La basílica de santa María de Elche: proyecto clasicista en la arquitectura del siglo XVII
2020
La basílica de santa María de Elche se construyó en un dilatado periodo de tiempo (1673-1784), si bien la totalidad de su fábrica es deudora de la concepción del proyecto original. Este fue elaborado por el arquitecto Francisco Verde, siendo continuado por Pedro Quintana y rediseñado por Juan Fauquet. En este artículo se explora dicho proyecto en el marco de la arquitectura seiscentista, así como se aporta documentación inédita sobre los primeros años de construcción y sus artífices. The church of Santa Maria (Elche) was built on a lengthy period of time, although the construction is based on the conception of the original project, designed by the architect Francisco Verde, continued by Ped…
Procalcitonin as a marker of Candida species detection by blood culture and polymerase chain reaction in septic patients
2014
Background: The aim of our study is to test procalcitonin (PCT) as surrogate marker of identification of Candida spp. by blood culture (BC) and real-time-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), whether alone or in association with bacteria, in septic patients.Methods: We performed a single-centre retrospective study. We reviewed the clinical charts of patients with a diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock treated at our general intensive care unit from March 2009 to March 2013. We analysed all diagnostic episodes consisting of BC, real-time PCR assay and dosage of PCT. We registered age, sex, white blood count, sequential organ failure assessment score and type of admission between medical or …
Analysis of Chemical and Biochemical Parameters of Petrol-Contaminated Soil after Biostimulation with an Enzyme Reagent
2020
This study aimed to assess the effect of petrol and the Fyre Zyme reagent on selected chemical and biochemical properties of loamy sand. The experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions. First, petrol was introduced into the soil at doses of 0 and 50 g k-1dry matter (DM). Next, 6% Fyre-Zyme enzyme reagent solution was added to the samples contaminated and uncontaminated with petrol, in the following combinations: 0 (control), once at 40 cm3 kg&ndash
Isomer-nonspecific action of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane on aryl hydrocarbon receptor and G-protein-coupled receptor 30 intracellular signaling i…
2014
Abstract Extended residual persistence of the pesticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) raises concerns about its long-term neurotoxic effects. Little is known, however, about DDT toxicity during the early stages of neural development. This study demonstrated that DDT-induced apoptosis of mouse embryonic neuronal cells is a caspase-9-, caspase-3-, and GSK-3β-dependent process, which involves p,p’ -DDT-specific impairment of classical ERs. It also provided evidence for DDT-isomer-nonspecific alterations of AhR- and GPR30-mediated intracellular signaling, including changes in the levels of the receptor and receptor-regulated mRNAs, and also changes in the protein levels of the receptors…
Late gadolinium enhancement-cardiovascular magnetic resonance identifies coronary artery disease as the aetiology of left ventricular dysfunction in …
2009
Aims We evaluated the ability of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to identify acute new-onset heart failure (HF) with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), whether or not in relation to underlying coronary artery disease (CAD), in patients with no clinical evidence of associated ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Methods and results Hundred consecutive patients admitted with acute new-onset decompensated HF and EF ,40%, with no clinical or electrocardiographic data suggestive of CAD. The patients were classified according to the presence or absence of significant CAD (stenosis � 70% in at least one major vessel). Twenty-one patients (21%) had si…
Myocardial contrast echocardiography in biopsy-proven primary cardiac amyloidosis.
2008
Abstract Cardiac vasculature is affected in 88-90% of patients with primary cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) relies on the ultrasound detection of microbubble contrast agents that are solely confined to the intravascular space, and are therefore useful in the evaluation of flow in the microvasculature. This is the first case report describing the use of MCE during vasodilator stress to evaluate coronary flow reserve in a patient with biopsy-proven primary CA and angiographically normal coronaries. Qualitative MCE demonstrated delayed replenishment of microbubbles during peak stress; quantitative analysis was consistent with a reduction in total myocardial…
Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Detection of Cardiac Amyloidosis
2010
Objectives Our aim was to evaluate the role and mechanism of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in identifying cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and to investigate associations between LGE and clinical, morphologic, functional, and biochemical features. Background CA can be challenging to diagnose by echocardiography. Recent studies have demonstrated an emerging role for LGE-CMR. Methods LGE-CMR was performed in 120 patients with amyloidosis. Cardiac histology was available in 35 patients. The remaining 85 patients were divided into those with and without echocardiographic evidence of CA. Results Of the 35 patients with histologically verified CA, abnormal LGE was pre…
Vicent Garcia, poeta europeu
2012
Després de repassar la bibliografia crítica i els textos poètics derivats, es procedeix a l’anàlisi d’un conegut sonet de Francesc Vicent Garcia, rector de Vallfogona (1578/1579-1623): «A una hermosa dama de cabell negre, que es pentinava en un terrat ab una pinta de marfil», que comença «Ab una pinta de marfil polia», en què l’autor mostra una habilitat poètica excepcional. S’insereix després el text en el seu context estètic i històric, el barroc europeu, i finalment se’l compara amb una sèrie de sonets equivalents, sobre el mateix motiu, produïts per autors castellans, portuguesos, italians i francesos. S’hi conclou que el de Garcia és molt original, tot i la forta codificació de la sèri…
