A Bayesian semi-parametric approach to the ordinal calibration problem
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)We introduce a semi-parametric Bayesian approach based on skewed Dirichlet processes priors for location parameters in the ordinal calibration problem. This approach allows the modeling of asymmetrical error distributions. ... -
A frameshift insertion in the cone cyclic nucleotide gated cation channel causes complete achromatopsia in a consanguineous family a rural isolate
(2002)Complete achromatopsia is genetically heterogeneous and segregates with mutations in CNGA3 or CNGB3 genes, which respectively encode for α- and β-subunits of the cyclic-nucleotide-gated (CNG) cation channel expressed in ... -
A Nonautochthonous US Strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Isolated from Chesapeake Bay Oysters Caused the Outbreak in Maryland in 2010
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2016)In the summer of 2010, Vibrio parahaemolyticus caused an outbreak in Maryland linked to the consumption of oysters. Strains isolated from both stool and oyster samples were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ... -
A pharmacologically potentiated stress during lactation alters the hepatic endocannabinoid system in adult mice: association with development of insulin resistance
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2017) -
A restricted spectrum of missense KMT2D variants cause a multiple malformations disorder distinct from Kabuki syndrome
(Nature, 2020)Purpose To investigate if specific exon 38 or 39 KMT2D missense variants (MVs) cause a condition distinct from Kabuki syndrome type 1 (KS1). Methods Multiple individuals, with MVs in exons 38 or 39 of KMT2D that encode a ... -
Absorption of Iron from Ferritin Is Independent of Heme Iron and Ferrous Salts in Women and Rat Intestinal Segments
(AMER SOC NUTRITION, 2012-03)Ferritin iron from food is readily bioavailable to humans and has the potential for treating iron deficiency. Whether ferritin iron absorption is mechanistically different from iron absorption from small iron complexes/salts ... -
Academically oriented activity breaks for first-grade chilean students: development and pilot testing effectiveness
(Sage, 2020)We developed and pilot tested the effectiveness of a physically active academic program, Active Breaks (AB), whose objective is to increase school time moderate/vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among first graders, through ... -
Accuracy of a semi-quantitative ultrasound method to determine liver fat infiltration in early adulthood
(MDPI, 2020)An inexpensive and simple method to determine non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the abdominal ultrasound, but there are still doubts about its accuracy. We assessed the precision of a semi-quantitative ultrasound ... -
Aceites vegetales de uso frecuente en Sudamérica: características y propiedades
(Aula Médica Ediciones, 2015)El consumo de aceites vegetales se ha incrementado en las últimas décadas en nuestra sociedad y son parte importante de la dieta en todo el mundo. Sudamérica es un gran productor de diferentes aceites vegetales. La ... -
Acetobacter strains isolated during the acetification of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) wine
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2013-09)Highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) are known to have positive health benefits. The production of blueberry vinegar is one method to preserve this seasonal fruit and allow extended consumption. In this study, ... -
Acidos grasos con isomeria trans I. Su origen y los efectos en la salud humana
(2008-09)It has been observed that foods with similar amount of starch can generate different glycemic responses. The evidence of a direct link between saturated fat consumption and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases has ... -
Acute Copper and Ascorbic Acid Supplementation Inhibits Non-heme Iron Absorption in Humans
(Humana Press, 2016)The objective of the study is to determine the effect of copper (Cu) plus the reducing agent ascorbic acid (AA) on the absorption of non-heme iron (Fe). Experimental study with block design in which each subject was his ... -
Acute inhibition of iron absorption by zinc
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD., 2007-05)Iron and zinc deficiencies are the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide. Combined zinc and iron supplementation is one of the strategies used to prevent these deficiencies. Zinc has an inhibitory effect on iron ... -
Adipogenic effect of calcium sensing receptor activation
(Springer, 2013)We established that human adipose cells and the human adipose cell line LS14 express the calciumsensing receptor (CaSR) and that its activation induces inflammatory cytokine production. Also, its expression is enhanced ... -
Adiposidad visceral y su asociación con lípidos séricos e insulinemia en adolescentes obesas
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2007-03)Increased visceral or abdominal adipose tissue in children and adults is strongly associated with metabolic and a variety of chronic diseases. Aim: To study the association between visceral or external body measurements ... -
Administration of High Doses of Copper to Capuchin Monkeys Does Not Cause Liver Damage but Induces Transcriptional Activation of Hepatic Proliferative Responses1–3
(American Society for Nutrition, 2012)Liver cells respond to copper loading upregulating protective mechanisms. However, to date, except for liver content, there are no good indicators that identify individuals with excess liver copper. We hypothesized that ... -
Adolescent Metabolic Syndrome Risk Is Increased with Higher Infancy Weight Gain and Decreased with Longer Breast Feeding
(2012)Background. Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is increasing in pediatric age groups worldwide. Meeting the criteria for the metabolic syndrome puts children at risk for later cardiovascular and metabolic disease. ... -
Adolescent oomnternalizing, externalizing, and social problems following iron deficiency at 12–18 months: the role of maternal responsiveness
(Wiley, 2020)This study tested whether maternal responsiveness moderated or mediated pathways from iron deficiency (ID) at 12-18 months to adolescent behavior problems. Participants were part of a large Chilean cohort (N = 933). Iron ...
