High genetic diversity of species A rotaviruses detected in swine farms in Chile
(Microbiology Society, 2017-04)
Rotavirus A is one of the main causative agents of diarrhoea in lactating and weaned pigs worldwide. Its impact in the swine industry is well documented. However, in Chile, the current epidemiological status of rotavirus ...
Modified genetic algorithms to model cluster structures in medium-sized silicon clusters: Si18 - Si60
(2006)
This paper presents the results obtained using a genetic algorithm (GA) to search for stable structures of medium-size silicon clusters. This is the third report in which a GA coupled with the MSINDO semiempirical molecular ...
Epidemiology of nosocomial bacteria resistant to antimicrobials.
(2011-11-10)
Nosocomial infections are a major challenge for public health because of the high rates of morbidity and mortality
generated. It was considered that the excessive or inappropriate use of antibiotics triggers the emergence ...
Greater Growth of Proximal Metatarsals in Bird Embryos and the Evolution of Hallux Position in the Grasping Foot
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017)
© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. In early theropod dinosaurs—the ancestors of birds—the hallux (digit 1) had an elevated position within the foot and had lost the proximal portion of its metatarsal. It no longer articulated ...
Heterochrony and Morphological Variation of Epithalamic Asymmetry
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017)
© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Heterochrony is one proposed mechanism to explain how morphological variation and novelty arise during evolution. To experimentally approach heterochrony in a comprehensive manner, we must ...
The presence of ancient human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I provirus DNA in an Andean mummy
(1999)
The worldwide geographic and ethnic clustering of patients with diseases related to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) may be explained by the natural history of HTLV-I infection. The genetic characteristics ...
Effects of zinc on structural characteristics of proteoglycans synthesized by proliferating and hypertrophic chondrocytes in culture
(1996)
Zinc (Zn) supplementation has been shown to stimulate longitudinal growth under marginal nutritional status. The mechanisms by which Zn stimulates longitudinal growth are still unknown. We have previously investigated the ...
IGF-1 activates polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis, protein kinase C isoforms and ERK pathway in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes
(1997)
Because IGF- lisa natural cardioprotective which migh; improve cardiac function and stimulates growth and proliferation of carfiac myocytes, there is considerable interest to elucidate the molecular f!iechanisms by which ...
Cistinosis nefropática: caso clínico que ilustra diagnóstico molecular
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2018)
Nephropatic cystinosis (NC) is a rare disease associated with pathogenic variants in the CTNS gene, with a common variant that consists of a 57kb-deletion involving CTNS. Patients with NC that are treated with cysteamine ...

(Public library science, 2018-05-17)
Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a parasitic disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.), is a worldwide zoonotic infection. Although endemic in Chile, information on the molecular characteristics ...
