Expression of Enzymes Associated with Prostaglandin Synthesis in Equine Conceptuses by Sven Budik, Ingrid Walter, Marie-Christine Leitner, Reinhard Ertl, Christine Aurich

“…Enzyme expression was analyzed via quantitative RT-PCR in total RNA samples of equine conceptuses collected on days 10 (n = 5), 12 (n = 12), 14 (n = 5) and 16 (n = 7) from healthy mares. Relative abundance of cyclooxygenase (<i>COX</i>)-2 mRNA was higher (<i>p</i> < 0.05) than of <i>COX</i>-1 irrespective of conceptus age and for phospholipase A2 on day 16 in comparison to all other days (<i>p</i> < 0.01). …”

Química de las aguas subterráneas y su importancia desde el punto de vista de potabilidad e higiene by Carlos l. Delgado

“…La historia geológica misma abunda en ejemplos donde el agua ha desempeñado funciones creadoras o de destrucción; formas caprichosas de la corteza terrestre, maravillas naturales labradas en conexión con los movimientos de la misma corteza, por mares antiguos que avanzaron hacia los continentes y que luego retrocedieron dejando sus sedimentos. …”

Genetic Parameters of Effort and Recovery in Sport Horses Assessed with Infrared Thermography by Ester Bartolomé, Davinia Isabel Perdomo-González, María José Sánchez-Guerrero, Mercedes Valera

“…Differences in variables due to genetic line and sex effects were found, showing that, regardless of the genetic line, stallions tended to recover better than mares after the sport test developed. High positive intra-class correlations (<i>p</i> < 0.001) were found between EP and RP for both fixed effects, so that the higher the EP, the higher the RP. …”

Resistencia antibiótica: el papel del hombre, los animales y el medio ambiente by RONIELD ELIAS FERNANDEZ RODRIGUEZ, HERNANDO BOLIVAR-ANILLO, CARLOS HOYOS TURCIOS, LAURA CARRILLO GARCIA, MARIA SERRANO HERNANDEZ, EZZANAD ABDELLAH

“…Los microorganismos, especialmente las bacterias, están distribuidos por todo el mundo, desde el suelo, los mares y los ríos hasta el sistema digestivo de los animales y los seres humanos; por lo tanto, las bacterias mantienen una interacción constante con los compuestos utilizados por los seres humanos y los animales como los antibióticos, y con otros microorganismos que pueden ser de la misma especie o de diferentes géneros taxonómicos; esta interacción podría dar lugar a una presión selectiva sobre las bacterias en el medio ambiente y promover el intercambio de material genético, lo que llevaría a una propagación global de la resistencia a los antibióticos y a una afectación mundial de la salud. …”

Força de Coriolis e as grandes navegações do século XV by C. Chesman, M. Cavalcanti-Neto, C.B.S. Furtado

“…Esse é o caminho que a força de Coriolis cria para esse tipo de embarcação nas viagens pelos mares. Apresentamos também a análise das trajetórias das quatro primeiras grandes navegações, todas corroboram que essa força foi primordial para o achamento do continente americano, do Cabo da Boa Esperança, do Brasil, e do caminho para a Índia.…”

Clinical evaluation of the Immulite® 1000 chemiluminescent immunoassay for measurement of equine serum insulin by Yun Young Go, Nicole W. Hazard, Udeni B. R. Balasuriya, Anna M. Chapman, Nanette S. Fitton, Ákos Kenéz, Frank M. Andrews

“…Thus, the analytical and clinical performance of Immulite® 1000 CLIA in terms of precision (intra- and inter-assay coefficient of variance, CV) and recovery upon dilution were evaluated and compared with radioimmunoassay (RIA), which has been previously validated for use in horses.Material and methodsArchived serum samples (n = 106) from six Quarter horse mares enrolled in the glucose phase of a Frequently Sampled Insulin and Glucose Test (FSIGT) study were used to measure blood insulin.ResultsThe Immulite® 1000 CLIA had good precision with acceptable intra- and inter-assay CVs, adequate recovery on dilution, and a strong correlation with the RIA (r = 0.974, P &lt; 0.0001), with constant bias resulting in consistently lower values.DiscussionOn this basis, the Immulite® 1000 Insulin Assay is valid for measuring equine serum insulin for diagnostic and monitoring purposes when cut values are appropriately adjusted.…”

Efectes de la suburbanització i la immigració internacional en l’evolució recent de la fecunditat a Catalunya: un estudi territorial a escala local by Cristina López Villanueva, Fernando Gil-Alonso, Jordi Bayona i Carrasco, Jenniffer Thiers

“…Com a possibles hipòtesis explicatives s’han considerat la fecunditat diferencial segons la nacionalitat de les mares i l’impacte de les migracions internes. Els resultats mostren que les diferències de fecunditat observades en l’àmbit municipal no responen tant a les diferències entre espanyoles i estrangeres ni al pes de la població estrangera a cada municipi, com a l’arribada de migrants interns (parelles joves en edat reproductiva) i al percentatge de població d’origen africà. …”
