Primary peristalsis in pigeon cervical oesophagus: two EMG patterns.
1984
Swallowing elicits two propagated EMG peristaltic patterns in pigeon cervical oesophagus: i) "simple" peristaltic pattern and ii) "complex" peristaltic pattern. "Simple" peristaltic pattern is characterized by an intense, long-lasting burst of spikes, high in amplitude with an aboral increasing delay in onset. "Complex" peristaltic pattern presents an early short period of reduction in spontaneous electrical activity, followed by an excitatory period similar to that of "simple" pattern. The early inhibitory component has a very short delay in onset increasing aborally. Atropine abolishes the EMG excitatory component of both patterns, while the inhibitory period persists, showing increased d…
PATRONES DIFERENCIALES ENTRE PADRES Y PROFESORADO EN LA DETECCIÓN DE TDAH
2015
INTRODUCTION . The diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD) has increased in recent years. The criteria for ADHD have become clearer in the scientific community. However, it is a complex disorder that requires the participation of a multidisciplinary team for an appropriate diagnosis. METHOD . Taking as a sample (N = 331) 6 to 9 year-old students from Cuenca, this study analyzed the existence of differential patterns between the two ratings, using the EMA-D.D.A. Scales (Garcia-Perez y Magaz, 2006). Different approaches to hypothesis testing are used, and the internal consistency of the scales is valued. RESULTS . The differences observed suggest differential influen…
Are You Able to Trust Me? Analysis of the Relationships Between Personality Traits and the Assessment of Attractiveness and Trust
2021
Behavioral and neuroimaging studies show that people trust and collaborate with others based on a quick assessment of the facial appearance. Based on the morphological characteristics of the face, i.e., features, shape, or color, it is possible to determine health, attractiveness, trust, and some personality traits. The study attempts to indicate the features influencing the perception of attractiveness and trust. In order to select individual factors, a model of backward stepwise logistic regression was used, analyzing the results of the psychological tests and the attractiveness and trust survey. Statistical analysis made it possible to select the most important personality traits related…
The Effects of Probiotics and Prebiotics on Gastrointestinal and Behavioural Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder
2021
Background: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are a group of prevalent neuropsychiatric disorders. They present a complex and unknown etiology, which in most cases includes significant peripheral alterations outside the brain such as in the composition of gut microbiota. Because the gut microbiota is involved in modulating the gut-brain axis, several studies have suggested that the microbiome in the gut can modify metabolites which are able to cross the blood-brain barrier and modulate brain function. Methods: We reviewed the current evidence regarding microbiota alterations in patients with ASD and the effects of the administration of probiotics and prebiotics in these patients, both in te…
Database Versioning 2.0, a Transparent SQL Approach Used in Quantitative Management and Decision Making
2015
Abstract Managerial decisions are based on accurate information and in today's time raw data is produced even with a stroke of a key. Regardless of the data creating process one needs to know how the information was extracted and which pool of data was used. One important factor is time therefore we need to structure it in layers of data history in such a way that it can be analyzed, (post)process, in order to be able to retrieve valuable information. The simplest way is to use a Database Management System (DBMS), but even with such a management system we face the issue of making it a self-contained database on each version of data added. Our proposed system, a continuation of previous work…
Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
2008
Lupus erythematosus (LE) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease, characterized by a heterogeneous clinical presentation. The skin lesions are one of the most frequent symptoms of the disease and present with a broad spectrum of LE-nonspecific and LE-specific cutaneous manifestations. Therefore, the development of a classification for skin lesions in the disease has proven difficult. For example, the LE-nonspecific cutaneous manifestations include livedo racemosa, thrombophlebitis, and leukocytoclastic vasculitis and can be associated with high disease activity and systemic organ involvement. The LE-specific cutaneous manifestations encompass the subtypes of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE…
Factorial structure of recklessness: To what extent are older drivers different?
2003
This study tests whether the original factorial structure of a recklessness questionnaire can be maintained for the current Spanish population of older drivers.Our recent interest in dedicating special attention to senior citizen mobility (Monterde, 2001), is due to the impending increase of the aging population in Western countries; this has led us to reinitiate the psychometric study of the construct validity, revising and including older drivers in the psychometric aspects of those evaluation instruments that will then be used in the Spanish psycho-medical check of drivers and in research.Factorial analysis was used to determine validity.There was an appearance of a different psychologic…
Protocol for developing a mental imagery intervention: a randomised controlled trial testing a novel implementation imagery e-health intervention to …
2019
IntroductionDrowning due to driving into floodwater accounts for a significant proportion of all deaths by drowning. Despite awareness campaigns such as 'If it's flooded, forget it', people continue to drive into floodwater. This causes loss of life, risk to rescuers and damage to vehicles. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate an online e-health intervention to promote safe driving behaviour during flood events.Methods and analysisThe study will use a 2×3 randomised controlled trial in which participants are randomised into one of two conditions: (1) education about the risks of driving into floodwater or (2) education about the risks of driving into floodwater plus a theory-ba…

Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and exploratory efficacy of the novel enzyme replacement therapy avalglucosidase alfa (neoG…
2019
This multicenter/multinational, open-label, ascending-dose study (NCT01898364) evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and exploratory efficacy of repeat-dose avalglucosidase alfa (neoGAA), a second-generation, recombinant acid α-glucosidase replacement therapy, in late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD). Patients ≥18 years, alglucosidase alfa naïve (Naïve) or previously receiving alglucosidase alfa for ≥9 months (Switch), with baseline FVC ≥50% predicted and independently ambulatory, received every-other-week avalglucosidase alfa 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg over 24 weeks. 9/10 Naïve and 12/14 Switch patients completed the study. Avalglucosidase alfa was well-tolerated; no deaths…
