Tropheryma whipplei endocarditis in Spain Case: reports of 17 prospective cases
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016-06)
Tropheryma whipplei endocarditis is an uncommon condition with very few series and <90 cases reported in the literature. The aim of the study was to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, and outcome characteristics of 17 ...
Quantum plasmonics: from jellium models to ab initio calculations
(Walter de Gruyter, 2016-08)
Light-matter interaction in plasmonic nanostructures is often treated within the realm of classical optics. However, recent experimental findings show the need to go beyond the classical models to explain and predict the ...
High Voltage Mg-Doped Na 0.67 Ni 0.3 − x Mg x Mn 0.7 O 2 ( x = 0.05, 0.1) Na- Ion Cathodes with Enhanced Stability and Rate Capability
(American Chemical Society, 2016-07-26)
Magnesium substituted P2-structure Na0.67Ni0.3Mn0.7O2 materials have been prepared by a facile solid-state method and investigated as cathodes in sodium-ion batteries. The Mg-doped materials described here were characterized ...
Modeling the Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle in Chloroplasts under Light/Dark Conditions
(Biomed Central, 2016-01-22)
Background: Light/dark cycles are probably the most important environmental signals that regulate plant development. Light is essential for photosynthesis, but an excess, in combination with the unavoidable presence of ...
Spin-texture inversion in the giant Rashba semiconductor BiTeI
(Nature Publishing, 2016-05)
Semiconductors with strong spin-orbit interaction as the underlying mechanism for the generation of spin-polarized electrons are showing potential for applications in spintronic devices. Unveiling the full spin texture in ...
Martha A. Finemanand legal equality: Vulnerability vs. Subordiscrimination?
(Universidad de Valencia. Publicaciones, 2016-12-19)
This article analyzes (and argues) the American legal scholar Martha A. Fineman's thesis about vulnerability. It is divided into five sections in which Fineman's paradigm is successively contextualized, projected to the ...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Subtypes. Transitions over Time
(Public Library Science, 2016-09-09)
Background
Although subtypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are recognized, it is unknown what happens to these subtypes over time. Our objectives were to assess the stability of cluster-based subtypes in ...
Evaluation of 10 AMD Associated Polymorphisms as a Cause of Choroidal Neovascularization in Highly Myopic Eyes
(Public Library Science, 2016-09-19)
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) commonly occurs in age related macular degeneration and pathological myopia patients. In this study we conducted a case-control prospective study including 431 participants. The aim of ...
Histone deacetylase inhibitors induce invasion of human melanoma cells in vitro via differential regulation of N-cadherin expression and RhoA activity
(Biomed Central, 2016-08-22)
Background: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) exert multiple cytotoxic actions on cancer cells. Currently, different synthetic HDACi are in clinical use or clinical trials; nevertheless, since both pro-invasive and ...
Prevalence and determinants of diabetes among older adults in Ghana
(Biomed Central, 2016-11-21)
Background: Diabetes is one of the leading non-communicable diseases in Africa, contributing to the increasing disease burden among the old adults. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and determinants ...
