Un iBook del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científica reúne los resultados de las investigaciones realizadas en la Islas Atlánticas de Galicia desde 2009 por el Instituto de Ciencias del Patrimonio (Incipit) con una perspectiva interdisciplinar y acerca de la presencia humana desde...

Una investigación con participación del CSIC revela cómo una mutación provoca la resistencia al insecticida DDT por parte del mosquito portador de la malaria, al producir cambios en el centro activo de la enzima que permiten el metabolismo del insecticida. El hallazgo abre las puertas al desarrollo...

Los publicistas de la corporación suiza Syngenta estaban inspirados en 2003 cuando bautizaron al Cono Sur americano (Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay) como la “República Unida de la Soja”. En esta “república” hay más de 46 millones de hectáreas de monocultivos de soja transgénica, fumigadas con 600 millones de...

La defensa de la Madre Tierra, que el Estado plurinacional de Bolivia formalizó en una ley específica hace año y medio, no pasa todavía de las buenas intenciones a las acciones. La Ley Marco de la Madre Tierra y Desarrollo Integral para Vivir Bien, sancionada el 15 de octubre de 2012, establece...

Elevando su cuello, este titanosaurio alcanzaba una altitud semejante al séptimo piso de un edificio actual. Vivió hace unos 90 millones de años y fue hallado junto a otros seis ejemplares. Por lo completo que se encontró su esqueleto, se podrá conocer mucho más sobre cómo se desplazaban estos...

Llevado a cabo durante las VI Jornadas de Historia, Memoria y Comunicación, el evento contó con la presencia de profesores e investigadores de distintas universidades, que discutieron los desafíos de dicho espacio curricular y destacaron la importancia de que la materia se consolide como disciplina...

Researchers have created an imaging system that reveals neural activity throughout the brains of living animals. This technique, the first that can generate 3-D movies of entire brains at the millisecond timescale, could help scientists discover how neuronal networks process sensory information and...

A form of bacteria responsible for respiratory illness, including the deadly pneumonia known as Legionnaire's disease, may be able to grow in windshield washer fluid and was isolated from nearly 75 percent of school buses tested in one district in Arizona, according to new research. Fuente :...

Patients with pancreatic cancer have a different and distinct profile of specific bacteria in their saliva compared to healthy controls and even patients with other cancers or pancreatic diseases, according to new research. These findings could form the basis for a test to diagnose the disease in...

Bacteria live in the bladders of healthy women, discrediting the common belief that normal urine is sterile. This study also revealed that bladder bacteria in healthy women differ from the bladder bacteria in women affected by overactive bladder, which causes a sudden need to urinate. Fuente :...

Physicists have discovered how to create matter from light -- a feat thought impossible when the idea was first theorized 80 years ago. In just one day over several cups of coffee in a tiny office, three physicists worked out a relatively simple way to physically prove a theory first devised by...

Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) and the Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL) in Vienna, Austria, collaborated with scientists at the MIT to create an imaging system that reveals neural activity throughout the entire nervous system of living animals. This technique, the first...

Ein Team um Alipasha Vaziri, Gruppenleiter am Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pathologie (IMP) und an den Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL) in Wien, entwickelte gemeinsam mit Kollegen am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) eine Methode, mit der erstmals die gleichzeitige neuronale...

Cardiologists have discovered biomarkers that can be used to develop a screening test to detect Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a life-threatening disorder that is the primary cause of mortality in pregnant women in developing countries. The results can lead to the immediate treatment of PPCM in new mothers and a significant...

Poor diuretic response is associated with worse in-hospital and post-discharge clinical outcomes, results of the a trial reveal. The study also found that serelaxin has a neutral effect on diuretic response. The trial was a double blind, placebo-controlled trial of 1161 patients admitted to hospital with acute heart failure....

Worsening symptoms and signs of heart failure (HF) in patients admitted to a hospital is a common sign of treatment failure and can lead to long-term consequences for the patient, including longer length of hospitalization and a higher risk for readmission and death, according to a recent study. Heart failure is the most common...

Negative iron balance predicts survival in patients with acute heart failure, according to research. “Patients with acute heart failure have a major collapse in homeostasis. Iron is a key micronutrient that is required for the maintenance of homeostasis. Iron is needed for cellular metabolism and deficiency leads to severely...

Sleeping pills increase the risk of cardiovascular events in heart failure patients by 8-fold, according to research. The investigators concluded: "Our results need confirmation in larger, prospective studies before heart failure patients can be advised to stop taking sleeping pills. But (some) patients who use sleeping pills,...

PPCM is the leading cause of death in women who are pregnant or have just given birth. The new test will allow doctors to determine whether the woman has PPCM and begin effective treatment immediately. Fuente : http://www.alphagalileo.org/ViewItem.aspx?ItemId=1...
