[EN] Although the surface electroenterogram (EEnG) is a weak signal contaminated by strong physiological interference, such as ECG and respiration, abdominal surface recordings of the EEnG could provide a non-invasive ...
[EN] Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in a variety of epithelial malignancies including lung cancer. A soluble fragment of the EGFR extracellular domain (sEGFR) can be detected in the ...
[EN] This paper aims at reviewing the current genetic knowledge of the issues related to the efficient use of bucks in artificial insemination (AI). Differences between lines have been found relevant in semen production ...

An MS-based metabolomics strategy including variable selection and PLSDA analysis has been assessed as a tool to discriminate between non-steatotic and steatotic human liver profiles. Different chemometric approaches for ...
[EN] Background: Platinum doublets are standard chemotherapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to assess whether neutropenia is: (1) an indicator for treatment efficacy, or (2) ...

The problem of classifying short atrial fibrillatory segments in ambulatory ECG recordings as being either paroxysmal or persistent is addressed by investigating a robust approach to signal characterization. The method ...
Introduction: The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of ligands and receptors (VEGFR) play an important role in tumor angiogenesis. Increased expression of angiogenic factors in tumors or in blood is associated ...
Previous studies have indicated that 15N enrichment of solid-associated bacteria (SAB) may be predicted from the same value in liquid-associated bacteria (LAB). The aims of this study were to confirm this and to measure ...
[EN] We report a study designed to investigate consumers' crossmodal associations between the color of packaging and flavor varieties in crisps (potato chips). This product category was chosen because of the long-established ...

Exploring the genetics of the efficiency of fertile AI dose production in rabbits
The general aim of this thesis has been to analyse sources of variation for some of the most important components of fertile artificial ...
Background: This study sought to determine pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP), BNP, N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) and GATA-4 in the same cardiac tissue, the correlation among them, and the influence of ischemic etiology ...

The objective of this research was assess the male contribution to the number of implanted embryos (IE) and embryo survival (ES) estimated as the rate of variance due to male genetic and permanent environmental effects ...
Variance components of sperm production traits (volume in ml, V; concentration in ×10 6 sperm/ml, CN; sperm production in ×10 6 sperm, PROD) were estimated in a paternal line of rabbit selected for 25 generations based on ...

Prenatal death can occur due to several genetic and environmental factors which alter normal embryo development, maternal environment to support normal fertilisation, development of embryos, placenta and foetus, or affect ...
Background: Hypersensitivity IgE-mediated reactions to quinolones are not easy to diagnose, with skin testing inducing false positive results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the in vitro-specific IgE response in ...
[EN] We investigate for the first time the influence of heart failure (HF) on nucleolar organization and proteins in patients with ischemic (ICM) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). A total of 71 human hearts from ICM (n= 38) ...
