Application of concept mapping for histology and system immune learning
(American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), 2013)The main objective of this work in University Teaching, National Technological University, Cordoba Regional Faculty, Argentina, was to characterize the implementation of the strategy of concept mapping for learning Histology ... -
Body mass index and sperm quality: effects of overweight and underweight
(IVIRMA Global, IVIRMA Global, 2013)We previously reported a negative association between body mass index (BMI) and sperm motility and seminal alpha-glucosidase concentrations (NAG), suggesting that epididymis may be a target organ for weight-linked alterations. ... -
Bone Diseases as the only clinical manifestation of gaucher disease type
(Sociedad Latinoamericana de Errores Innatos del Metabolismo y Pesquisa Neonatal, 2013)Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal disease, due to the deficiency of Iˆ2-glucosidase, characterized by invol vement of hematopoietic organs such as the spleen, liver, bone marrow, lung, and bone. Bone is the second most ... -
Brachiocephalic trunk anomalies and variations
(Revista Argentina de Anatomía Clínica, 2013-05-24)Knowledge of anatomical anomalies and variations on the brachiocephalic trunk (BCT) are important in medical practice, mainly for the interpretation of diagnostic images, in surgical procedures of thorax and neck, and may ... -
cDNA isolation and expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase gene in the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans
(American Society of Tropial Medicine and Hygiene, 2018)Pyrethroid resistance has been detected in Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), which was atributed to target site insensitivity and increased oxidative metabolism of the insecticide by cytochrome P450s. NADPH ... -
Clinical and clinically oriented anatomy for medical students
(Federación Internacional de Asociaciones de Anatomistas, 2013-06-06)Medicine curriculum in the University of on Cordoba was changed in 1973. Until that time Anatomy was developed into four different courses: descriptive anatomy, topographic anatomy, surgical technique and surgical anatomy ... -
Clock gene period in the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2018)To contribute to a better understanding of the molecular bases of the circadian biological rhythms in Chagas disease vectors, in this work we identified functional domains in the sequences of the clock protein PERIOD in ... -
Cochlear implant in far advanced otosclerosis. Performance complications-long term results
(Grupo Iberoamericano de Implantes Cocleares y Ciencias afines (GICCA), 2013-04)Patients with far advanced otosclerosis demonstrated good performance with CI in 26/32 cases. In the cases with otosclerosis type 3, 5/6 patients had more difficulty in the insertion of electrodes, 1 of them with 2 electrodes ... -
Combined effects of obesity, alcohol and smoking habit on semen quality of 2483 men attending an andrology clinic
(IVIRMA Global, IVIRMA Global, 2013)Several factors have been identified as detrimental for sperm physiology (i.e. tobacco, alcohol, obesity, endocrine disruptors, etc); however, none of them can justify seminal decline by itself. Therefore, the objective ... -
Creatine metabolism and hyperammonemia in argentinian patients with ornithine transcarbamilase deficiency
(2013)Introduction: Creatine (Cr) biosynthesis requires 2 enzymes, arginine–glycine amidinotransferase and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase, and it can be taken up by cells using transporters. Recent studies demonstrated the ... -
Detection and molecular characterization of Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia abortus in psittacine pet birds in Buenos Aires province, Argentina
(2018)In order to determine the presence and genetic diversity of Chlamydia spp. in thenorth-eastern area of Buenos Aires province, Argentina, conjunctival, oropharyngeal, cloacalswab and tissues were collected from a total of ... -
Detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) in oral cavity lesions: comparison with other risk factors
(2013)Human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered the causative agent of cervix cancer; however, its relationship with oral cancer is controversial. Objectives: To detect the presence of HPV genotypes in lesions of the oral cavity ... -
Dietary patterns in adult population from Argentina
(International Union of Nutritional Sciences, International Union of Nutritional Sciences, 2013)Background and objectives: Dietary patterns (DP) have been used to identify different combinations of foods that may be associated with mortality and risk of chronic disease. The objective of this study was to identify ... -
Distribution of genetic polymorphisms associated to hepatitis c virus (HCV) antiviral response in a multiethnic and admixed population
(2013-09)Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near IL28B and ITPA genes have been described as predictors of response to antiviral treatment and ribavirin induced-hemolytic anemia in HCV patients, respectively. The prevalence of ... -
Downregulation of GLI1- dependent survival pathway underlies arachidonic acid antitumoral activity
(Argentine Society for biochemistry and molecular biology research, 2013)Numerous studies have demonstrated a role for essential fatty acids (ePUFAs) during tumor evelopment. However, the molecularmechanism underlying this phenomenon remains elusive. Here, we defined a novel molecular mechanism ... -
Effects of dietary omega-3 PUFAs on growth and development: Somatic, neurobiological and reproductive functions in a murine model
(2018)Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) are relevant to fetal and infant growth and development. Objective: to assess whether long-term exposure to dietary ω-3 PUFA imbalance alters pre- and/or postnatal pups' ... -
Effects of the L-arginine supplementation in the fetal development alterations in a congenital chagas disease mouse model
(2013)A nutritional protein deficit would induce modifications in fetal development, parasitemia and congenital Chagas transmission, while arginine intake would improve this situation. Female mice (C3H strain) were feeded with ... -
Effects Of The L-Arginine Supplementation In The Fetal Development Alterations In A Congenital Chagas Disease Mouse Model
(Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, 2013)A nutritional protein deficit would induce modifications in fetal development, parasitemia and congenital Chagas transmission, while arginine suministration would improve this situation. Female mice (C3H strain) were fed ...
