Tratamiento de hipertrigliceridemia con terapia botánica y fibratos

Debido al aumento que ha venido presentado la práctica de la medicina tradicional en los últimos años, la OMS presenta en el 2003 la estrategia sobre la práctica de la medicina tradicional a los países en los cuales este tipo de medicina es más frecuente año tras año. Las plantas se han ido clasificando y han recibido denominación botánica, también han sido químicamente analizadas para poder distinguir sus componentes y diferenciar sus principios activos. Los Fibratos son fármacos utilizados ampliamente en la práctica clínica para la regulación de los lípidos y reducción del riesgo cardiovascular. A ellos se les atribuye una disminución promedio en los niveles de triglicéridos del 36%.

Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002, s 32 - Duty to Disclose - consequences of non-disclosure - discretion to excuse non-compliance

In Newson v Aust Scan Pty Ltd t/a Ikea Springwood [2010] QSC 223 the Supreme Court examined the discretion under s 32(2) of the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (Qld), to permit a document which has not been disclosed as required by the pre-court procedures under the PIPA to be used in a subsequent court proceeding. This appears to be the first time that the nature and parameters of the discretion have been judicially considered.

Cerebral cortex activation mapping upon electrical muscle stimulation by 32-channel time-domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy

The application of different EMS current thresholds on muscle activates not only the muscle but also peripheral sensory axons that send proprioceptive and pain signals to the cerebral cortex. A 32-channel time-domain fNIRS instrument was employed to map regional cortical activities under varied EMS current intensities applied on the right wrist extensor muscle. Eight healthy volunteers underwent four EMS at different current thresholds based on their individual maximal tolerated intensity (MTI), i.e., 10 % < 50 % < 100 % < over 100 % MTI. Time courses of the absolute oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentrations primarily over the bilateral sensorimotor cortical (SMC) regions were extrapolated, and cortical activation maps were determined by general linear model using the NIRS-SPM software. The stimulation-induced wrist extension paradigm significantly increased activation of the contralateral SMC region according to the EMS intensities, while the ipsilateral SMC region showed no significant changes. This could be due in part to a nociceptive response to the higher EMS current intensities and result also from increased sensorimotor integration in these cortical regions.

Vibrational spectroscopic study of the sulphate mineral glaucocerinite (Zn,Cu)10Al6(SO4)3(OH)32⋅18H2O – a natural layered double hydroxide

We have studied the molecular structure of the mineral glaucocerinite (Zn,Cu)5Al3(SO4)1.5(OH)16�9(H2O) using a combination of Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The mineral is one of the hydrotalcite supergroup of natural layered double hydroxides. The Raman spectrum is characterised by an intense Raman band at 982 cm�1 with a low intensity band at 1083 cm�1. These bands are attributed to the sulphate symmetric and antisymmetric stretching mode. The infrared spectrum is quite broad with a peak at 1020 cm�1. A series of Raman bands at 546, 584, 602, 625 and 651 cm�1 are assigned to the m4 (SO4)2� bending modes. The observation of multiple bands provides evidence for the reduction in symmetry of the sulphate anion from Td to C2v or even lower symmetry. The Raman band at 762 cm�1 is attributed to a hydroxyl deformation mode associated with AlOH units. Vibrational spectroscopy enables aspects of the molecular structure of glaucocerinite to be determined.

Improved linear cryptanalysis of reduced-round SIMON-32 and SIMON-48

In this paper we analyse two variants of SIMON family of light-weight block ciphers against variants of linear cryptanalysis and present the best linear cryptanalytic results on these variants of reduced-round SIMON to date. We propose a time-memory trade-off method that finds differential/linear trails for any permutation allowing low Hamming weight differential/linear trails. Our method combines low Hamming weight trails found by the correlation matrix representing the target permutation with heavy Hamming weight trails found using a Mixed Integer Programming model representing the target differential/linear trail. Our method enables us to find a 17-round linear approximation for SIMON-48 which is the best current linear approximation for SIMON-48. Using only the correlation matrix method, we are able to find a 14-round linear approximation for SIMON-32 which is also the current best linear approximation for SIMON-32. The presented linear approximations allow us to mount a 23-round key recovery attack on SIMON-32 and a 24-round Key recovery attack on SIMON-48/96 which are the current best results on SIMON-32 and SIMON-48. In addition we have an attack on 24 rounds of SIMON-32 with marginal complexity.

Understanding changes in the Himalayan cryosphere using remote sensing techniques

In the Himalayas, a large area is covered by glaciers and seasonal snow and changes in its extent can influence availability of water in the Himalayan Rivers. In this paper, changes in glacial extent, glacial mass balance and seasonal snow cover are discussed. Glacial retreat was estimated for 1868 glaciers in 11 basins distributed in the Indian Himalaya since 1962. The investigation has shown an overall reduction in glacier area from 6332 to 5329km2 from 1962 to 2001/2 - an overall deglaciation of 16%. Snow line at the end of ablation season on the Chhota Shigri glacier observed using field and satellite methods suggests a change in altitude from 4900 to 5200m from the late 1970s to present. Seasonal snow cover was monitored in the 28 river sub-basins using normalized difference snow index (NDSI) technique in Central and Western Himalaya. The investigation has shown that in the early part of winter, i.e. from October to December, a large amount of snow retreat was observed. For many basins located in lower altitude and in the south of the Pir Panjal range, snow ablation was observed throughout the winter season. In addition, average stream runoff of the Baspa basin for the month of December increased by 75%. This combination of glacial retreat, negative mass balance, early melting of seasonal snow cover and winter-time increase in stream runoff might suggest an influence of global warming on the Himalayan cryosphere.

Efecto de concentraciones de aceite de algodón sobre la viabilidad, patogenicidad, estabilidad de la cepa CB-32 de Beauveria bassiana (Bals y vuils)

En Nicaragua, Plutella xylostella es la plaga que causa mayores daños al cultivo de repollo (Brassica oleracea) lo que implica una gran inversión en el control de la misma. Para contribuir a la búsqueda de alternativas para el Manejo integrado de esta plaga se realizó este estudio en las instalaciones del Centro Nacional de Protección Vegetal (CENAPROVE) y en la Universidad Nacional Agraria durante el periodo comprendido entre Febrero 1991 y Febrero 1992. Se evaluó la Cepa CB-32 del hongo entomopatógeno Beauveria bassiana (Bals & Vuils) en 6 formulaciones conteniendo 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%. 8% y 10% de aceite de algodón en agua sobre larvas del segundo instar de P. xylostella. La concentración de conidias en las formulaciones fué de 3.35x108 En un rango de tiempo de 14-30 horas después de la inoculación en PDA se distinguieron con un mayor porcentaje de germinación de conidias las formulaciones con O y 2% de aceite de algodón. Las mismas demostraron mayor sedimentación reportando 0.2 y 0.5 ml seis horas después de ser sometidas a reposo. Para la evaluación del efecto de la radiación solar sobre las conidias de B. bassiana se realizó un análisis de varianza y pruebas de Tukey con un 95% de confianza, las respaldan que las formulaciones pueden separarse en cuatro categorías estadísticas diferentes de las cuales en primer lugar tenemos las formulaciones con O y 2% de aceite que presentan el mayor porcentaje de germinación de conidias expuestas a 24 horas de radiación solar (86.61% y 80.36%) respectivamente. A la variable patogenicidad de las conidias de B. bassiana en huésped de Plutella xylostella se efectúo un análisis de varianza y prueba de Tuckey y resulto que las formulaciones pueden clasificarse en 3 categorías estadísticas, sobresaliendo la patogenicidad de las conidias de las formulaciones con O y 2% de aceite reportando 95 y 80% respectivamente. El tiempo letal para las formulaciones no varió provocando la mortalidad dos días después de la inoculación de las larvas por el método de inmersión.
