Two novel amino acid substitutions in highly conserved regions of prion protein (PrP) and a high frequency of a scrapie protective variant in native …
2019
Background Polymorphisms of the prion protein gene may influence scrapie susceptibility in small ruminants through modified protein conformation. At least 47 amino acid substitutions and 19 silent polymorphisms have been described in goat PRNP reported from several countries. The objective of this study was to investigate PRNP polymorphisms of native Ethiopian goat breeds and compare the results with other goat breeds. Results The analysis of the prion protein gene PRNP in 229 goats belonging to three of the main Ethiopian native goat breeds showed a remarkably high frequency (> 34.6%) of p.(Asn146Ser) in these breeds, a variant involved in scrapie resistance in Cyprus. In addition, two nov…

La tentazione del moderno. Gesualdo Bufalino e il romanzo europeo del primo Novecento
2020
The work of Gesualdo Bufalino relies on a permanent dialogue with the great modernist models of European fiction. A whole network of allusions, innuendos and micro-quotations from the great novels of Mann, Kafka, Proust, Musil, Joyce, Woolf, is scattered among the pages of Diceria dell’untore, a novel which was conceived as a “serious game” using previous textual materials and recombining them in order to create a new architecture of meaning. In Bufalino’s following books as well, the central position assigned to the Ego coexists with a plot in which the inner experiences of the characters count more than the objective facts. There is an urgency of truth and meaning. The fact that this trut…

A novel mutation in FGFR-3 disrupts a putative N-glycosylation site and results in hypochondroplasia
2000
Winterpacht, Andreas, Katja Hilbert, Christiane Stelzer, Thorsten Schweikardt, Heinz Decker, Hugo Segerer, Jürgen Spranger, and Bernhard Zabel. A novel mutation in FGFR-3 disrupts a putative N-glycosylation site and results in hypochondroplasia. Physiol. Genomics 2: 9–12, 2000.—Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is a glycoprotein that belongs to the family of tyrosine kinase receptors. Specific mutations in the FGFR3 gene are associated with autosomal dominant human skeletal disorders such as hypochondroplasia, achondroplasia, and thanatophoric dysplasia. Hypochondroplasia (HCH), the mildest form of this group of short-limbed dwarfism disorders, results in ∼60% of cases from a mut…
La novela gráfica como recurso didáctico en tiempos de pandemia: una propuesta intercultural para dinamizar la asignatura de Conversación del Grado e…
2022
El azote pandémico ha marcado un implacable punto de inflexión en la escena educativa. Concretamente, en la R. P. China, contexto en el que se inserta la presente experiencia, la docencia en línea ha pasado a ser la tónica de una parte significativa del profesorado hispanohablante sin opción de regreso. Dicha coyuntura, además de dificultar la enseñanza de una asignatura eminentemente comunicativa como Conversación, plantea la imperiosa necesidad de redefinir el proceso didáctico al abrazo de propuestas que, por un lado, comulguen con la identidad del alumnado meta y, por otro, estimulen su participación activa en el aula virtual. El presente artículo contextualiza y desgrana la propuesta d…
Prevalence and 30-Day Mortality in Hospitalized Patients With Covid-19 and Prior Lung Diseases.
2021
Patients with pre-existing respiratory diseases in the setting of COVID-19 may have a greater risk of severe complications and even death.A retrospective, multicenter, cohort study with 5847 COVID-19 patients admitted to hospitals. Patients were separated in two groups, with/without previous lung disease. Evaluation of factors associated with survival and secondary composite end-point such as ICU admission and respiratory support, were explored.1,271 patients (22%) had a previous lung disease, mostly COPD. All-cause mortality occurred in 376 patients with lung disease (29.5%) and in 819 patients without (17.9%) (Previous lung disease is a risk factor for mortality in patients with COVID-19.…
Novel Food Processing and Extraction Technologies of High-Added Value Compounds from Plant Materials
2018
Some functional foods contain biologically active compounds (BAC) that can be derived from various biological sources (fruits, vegetables, medicinal plants, wastes, and by-products). Global food markets demand foods from plant materials that are “safe”, “fresh”, “natural”, and with “nutritional value” while processed in sustainable ways. Functional foods commonly incorporate some plant extract(s) rich with BACs produced by conventional extraction. This approach implies negative thermal influences on extraction yield and quality with a large expenditure of organic solvents and energy. On the other hand, sustainable extractions, such as microwav…

The Sickle and the Piano. A Distant Reading of Work in the Nineteenth Century Romanian Novel
2020
This article conducts a semantic search of The Digital Museum of the Romanian Novel: The 19th Century (MDRR), through which the authors attempt to identify the occurrences of several key concepts for class and labour imagery in the nineteenth-century Romanian novel, such as “muncă” [labour/work], “muncitor” [labourer/worker], “țăran” [peasant], “funcționar” [civil servant], alongside two main words that strikingly point out to a dissemblance of representation of work: “seceră” [sickle] and “pian” [piano]. The authors show that physical work is underrepresented in the Romanian novel between 1844 and 1900, and that novelists prefer to participate to the rise of the novel through representing …
