Integrated non-invasive approach to atherosclerosis with cardiac CT and carotid ultrasound in patients with suspected coronary artery disease

2017

The aim of the study was to compare the atherosclerotic disease in the coronary and carotid arteries in patients who underwent non-invasive imaging for suspected stable coronary artery disease (CAD). 107 patients (64 men, age 59 ± 12) with atypical chest pain underwent cardiac CT (CCT) and carotid ultrasound (US) on the same day. Severity (obstructive or not-obstructive disease), location, shape, and composition of atherosclerotic plaques in the two districts were evaluated. Patients presented normal coronary arteries in 36 % (n = 38), not-obstructive CAD in 36 % (n = 39), and obstructive CAD in 28 % (n = 30), while had normal carotid arteries in 53 % (n = 57), not-obstructive disease in 44…

Una Carta Puebla inédita: la capitulación de los moros de Serra de 1365

1999

La principal aportación del presente artículo es la difusión de una carta de capitulación que hasta la fecha permanecía inédita. Gracias a ésta podemos vislumbrar el papel jugado por los moros de Serra y de otros lugares de la Sierra Calderona en la guerra contra Castilla.

Prediction and Control: The Specific Role of Business Angels in the Investment Process

2019

International audience; Entrepreneurs and related investors (business angels and venture capitalists) rely on different types of rationalities. Extant research suggests that conflicts resulting from misunderstanding can emerge between entrepreneurs and investors when they adopt different rationalities but must switch those rationalities because of the maturity of their ventures and the degree of uncertainty they face. Relying on three in-depth case studies, this research contributes to both entrepreneurship and effectuation literature by emphasizing the specific role of business angels in helping entrepreneurs switch rationalities when necessary to attract funding resources from venture cap…

El virus del Papiloma Humano en cavidad oral y orofaríngea en estudiantes universitarios de 18 a 25 años en Valencia

2017

INTRODUCCIÓN Y JUSTIFICACIÓN DEL ESTUDIO El VPH es una de las infecciones virales más extendidas en la población. Estudios epidemiológicos revelan que la infección oral por VPH juega un papel importante en el desarrollo de enfermedades precancerosas o cánceres de la cavidad oral, en particular en el cáncer de células escamosas orales.1 Aunque se han descrito más de 140 genotipos de VPH, no todos ellos tienen el mismo riesgo de provocar lesiones pre-malignas o cánceres. El genotipo VPH-16 está implicado en la mayoría de estas lesiones, aunque existen otros genotipos carcinogénico. Es una infección indetectable ya que, suele revertir de forma espontánea sin derivar en lesiones premalignas o m…

Nucleation and cavitation in parahydrogen

2012

We have used a density functional approach to investigate thermal homogeneous nucleation and cavitation in parahydrogen. The effect of electrons as seeds of heterogeneous cavitation in liquid parahydrogen is also discussed within the capillary model. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac Toxin-Binding and Pore-Forming Activity in Brush Border Membrane Vesicles Prepared from Anterior and Posterior Midgut R…

2008

ABSTRACT It is generally accepted that Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins insert into the apical membrane of the larval midgut after binding to specific receptors, and there is evidence that the distribution of binding molecules along the midgut is not uniform. By use of the voltage-sensitive dye DiSC 3 (5) and 125 I-labeled Cry1Ac, we have measured the effect of Cry1Ac in terms of permeabilization capacity and of binding parameters on brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) prepared from the anterior and the posterior regions of the larval midgut from two insect species, Manduca sexta and Helicoverpa armigera . The permeabilizing activity was significantly higher with BBMV from the posterior …

Kinetic modelling of passive transport and active efflux of a fluoroquinolone across Caco-2 cells using a compartmental approach in NONMEM.

2005

The purpose was to develop a general mathematical model for estimating passive permeability and efflux transport parameters from in vitro cell culture experiments. The procedure is applicable for linear and non-linear transport of drug with time,10 or10% of drug transport, negligible or relevant back flow, and would allow the adequate correction in the case of relevant mass balance problems. A compartmental kinetic approach was used and the transport barriers were described quantitatively in terms of apical and basolateral clearances. The method can be applied when sink conditions are not achieved and it allows the evaluation of the location of the transporter and its binding site. In this …
