Management of Severe Midface Retrusion With Distraction Osteogenesis in Patients With Cleft Lip and Alveolus
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)A cleft lip, palate, and alveolus is one of the most common birth defects. Depending on the type of cleft, multiple surgeries may be required throughout the growth stage. Traditionally, an orthodontic-surgical approach has ... -
Euterpe oleracea Mart. Inhibits virulence factors of Aspergillus fumigatus
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2019)Aim: Euterpe oleracea Mart. (acai) presents organic compounds with different pharmacological properties. The aim was to evaluate the bioactivity of the acai extract on the virulence factors of two strains of Aspergillus ... -
A non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism in FASN gene alters FASN enzyme activity in subcutaneous and intramuscular adipose tissue in Holstein Friesian steers
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)The FASN enzyme plays a key role in fatty acids synthesis as the main long-chain fatty acid synthesizer. A non-synonymous SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) (g.17925A>G) located in the thiocsterase domain of this enzyme ... -
Acute effects of high-intensity interval training session and endurance exercise on pulmonary function and cardiorespiratory coupling
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)The aim of this study was to determine the acute effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise and endurance exercise (EE) on pulmonary function, sympathetic/parasympathetic balance, and cardiorespiratory ... -
The influence of soil age on ecosystem structure and function across biomes
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)The importance of soil age as an ecosystem driver across biomes remains largely unresolved. By combining a cross-biome global field survey, including data for 32 soil, plant, and microbial properties in 16 soil chronosequences, ... -
Soil microbial abundance and activity across forefield glacier chronosequence in the Northern Patagonian Ice Field, Chile
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)In recently deglaciated soils, microbial organisms drive soil transformations by increasing carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools while depleting available phosphorous (P), thus improving plant colonization and soil development. ... -
Size and temperature dependent magnetization of iron nanoclusters
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)The magnetic behavior of bcc iron nanoclusters, with diameters between 2 and 8 nm, is investigated by means of spin dynamics simulations coupled to molecular dynamics, using a distance-dependent exchange interaction. ... -
Partitioning beta-diversity reveals that invasions and extinctions promote the biotic homogenization of Chilean freshwater fish fauna
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Aim Exotic species' introductions together with extinction of native species represent the main mechanisms driving biotic homogenization of freshwater fish assemblages around the world. While generally ichtyofaunistic ... -
Negative feelings and behaviour are associated with low nutritional level, unhealthy lifestyle, and cardiometabolic risk factors in Chilean schoolchildren
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Background: feelings and behaviours are an important tool that should be considered to prevent early unhealthy lifestyles. Objective: the objective was to determine the association between feelings (i.e., sadness, loneliness, ... -
Molecular signatures of extracellular vesicles in oral fluids of periodontitis patients
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Objective To characterize extracellular vesicles (EVs) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva samples from healthy/gingivitis and periodontitis patients and correlate them with clinical inflammatory periodontal ... -
