A revision of the genus Muricea Lamouroux, 1821 (Anthozoa, Octocorallia) in the eastern Pacific. Part II
(2016-04-14)
The species of the genus Muricea were mainly described from 1846 to 1870. After that very few contributions were published. Although the highest richness of Muricea species is in the eastern Pacific shallow waters, a ...
When genes move farther than offspring: gene flow by male gamete dispersal in the highly philopatric bat species Thyroptera tricolor
(2013-11)
For species characterized by philopatry of both sexes, mate selection represents an important behaviour for inbreeding avoidance, yet the implications for gene flow are rarely quantified. Here, we present evidence of male ...
Hormone replacement therapy reduces lipid oxidation directly at the arterial wall: A possible link to estrogens’ cardioprotective effect through atherosclerosis prevention
(2018)
Background: The first step in atherosclerosis formation is the ingurgitation of an oxidized low‑density lipid (LDL)
molecule by a macrophage which then turns into a foam cell within the vascular wall and initiates a ...
Efficacy comparison of oral rehydration solutions containing either 90 or 75 millimoles of sodium per liter
(1987-02-01)
In a randomized trial, 62 infants 2 to 35 months of age with dehydration due to acute watery diarrhea were allocated to one of two groups: group A received solution A (World Health Organization-recommended oral rehydration ...
Early behavioral changes after nigro-striatal system damage can serve as predictors of striatal dopamine depletion
(1999)
1. Rats which had received a unilateral injection of 6-OHDA into the substantia nigra were assigned to four lesion groups according to the degree of DA depletion in the neostriatum. In these animals, behavioral changes in ...
Isolation and characterization of four medium-size disintegrins from the venoms of Central American viperid snakes of the genera Atropoides, Bothrops, Cerrophidion and Crotalus
(2014-12)
Four disintegrins were isolated from the venoms of the Central American viperid snakes Atropoides mexicanus (atropoimin), Bothrops asper (bothrasperin), Cerrophidion sasai (sasaimin), and Crotalus simus (simusmin). ...
Sensorial descriptors for vegetarian pigeon pea hamburger patties according to a focus group
(2015)
The Pigeon Pea is a legume that has become an alternative food security crop, associated with improvement of the soil, fodder, green manure and the protection of hidric basins. It is rich in vitamins and proteins and ...
A test of color-based taxonomy in nudibranchs: Molecular phylogeny and species delimitation of the Felimida clenchi (Mollusca: Chromodorididae) species complex
(2016)
Traditionally, species identification in nudibranch gastropods relies heavily on body color pattern. The
Felimida clenchi species complex, a group of brightly colored Atlantic and Mediterranean species in the
family ...
X-ray screening seems to reduce gastric cancer mortality by half in a community-controlled trial in Costa Rica
(British Journal of Cancer 97, p. 837 – 843, 2007-10-02)
X-ray screening of gastric cancer is broadly used in Japan, although no controlled trial has proved its effectiveness. This study evaluates the impact of an X-ray screening demonstrative intervention to reduce gastric ...
Genetic analysis of the dry forest timber tree Sideroxylon capiri in Costa Rica using AFLP
(2015-01)
Sideroxylon capiri (“Tempisque”) is a threatened and economically important timber species in the dry forest of Costa Rica. To assess the extent of the genetic diversity between and within populations of this species, 86 ...
