A different pattern of risk factors for atopic and non-atopic wheezing in 9-12-year-old children

2005

Few epidemiological studies have compared the risk factors of asthma or wheezing between atopic and non-atopic children. The objective of this study was to determine if there are specific risk factors for current wheezing related to atopic status in schoolchildren. Schoolchildren 9-12 yr of age from three Spanish cities (n = 2720) were subject to a cross-sectional study of asthma risk factors (by questionnaire) and atopy (by skin prick test) according to the ISAAC phase-II protocol. Risk factors for current wheezing (in the last 12 months) as reported by parents were investigated among the atopic (positive prick test to at least one allergen) and the non-atopic (negative prick test) childre…

Occurrence of fumonisins in organic and conventional cereal-based products commercialized in France, Germany and Spain

2013

A fast and effective method for quantitative determination of fumonisins B1 and B2 (FB1 and FB2) in different cereal-based products was developed. Fumonisins were extracted combining a solid liquid extraction (SLE) pre-treatment and immunoaffinity columns (IACs), which were applied for an effective clean-up. Consecutively, high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to hybrid triple quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometer (QTrap®) was used for the separation, detection and quantification of targeted mycotoxins. The analytical method showed acceptable recoveries ranged from 89.7% to 99.1%, as well as a relative standard deviation (%, RSD) lower than 12%. A total of 1250 samples f…

Instituciones e intereses en conflicto ante la regulación contable internacional: el caso del sector financiero español

2014

ResumenEl trabajo analiza las interrelaciones entre las normas contables y la información financiera que elaboran las empresas y las instituciones y los incentivos empresariales a fin de contribuir al debate sobre el futuro de las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF). Se destaca que las diferencias en las instituciones —y en concreto en el control de la aplicación de las normas— hacen muy difícil la comparabilidad de la información, lo que impide lograr todas las ventajas que podría conllevar la adopción de las NIIF. Se ilustra esta problemática a través del proceso que sigue la normativa contable española para el sector financiero, proceso en el que el Banco de España de…

Isolation and characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus causing infection in Iberian toothcarp Aphanius iberus

1999

High mortality among laboratory cultured Iberian toothcarp Aphanius iberus occurred in February 1997 in Valencia (Spain). The main signs of the disease were external haemorrhage and tail rot. Bacteria isolated from internal organs of infected fish were biochemically homogeneous and identified as Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The bacteria were haemolytic against erythrocytes from eel Anguilla anguilla, amberjack Seriola dumerili, toothcarp A. iberus and humans, and were Kanagawa-phenomenon-negative. Infectivity tests showed that the virulence for A. iberus was dependent on salinity. Finally, all strains were virulent for amberjack and eel.
