Nonlinear brain-heart interactions in children with focal epilepsy assessed by mutual information of EEG and heart rate variability
2019
Network physiology is a recent approach describing the human body as an integrated network composed of several organ systems which continuously interact to produce healthy and diseased states. In this work, we apply the network physiology paradigm to study dynamical interactions between EEG activity and heart rate variability in children suffering from focal epilepsy. We aim to study the characteristics of brainheart coupling between, before, and after seizures to better understand the physiological mechanisms underlying seizure onset in the pre-ictal phase and the recovery of normal autonomic function in the post-ictal phase. In perspective, linking the dynamic information of brain-heart c…

Abstract Soybean DAS‐44406‐6 expresses 5‐enolpyruvyl‐shikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase (2mEPSPS), conferring tolerance to glyphosate‐based herbicides, aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase (AAD‐12), conferring tolerance to 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4‐D) and other related phenoxy herbicides, and phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT), conferring tolerance to glufosinate ammonium‐based herbicides. The molecular characterisation data and bioinformatics analyses did not identify issues requiring assessment for food/feed safety. The agronomic and phenotypic characteristics revealed no relevant differences between soybean DAS‐44406‐6 and its conventional counterpart, except for pod count, seed cou…
Data from: Symbiotic polydnavirus and venom reveal parasitoid to its hyperparasitoids
2018
Symbiotic relationships may provide organisms with key innovations that aid in the establishment of new niches. For example, during oviposition, some species of parasitoid wasps, whose larvae develop inside the bodies of other insects, inject polydnaviruses into their hosts. These symbiotic viruses disrupt host immune responses, allowing the parasitoid’s progeny to survive. Here, we show that symbiotic polydnaviruses also have a downside to the parasitoid’s progeny by initiating a multi-trophic chain of interactions that reveals the parasitoid larvae to their enemies. These enemies are hyperparasitoids that use the parasitoid progeny as host for their own offspring. We found that the virus …
Valoración biomecánica de la columna vertebral basada en el análisis funcional de diversas actividades de la vida diaria
2018
En la literatura se han utilizado pruebas dinámicas sobre movimientos sencillos, como la flexo-extensión del tronco o la marcha, para distinguir de manera objetiva entre sujetos sanos y pacientes con dolor lumbar de causa inespecífica. No tenemos constancia de estudio alguno que haya registrado de manera simultánea los patrones de actividad neuromuscular de la musculatura extensora de la espalda, musculatura abdominal, glúteos e isquiotibiales y los patrones de movimiento lumbo-pélvico, estudiando el efecto de la velocidad y carga, mediante técnicas no invasivas durante actividades de la vida diaria, y los haya comparado entre distintos grupos de pacientes con dolor lumbar y alteraciones es…
Characterization of Epileptic Spiking Associated With Brain Amyloidosis in APP/PS1 Mice
2019
Epileptic activity without visible convulsions is common in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and may contribute adversely to the disease progress and symptoms. Transgenic mice with amyloid plaque pathology also display epileptic seizures, but those are too infrequent to assess the effect of anti-epileptic treatments. Besides spontaneous seizures, these mice also display frequent epileptic spiking in epidural EEG recordings, and these have provided a means to test potential drug treatment to AD-related epilepsy. However, the origin of EEG spikes in transgenic AD model mice has remained elusive, which makes it difficult to relate electrophysiology with underlying pathology at the cellular and molecul…

L’EQUA TASSAZIONE DELLE MULTINAZIONALI IN EUROPA: IMPOSIZIONE SUL DIGITALE O REGOLE COMUNI PER DETERMINARE GLI IMPONIBILI?
2019
Il tema della fair taxation delle società in Europa viene spesso accoppiato a quello della corretta tassazione delle imprese digitali. A queste ultime, più che ad altre, infatti, si imputa di aver fruito di forme impositive di favore e poco trasparenti. È proprio in quest’ottica che la Commissione ha recentemente formulato due proposte di direttiva per una soluzione “temporanea” ed una “a regime” al problema della tassazione del comparto digitale. Bisogna, tuttavia, comprendere se i più rilevanti fenomeni di “base erosion” e “profit shifting” siano ricollegabili esclusivamente alle modalità con le quali le imprese digitali attuano il loro business o se, invece, essi non siano stati determin…
Iron Induces Proliferation and Morphogenesis in Primmorphs from the Marine SpongeSuberites domuncula
2002
Dissociated cells from marine demosponges retain their proliferation capacity if they are allowed to form special aggregates, the primmorphs. On the basis of incorporation studies and septin gene expression, we show that Fe3+ ions are required for the proliferation of cells in primmorphs from Suberites domuncula. In parallel, Fe3+ induced the expression of ferritin and strongly stimulated the synthesis of spicules. This result is supported by the finding that the enzymatic activity of silicatein, converting organosilicon to silicic acid, depends on Fe3+. Moreover, the expression of a scavenger receptor molecule, possibly involved in the morphology of spicules, depends on the presence of Fe3…
Synovial giant cells in rheumatoid arthritis: Expression of cystatin C, but not of cathepsin B
2000
This study was designed to investigate the expression of the matrix degrading proteinase cathepsin B and its endogenous inhibitor cystatin C in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with special regard to multinucleated synovial giant cells (SGC). We applied an immunohistochemical double-labeling technique. SGC strongly expressed cystatin C and CD68, but were negative for cathepsin B. This staining pattern occurred in osteoclasts as well. Our findings support the idea that in RA matrix destruction by cathepsin B is not mediated by SGC or osteoclasts, but by mononuclear synoviocytes.
