Abstract A spatially based approach was used to analyse the response of fish‐based metrics to human impacts in the Iberian Peninsula. A fish‐based typology was established that distinguished one salmonid type (fish assemblages dominated by Salmo trutta fario L.), two mixed types ( S. trutta fario associated with different cyprinids) and six cyprinid types (dominated by different species of barbel [ Barbus spp.], nase [ Chondrostoma spp.] or chub [ Leuciscus spp.]). These types broadly correspond to different ...

This study aimed to analyse elite badminton players' on-court movements related to contextual variables (set, round and match status). A total of 18 matches of Jakarta 2015 World Championship (1,273 points and 5,710 play actions) were examined by univariate and bivariate analyses. Significant differences were found when comparing players' on-court movements related to set, round and match status (p<0.05). All movements were executed more frequently in set 2 with the exception of Diagonal Large Backward ...

Abstract Background A deeper understanding of differences and similarities in transcriptional regulation between species can uncover important information about gene functions and the role of genes in disease. Deciphering such patterns between mice and humans is especially important since mice play an essential role in biomedical research. Results Here, in order to characterize evolutionary changes between humans and mice, we compared gene co-expression maps to evaluate the conservation of co-expression. ...

Organ donation during life is an act of great altruism, with unique family, social, economic, and psychological impacts. The group of anesthesiologists involved in this program sought to assess the degree of satisfaction among kidney donors between 2007 and 2008 and, in particular, with the anesthetic approach.A telephone survey of kidney donors in 2007 and 2008 complemented a retrospective evaluation of the records of the Acute Pain Unit.Among 32 kidney donors, 2 were excluded as impossible to ...

Abstract Mediterranean river systems are characterised by more diverse fish assemblages and regional ecological processes compared with the rest of Europe. A data set from Mediterranean France, Iberia and Greece (∼2000 sites) was used to describe the characteristics of fish assemblages, explore their responses to anthropogenic disturbance and analyse the implications for river quality assessment. There was a southwards decline in species richness per site, but endemicity and proportion of alien species ...

Background Periodontitis is associated with increased concentration of inflammatory markers and saliva has been proposed as a non-invasive diagnostic fluid in oral and systemic diseases. The levels of salivary biomarkers, such as cytokines, could potentially be used to distinguish periodontal healthy individuals from subjects with periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to characterize the salivary levels of two inflammatory biomarkers associated with periodontitis, interleukin-6 (IL-6) ...

The Nelson-Oppen method [4] allows the combination of satisfiability procedures of stably infinite theories with disjoint signatures. Due to its importance, several attempts to extend the method to different and wider classes of theories were made. In 2005, it was shown that shiny [9] and polite [6] theories could be combined with an arbitrary theory (the relationship between these classes was analysed in [6]). Later, a stronger notion of polite theory was proposed, see [3], in order to overcome a subtle ...

Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) inhibition leads to disruption in glycolysis, induces cell death and decreases cell invasion, revealing the importance of MCT activity in intracellular pH homeostasis and tumor aggressiveness. 3-Bromopyruvate (3BP) is an anti-tumor agent, whose uptake occurs via MCTs. It was the aim of this work to unravel the importance of extracellular conditions on the regulation of MCTs and in 3BP activity. HCT-15 was found to be the most sensitive cell line, and also the one ...

Abstract Street food is part of the culture in central Asia. Although nourishing food can be found, unhealthier options are becoming increasingly popular – a marker of nutrition transition. The nutritional composition of street food in urban settings is, however, unknown. The objective of the present study was, thus, to characterise the street food availability in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. A total of 800 street food vending sites in public markets were selected through random and systematic procedures. ...
