103 Atypical Progressive Bulbar Palsy presenting with Dropped Head
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-04-01)Introduction: Typical amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) presents on neurological examination with specific signs of upper and lower motor neuron degeneration (Brooks et al, 1995), which can account for 85% of patients ... -
A 14‐ka record of dust input and phytoplankton regime changes in the subtropical NE pacific: oceanic and terrestrial processes linked by teleconnections at suborbital scales
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)We study shifts in phytoplankton proxies linked to terrigenous inputs and teleconnections in a core from Soledad Basin, Gulf of Ulloa, NW Mexico, spanning the end of the deglaciation and the Holocene. We used biogenic opal ... -
A cluster-randomized controlled trial to reduce diarrheal disease and dengue entomological risk factors in rural primary schools in Colombia
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Background As many neglected tropical diseases are co-endemic and have common risk factors, integrated control can efficiently reduce disease burden and relieve resource-strained public health budgets. Diarrheal diseases ... -
A comprehensive analysis of factors related to carmustine/bevacizumab response in recurrent glioblastoma
(Springer, 2019)Purpose Patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) have a poor prognosis, with survival ranging from 25 to 40 weeks. Antiangiogenic agents are widely used, showing a variable response. In this study, we explored the efcacy ... -
A conceptual definition of vocational rehabilitation based on the ICF: building a shared global model
(Springer Link, 2011-02)Background The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a conceptual framework and classification system by the World Health Organization (WHO) to understand functioning. The objective ... -
A cross-cultural study of sex-typicality and averageness: Correlation between frontal and lateral measures of human faces.
(Wiley, 2018)Objectives Facial averageness and sexual dimorphism are extensively studied attractiveness markers, which are viewed as possible indicators of biological quality. Both are complex morphological traits, and both can be ... -
A cross-sectional survey of Aedes aegypti immature abundance in urban and rural household containers in central Colombia
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background Aedes aegypti, the major vector of dengue, breeds in domestic water containers. The development of immature mosquitoes in such containers is influenced by various environmental, ecological and socioeconomic ... -
A discrete epidemic model for bovine babesiosis disease and tick populations
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017)In this paper, we provide and study a discrete model for the transmission of Babesiosis disease in bovine and tick populations. This model supposes a discretization of the continuous-time model developed by us previously. ... -

A Green's function approach to topological insulator junctions with magnetic and superconducting regions
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2020-09-01)This work presents a Green’s function approach, originally implemented in graphene with well-defined edges, to the surface of a strong 3D Topological Insulator (TI) with a sequence of proximitizedsuperconducting (S) and ... -
A liaF codon deletion abolishes daptomycin bactericidal activity against vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecalis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-06)The genetic bases for antibiotic tolerance are obscure. Daptomycin (DAP) is a lipopeptide antibiotic with bactericidal activity against enterococci. Using time-kill assays, we provide evidence for the first time that a ... -
A liar deletion restores susceptibility to daptomycin and antimicrobial peptides in multidrug-resistant enterococcus faecalis
(Oxford University Press, 2015-04-15)Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic that is used clinically against many gram-positive bacterial pathogens and is considered a key frontline bactericidal antibiotic to treat multidrug-resistant enterococci. Emergence ... -
A management algorithm for patients with intracranial pressure monitoring: the Seattle International Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Consensus Conference (SIBICC)
(Springer, 2019)Abstract Background: Management algorithms for adult severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) were omitted in later editions of the Brain Trauma Foundation’s sTBI Management Guidelines, as they were not evidence-based. Methods: ... -
A matter of style? testing the moderating effect of driving styles on the relationship between job strain and work-related crashes of professional drivers
(Elsevier, 2020-07-01)Different empirical studies suggest that both job strain and driving styles are significant contributors to the work-related traffic crashes suffered by professional drivers. Nevertheless, the current evidence falls ... -
A modified lateral canthal approach for the treatment of zygomatic complex fractures
(Elsevier, 2014-08)We present a modification of the classic lateral canthal approach by means of which the anatomy of the lateral palpebral edges will remain unscathed, with the incision beginning 2 mm lateral to the external canthus. We ... -
A multicenter study to evaluate ceftaroline breakpoints: Performance in an area with high prevalence of methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 5 lineage
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019)ABSTRACT Ceftaroline (CPT) is a broad-spectrum agent with potent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The sequence type 5 (ST5) Chilean-Cordobés clone, associated with CPT nonsusceptibility, ... -
A new AAC section: translating resistance to the bedside
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-08) -
A new antibiotic and the evolution of resistance
(Massachusetts Medical Society, 2015-03-19) -
A new gene inventory of the ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like conjugation pathways in giardia intestinalis
(Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, 2020)BACKGROUND Ubiquitin (Ub) and Ub-like proteins (Ub-L) are critical regulators of complex cellular processes such as the cell cycle, DNA repair, transcription, chromatin remodeling, signal translation, and protein degradation. ...
