Alveolar nitric oxide and its role in pediatric asthma control assessment
(Biomed Central, 2014-08-04)
Resumen
Background: Nitric oxide can be measured at multiple flow rates to determine proximal (maximum airway nitric oxide flux; Jaw(NO)) and distal inflammation (alveolar nitric oxide concentration; CA(NO)). The main ...
Association of lifestyle factors and inflammation with sarcopenic obesity: data from the PREDIMED-Plus trial
(Wiley, 2019-05-29)
Background Sarcopenia is a progressive age-related skeletal muscle disorder associated with increased likelihood of adverse outcomes. Muscle wasting is often accompanied by an increase in body fat, leading to 'sarcopenic ...
Gut microbiome and serum metabolome analyses identify molecular biomarkers and altered glutamate metabolism in fibromyalgia
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
Background: Fibromyalgia is a complex, relatively unknown disease characterised by chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain. The gut-brain axis connects the gut microbiome with the brain through the enteric nervous system ...
Metabolic alterations in urine extracellular vesicles are associated to prostate cancer pathogenesis and progression
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-05-07)
Urine contains extracellular vesicles (EVs) that concentrate molecules and protect them from degradation. Thus, isolation and characterisation of urinary EVs could increase the efficiency of biomarker discovery. We have ...
Exchange biased FeNi/FeMn bilayers with coercivity and switching field enhanced by FeMn surface oxidation
(AIP Publishing, 2013-09)
FeNi/FeMn bilayers were grown in a magnetic field and subjected to heat treatments at temperatures of 50 to 350 degrees C in vacuum or in a gas mixture containing oxygen. In the as-deposited state, the hysteresis loop of ...
An overview of progress in electrolytes for secondary zinc-air batteries and other storage systems based on zinc
(Elsevier, 2017-01-11)
The revived interest and research on the development of novel energy storage systems with exceptional inherent
safety, environmentally benign and low cost for integration in large scale electricity grid and electric
vehicles ...
Systematic cycle life assessment of a secondary zinc–air battery as a function of the alkaline electrolyte composition
(Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018-05-30)
Development of secondary zinc-air batteries goes through a proper specification of the electrolyte formulation adapted to extend the cycle life of the battery. However, defining an optimal formulation is not a trivial work ...
The university image: a model of overall image and stakeholder perspectives
(Instituto de Economía Aplicada a la Empresa (Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU), 2018-11)
[EN] In order to further knowledge regarding the factors that have most influence on the university image, a measurement model was established in this research from the perspective of society and validated using covariance ...
Cellulose Nanocrystal Membranes as Excipients for Drug Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2016-12-12)
In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were obtained from flax fibers by an acid hydrolysis assisted by sonochemistry in order to reduce reaction times. The cavitation inducted during hydrolysis resulted in CNC with ...
Functional Chitosan Derivative and Chitin as Decolorization Materials for Methylene Blue and Methyl Orange from Aqueous Solution
(MDPI, 2019-02-01)
Dyes are classified as one of the major pollutants of water. They have negative impacts not only on environment but also on human health. In fact, wastewater that contains these harmful substances requires many types of ...
