Identification of the As-bearing phases in fresh volcanic Andean ashes
(2014)
The sources and dynamics of arsenic in fresh volcanic ashes collected during the eruptions of Hudson (1991) and Puyehue (2011) volcanos, have been studied. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of both volcanic ashes ...
Renin-angiotensin sistem modulating funtions in the cpu
(2014)
The caudate-putamen (CPu) of the striatum is one of the main entrances to the basal ganglia. The CPu is fundamentally a dopaminergic area receiving dopamine innervation from the substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area, ...
Carbon-coated functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications
(2014)
Carbon-coated magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) were synthetized by the mechanochemical method with hematite as precursor and amorphous carbon as inorganic reductor. After 18 hours of milling in an inert atmosphere, a nanocomposite ...
LDH nanoparticles: synthesis, size control and applications in nanomedicine
(2015)
Due to their negligible toxicity and buffering properties, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are commercially employed as antacids and they are increasingly studied as vehicles in drug and gene delivery systems. The bioactive ...
Implications of prostate inflammation on male fertility
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2018-12-20)
The prostate is the seat of three major causes of morbidity: benign prostatic hyper‐plasia, prostate cancer and prostatitis, three conditions in which inflammation has been implicated. A state of inflammation ...
Thermodynamic and rheological properties of polyelectrolyte systems
(Springer, 2014)
The chapter provides a treatment of the interaction between acidic or
basic polyelctrolytes (PE) and ionizable organic molecules (selected model drugs)
in aqueous environments, in terms of acid-base reactions. The ...
Fluoride in the context of the environment
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-04-17)
An estimated 70 million people around the world suffer from fluorosis due to chronic exposure to high levels of fluoride in drinking water. The sources of this element in water are mostly geogenic, although important ...
Arsenic solid speciation in tailings of the abandoned Pan de Azucar mine, Northwestern Argentina
(2014)
In the Argentina Puna region there are several metal sulfide mines that ceased their activity twenty years ago without a proper closure plan. The exposure of the waste rocks and tailing impoundments to weathering led to ...
New insights in glutamate-mediated mechanisms underlying benzodiazepines dependence and cocaine vulnerability
(2014)
It has been described that development and persistent expression of addictive behaviors occur through the usurpation of natural learning and memory mechanisms within the limbic system. Hippocampus (HP) and medial prefrontal ...
Evaluation of inorganic arsenic species in drinking water of the southeastern of the Buenos Aires province, Argentina
(2014)
Arsenic in natural water is a worldwide concern due to chronic health effects in people exposed through the drinking water. The aim was to evaluate the distribution of As(III) and As(V), through ASV, in an Argentine area ...
