Cri-du-chat syndrome mimics Silver-Russell syndrome depending on the size of the deletion: a case report
(Biomed Central, 2018-12-27)
BackgroundSilver-Russell Syndrome (SRS) is a rare growth-related genetic disorder mainly characterized by prenatal and postnatal growth failure. Although molecular causes are not clear in all cases, the most common mechanisms ...
Drilling Process in γ-TiAl Intermetallic Alloys
(MDPI, 2018-11-26)
Gamma titanium aluminides (gamma-TiAl) present an excellent behavior under high temperature conditions, being a feasible alternative to nickel-based superalloy components in the aeroengine sector. However, considered as a ...
Potential Benefits and Risks for Soil Health Derived From the Use of Organic Amendments in Agriculture
(MDPI, 2019-09-12)
The use of organic amendments in agriculture is a common practice due to their potential to increase crop productivity and enhance soil health. Indeed, organic amendments of different origin and composition (e.g., animal ...
Acute L-DOPA administration reverses changes in firing pattern and low frequency oscillatory activity in the entopeduncular nucleus from long term L-DOPA treated 6-OHDA-lesioned rats
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
The pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) is associated with aberrant neuronal activity and abnormal high levels of oscillatory activity and synchronization in several basal ganglia ...
RNA-Seq analysis of ileocecal valve and peripheral blood from Holstein cattle infected with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis revealed dysregulation of the CXCL8/IL8 signaling pathway
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-10-16)
Paratuberculosis is chronic granulomatous enteritis of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Whole RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a promising source of novel biomarkers for early MAP infection ...
Encapsulation of β-alanine model amino-acid in zirconium(IV) metal organic frameworks: Defect engineering to improve host guest interactions
(Elsevier, 2020-04)
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous coordination networks assembled through
metal complexes with organic linkers. Due to their chemical versatility, these materials are
being investigated for various applications ...
Effects of Leucine-Enriched Whey Protein Supplementation on Physical Function in Post-Hospitalized Older Adults Participating in 12-Weeks of Resistance Training Program: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(MDPI, 2019-10-01)
Age-related strength and muscle mass loss is further increased after acute periods of inactivity. To avoid this, resistance training has been proposed as an effective countermeasure, but the additional effect of a protein ...
Electrospinning of Fish Gelatin Solution Containing Citric Acid: An Environmentally Friendly Approach to Prepare Crosslinked Gelatin Fibers
(MDPI, 2019-09-01)
The majority of the crosslinking approaches employed to confer water resistance properties to electrospun gelatin mats are based on the use of potential cytotoxic agents, turning out to be not suitable for biomedical ...
Characterization of efficient networks in a generalized connections model with endogenous link strength
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2019-05-09)
We consider a natural generalization of Jackson and Wolinsky s (1996) connections model where the quality or strength of a link depends on the amount invested in it and is determined by a non-decreasing function of that ...
Optimum dimensional synthesis using GIMSYNT software
(Springer, 2019-06-14)
In the field of mechanism design, optimum dimensional synthesis
plays a significant role. Focusing on path generation synthesis, the designer has
to find the most adequate mechanism capable of tracing a trajectory as ...
