This is a short text about a lecture I gave during the XV Congress of the Argentinian Society of Plant Physiology, in Mar del Plata, in September 2014. In this Opinion, I show some scientometrics of science and plant science ...

Monge's disease, also known as chronic mountain sickness (CMS), is a disease that potentially threatens more than 140 million highlanders during extended time living at high altitudes (over 2500m). The prevalence of CMS ...

The developing human fetus is able to cope with the physiological reduction in oxygen supply occurring in utero. However, it is not known if microvascularization of the fetus is augmented when pregnancy occurs at high ...

Physiological and morphological responses of plants under water stress by infrared spectroscopy

This manuscript brings a critical reflection on the epistemological foundations of the science of plant physiology. We discuss the limits of the reductionist view of the science, indicating new epistemological possibilities ...

Acute hypoxemia results in hypertension, bradycardia, and cardiac output redistribution in fetal sheep. The blood flow redistribution is produced by differential changes in vascular resistance of various fetal organs. ...

Intravenous administration of the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone to asphyxiated fetal sheep increases the arterial blood pressure. We examined the hypothesis that endogenous opioids modify the cardiac output distribution ...
