Se recogieron casos entre marzo 2014 y 2015, interrogando sistemáticamente a los...

This paper reports the application of near‐infrared Raman spectroscopy to detect ephedrine in biological medium. At present time, doping control for athletes uses urinalysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, with main disadvantage need collecting urine and time delay obtain results. work aims develop a noninvasive technique that will allow evaluate concentration real diagnosis. A system composed Ti:Saphire laser pumped an Argon was used, operating at wavelength 785 nm, power 70 mW...

Background: Blockage of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) is used to determine role NCX in arrhythmogenesis. Trisulfated heparin disaccharide (TD) and Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWHs) can directly interact with accelerate its activity. Objective: In this work, we investigated antiarrhythmic effect oligosaccharides related Methods: The effects were tested on current (patch clamping) intracellular calcium transient rat cardiomyocytes. further arrhythmia induced isolated atria rats vivo....
