Diagnóstico por imagen de la enfermedad discal intervertebral

El estudio de la columna vertebral en el perro ha estado vinculado históricamente al uso de la radiología que, pese a la aparición de otros sistemas de diagnóstico más sofisticados como la tomografía axial computerizada (TAC) y la resonancia magnética (RM), sigue siendo hoy en día el procedimiento más utilizado en el diagnóstico de algunas patologías espinales, como la enfermedad discal intervertebral.

Assessment, Design and Implementation of a Private Cloud for MapReduce Applications

[Abstract] Scientific computation and data intensive analyses are ever more frequent. On the one hand, the MapReduce programming model has gained a lot of attention for its applicability in large parallel data analyses and Big Data applications. On the other hand, Cloud computing seems to be increasingly attractive in solving these computing problems that demand a lot of resources. This paper explores the potential symbiosis between MapReduce and Cloud Computing, in order to create a robust and scalable environment to execute MapReduce workflows regardless of the underlaying infrastructure. The main goal of this work is to provide an easy-to-install interface, so as non-expert scientists can deploy a suitable testbed for their MapReduce experiments on local resources of their institution. Testing cases were performed in order to evaluate the required time for the whole executing process on a real cluster

Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges as manifestation of pneumococcal meningoencephalitis

Periodic Lateralized Epileptiform Discharges (PLEDs) are usually seen in the context of destructive structural lesions of the cortex, more frequently in acute ischemic stroke and less common in tumours and meningoencephalitis, specially herpes simplex virus. Its origin and prognosis are uncertain but it is known that PLEDs are linked to epilectic seizures, including status epilepticus

Lucha frente a la Varroosis en colmenas Layens

111 páginas, 89 figuras, 17 tablas . -- Con la colaboración de: Mª Sonia Rodríguez Cruz, José Manuel Ordax de Castro, Raquel Arroyo Palomares, Yolanda Picó García, Juan Manuel Andrés Sánchez, Francisco Javier Fernández Santiago, Miguel Ángel Santos Oliva, Fernando Sánchez-Montejo Álvarez y Aurelio Pérez Sánchez.Actualmente la varroosis es el principal problema de la apicultura a nivel sanitario, tratándose de la enfermedad de las colonias de abejas más importante, y la única que obliga a realizar un tratamiento sistemático de la colmena para que los efectos del parásito no influyan negativamente en el rendimiento o incluso la viabilidad de la misma. Como consecuencia de la importancia de la actividad apícola en Castilla y León y dada la problemática sanitaria a la que se enfrenta el sector apícola, se justifica perfectamente la ejecución de un estudio de lucha frente a la varroosis, realizado en colmena Layens, colmena utilizada por el 80% de los apicultores españoles y mayoritaria en Salamanca. El estudio se ha ejecutado en esta provincia, que dispone del mayor número de apicultores profesionales y de colmenas y persigue que los resultados permitan a los apicultores mejorar la lucha contra esta parasitosis en sus explotaciones apícolas y mantener su viabilidad.Diputación de Salamanca.

Testing variations of methodological characteristics in the 5-0-5 test: impact of the linear sprint on change-of-direction deficit in adult male soccer players

Purpose. The study compared the change-of-direction deficit (CODD) using the first 10-m sprint of a 40-m sprint test (CODDoriginal), the 10-m time that precedes the 5-0-5 test (CODD5-0-5start), and the best 10-m split of a 40-m sprint test (CODDbest). Methods. A cross-sectional study design was applied. Twenty elite male soccer players (age: 21.6 ± 2.0 years; experience: 8.7 ± 2.3 years; body mass: 73.2 ± 6.1 kg; stature: 174.8 ± 4.5 cm) voluntarily participated in this study. They were assessed in the following tests: (i) 40-m linear sprint test and (ii) 5-0-5 test with a pre-planned 180° change-of-direction (COD) (left and right sides). CODD for both sides was calculated as the difference between average 5-0-5 and CODDoriginal, COODbest, and CODD5-0-5start. Results. The time over 10 m during the 30–40-m split of a 40-m sprint test was significantly shorter than the first 10 m of the same sprint test (best times: p 0.999, d = 0.133; average times: p = 0.990, d = 0.047). Comparisons of CODD revealed significant differences between approaches (best times: F = 201.7, p 0.05). Conclusions. CODD calculated with the first 10 m and the best 10 m of a sprint test was significantly different; similarities existed between the initial 10 m of a 40-m sprint test and the 5-0-5 test. Therefore, to save time and resources, practitioners could use the first 10-m acceleration phase of the 5-0-5 since no significant differences were found between the initial 10 m of a linear sprint test
