Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are incretin hormones. Lack of GLP-1 receptor signaling has been reported to be compensated for by increased GIP secretion action. Conversely sensitivity in knockout ( Gipr -/- ) mice. This suggests a compensatory adaptation loss via action/secretion the remaining hormone. We assessed glucose-stimulated during oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) isolated perfused intestines Glp-1r mice their wild-type...

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate if access orthopedic surgery differs by healthcare coverage in a country with dual system adjusted age, sex, and urgent elective conditions. We hypothesize that differential would exist according the type of coverage. difference accentuate when analyzing surgery. Methods A cross-sectional, population-based design was used investigate rates Chile 2018. The surgeries provided under private public systems were calculated per 1,000 inhabitants...

Frostbite is a common injury in high altitude medicine. Intravenous vasodilators have proven efficacy and, recently, been proposed as safe outpatient treatment. Nevertheless, the lack of availability and consequently delayed application this treatment option can result poor clinical outcomes for patients. We present case 60-year-old Chilean man with severe frostbite injuries suffered while climbing Mount Everest. The patient was initially given field to extent permitted by conditions...

In the neuronal electrically stimulated vas deferens of rat, responses evoked by morphine, β-endorphin and catecholamines were studied. The tissue was obtained from rats at various times (7–60 days) following castration, adrenalectomy castration with adrenalectomy. Pharmacological data are presented which verify an increased reponsiveness to morphine after or without contrast, decreased responsiveness observed alone. Decreased Since unchanged this treatment (castration, adrenalectomy), it is...

Introduction: Most studies about surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) focus on specific population subgroups, worker’s compensation patients, or types treatment. There are no general epidemiological characterization surgically treated patients with CTS. Factors such as gender, age, and health insurance status may influence the rate Purpose: Evaluate factors in CTS surgery a mixed care system. Materials Methods: Nationwide transversal study total Chile during 2012. The surgeries...
