Distributional ecology of Andes hantavirus: a macroecological approach
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2018)Background: Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is an infection endemic in Chile and Argentina, caused by Andes hantavirus (ANDV). The rodent Oligoryzomys longicaudatus is suggested as the main reservoir, although several ... -
Disulfide cross-linked multimers of TDP-43 and spinal motoneuron loss in a TDP-43A315T ALS/FTD mouse model
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)Tar DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is the principal component of ubiquitinated protein inclusions present in nervous tissue of most cases of both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). ... -
DNA sequencing in the classroom: complete genome sequence of two earwig (Dermaptera; Insecta) species
(SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2023-02-17)BackgroundDespite representing the largest fraction of animal life, the number of insect species whose genome has been sequenced is barely in the hundreds. The order Dermaptera (the earwigs) suffers from a lack of genomic ... -
Do complex inventions need less international patent protection?
(HUMANIDADES, 2014)I show that very complex inventions stay outside the patent system more often than medium-complexity products. I test this hypothesis using a subset of international patents data. The regressions confirm that patents and ... -
Do physical activity, commuting mode, cardiorespiratory fitness and sedentary behaviours modify the genetic predisposition to higher BMI? Findings from a UK Biobank study
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)Objective To investigate whether the association between a genetic profile risk score for obesity (GPRS-obesity) (based on 93 SNPs) and body mass index (BMI) was modified by physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness, ... -
Do Young People Adapt Their Prosocial Behaviour to That of Their Peers? An Experimental Exploration
(SAGE Publications, 2019-04)Moral decisions – that is, decisions that consider the consequences for the welfare of others – can be highly inconsistent across contexts. Here, we explore whether the altruism of young people is related to their willingness ... -

Docosahexaenoic acid and hydroxytyrosol co-administration fully prevents liver steatosis and related parameters in mice subjected to high-fat diet: A molecular approach
(WILEY, 2019)Attenuation of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced liver steatosis is accomplished by different nutritional interventions. Considering that the n-3 PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) modulates lipid metabolism and the antioxidant ... -
Does insulin-like growth factor moderate the association between height and risk of cancer at 24 sites?
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-11)Background Whether the association of height with cancers differs by insulin-like growth factors has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the sex-specific associations between height and ... -
Does refurbishing composites lead to short-term effects or long-lasting improvement?
(CIENCIAS, 2015)Purpose: To evaluate the clinical performance of refurbished resin composite restorations compared to untreated (negative control) restorations over a period of 10 years. Methods: 26 subjects (having a total of 52 composite ... -
Does substance use disorder treatment completion reduce the risk of treatment readmission in Chile?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-07-01)Background: Recovery from substance use disorders (SUD) often entails multiple treatment episodes, which clashes with a context of a treatment system with limited resources and long waiting. Treatment retention and completion ... -
Does the association between physical capability and mortality differ by deprivation? Findings from the UK Biobank population-based cohort study
(Routledge, 2020-12)Background To investigate whether the excess risk of adverse health outcomes associated with a lower physical capability in adulthood differs by deprivation levels. Methods 279,030 participants from the UK Biobank were ... -
