(2006)
Developmental and social factors are known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of affective disorders. Although it has been demonstrated that early life aversive experiences can be a risk factor in the development ...
Isolation of Flavonoids from Deguelia duckeana and Their Effect on Cellular Viability, AMPK, eEF2, eIF2 and eIF4E
(2016)
Preparations of Deguelia duckeana, known in Brazil as timbó, are used by indigenous people to kill fish. Reinvestigation of its extracts resulted in the isolation and identification of 11 known flavonoids identified as ...
Modelling Diffusion Effects in Fertility Transition
(1993)
Mathematical models bind theory to precise formulations, and by doing so accentuate logical inconsistences in theories and facilitate their testing. In this article we explore the implications of simple mathematical models ...
Effect of Preservatives on IgG Aggregation, Complement-activating Effect and Hypotensive Activity of Horse Polyvalent Antivenom Used in Snakebite Envenomation
(2002-06)
Intravenous administration of antivenoms is associated with early adverse reactions in a number of cases, but the causes of this phenomenon are still unclear. The effect of preservatives (phenol and thimerosal) on IgG ...

(2000)
Se analizaron los posibles efectos de la actividad solar en la temperatura superficial del aire y precipitación en Centro América. La correlación entre las series de manchas solares y las variables climáticas mencionadas ...
Acute Effects of Exercise on Blood Pressure: A Meta-Analytic Investigation
(2015)
Hypertension affects 25% of the world’s population and is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disorders and other diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the evidence regarding the acute effect of exercise ...
Parental age effects, but no evidence for an intrauterine effect in the transmission of myotonic dystrophy type 1
(European Journal of Human Genetics p.1-8, 2014-07-23)
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by the expansion of an unstable CTG repeat (g.17294_17296(45_1000)) with more repeats associated with increased disease severity and reduced age at onset. Expanded disease-associated ...
Predicting mortality with biomarkers: a population-based prospective cohort study for elderly Costa Ricans
(Population Health Metrics 10(1), 2012)
Background: Little is known about adult health and mortality relationships outside high-income nations, partly
because few datasets have contained biomarker data in representative populations. Our objective is to ...
Pharmacological modulation of edema induced by Lys-49 and Asp-49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 isolated from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper (terciopelo)
(1998-12)
The pharmacological modulation of edema-forming activity of Bothrops asper myotoxins II and III, Lys-49 and Asp-49 phospholipases A2, respectively, was studied plethysmographically in the mouse foot pad model. Myotoxin III ...
Individual Differences In The Forced Swimming Test And The Effect Of Environmental Enrichment: Searching For An Interaction
(Neuroscience 265(1):95-107, 2014-02-05)
Animals with low and high immobility in the forced
swimming test (FST) differ in a number of neurobehavioral
factors. A growing body of evidence suggests that the exposure
to enriched environments mediates a number ...
