Prevalencia de Fasciola hepatica en ganado bovino de Lidia

Fasciolosis remains a relatively frequent parasitic infection in cattle, despite the great implantation and efficacy of fasciolicides. In the present work, the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica has been observed for five years, analyzing 251 bullfighting cattle, evaluating the presence of macroscopic lesions in the liver. Moreover, the relationship with the temperature and average rainfall of the year, and also it describes the pathophysiological consequences during bullfighting. Methodology: it was carried out in Madrid (July-September 2013-2017). Results: n=251 animals in five years, 50.20±2.68 evaluated per year, which 14 had lesions, on average 2.80±1.64 per year. Likewise, a total of 4 compatible animals with lesions were reported during the five years, with an average of 0.80±0.84 animals per year. The average annual temperature was 15.78±0.48° C. The average annual rainfall was 570.20±102.21mm. A statistical correlation was observed between the carcasses with lesions and the average annual rainfall (P<0.01) and the annual mean temperature (P<0.05). The experiment revealed lower prevalence (5.61±2.82) than the one described by different authors, having also compatible climatological conditions with the growth of the parasite and all its intermediate hosts. The study reveals that a good praxis using antiparasitic drugs is not entirely efficient.
Testicular Microstructure and Hormonal Profilae Following HAART Administration: The Role of Jatropha Tanjorensis

Africa is endemic to the human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS). In rural settings, the use of orthodox medicine with herbal medication is common. The efficacy of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has led to increased demand for its therapeutic use although reported to induce structural abnormalities in testicular tissues among other complications. Jatropha tanjorensis (JT) leaf has been reportedly for its numerous benefits which include; antioxidant, anti-anemic and spermatogenic potentials. This study investigated the alterations in testosterone and testis microstructure following the administration of HAART(Zidovudine, Lamivudine and Levirapine [ZLN]), JT ethanolic leaf extract and the concomitant administration of ZLN and JT using in vivo model. Twenty male Wistar rats weighing 163-267 g were allotted into 4 groups of 5 rats per group. Animals were fed with growersâÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂpellet and provided water ad libitum. Group 1 served received placebo; group 2 received JT 670.8 mg; group 3 received ZLN 9.285 mg while group 4 received a combination of JT 670.8 mg and ZLN 9.285 mg per kg body weight respectively. All administrations were performed via oro-gavage for 7 days. On day 8, animals were humanely sacrificed under chloroform inhalation; with blood obtained for hormonal assay while the testes were harvested, weighed and processed for routine histology. Testicular histo-architecture revealed mild distortions in the seminiferous tubules of test groups, with significantly (p<0.05) increased testosterone compared to control. In conclusion concomitant administration of ZLN and JT possess testiculo-toxic potential.
Use of social networking sites (SNSs) and its repercussions on sleep quality, psychosocial behavior, academic performance and circadian rhythm of humans – a brief review

ABSTRACT Social networking sites (SNSs) confer countless benefits to mankind through increased communication and connection between and among millions of people on the globe. Do the detrimental effects of SNSs outweigh its benefits? We have tried to answer this question through reviewing the relevant literature on the repercussions of use of SNSs on sleep quality, psychosocial behavior, academic performance and circadian rhythm in humans. Literature on the subject underscores the adverse effects of SNSs usage on sleep resulting in poor sleep quality, delayed sleep onset, shortening of sleep length, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), insomnia, apnea and nightmare. The students addicted to social media suffer from psychiatric distress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, procrastination and poor academic attainment. There is, however, a paucity of literature on the effects of overuse of SNSs on the functioning of circadian clocks in humans. It emerged that the adolescents and young adults are the most vulnerable to the ill effects of excessive use of the SNSs. We recommend that more researches on the effects of SNSs on human health should be carried out and effective awareness campaigns should be launched to educate the people about the darker side of the excessive use of SNSs.
The health challenges behind alcohol

Alcohol is connected with a number of physical and psychological conditions witnessed in primary care many of which remain unrecognised. In part this is because asking a patient is about their drinking is often seen as obtrusive and prying into personal life choices. This is in direct contrast to smoking. There is now a mounting body of international evidence (1) that if an individual is provided with information about their drinking they will make small changes that fit in with their lifestyle. In this article the following will be discussed and where appropriate brief recommendations about appropriate treatment and referral options will be suggested. a) Sensible drinking limits b) Harmful drinking c) Hazardous drinking d) Dependent drinking e) Drinking in Older People.
Generation Expansion Planning Considering the Rehabilitation of Aging Generating Units

Aging generating units can gradually lose their efficiency, reliability, and economic viability, and violate certified levels of carbon emission in power system operations. Retirement is traditionally considered a viable option for managing aging units within the generation expansion planning (GEP) studies; while, the rehabilitation of such units can also be economically beneficial to power system and even outperform other options considering certain planning and operation criteria. Rehabilitation procedure depends on many physical factors including generating unit types and locations, as well as financial, regulatory, and transmission network constraints. This paper presents an optimization model for GEP considering retirement and rehabilitation options for generating unit planning and operation. The proposed GEP problem uses the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) as a risk index for considering rehabilitation cost and load forecast uncertainties. In order to evaluate performance of the proposed method, the IEEE 24-bus and 118-bus systems are examined in various operating conditions and the results are analyzed.
Fano resonance induced fast to slow light in a hybrid semiconductor quantum dot and metal nanoparticle system

We theoretically demonstrate the Fano resonance and the conversion from fast to slow light in a hybrid semiconductor quantum dot (SQDs)-metal nanoparticle (MNPs) with cavity quantum electrodynamics treatment. The absorption spectra of the weak probe field exhibit a series of asymmetric Fano line shapes and their related optical propagation properties, such as fast and slow light effects, are investigated based on the hybrid system for suitable parametric regimes. Further, the transparency windows (i.e. the absorption dip approaches zero) in the probe absorption spectra are accompanied by the rapid steep dispersion of the Fano resonance profile, which promises the slow or fast light effect, and even tunable fast-to-slow light propagation (or vice versa) can be achieved by controlling different parameter regimes. Therefore the investigation may indicate promising applications in quantum information processing based on the hybrid SQD-MNP system.
The immunomodulatory effect 1,25 (OH)2 D3 on TLR 2 and TLR4 expression on monocytes of patients with type II diabetes mellitus

Background: Recent studies have shown the immunomodulatory effect of vitamin D3 through down-regulation of Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression in human monocytes. In this study, the effects of vitamin D treatment on TLR2 and TLR4 expression on monocytes derived from type 2 diabetes was investigated. Materials and Methods: To assess the influence of vitamin D3 on expression of TLR2 and TLR4 on monocytes from patients with type II diabetes, peripheral blood sample was taken of 30 patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by density gradient centrifuge and then monocytes were isolated from these cells with using the magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS). To investigate the effect of vitamin D3 on the expression of TLR2 and TLR4, monocytes were cultured in the presence of vitamin D3 (10 -9 M) for 48 hours. Then the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 was determined by Real-time PCR. Results: We found that vitamin D3 suppresses the mRNA expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in patients with type II diabetes. TLR2 and TLR4 expression in the patients exposed to vitamin D3 were significantly decreased in comparison with patients who were not treated with vitamin D3. Conclusion: It can be concluded that vitamin D3 supplements may be further analyzed as a therapeutic option by reducing TLR2 and TLR4 expression in patients with type II diabetes.

Diet, nutrition and physical activity in endometrial cancer survivors

Endometrial cancer survivors comprise a high-risk group for obesity-related comorbidities. Healthy eating and physical activity can lead to better health and well-being, but this population may experience difficulties adopting healthy lifestyle practices. Personalised behaviour change programmes that are feasible, acceptable, and cost-effective are needed. Using various methodologies, this doctoral research aimed to develop and pilot a healthy eating and physical activity program. Through a systematic literature review and meta-analysis, study 1 demonstrated preliminary evidence that obesity is positively associated with overall mortality. Expanding the review, study 2 indicated that a healthy lifestyle is positively associated with health-related quality of life. Study 3 primarily piloted the instruments and procedures for the trial. Study 4, using qualitative methodology, suggested that interventions should incorporate recommendations on managing late-treatment effects, and behaviour change techniques for cognitive, practical, and social barriers to healthy lifestyle changes. Based on this feedback, an evidence-based weight management programme was adapted using the intervention mapping systematic framework in study 5. Subsequently, the programme was piloted in a phase II, individually randomized, parallel, controlled, two-site, pilot clinical trial in study 6. Adult endometrial cancer survivors (n = 60) who had been diagnosed with endometrial cancer within the previous 3 years and were not on active treatment were assigned in a 1:1 ratio through minimisation to either the 8-week, group-based, behaviour-change programme with weekly 90-min sessions about healthy eating and physical activity or usual care. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 8 and 24 weeks from the baseline assessment. The intervention, which focused on self-monitoring, goal setting, and self-incentives, was feasible in terms of recruitment, adherence, and retention. It also showed promising effectiveness. The study results will inform the development of a randomised controlled trial to test if the programme can improve the health and quality of life of this population.
Effects of Varenicline on Cue-reactivity in Individuals with Concurrent Tobacco Dependence and Heavy Alcohol Use: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Alcohol and tobacco misuse and dependence are highly comorbid disorders. Varenicline alleviates symptoms of cigarette craving while preventing nicotine from binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, thereby reducing nicotine’s reinforcing effects. Recent studies have shown that varenicline decreased alcohol self-administration in animal models and in one human study of heavy-drinking smokers. AIMS: To assess the effect of two-week varenicline (0.5-2mg) vs. placebo administration on cue-induced craving for tobacco and alcohol in smokers with heavy alcohol use (n = 24). METHODS: Subjects participated in two study visits where nicotine and alcohol craving and withdrawal were assessed with self-report questionnaires under four conditions (abstinence/one cigarette/neutral cues/tobacco-alcohol cues). RESULTS: Two-week administration of varenicline reduced tobacco-alcohol cue-induced cigarette cravings and reduced emotionality aspects of alcohol craving after smoking a cigarette compared to abstinence in heavy-drinking smokers. CONCLUSION: It is possible that varenicline may have particular advantages as a smoking cessation aid in heavy drinkers.
Pediatric Endoscopy, Update 2020

Optimal management of pediatric endoscopy requires a multidisciplinary approach. In most hospitals, endoscopy in pediatric patients is performed by conventional gastroenterologists and only a few centers have specialized pediatric gastroenterologists. This is due to the fact that the number of pediatric gastroenterologists is limited and not all of them are experienced in endoscopic techniques. However, there are also some pediatric centers offering a high-quality and high-volume endoscopy service provided by very experienced pediatric gastroenterologists. Up to now, the literature on pediatric endoscopy is rather sparse. In this article, we describe current knowledge and practice of endoscopic procedures in pediatric patients, which should be relevant for both the adult and pediatric gastroenterologists.
Progress in climate modeling of precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau

Given the controversy regarding the ‘Monsoon Melee’, there is a need for more accurate Tibetan Plateau (TP) climate modeling that clarifies its role in monsoon variations [1]. Because of the unique geographical characteristics of the region, TP climate modeling faces many challenges. One of the largest modeling biases is the overestimation of precipitation along the southern slopes of the TP, which influences the simulation of the monsoon circulation through the teleconnection associated with the local latent heat flux.

Commercial Applications of Plant Pigments

Naturally occurring pigments in plants are responsible for giving eye capturing colors to them. The major groups of plant pigments like chlorophylls, carotenoids, betalains and flavonoids not only impart colors which attract pollinators but also have beneficial health effects when consumed in diet. Plant pigments have been used as impeccable natural source of color. A remarkable work has been done to understand the chemical and technological aspects of natural plant pigments, mainly anthocyanins, betalains, chlorophylls, and carotenoids. These plant pigments are related to a broad spectrum of healthpromoting benefits. These natural compounds are also used as indispensable components in many pharmaceutical, medicinal and cosmetic product manufacturing industries. The wide range of biological usage of these pigmentsdemand further confirmation by performing cell culture, animal model research supported by human studies.

Depending on the disease and the plant type, adequate algorithms with the optimum results were proposed. It can be concluded that, it is possible to detect leaf diseases, thereby benefitting the farmer directly. Moreover, a timely diagnosis would result in an effective treatment of the disease, thus avoiding the risk of any economic loss as result.
Quantitative assessment of capabilities of colour models for pen ink discrimination in handwritten documents

The addition of new words in handwritten documents such as bank cheques, bills, and notes is considered as common crime. Such immoral activities on handwritten documents have a bad effect on the victim in terms of mental and financial loss. For facilitating an impartial judicial process, it is important to differentiate between the used pen inks. Earlier, image processing and pattern recognition-based techniques for pen ink differentiation gained attention among researchers due to their non-destructive nature. Existing techniques use various colour models to represent the colour of pen inks. Thus, it is crucial to assess the capabilities of various colour models for differentiating pen inks in handwritten documents. In this paper, we propose a histogram distance based quantitative assessment technique for suitable colour model identification for differentiating pen inks. Seven blue and seven black pen ink samples are acquired on 112 cheque leaves. The k-means binarisation is used to identify pen ink pixels. Y C b C r colour model has been identified as the best colour model for this task. The statistical features of the ink colours in the identified colour model representation are extracted and a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier validates the capability of the identified colour model for pen ink discrimination.
On the Intestinal Flora of Bottle-Fed Infant

In order to obtain current information about the intestinal flora of bottle -fed infants , f eces from 30 breast-fed infants and 43 bottle-fed infants , including 3 infants of low bi rth weights, were examined by the method of Mitsuoka . The frequency of occurrence and total number of bifidobacteria in bottle-fed infants were nearly equal to those of b reast-fed infants. The number of enterobacteriaceae , streptococci, and anaerobes other than bifidobacteria were significantly higher in bottle -fed infants than in breastfed infants. As for Bifidobacterium species, there was little difference between bottlefed and breast-fed infants in average counts of all the species detected , but the frequency of occurrence of Bifidobacterium bifidum in bottle-fed infants was less than in brea st-fed i nfants. The appearance of bifidobacteria in low birth weight bottle -fed infants was more delayed than that in normal bottle-fed infants , and their species composition was also simple, consisting of two species of bifidobacteria: B . breve plus B. bifidum, or B . b reve plus B. adolescentis.
Die Arzneibeziehung zwischen Causticum und Arsenicum album

Zusammenfassung Anhand der Behandlung einer Patientin mit Parkinson-Syndrom und gastrointestinalen Störungen wird die Arzneibeziehung zwischen Causticum und Arsenicum album dargestellt. Auf dieser Basis folgen allgemeine Überlegungen zur Bedeutung von Arzneibeziehungen. In der Literatur finden sich keine klaren Begriffsdefinitionen auf diesem Gebiet. Zwischenmittel sind häufig dann angezeigt, wenn sich chronische Infektionskrankheiten oder deren Folgezustände durch für sie typische Symptome bemerkbar machen. Möglicherweise ist im vorliegenden Fall Arsenicum album als spezifisches Mittel zur Behandlung eines spezifischen pathologischen Darmkeimes zu sehen. Jüngere Erkenntnisse weisen auf einen kausalen Zusammenhang zwischen intestinaler Dysbiose und der Entwicklung eines Parkinson-Syndroms hin.
