Respirar por la boca: consecuencias, prevención y tratamiento. Tips inclusivos para padres sobre el cuidado y el tratamiento de niños y no tan niños

Este libro profundiza, de una manera simple y sencilla, la mirada de los padres hacia sus hijos. ¿Cómo y cuándo duermen?. ¿Cuándo y qué comen?. ¿A qué juegan?. Son algunos interrogantes que se analizan a través de la lectura, para lograr evacuar dudas y consultas habituales. Narrado desde la mirada de una madre y, a su vez, profesional en la rehabilitación respiratoria, crea una conexión inmediata con la rutina de nuestros niños al tener como hilo fundamental la respiración. Con la certeza de que "el aire es el escultor del cuerpo y el combustible del cerebro", algo tan básico como es el acto de respirar condicionará a nuestros hijos en su desarrollo físico y emocional. Es así como cobra particular protagonismo la respiración bucal. A lo largo de esta obra se reconocerán los malos hábitos que, sin querer, incorporamos en nuestra rutina, sus consecuencias y los recursos para enderezarlos y tratarlos. Al reconocer como usuales las situaciones planteadas, en especial por causa de la respiración bucal, nos sentiremos protagonistas, tornándose en una grata lectura.

Using Surface Spectroscopy to Help Interpret STM Images of Chemisorbed Molecules: Application to the Study of the Hydrogenation of Ketones and a-Ketoesters on Pt

Depuis que la haute énantiopureté est nécessaire dans l’industrie pharmaceutique, les études visant à découvrir les mécanismes pour l’hydrogénation énantiosélective de cétones ou céto-esters sur les surfaces, et à rechercher de nouveaux et plus performants catalyseurs asymétriques, sont d’une grande importance. La microscopie à effet tunnel (STM), la spectroscopie infrarouge de réflexion-absorption, la spectroscopie de désorption à température programmée et la spectrométrie de photoélectrons induits par rayons X sont des méthodes performantes facilitant la compréhension des mécanismes de réaction. En plus de nous permettre de comprendre les mécanismes réactionnels, les études peuvent fournir des informations sur la dynamique des réactions en catalyse hétérogène ainsi que sur le développement de la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité (DFT) afin de calculer des interactions faibles dans les processus de surface. D’autres parts, les calculs DFT fournissent une aide essentielle à l’interprétation des données de STM et spectroscopie de surface. Dans cette thèse, certains cétones et céto-esters sur la surface de platine sont étudiées par les techniques sophistiquées mentionnées ci-dessus. Mes études démontrent que la combinaison de l’utilisation de la spectroscopie de routine, des nanotechnologies et de nombreux calculs élaborés, est une méthode efficace pour étudier les réactions à la surface car ces techniques explorent les différents aspects de la surface ainsi que s’entraident mutuellement lors de certaines interprétations.

Proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of polyethylene glycol-induced osmotic stress in root tips of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Previous studies have shown that polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced osmotic stress (OS) reduces cell-wall (CW) porosity and limits aluminium (Al) uptake by root tips of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). A subsequent transcriptomic study suggested that genes related to CW processes are involved in adjustment to OS. In this study, a proteomic and phosphoproteomic approach was applied to identify OS-induced protein regulation to further improve our understanding of how OS affects Al accumulation. Analysis of total soluble proteins in root tips indicated that, in total, 22 proteins were differentially regulated by OS; these proteins were functionally categorized. Seventy-seven per- cent of the total expressed proteins were involved in metabolic pathways, particularly of carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. An analysis of the apoplastic proteome revealed that OS reduced the level of five proteins and increased that of seven proteins. Investigation of the total soluble phosphoproteome suggested that dehydrin responded to OS with an enhanced phosphorylation state without a change in abundance. A cellular immunolocalization analysis indicated that dehydrin was localized mainly in the CW. This suggests that dehydrin may play a major protective role in the OS-induced physical breakdown of the CW structure and thus maintenance of the reversibility of CW extensibility during recovery from OS. The proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses provided novel insights into the complex mechanisms of OS-induced reduction of Al accumulation in the root tips of common bean and highlight a key role for modification of CW structure.
