Purpose. To determine whether canalicular occlusion with collagen and silicone plugs reduces the severity of symptoms in patients with conjunctivitis secondary to dry eye. Methods. This was a prospective, randomized, double-masked study conducted at a single center in Mexico, in which 61 patients with dry eye/conjunctivitis were assigned to progressive lacrimal occlusion with collagen and silicone plugs or a sham procedural group. Outcome variables included total and individual dry eye and conjunctivitis ...

The relation of blood Pb concentrations and renal dysfunction has been reported in association with interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and decreased glomerular filtration. In this report information about blood Pb concentrations and renal function tests in a population from Oaxaca, Mexico is analyzed. The main changes found were that males had higher blood Pb concentrations than females (P<0.0012); the leading variables associated with this were occupation (glazed pottery workers, P=0.0001) and ...

Abstract Translocation—an extensively used conservation tool—is a potentially stressful event, as animals are exposed to multiple stressors and cannot predict or control the changes in their environment. Therefore, it may be expected that during a translocation program stress accumulates and social behavior changes. Here, we present data from a translocation of four adult mantled howlers ( Alouatta palliata ), which was conducted in southern Veracruz (Mexico). We found that stress (measured in fecal corticosterone) ...

Sleep spindles and K-complexes are electroencephalographic hallmarks of non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep that provide valuable information into brain functioning, plasticity and sleep functions in normal and pathological conditions. However, they have not been systematically investigated in spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA).

Several studies have focused on investigation of the optimal salvage regimen to induce maximum response before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's disease (HD). However, in most of these studies, the follow‐up is relatively short. In the present study, we report on long‐term results of 55 consecutive patients with HD who received Mini‐BEAM [BCNU (carmustine), etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan] as salvage therapy before ASCT.

Abstract The pathophysiology of sepsis involves complex cytokine and inflammatory mediator networks. Downregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase contributes to sepsis-induced endothelial dysfunction. Human Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) are known to reduce expression of proinflammatory cytokines and markers of apoptosis. We hypothesized that treatment with WJ-MSCs would protect renal, hepatic, and endothelial function in a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of ...

DDR1 has been linked to schizophrenia (SZ) and myelination. Here, we tested whether DDR1 variants in people at risk for SZ influence white matter (WM) structural variations and cognitive processing speed (PS). First, following a case-control design (Study 1), SZ patients (N = 1193) and controls (N = 1839) were genotyped for rs1264323 and rs2267641 at DDR1, and the frequencies were compared. We replicated the association between DDR1 and SZ (rs1264323, adjusted P = 0.015). Carriers of the rs1264323AA combined ...
