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 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 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 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 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. ... -
A physical activity questionnaire: reproducibility and validity
(Dept. of Sports Medicine, Medical Faculty of Uludag University, 2007)This study evaluates the Quantification de L’Activite Physique en Altitude chez les Enfants (QAPACE) supervised self-administered questionnaire reproducibility and validity on the estimation of the mean daily energy ... -
A prospective cohort study to assess seroprevalence, incidence, knowledge, attitudes and practices, willingness to pay for vaccine and related risk factors in dengue in a high incidence setting
(Biomed Central, 2016)Background: Dengue is one of the most important vector-borne diseases in the world, causing significant morbidity and economic impact. In Colombia, dengue is a major public health problem. Departments of La Guajira, Cesar ... -
A quantum coherence-recoherence-based model of reality
(NeuroQuantology, 2018)This paper discusses a coherence-recoherence-based model of reality and argues that the world and nature can be grasped as positive and negative loops of continuous coherence-decoherence-recoherence behaviors. In so ... -
A review of combination antimicrobial therapy for enterococcus faecalis bloodstream infections and infective endocarditis
(Oxford University Press, 2018)Enterococci, one of the most common causes of hospital-associated infections, are responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality. Enterococcus faecalis, the more common and virulent species, causes serious high-inoculum ... -
A review of management strategies for nociceptive and neuropathic ocular surface pain
(Springer Nature, 2020)Despite being a common presenting symptom to eye-care clinics, many ophthalmologists have difficulty diagnosing and managing ocular surface pain. The purpose of this review is to discuss potential causes of ocular surface ... -
A variable DNA recognition site organization establishes the Liar-mediated cell envelope stress response of enterococci to daptomycin
(Oxford University Press, 2015)LiaR is a ‘master regulator’ of the cell envelope stress response in enterococci and many other Gram-positive organisms. Mutations to liaR can lead to antibiotic resistance to a variety of antibiotics including the cyclic ... -
Abdomen or wings? Comparing two body places for marking in Mesamphiagrion laterale (Odonata: Coenagrionidae)
(Societas Internationalis Odonatologica, 2015)To assess a marking technique that avoids alteration of wing aspect and thereby reduces the effect of marking on the organisms' behavior, adult individuals of Mesamphiagrion laterale (Selys, 1876) were marked on two body ... -
Abdominal adiposity correlates with adenotonsillectomy outcome in obese adolescents with severe obstructive sleep apnea
(Hindawi Pub, 2012)Background. Obese adolescents with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) have a unique pathophysiology that combines adenotonsillar hypertrophy and increased visceral fat distribution. We hypothesized that in this population waist ... -
Accuracy of preterm infant weight gain velocity calculations vary depending on method used and infant age at time of measurement
(Springer Nature, 2019)BACKGROUND: We examined preterm infants’ weight gain velocity (WGV) to determine how much calculation methods influences actual WGV during the first 28 days of life. METHODS: WGV methods (Average 2-point, Exponential ... -
Acute abdomen in the centanary patient, mesh migration into the sigmoid colon after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TAPP): A case report and review of literature
