No tēmas atkarīgs ciešamās kārtas lietojums angļu valodas korpusos
2015
Ir zināms, ka ciešamā kārta tiek bieži vien pielietota lietišķajā stilā, bet tā nav tik bieži sastopama mutvārdu saziņā, bet vai ciešamās kārtas lietojums var atšķirties atkarībā no tēmas? Bakalaura darbā tika analizēts ciešamās kārtas lietojums atkarībā no materiāliem, kas var tikt atrodami korpusos. Darba hipotēze ir tāda, ka dažādos tematos ciešamās kārtas lietojums atšķiras. Lai pārbaudītu izvirzīto hipotēzi un sasniegtu izvirzīto pētījuma mērķi, tika izpētīti rakstītie avoti un agrāk veikti pētījumi par ciešamo kārtu un tās lietojumu. Pētījuma praktiskajai daļai tika izvēlēti pieci darbības vārdi un tie tika sameklēti trīs dažādos angļu valodas korpusos, izmantojot tiešsaistes programm…
Estudio contrastivo lingüístico y semántico de las construcciones verbales fijas diatópicas mexicanas/españolas
2010
En este artículo analizamos las construcciones verbales fijas de origen mexicano, y las compararemos con construcciones homólogas del español peninsular desde el punto de vista lingüístico y semántico con el fin de poner de relieve las peculiaridades de estas variantes diatópicas. In the present paper, we analyse set verbal constructions of Mexican origin and compare them with homologous verbal constructions of European Spanish origin from a morphological and semantic point of view in order to underline the peculiarities of the Mexican, diatopic varieties.
A combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella vaccine (Priorix-Tetra: immunogenicity and safety profile
2009
Abstract Priorix-Tetra ™ (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) is a combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccine. Eight studies involving more than 3000 children were reviewed. Compared with co-administration of MMR ( Priorix ™) and varicella ( Varilrix ™) vaccines, the MMRV vaccine showed: similar immunogenicity, with immunity shown up to 3 years post-vaccination; a higher rate of fever after the first dose; a slight increase in mild local reactions after the second dose. This MMRV vaccine can be used either as a two-dose vaccine or as a second dose in children primed with separate MMR and/or varicella vaccines, offering a convenient way to introduce varicella vaccination into rou…
Risk of Death Associated With Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
2020
Importance Although intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment represents the first-line therapy for many retinal diseases, the issue of their systemic safety is debatable. Objectives To assess whether intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy might be associated with increased risk of mortality and which variables are associated with the increase. Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched from inception to May 6, 2019. Study Selection Randomized clinical trials comparing intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment with control groups and with follow-up of at least 6 months were selected. Data Extractio…
POOLED ESTIMATES OF INCIDENCE OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS AFTER INTRAVITREAL INJECTION OF ANTI-VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AGENTS WITH AND WITHOUT TOPI…
2017
Purpose: To assess the effect of topical antibiotic prophylaxis on postoperative endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents.Methods: A systematic literature search was performed from inception to March 2016 using PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, to identify articles that reported cases of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents. We used a pooled analysis to estimate the incidence of cases of endophthalmitis who developed after injections performed with and without topical antibiotic prophylaxis. We used regression analysis to explore the effects of stu…
From the oxygen to the organ protection: Erythropoietin as protagonist in internal medicine
2006
Erythropoietin (EPO), already known as the stimulating hormone for erythropoiesis, has shown different and interesting pleiotropic actions. It does not only affect erythroid cells, but also myeloid cells, lymphocytes and megakaryocytes. This hormone can also enhance phagocytic function of the polymorphonuclear cells and reduce the activation of macrophages, thus modulating the inflammatory process.Moreover, hematopoietic and endothelial cells probably have the same cellular origin, and the discovery of erythropoietin receptors (EPO-R) also on mesangial and myocardial cells, smooth muscle fibrocells and neurons has prompted the study of the non-erythropoietic functions of this hormone.The in…

Metal and metallothionein content in tissues from wild and farmed Anguilla anguilla at commercial size.
2007
Metallothionein and metal content (Cd, Zn, Hg, Cu, Fe, Pb and Mn) were determined in various organs of commercially available eel (Anguilla anguilla) of similar size obtained from a local farm and from The Albufera Lake in Valencia (Spain). Farmed fish showed statistically significant higher Cd concentrations in liver and kidney whereas wild individuals had higher levels of Pb in blood and Zn in kidney. Significant positive correlations were found between metallothionein and Cd in kidney of farmed eel and between metallothionein and Cu in liver of wild ones.No statistically significant differences were found between the two populations in the concentration of any of the metals analyzed in m…
Data quality of 5 years of central norovirus outbreak reporting in the European Network for food-borne viruses
2008
ABSTRACT Background The food-borne viruses in Europe (FBVE) network database was established in 1999 to monitor trends in outbreaks of gastroenteritisdue to noroviruses (NoVs), to identify major transmission routes of NoV infections within and between participating countries and to detectdiffuse international food-borne outbreaks.Methods We reviewed the total of 9430 NoVoutbreak reports from 13 countries with date of onset between 1 January 2002 and 1 January2007 for representativeness, completeness and timeliness against these objectives.Results Rates of reporting ranged from a yearly average of 1.8 in 2003 to 11.6 in 2006. Completeness of reporting of an agreed minimumdataset improved ove…
