Determinants of respirable crystalline silica exposure among stoneworkers involved in stone restoration work
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-08-31)
Objectives: Crystalline silica occurs as a significant component of many traditional materials used in restoration stonework, and stoneworkers who work with these materials are potentially exposed to stone dust containing ...
Therapeutic use of compression stockings for orthostatic hypotension: an assessment of patient and physician perspectives and practices
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-10-24)
Background: elastic compression stockings (ECS) can be used as a non-pharmacological therapeutic option for older patients with orthostatic hypotension (OH). We aimed to investigate the practices and views of patients and ...
Antimicrobial susceptibility of flavobacterium psychrophilum from chilean salmon farms and their epidemiological cut-off values using agar dilution and disk diffusion methods
(Frontiers Media SA, 2016-11-25)
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the most important bacterial pathogen for freshwater farmed salmonids in Chile. The aims of this study were to determine the susceptibility to antimicrobials used in fish farming of Chilean ...
Perk-dependent repression of mir-106b-25 cluster is required for er stress-induced apoptosis
(Springer Nature, 2012-06-01)
Activation of the unfolded protein response sensor PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (Perk) attenuates endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress levels. Conversantly, if the damage is too severe and ER function cannot be ...
Antioxidant and cytoprotective activities of fucus spiralis seaweed on a human cell in vitro model
(MDPI AG, 2017-01-29)
Antioxidants play an important role as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) chelating agents and, therefore, the screening for potent antioxidants from natural sources as potential protective agents is of great relevance. The ...

The evidence of associations between prion protein genotype and production, reproduction, and health traits in sheep
(EDP Sciences, 2008-02-15)
The EU Commission issued a regulation in 2003, which requires all member states to implement a breeding programme for resistance to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in sheep by selecting for specific alleles of ...
Mutsβ and histone deacetylase complexes promote expansions of trinucleotide repeats in human cells
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-08-30)
Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansions cause at least 17 heritable neurological diseases, including Huntington's disease. Expansions are thought to arise from abnormal processing of TNR DNA by specific trans-acting proteins. ...
