Regional Hippocampal Atrophy and Higher Levels of Plasma Amyloid-Beta Are Associated With Subjective Memory Complaints in Nondemented Elderly Subjects
(The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, 2016)
Background:
Evidence suggests a link between the presence of subjective memory complaints (SMC) and lower volume of the hippocampus, one of the first regions to show neuropathological lesions in Alzheimer’s disease. ...
Metabolic alterations in prostate cancer pathogenesis
(2016-09-16)
Activation of the PTEN-PI3K-mTORC1 pathway consolidates metabolic programs thatsustain cell growth, proliferation and promote cancer initiation and progression. In this thesis workwe describe a novel molecular mechanism ...
Correction of Fat-Water Swaps in Dixon MRI
(Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention − MICCAI 2016. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2016)
The Dixon method is a popular and widely used technique for fat-water separation in magnetic resonance imaging, and today, nearly all scanner manufacturers are offering a Dixon-type pulse sequence that produces scans with ...
Multicenter prospective study on the burden of rotavirus gastroenteritis in children less than 3 years of age in Spain
(Biomed Central, 2016-10-10)
Background: Rotavirus is acknowledged as an important cause of paediatric gastroenteritis worldwide. In Spain, comprehensive data on the burden of rotavirus disease was lacking.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter, ...
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 ...
Physical principles underlying structure, mechanics and dynamic re-organization of hyaluronan-rich matrices - from tissues to supramolecular models in experiment and theory
(2016-07-29)
The goal of this research project is to understand the physical principles that underlie the structure, mechanics and dynamic reorganization of hyaluronan-rich pericellular and extracellular matrices. Many cells produce a ...
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 ...
