To specify the functional activity of cannabinoid CB1 receptor in alcohol-preferring Fawn Hooded and alcohol nonpreferring Wistar rats under naïve conditions.Cannabinoid (WIN-55,212)-stimulated [35S]-GTPgammas binding autoradiography, gene expression were measured both strains that received only water.Cannabinoid stimulated was significantly lower cingulate cortex (Cg), caudate-putamen (CPu), nucleus accumbens (Acc), ventromedial hypothalamic (VMN), amygdaloid area (AMG), fields (CA1, CA3)...

The sylvatic transmission cycle of Chagas disease in Chile is composed wild mammals and insects the genus Mepraia . We determined infection rates Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes spinolai collected 227 from two ecologically contrasting areas to assess T. infection. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified minicircle DNAs were characterized by Southern blot hybridization tests with genotype-specific probes. Infection more fertile area was almost 2-fold higher than poorer area. genotype TCI most...

In total, 61 Chilean isolates of Trypanosoma cruzi, were analysed using schizodeme and Southern analysis, as probes the highly variable regions minicircles from cloned parasites. Isolates collected amplified domestic wild triatomines, infected subjects in all endemic areas Chile. Three major parasite genotypes could be detected transmission cycle, whilst 1 T. cruzi genotype is circulating cycle. Schizodeme analysis suggested that are mixed populations, whereas analyses only 3 4 selected...

Blockchain technology has formalized how transactions of digital assets can occur, facilitating the growth virtual economies. Digital ownership allowed for goods to be traded amongst peers create markets that follow rules set by platform developer. Though economies now thrive because blockchain technology, industry hasn’t really adopted a framework measure value being created and exchanged within these markets. Looking at real countries, GDP been traditional in measuring economies’ value....

Introduction TikTok, a globally popular short-form video platform, offers unique space for healthcare professionals to share advice, particularly under common conditions such as knee pain or instability. Despite its popularity, doubts persist regarding the reliability of medical information disseminated on TikTok. This study aimed evaluate quality TikTok videos source patient instability, recognizing need comprehensive assessment potential misinformation this influential social media...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) increases morbidity, mortality, and health expenses. Its incidence is higher in critically ill patients. During the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, a of AKI requirement renal replacement therapy (RRT) was evidenced, with mortality than 80%, considered some centers as criterion for palliative management. Previous studies have compared risk factors RRT between COVID-19 other viral infections. Management extrapolated from septic AKI; however, pathophysiology, clinical course,...

El libro de Fernando Guerrero y Pablo Ospina tiene como objetivo central analizar el proceso globalización expresado en ajuste neoliberal Ecuador comportamiento del movimiento indígena la década 90. Los autores plantean dos hipótesis: a) es factor que penetra subvierte las estructuras agrarias alimenta movilización étnica b) reforzamiento identidades étnicas desde comunidades está vinculado directamente con transición a por medio surgimiento consolidación un liderazgo autónomo (que genera...

Los hechos del 30 de septiembre, que son descritos por el autor como un intento golpe Estado, se desenvuelven en nuevo escenario, ya no crisis, sino ‘refundación’ Estado y reforma institucional. En texto repasan tanto las coincidencias diferencias relación a tres golpes previos (Bucaram, 1997; Mahuad, 2000; Gutiérrez, 2005); destacando 30-S elementos analizan: reivindicaciones base corporativa, una sublevación armada sincronizada todo país acciones dirigidas desestabilizar régimen...

The sound field in open cavities with sloping walls can be represented by image sources and edge diffraction components. Sloping will generate a systematic structure to the positions of source, explicit expressions for those are presented here. Using such expressions, rather than general source method, makes it straightforward study arbitrarily high orders. When two opposite form parts an infinite wedge, then their positioned on cylindrical surface. addition floor is easy, while adding more...

Abstract Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite transmitted by triatomine insect vectors, which expel their infectious dejections when they feed, causing Chagas disease in humans. The transmission and incidence of this vector-borne depend on the vital traits its including Triatoma infestans , main vector Southern South America. Being an ectothermic species, metabolism respond to temperature fluctuations. Here, we evaluated if changes average variability expected with climate change...

En aquest article l'autor elabora una aproximació teòrica a l'escriptura de codi informàtic forma creativa (art digital) com extensió literària. Per això s'estableixen relacions entre diferents àmbits creatius partir les pròpies experiències l'artista en la generació d'obres d'art digital interactiu. Al seu torn s'exposen arguments per dibuixar un triangle vida i el genètic, narrativa del llenguatge, l'art informàtic. D'aquesta manera s'explora centralitat potencial creatiu acumulat formes...

Assistive technology in learning environments needs to foster information recall strategies as a primary advantage over traditional systems. Moreover, multi-modal priming can be used well-known strategy reinforce integration and association of memory for different stimulus modalities. A game-based training was designed aid the visual vocabulary acquisition Japanese Kanji using audio tactile stimuli priming. Preliminary results revealed that showed statistically significant increase recall....
