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 ... -
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 ... -
Differential Early Performance of Two Underplanted Hardwood Tree Species Following Restoration Treatments in High-Graded Temperate Rainforests
(MDPI AG, 2020-04)Rauli (Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. & Endl.)) and Ulmo (Eucryphia cordifolia Cav.) are mid-tolerant tree species in the Coihue-Rauli-Tepa (ca. 0.55 mill ha) and Evergreen (ca. 4.1 mill ha) forest types in south-central Chile, ... -
Different Pollinators' Functional Traits Can Explain Pollen Load in Two Solitary Oil-Collecting Bees
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-10)Pollinators' features, especially those with a functional role during the pollination process, have been shown to be a good predictor of pollen load for some bee species, but little is known about solitary bees. Here, I ... -
Development and analytical validation of real-time PCR for the detection ofStreptococcus agalactiaein pregnant women
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2020-06)Background Group BStreptococcus(GBS) is the leading cause of invasive neonatal infection. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the analytical validation of qualitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) as a means ... -
Decoding Gene Networks Modules That Explain the Recovery of Hymenoglossum cruentum Cav. After Extreme Desiccation
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-05)Hymenoglossum cruentum (Hymenophyllaceae) is a poikilohydric, homoiochlorophyllous desiccation-tolerant (DT) epiphyte fern. It can undergo fast and frequent dehydration-rehydration cycles. This fern is highly abundant at ... -
Deciphering Additional Roles for the EF-Tu,l-Asparaginase II and OmpT Proteins of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli
(MDPI AG, 2020-08)Shiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli(STEC) causes outbreaks and sporadic cases of gastroenteritis. STEC O157:H7 is the most clinically relevant serotype in the world. The major virulence determinants of STEC O157:H7 are ... -
Comparison of two different frailty measurements and risk of hospitalisation or death from COVID-19: findings from UK Biobank
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2020-11)Background Frailty has been associated with worse prognosis following COVID-19 infection. While several studies have reported the association between frailty and COVID-19 mortality or length of hospital stay, there have ... -
Comparison of self-report versus accelerometer - measured physical activity and sedentary behaviors and their association with body composition in Latin American countries
(Public Library of Science, 2020-04)Background: Most population-based studies from Latin America have used questionnaires to measure physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors (SB). Low reliability and validity of the questionnaires has limited the ... -
Collateral Sprouting of Peripheral Sensory Neurons Exhibits a Unique Transcriptomic Profile
(Humana Press, 2020-10)Peripheral nerve injuries result in motor and sensory dysfunction which can be recovered by compensatory or regenerative processes. In situations where axonal regeneration of injured neurons is hampered, compensation by ... -
Physical capability markers used to define sarcopenia and their association with cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes and all-cause mortality: A prospective study from UK Biobank
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2020-08)Introduction: It is unclear what combinations of physical capability markers used to define sarcopenia have the strongest associations with health outcomes. Aim: To compare the associations between different combinations ... -
Nivel de actividad física y sedentarismo en personas con diagnóstico de cáncer en Chile
