Introduction Pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinomas are associated with abnormal body composition visible on CT scans, including low muscle mass (sarcopenia) radiodensity due to fat infiltration in (myosteatosis). The biological clinical correlates these features poorly understood. Methods Clinical characteristics outcomes were studied 123 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic or non-pancreatic adenocarcinoma had available preoperative scans. In a subgroup of...

Summary The movement of materials and organisms between ecosystems is a common process in nature. In the present study we investigate hypothesis that transport nutrients by low‐mobility species their effect on terrestrial depends habitat topography. Specifically, hypothesized influence marine organism with low mobility environments would be spatially restricted. To address this analysed distribution (both geographical local scales) Galapagos sea lion colonies, quantified spatial extent (soil...
Foreign body (FB) ingestion and aspiration are frequent causes of pediatric emergency room visits, with significant morbidity mortality risks. This cross-sectional study analyzed 1,052 patients admitted for suspected FB events at a single institution between 2008 2015, including 886 cases 166 aspiration. Cluster analysis identified three distinct clusters both groups, respiratory symptoms being predominant in worse outcomes. The were associated increased complication rates (13.0% aspiration,...
NK-lysin is a potent antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with activity against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. type of granulysin, member the saposin-like proteins family first isolated from pig’s small intestine. In previous work, for time, we identified four variants nk-lysin Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) using EST sequences. present study, reported characterized two additional transcripts S. . Besides, evaluated tissue distribution three NK-lysins assessed antimicrobial, hemolytic,...
Three species of otariids are found in the coastal zone and marine area Ecuador Galapagos Islands. Two species, sea lion (Zalophus wollebaeki ) fur seal (Arctocephalus galapagoensis), endemic to Galapagos. The South American (Otaria flavescens has been recorded several times on Ecuadorian coast, even small semi-permanent or resident male groups (~10-30 animals) have frequently observed two southern locations (Santa Clara Island Punta Brava-Salinas). most recent estimates populations,...
Multivalent live-attenuated or inactivated vaccines are often used to control the bovine viral diarrhea disease (BVD). Still, they retain inherent disadvantages and do not provide expected protection. This study developed a new vaccine prototype, including external segment of E2 protein from five different subgenotypes selected after massive screening. The proteins every subgenotype (1aE2, 1bE2, 1cE2, 1dE2, 1eE2) were produced in mammalian cells purified by IMAC. An equimolar mixture...
Three fundamental foraging patterns in air-breathing marine vertebrates have been described: epipelagic, mesopelagic and benthic. Many sea lion species with access to extensive continental shelves described as benthic foragers. Coincidently these are considered threatened. The Galapagos Zalophus wollebaeki, a top predator the Islands, is also threatened this ecosystem. Sea lions at central part of archipelago vast shelf. For reason we hypothesized that within region would dive benthically....
Previously, we designed a subunit vaccine candidate based on three L. intracellularis antigens with promising results in pigs. In this study, were produced individually to achieve an even antigen ratio the formulation. The emulsion characterization included drop size and mechanical thermal stability. Immune response was evaluated by indirect sandwich ELISAs, qPCR, flow cytometry. candidate's safety assessed histopathology monitoring clinical behavior of animals. average production yielded...
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus, has had devastating consequences worldwide. Remarkably, incidence, virus transmission capacity, and severity of have been reported to be significantly decreased in high-altitude human populations. clinical significance these findings is enormous, as they suggest that permanent inhabitants high altitudes developed adaptive protective changes against certain pathologies. However, observations overshadowed contradictory reports on mortality...
<title>Abstract</title> Foreign body (FB) events are prevalent in emergency room consultations, with 107,000 cases annually the United States (80% pediatric population). They result an estimated 1,500 mortalities each year. A cross-sectional study between February 2008 and September 2015, employing hierarchical cluster analysis of signs symptoms at presentation to was performed. Sensitivity, specificity, decision curve for a caregivers’ report calculated confirmed FB diagnosis as reference....
A \emph{simple} matrix is a (0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. For $F$, we say that $A$ has $F$ as \emph{Berge hypergraph} if there submatrix $B$ of and some row column permutation $G$, $G\le B$. Letting $||A||$ denote the number columns in $A$, define extremal function $Bh(m,{ F})=\max\{||A||\,:\, \hbox{ }m\hbox{-rowed simple Berge hypergraph }F\}$. We determine asymptotics $Bh(m,F)$ for all $3$- $4$-rowed most $5$-rowed $F$. certain this becomes problem determining maximum copies $K_r$...
Lawsonia intracellularis remains a problem for the swine industry worldwide. Previously, we designed and obtained vaccine candidate against this pathogen based on chimeric proteins: OMP1c, OMP2c, INVASc. These proteins formed inclusion bodies when expressed in E. coli, which induced humoral cellular immune responses vaccinated pigs. Also, protection was demonstrated after challenge. In study, established production process to increase yields of three antigens as candidate. Batch fed-batch...

Reduced skeletal attenuation on CT scan also often accompanies cachexia, this thought to be related fat infiltration (myosteatosis). We postulated that changes in body composition signify cachexia adversely affect perioperative outcomes survival. Methods: 123 patients who underwent Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy for adenocarcinoma or...
