical improvement phase in multiple sclerosis patients.

2009

– In patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) the spontaneous burst activity (BA) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was related to the clinical course of the disease. In five patients clinical improvement was found while the BA was significantly increased (more than 300% of the controls). During the appearance of new or deteriorating signs and in the period without clinical changes, the BA was not at all or not markedly increased. In two patients without clinical improvement the BA did not reach levels above 300% of the controls. Our findings suggest that inflammatory reactions represented by the BA occur in the phase of clinical improvement. Since burst-stimulating activity was found in t…
