IgA and IgG antitransglutaminase 2 antibodies in the diagnosis of celiac disease
(Science and Education Publishing, 2017)Screening for celiac disease (CD) dramatically improved when techniques able to measure blood autoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase 2 (TTG) were developed. Although typically increased in CD, these antibodies are ... -

Fine flounder (Paralichthys adspersus) microbiome showed important differences between wild and reared specimens
(Frontiers Media, 2017)The intestinal microbiota is involved in a wide range of biological processes that benefit the host, including providing nutrition and modulating the immune system. Fine flounder (Paralichthys adspersus) is a flatfish of ... -
Bone metabolism in children with epidermolysis bullosa
(Mosby Elsevier, 2002)We evaluated bone mineral density, vitamin D status, and biochemical markers of bone turnover in seven children with epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Four had osteopenia (Z score, -1.5) and four 25(OH) vitamin D <34 nmol/L ... -
Caracterización de spots publicitarios de restaurantes en la televisión chilena antes de la implementación de la ley 20.606 (período abril- mayo 2016)
(Universidad de Chile, 2018-08)Introducción: Se ha sugerido que la publicidad de alimentos induce al mayor consumo de éstos por los niños, contribuyendo a una dieta poco saludable, y al desarrollo de obesidad y enfermedades crónicas. La televisión ha ... -
Numerical heat transfer during Herschel–Bulkley fluid natural convection by CVFEM
(Edizioni ETS, 2018)Numerical prediction of heat transfer by natural convection of a Herschel-Bulkley non-Newtonian fluid inside a square cavity has been computationally analyzed. Unsteady 2D fluid mechanics and heat transfer were described ... -
Microbial preparations (probiotics) for the prevention of Clostridium difficile infection in adults and children: an individual patient data meta-analysis of 6,851 participants
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-07)OBJECTIVE. To determine whether probiotic prophylaxes reduce the odds of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in adults and children. DESIGN. Individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis of randomized controlled ... -
Chile's 2014 sugar-sweetened beverage tax and changes in prices and purchases of sugar-sweetened beverages: An observational study in an urban environment
(Public Library Science, 2018)Background On October 1, 2014, the Chilean government modified its previous sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax, increasing the tax rate from 13% to 18% on industrialized beverages with high levels of sugar (H-SSBs) ... -
Maximal expiratory pressure predicts mortality in patients hospitalized in medical and surgical wards
(Arán Ediciones, 2018-06)Background: the prognostic value of maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures on functional capacity and mortality of hospitalized patients are not well established. Aim: to evaluate the prognostic value of respiratory ... -
Percepción de escolares chilenos de distinto nivel socioeconómico sobre la regulación de la publicidad de alimentos
(Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición, 2018-03)El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la percepción de escolares de 8 a 12 años, de ambos sexos, distinto nivel socioeconómico (NSE) y estado nutricional, sobre la regulación de la publicidad de alimentos y bebidas azucaradas. ... -
Wake-up time in adolescence relates to overweight risk in early adulthood
(Elsevier, 2017)The shift toward later sleep onset and wake-up times in adolescence mismatch with unmodified school start times, resulting in insufficient sleep amount. This context might be related to higher body mass index (BMI). ... -
Cognitive executive functions and sleep-wake cycle (swc) patterns in sample of chilean adolescents
(Elsevier, 2017)In Chile, obesity has quadrupled their prevalence in childhood and adolescence, becoming the most relevant nutritional disease for this age-range (64,5% of the population) in the last 20 years). Some studies have shown ... -
Photographic methods for measuring packaged food and beverage products in supermarkets
(Oxford University Press, 2017)Background: The global obesity pandemic and rates of nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have increased worldwide, especially in the Latin American and Caribbean region. In an attempt to control this obesity ... -
Effects of high pressure treatment on physicochemical quality of pre- and post-rigor palm ruff (Seriolella Violacea) fillets
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Fish and fish products are characterized for having a short shelf life. Nonthermal processing techniques such as high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) have increasingly been employed to extend shelf life of food products. The ... -
Inter-session reliability of short-interval intracortical inhibition measured by threshold tracking TMS
(Elsevier, 2018)Paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) using fixed test stimuli suffers from marked variability of the motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude. Threshold tracking TMS (TT-TMS) was introduced to overcome this ... -
Calcium-sensing receptor activates the NLRP3 inflammasome in LS14 preadipocytes mediated by ERK1/2 signaling
(Wiley, 2018)The study of the mechanisms that trigger inflammation in adipose tissue is key to understanding and preventing the cardiometabolic consequences of obesity. We have proposed a model where activation of the G protein-coupled ...
