Sinostosis húmero-radio-cubital: a propósito de un caso

Se presenta aparentemente el primer caso en la literatura mundial de Sinostosis Húmero-Radio-Cubital unilateral, no asociado a ninguna entidad patológica congénita, observando un crecimiento y desarrollo del resto del organismo dentro de parámetros normales. Siendo este un miembro superior funcional se decide no aplicar ningún tratamiento.We report the first case in the world's literature of unilateral Húmero-Radio-Ulnar Synostosis, not associated to other congenital pathology entity; we observed a normal growth and development of the rest of the body; due to be a funtional upper lim b we decided not give treatment

Effect of Aspirin on Cell Growth of Human MG-63 Osteosarcoma Line

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in bone tissue repair treatment for their pharmacological action. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of aspirin, on osteoblast growth, using MG63 cell line as osteoblast model. MTT spectrophotometry results showed that 20, 100, and 1000 μM aspirin doses have an inhibitory effect on growth. Cell cycle analysis revealed that aspirin doses of 100 and 1000 μM arrest the cell cycle in phase GO/G1. Parallel apoptosis/necrosis studies showed no changes in comparison to control cells after treatment with 1 or 10 μM aspirin but a significantly increased percentage of cells in apoptosis at doses of 20, 100, and 1000 μM. We highlight that treatment of osteoblast-like cells with 1000 μM aspirin increased not only the percentage of cells in apoptosis but also the percentage of necrotic cells, which was not observed in aspirin treatments at lower doses

Fast-ion redistribution and loss due to edge perturbations in the ASDEX Upgrade, DIII-D and KSTAR tokamaks

The impact of edge localized modes (ELMs) and externally applied resonant and non-resonant magnetic perturbations (MPs) on fast-ion confinement/transport have been investigated in the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), DIII-D and KSTAR tokamaks. Two phases with respect to the ELM cycle can be clearly distinguished in ELM-induced fast-ion losses. Inter-ELM losses are characterized by a coherent modulation of the plasma density around the separatrix while intra-ELM losses appear as well-defined bursts. In high collisionality plasmas with mitigated ELMs, externally applied MPs have little effect on kinetic profiles, including fast-ions, while a strong impact on kinetic profiles is observed in low-collisionality, low q95 plasmas with resonant and non-resonant MPs. In low-collisionality H-mode plasmas, the large fast-ion filaments observed during ELMs are replaced by a loss of fast-ions with a broad-band frequency and an amplitude of up to an order of magnitude higher than the neutral beam injection prompt loss signal without MPs. A clear synergy in the overall fast-ion transport is observed between MPs and neoclassical tearing modes. Measured fast-ion losses are typically on banana orbits that explore the entire pedestal/scrape-off layer. The fast-ion response to externally applied MPs presented here may be of general interest for the community to better understand the MP field penetration and overall plasma response.Marie Curie FP7 Integration PCIG11-GA2012-321455Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad RYC-2011-09152, ENE2012-31087US Department of Energy DE-FC02-04ER54698, SC-G903402, DEFG02- 04ER54761, DE-AC02-09CH11466, DE-FG02- 08ER54984NRF Korea 2009-008201

Hernia de Spiegel: presentación de un caso

Fundamento: La hernia de Spiegel es un defecto de la pared abdominal generalmente mal diagnosticado; en la experiencia de los cirujanos, las hernias de la pared abdominal constituyen una enfermedad cuyo diagnóstico es esencialmente clínico. Sin embargo, la hernia de Spiegel por su infrecuente presentación (0.1 - 2 %) pasa fácilmente inadvertida. Objetivo: Describir el caso de un paciente con una hernia de Spiegel. Presentación del caso: En este artículo presentamos un paciente masculino de 37 años que fue hospitalizado por presentar dolor abdominal de un mes y medio de evolución, al que se le diagnosticó una hernia de Spiegel. Conclusiones: Por las dificultades diagnósticas que presenta esta enfermedad es importante realizar una correcta anamnesis y examen físico, sin dejar de lado estudios de imagen. El tratamiento definitivo de la hernia de Spiegel es el quirúrgico

Studies on combining ability in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

ArticleThe present study was done seven elite tomato lines (Solamun lycopersicum L.) of determinate and indeterminate growth with good yield potential and good combining ability, using diallel fashion without reciprocals to produce 21 F1s. General combining ability (GCA) and Specific combining ability (SCA) analysis were conducted, with Diallel-SAS, assessing six yield and component traits. Results showed highly significant differences (p ≤ 0.01) among genotypes, as well as in GCA and SCA effects in all the characteristics that was assessed, with the exception of Days to First Cut. The results revealed that variance contribution to the yield attributed to the crossings had more non-additive effects (SCA) than additive effects (GCA). Furthermore, Line D4 had the greatest effect on yield in terms of GCA, as well in AFW (Average Fruit Weight), NFP (Number of Fruits per Plant) and PD (Polar Diameter) followed by D3 and K3. These lines can be used as donor parent in future tomato-breeding program. Hybrids K3×D4, R1×Y53, D3×IR13 and F3×Y53 had the highest level of SCA, with average yields of 93 t ha-1. These potential hybrids could be exploited at commercial level after critical testing

He had a satisfactory evolution. It was decided to report the case for being an uncommon entity

The mental and subjective skin: Emotion, empathy, feelings and thermography

[EN]We applied thermography to investigate the cognitive neuropsychology of emotions, using it as a somatic marker of subjective experience during emotional tasks. We obtained results that showed significant correlations between changes in facial temperature and mental set. The main result was the change in the temperature of the nose, which tended to decrease with negative valence stimuli but to increase with positive emotions and arousal patterns. However, temperature change was identified not only in the nose, but also in the forehead, the oro-facial area, the cheeks and in the face taken as a whole. Nevertheless, thermic facial changes, mostly nasal temperature changes, correlated positively with participants’ empathy scores and their performance. We found that temperature changes in the face may reveal maps of bodily sensations associated with different emotions and feelings like love
