Early OCTA Changes of Type 3 Macular Neovascularization Following Brolucizumab Intravitreal Injections
2022
Background and Objectives: Brolucizumab is a novel anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), whose efficacy has been shown in the Hawk and Harrier phase 3 clinical studies. The goal of the present case series is to report initial results of brolucizumab intravitreal injections (IVI) on type 3 neovascularization in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), evaluated by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Materials and Methods: This is a bicentric retrospective case series. Patients with newly diagnosed type 3 MNV treated with brolucizumab IVI and at least 6 months follow-up were enrolled. OCTA en face images and B-scans were analyzed for lesions at baseline, 1 m…

Comparison of a Manual and an Automated Method to Estimate the Number of Uterine Eggs in Anisakid Nematodes: To Coulter or Not to Coulter. Is That th…
2007
Studies reporting numbers of eggs in vagina and utero in nematodes often give little information of the technique used for the estimations. This situation hampers comparison among studies, because, so far, differences in estimations provided by different techniques have not been assessed. This note examines whether a manual method based on visual counts in aliquots and an automated method using a Coulter counter yield equivalent estimations of egg numbers in vagina and utero of 3 anisakid nematode species (Anisakis simplex, Pseudoterranova decipiens, and Contracaecum osculatum). The number of eggs from 50 females per nematode species was estimated using both techniques. The automated and ma…
Do vitamin E supplements in diets for laboratory animals jeopardize findings in animal models of disease?
1999
Abstract Vitamin E has been supplemented to the diets of farm animals to improve fertility, health, growth rates and quality of animal products. Because of the positive experience obtained in farm animals, vitamin E has been added in increasing amounts to the diets of laboratory animals. Today, vitamin E levels in standard rodent maintenance diets range from 30 mg/kg (France, United States), 90–120 mg/kg (Netherlands, United Kingdom) to as much as 200 mg/kg (Germany). While increasing fertility and health of laboratory animals, these vitamin E supplements affect diverse pathophysiological conditions and thus the outcome of animal models of disease. Because of the large variability of vitami…
The necessary memory: The Vida Literaria of Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva
2012
La Vida literaria de Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva (1825) se incluye en las llamadas literaturas del yo y el género autobiográfico, aunque con las limitaciones propias de la época en cuanto al tratamiento de la intimidad. Texto de carácter político y religioso que, según el autor, nace para reconstruir una época decisiva en el devenir de la revolución liberal española; y que aprovecha para justificar su cambio de postura, desde el conservadurismo a la defensa de un gobierno representativo, adscribiéndose con ello a las memorias políticas justificativas. Pero también, un documento necesario en el que a pesar de las parcialidades e intereses, persiste el empeño de revisar para entender y buscar …
