Criterios de selección y caracterización de episodios de lluvia. Aplicación a la Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar (1989-2003)
2006
El análisis espacio-temporal de la lluvia precisa de la identificación de episodios, en función del objetivo de la investigación y la escala de trabajo. En esta comunicación se proponen criterios de selección de episodios, con objetivos hidrológicos, y se aplican al territorio de la Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar, en base a los datos diarios de 15 años (1989-2003), proporcionados por el Sistema Automático de Información Hidrológica. Se seleccionan 363 episodios y se caracterizan en base a indicadores de total, duración, intensidad e irregularidad, calculados en once unidades territoriales. El análisis de estos indicadores evidencia una dicotomía litoral-interior. El ámbito litoral (ex…
Un paisaje que cambia. Monumentos que fueron en tierras valencianas
2001
En el presente artículo se estudian varios edificios de la Comunidad Valenciana, que se remontan a una época relativamente lejana. A la luz de los estudios recientes y de la investigación arqueológica se puede constatar la escasez de restos, a excepción de algún caso aislado. El contenido comprende fundamentalmente murallas, castillos, palacios señoriales, torres, algún convento o ermita, y el Jardín Botánico del palacio del Arzobispo en Puzol. Las comarcas donde se ubican los monumentos son: "el Camp de Morvedre", "el Camp del Turia", "l'Horta Nord", "la Plana de Utiel-Requena", "la Ribera Alta", "la Safor", "la Vall d'Albaida" y "la Costera".

María Magdalena. Continuidad y variación en la cultura audiovisual (1897-2014)
2017
El objetivo principal de esta tesis consiste en analizar la presencia de María Magdalena en las producciones audiovisuales del periodo comprendido entre 1897 y 2014. Dichas producciones proceden de Europa, Estados Unidos, Canadá y México. El marco metodológico general a partir del que se plantea el análisis es la iconología, entendida como Zwichenraum o tierra de confluencias. En concreto, la noción de continuidad y variación, iniciada por Aby Warburg y continuada por Fritz Saxl, es la principal cuestión teórica en la que se basa la aproximación. El estudio se lleva a cabo en perspectiva diacrónica con el objetivo de detectar dichas fases de continuidad y variación del personaje a lo largo …
Identification of a novel LMF1 nonsense mutation responsible for severe hypertriglyceridemia by targeted next-generation sequencing
2016
Background Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) may result from mutations in genes affecting the intravascular lipolysis of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins. Objective The aim of this study was to develop a targeted next-generation sequencing panel for the molecular diagnosis of disorders characterized by severe HTG. Methods We developed a targeted customized panel for next-generation sequencing Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine to capture the coding exons and intron/exon boundaries of 18 genes affecting the main pathways of TG synthesis and metabolism. We sequenced 11 samples of patients with severe HTG (TG>885 mg/dL–10 mmol/L): 4 positive controls in whom pathogenic mutations had pre…
Variable phenotypic expression of chylomicron retention disease in a kindred carrying a mutation of the Sara2 gene
2010
Chylomicron retention disease is a recessive inherited disorder characterized by fat malabsorption and steatorrhea and is associated with failure to thrive in infancy. We describe a kindred carrying a mutation of Sara2 gene causing a chylomicron retention phenotype. The proband was a 5-month-old baby, born of consanguineous, apparently healthy parents from Morocco, with failure to thrive. There was a large quantity of fats in feces and malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Intestinal biopsies showed a diffused enterocyte vacuolization with large cytosolic lipid droplets. Chylomicron retention disease or Anderson disease was hypothesized, and the Sara2 gene was analyzed by direct sequencing…
Diagnostic accuracy of fecal elastase 1 assay in patients with pancreatic maldigestion or intestinal malabsorption: a collaborative study of the Ital…
2001
Several reports have indicated that fecal elastase-1 (EL-1) determination is a new, sensitive, and specific noninvasive pancreatic function test; however, very few patients with malabsorption due to small intestine diseases have been included in the previous studies. The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of fecal EL-1 and fecal chymotrypsin (FCT) in distinguishing between pancreatic maldigestion and intestinal malabsorption. Three groups of subjects were studied: group A included 49 patients with known cystic fibrosis (25 males, median age 5 years); group B included 43 subjects with various small intestine diseases (17 males, median age 6 years); and group C included 4…
Management of cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea.
2013
Abstract Introduction Cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea results from an abnormal communication between the subarachnoid space and tympanomastoid compartment; most of them are of traumatic aetiology. They have clinical interest due to the potential risk of meningitis, directly related to the aetiology. Our aim was to show our experience in the management of this process. Methods A total of 17 patients were diagnosed and treated for cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea from 2003 to 2011. Results In our study, the highest percentage of cases was spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea, with a wide clinical presentation. The diagnosis was based on the determination of beta-2-transferrin and radiological st…
The Applicability of a Checklist for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency: Results of the Italian Exocrine Pancreatic Ins…
2020
Objective To evaluate a rapid checklist capable of identifying exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in outpatients. Methods Prospective observational study of a multicenter cohort. Results One hundred and two patients were enrolled; 61.8% of the patients had medically-treated benign or malignant pancreatic disease, and 38.2% had a pancreatic resection. Visual examination of the feces was evaluated in 84 patients and it was related to steatorrhea in 51 patients (50.0%). Receiver operating characteristic curves were evaluated for each symptom or clinical sign and four of them (ie, increase in daily bowel movements, number of bowel movements, fatty stools, >10% weight loss) had a satisfactory …
