Mugilid Fish Are Sentinels of Exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in Coastal and Estuarine Environments
(MDPI, 2014-09-12)
Effects on fish reproduction can result from a variety of toxicity mechanisms first operating at the molecular level. Notably, the presence in the environment of some compounds termed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) ...
Assembly of viral genomes from metagenomes
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-12-18)
Viral infections remain a serious global health issue. Metagenomic approaches are increasingly used in the detection of novel viral pathogens but also to generate complete genomes of uncultivated viruses. In silico ...
Una didascalia olvidada a la Hecyra de Terencio
(Brepols Online, 2014)
A few witnesses of the XVth c. transmit a didascalia to Terence’s Hecyra different from the two known so far, and difficult to be considered as a forgery or distortion of any of the other Terentian didascaliae. The text ...
Cheese consumption and prevalence of overweight and obesity in a Basque adult population: a crosssectional study
(Informa Healthcare, 2014)
[EN] Studies have reported a negative association between dairy product consumption and weight status. However, not as much research has focused on cheese; therefore, the aim of this study was to study the association ...
Viral metagenomic analysis of feces of wild small carnivores
(Biomed Central, 2014-05-15)
Background: Recent studies have clearly demonstrated the enormous virus diversity that exists among wild animals. This exemplifies the required expansion of our knowledge of the virus diversity present in wildlife, as well ...
A New Method for Feedback on the Quality of Chest Compressions during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves through the use of CPR feedback devices. Most feedback devices integrate the acceleration twice to estimate compression depth. However, they use additional sensors ...
A Reliable Method for Rhythm Analysis during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
nterruptions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compromise defibrillation success. However, CPR must be interrupted to analyze the rhythm because although current methods for rhythm analysis during CPR have high ...
CGP37157, an inhibitor of the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, protects neurons from excitotoxicity by blocking voltage-gated Ca2+ channels
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-04)
Inhibition of the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCLX) by CGP37157 is protective in models of neuronal injury that involve disruption of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. However, the Ca2+ signaling pathways and stores ...
Sylphella puccoon gen. n., sp n. and two additional new species of aquatic oligochaetes (Lumbriculidae, Clitellata) from poorly-known lotic habitats in North Carolina (USA)
(Pensoft, 2014)
Three new species of Lumbriculidae were collected from floodplain seeps and small streams in southeastern North America. Some of these habitats are naturally acidic. Sylphella puccoon gen. n., sp. n. has prosoporous male ...
Modelling Lipid Competition Dynamics in Heterogeneous Protocell Populations
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-07-14)
Recent experimental work in the field of synthetic protocell biology has shown that prebiotic vesicles are able to 'steal' lipids from each other. This phenomenon is driven purely by asymmetries in the physical state or ...
