Influence of carbenoxolone on the anticonvulsant efficacy of conventional antiepileptic drugs against audiogenic seizures in DBA/2 mice
2004
Carbenoxolone, the succinyl ester of glycyrrhetinic acid, is an inhibitor of 11beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase and gap junctional intercellular communication. It is currently used in clinical treatment of ulcer diseases. Systemic administration of carbenoxolone (1-40 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.)) was able to produce a dose-dependent decrease in DBA/2 audiogenic seizure severity score. Glycyrrhizin, an analogue of carbenoxolone inactive at the gap-junction level, was unable to affect audiogenic seizures at doses up to 30 mg/kg. In combination with conventional antiepileptic drugs, carbenoxolone, 0.5 mg/kg, i.p., which per se did not significantly affect the occurrence of audiogenic sei…
Antiepileptic drug use in nursing home residents: a cross-sectional, regional study.
2006
Summary The use of antiepileptic drugs (AED), their primary indication, comorbid conditions, and concomitant medications were collected from 565 nursing homes (NH) residents of six NH located around the city of Mainz, Germany representing 5.05% of all NH residents in the area. Data were collected from the electronic pharmacy files and by reviewing all available medical records. Average age was 82.2±2.4 years, 85.5% were women. Of 565 NH residents 28 (4.96%) received AED therapy, of which in 17 (63%) AED were prescribed for a seizure-related diagnosis. In 76.5% seizure types were unspecified and a distinction in focal and generalized epilepsy was made in only 23.5% of patients. Three patient…
The Philippines 2017 : Duterte-led Authoritarian Populism and Its Liberal-Democratic Roots
2017
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte led a phenomenal campaign to win the 2016 national election. During his first two years in power Duterte has become the protagonist and exemplar of a key new development – the social formation of a regime of authoritarian populism. Based on an analysis of news reports, public debates, survey results, and official policy documents from 2017, the article examines various features of this emergent regime and then illuminates the historical-institutional mechanisms that brought it about. The inquiry is predicated on an understanding that the old EDSA Republic’s liberal-democratic regime has been marked by intractable socio-economic crises since its installat…
La vida cotidiana de los vecinos de Manila a través de sus testamentos e inventarios de bienes
2019
With the general objective indicated in its title, this work tries to highlight relevant aspects in the continuity of the Spanish domain in the Philippines, dependent on the maintenance of the Spanish capital. The inevitable selection of topics has lead the preferences of this work towards the residents collaboration to defend the city, the conversion of many of them into traders of exotic products and singular slaves owners, and their collaboration to an incredible miscegenation due to the ethnic variety. On the other hand, to follow the footsteps of the first generation of residents in Manila, at the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century, this work gives us some information …

In vivo investigations on microcirculatory disturbances induced by crenated erythrocytes following norepinephrine application
1974
Using a special apparatus for high resolution cinephotomicrography, which allows simultaneous observation and recording of microcirculatory changes, alterations in blood flow patterns and in red cell shape during norepinephrine acting have been studied. Under physiological conditions, and during slowing of capillary blood flow due to gradual removing of 20–25% of the circulating blood volume, the normal red cells are extremely deformable while passing through mesenteric capillaries. After application of norepinephrine a general arteriolar constrictive response in the bowel wall occurs, causing a further slowing of the capillary blood flow in the mesentery. Under these circumstances the eryt…
Phonon properties of the spinel oxideMgTi2O4with theS=1/2pyrochlore lattice
2003
We study the phonon dynamics of ${\mathrm{MgTi}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ spinel by measuring the Raman and infrared reflectivity spectra in a wide frequency $(100--3000{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1})$ and temperature (10 K--300 K) range. The reflectivity spectra are analyzed by a fitting procedure based on a model which includes both Drude and phonon oscillator contributions to the dielectric constant. The phonon assignment is done from comparison between experimental data and shell model lattice dynamical calculations. We find two infrared-active ${F}_{1u}$ symmetry modes superimposed on the free carrier continuum, and four Raman-active modes of ${1A}_{1g},$ ${1E}_{g},$ and ${2F}_{2g}$ symme…
First-principles electronic structure of spinelLiCr2O4:A possible half-metal
2004
We have employed first-principles electronic structure calculations to examine the hypothetical (but plausible) oxide spinel, ${\mathrm{LiCr}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ with the ${d}^{2.5}$ electronic configuration. The cell (cubic) and internal (oxygen position) structural parameters have been obtained for this compound through structural relaxation in the first-principles framework. Within the one-electron band picture, we find that ${\mathrm{LiCr}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ is magnetic, and a candidate half-metal. The electronic structure is substantially different from the closely related and well-known rutile half-metal ${\mathrm{CrO}}_{2}.$ In particular, we find a smaller conduction-band width…
Vestibular adaptation to centrifugation does not transfer across planes of head rotation
2008
Out-of-plane head movements performed during fast rotation produce non-compensatory nystagmus, sensations of illusory motion, and often motion sickness. Adaptation to this cross-coupled Coriolis stimulus has previously been demonstrated for head turns made in the yaw (transverse) plane of motion, during supine head-on-axis rotation. An open question, however, is if adaptation to head movements in one plane of motion transfers to head movements performed in a new, unpracticed plane of motion. Evidence of transfer would imply the brain builds up a generalized model of the vestibular sensory-motor system, instead of learning a variety of individual input/output relations separately. To investi…
