ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the compositions of upper urinary tract stones and investigate their distributions in different gender and age groups. Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with upper urinary tract stone disease between December 2014 and March 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Pati...

Determinación de valores de referencia de cortisol salival en lactantes sanos de 0 a 12 meses

Arch. argent. pediatr; 118 (1), 2020
Introducción. El cortisol salival es una herramienta útil como biomarcador de estrés en pediatría, ya que la obtención de muestras no es invasiva. Hay escasa información sobre su uso en niños, y no se reportaron valores de referencia en lactantes sanos en la Argentina. Es importante establecerlos ...

Statistical analysis of shrinkage levels of human brain slices preserved by sheet plastination technique with polyester resin

Int. j. morphol; 38 (1), 2020
Plastination is currently the most important anatomical preservation technique due to the possibility of preserving bodies and organs for an indefinite period, in a dry and biosecure form, while preserving the morphological characteristics of the tissues. However, the shrinkage of the samples is also par...

Effect of low-fat diets enriched with fruit purees on the biochemical markers of metabolic syndrome analogy induced-rats

Int. j. morphol; 38 (1), 2020
Fruit purees can be added to diet as alternative sources of bioactive compounds for the prevention and/or improvement of the complications of metabolic syndrome. In this work we evaluated the effect of the intake of low-fat diets enriched with fruit purees (guava-strawberry, guava-blackberry, guava-sours...

Salivary biomarkers in Alzheimer´s disease

Int. j. morphol; 38 (1), 2020
The hypotheses currently considered the most likely causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are amyloid beta peptide deposition in the cerebral cortex and hyperphosphorylation of the Tau protein, with the consequent formation of neurofibrillary tangles. In clinical practice, although not accurate, AD diagnosi...

Reducción de proteínas y glucosa por reacción de Maillard en leche con lactosa hidrolisada

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (1), 2020
Se evaluó el efecto de la temperatura sobre la desnaturalización de proteínas y la reacción de Maillard en leche entera y descremada con lactosa hidrolizada. Las leches hidrolizadas se trataron térmicamente a 100, 110, 120 y 130 °C durante un período de 1 hora y se midió la concentración de gluc...

Bioactive compounds in fruits from different regions of Brazil

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (1), 2020
It is important to determine the chemical composition of fruits in order to establish their potential health benefits for human nutrition and thus stimulate their cultivation and consumption. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the physical and chemical parameters, vitamin C content, ...

Fatty acid profile and solid fat content of Peruvian cacao for optimal production of trade chocolate

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (1), 2020
Using technical procedures, the fatty acid (FA) profile and solid fat content (SFC) of the Peruvian cultivar cacao beans CCN 51 and ICS 6 and the "optimal chocolate", obtained from the mixture of the first two, were determined to assess their quality. These cacao beans were found to have important nutrit...
