¿Existe Un Warao Genérico?: Cuestiones Clave En La Etnografía Y La Ecología Histórica Del Delta Del Orinoco Y El Territorio Warao-Lokono-Paragoto, Rafael Gassón, Dieter Heinen

Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America

Con frecuencia, la región del delta del Orinoco ha sido considerada como un paisaje prístino que ha experimentado, si acaso, pocos cambios en su geografía natural y humana. No obstante, durante el último siglo, el delta del Orinoco ha sufrido cambios radicales con graves consecuencias para la ecología y la distribución de las poblaciones locales

En este essayo comentaremos algunos de los cambios que han afectado el modo de vida, la distribución de los grupos poblacionales y la composición de los conglomerados Warao en el noreste venezolano a lo largo del tiempo. Finalmente, discutiremos algunos de los cambio ocurridos en …

Reinventing Primaquine For Endemic Malaria, J. Kevin Baird

United States Public Health Resources

After sixty years of continuous use, primaquine remains the only therapy licensed for arresting transmission and relapse of malaria. The US Army developed primaquine for soldiers in a wartime crisis setting. The dosing strategies suited to that narrow population were adopted without modification or validation for the broader population of humans exposed to risk of malaria. The poor suitability of these strategies in populations exhibiting greater vulnerability to hemolytic toxicity among glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient patients has not been addressed. Primaquine requires chemotherapeutic reinvention delivering less threatening doses by leveraging unexplored co-drug synergies.

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose a significant threat to human health, global economies, and conservation (Smolinski et al. 2003). They are defined as diseases that have recently increased in incidence (rate of the development of new cases during a given time period), are caused by pathogens that recently moved from one host population to another, have recently evolved, or have recently exhibited a change in pathogenesis (Morse 1993; Krause 1994). Some EIDs threaten global public health through pandemics with large-scale mortality (e.g., HN/AIDS). Others cause smaller outbreaks but have high case fatality ratios or lack effective therapies or vaccines (e.g. …

The development, evaluation, and implementation of new and improved diagnostics have been identified as critical needs by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis researchers and clinicians alike. These needs exist in international and domestic settings and in adult and pediatric populations. Experts in tuberculosis and HIV care, researchers, healthcare providers, public health experts, and industry representatives, as well as representatives of pertinent US federal agencies (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health, United States Agency for International Development) assembled at a workshop proposed by the Diagnostics Working Group of the Federal Tuberculosis Taskforce …

The Use Of Low-Calorie Sweeteners By Children: Implications For Weight Management, John Foreyt, Ronald Kleinman, Rebecca Brown, Rachel Lindstrom

United States Public Health Resources

The rise in pediatric obesity since the 1970s has been well established in the United States and is becoming a major concern worldwide. As a potential means to help slow the obesity epidemic, low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) have gained attention as dietary tools to assist in adherence to weight loss plans or prevention of excess weight gain. Observational studies tend to show positive correlations between LCS consumption and weight gain in children and adolescents. Although the data are intriguing, these epidemiologic studies do not establish that LCS cause weight gain, because there are likely many lifestyle and genetic differences between children …

Β2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonists And Steroids Inhibit Cafo Dust-Mediated Bronchial Epithelial Inflammation In Vitro, D. J. Romberger, K. Palm, A. J. Heires, T. M. Nordgren, M. L. Toews, T. A. Wyatt

United States Public Health Resources

Rationale: Agricultural workers employed in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are repeatedly exposed to aerosolized dust, and are susceptible to inflammatory lung diseases including COPD. Aqueous extracts of agricultural dust collected from swine CAFOs (HDE) have been shown to be potent inflammatory stimulators in human cells and in vivo mouse models. HDE exposure augments proinflammatory cytokine release, ICAM-1 expression, PKC activation, and lymphocyte and neutrophil adhesion to airway epithelial cells. Because ₂ adrenergic receptor agonists (β-agonists) alone, and in combination with corticosteroids, have been used to treat COPD, we examined the ability of these agents to diminish the inflammatory …

Fish Oil And Indomethacin In Combination Potently Reduce Dyslipidemia And Hepatic Steatosis In Ldlr-/- Mice, Ganesan Murali, Ginger L. Milne, Corey Webb, Ann B. Stewart, Ryan P. Mcmillan, Brandon C. Lyle, Matthew W. Hulver, Viswanathan Saraswathi

United States Public Health Resources

Fish oil (FO) is a potent anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering agent. Because inflammation can modulate lipid metabolism and vice versa, we hypothesized that combining FO with cyclooxygenase inhibitors (COXIBs), well-known anti-inflammatory drugs, can enhance the anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering effect of FO. LDLR-/- mice were fed a high fat diet supplemented with 6% olive oil or FO for 12 wk in the presence or absence of indomethacin (Indo, 6mg/liter drinking water). FO reduced plasma total cholesterol by 30% but in combination with Indo, exerted a greater decrease (44%). The reduction of liver cholesterol ester (CE) and triglycerides (TG) by FO (63% …

Finding Meaning In Monsters The Horror Genre And Its Relation To Social Anxieties In Nineteenth Through Twenty-First Century Literature And Film, Halee Turner

Theses & ETDs

Horror, as a genre, has been and continues to be very popular. In part this is because it contains titillating and shocking material that has thrilled readers and viewers for hundreds of years, but there is something more significant at work here. The sensational aspects of horror allow for more complex but controversial subjects to be explored in a way that non-threatening to readers/viewers. This phenomena is first evident in the nineteenth century literary works. Bram Stoker's Dracula and Joesph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla use vampires to mask an underlying discussion of sexuality and what was, at the time, sexual …

Response To Acute Psychophysical Stress And 24-Hour Glycemic Control In Healthy Older People, Loretta Dipietro, Catherine W. Yeckel, Andrei Gribok

Exercise and Nutrition Sciences Faculty Publications

We examined the relation between stress reactivity and 24 h glycemic control in 17 inactive, healthy older people (≥60 years) under both a novel psychophysical stress and a seated control condition. Plasma cortisol was measured over the course of the stress and recovery periods. Glycemic control was determined over the subsequent 3 h from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and over 24 h viacontinuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We observed significant (� < 0 . 0 5) elevations in perceived stress, cardiovascular activity, and peak cortisol response at 30 min (1 0 . 6 ± 3 . 1 versus 8 . 6 ± 2 . 6 μg·dL⁻¹, resp.) during the stress compared with the control condition; however, 3 h OGTT glucose and insulin responses were similar between conditions. The CGM data suggested a …

Vascular Inflammatory Cells In Hypertension., David G Harrison, Paul J. Marvar, Jens M Titze

Pharmacology and Physiology Faculty Publications

Hypertension is a common disorder with uncertain etiology. In the last several years, it has become evident that components of both the innate and adaptive immune system play an essential role in hypertension. Macrophages and T cells accumulate in the perivascular fat, the heart and the kidney of hypertensive patients, and in animals with experimental hypertension. Various immunosuppressive agents lower blood pressure and prevent end-organ damage. Mice lacking lymphocytes are protected against hypertension, and adoptive transfer of T cells, but not B cells in the animals restores their blood pressure response to stimuli such as angiotensin II or high salt. …

Taxonomic Status And Relationships Of Sorex Obscurus Parvidens Jackson, 1921, From California, Neal Woodman

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

The San Bernardino shrew, Sorex obscurus parvidens Jackson, 1921, is a population inhabiting the San Bernardino and San Gabriel mountains of southern California. For the past 9 decades, this population has been considered either a subspecies of S. obscurus Merriam, 1895, S. vagrans Baird, 1857, or S. monticola Merriam, 1890; or an undifferentiated population of S. ornatus Merriam, 1895. Aside from the changing taxonomic landscape that contextualizes the genus Sorex, previous study of S. obscurus parvidens has been retarded by the perception of limited available samples (typically, fewer than 8 specimens); misinterpretation of the provenance of specimens identified …
