We studied the salinity and waterlogging tolerance of five Australian tree species (Acacia salicina, Casuarina glauca, Casuarina obesa, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus occidentalis) during seedling stage and their relationships with root and leaf ion concentrations. 8-month old plants were exposed for 5 months to five irrigation water salinity treatments (EC values between 2 and 22 dS m−1) and two waterlogging treatments (drained or WT). The salinity tolerance of the five species was high, although decreased in WT conditions. Irrespective of salinity, the two Casuarina species were more tolerant and the other three species were less tolerant to WT than drained conditions. In all species, salinity and waterlogging increased leaf Cl− and Na+ and decreased leaf Ca2+, but not leaf K+. Root Cl− and Na+ increased with salinity but ...

There has been an increase in reported skin and soft tissue NTM infection (SSI-NTM) over recent years,1 yet evidence for treatment is largely based on small case series. Objective To assess treatment and outcome of SSI-NTM cases presenting to a London teaching hospital from January 2013 – December 2017. Methods All positive NTM cultures from January 2013 to December 2017 from a large London teaching hospital were examined retrospectively. Case notes were reviewed for site of infection, species identification, time to initiate treatment, treatment duration, antibiotic choice, co-existing immunosuppression, complications and recurrence. All HIV, paediatric and pulmonary NTM cases were excluded. Results 239 patients with NTM were identified. 15 were SSI-NTM (6%). 4 patients were excluded as three have not completed treatment and one was a post-mortem finding (n=11). Details of these 11 cases are shown in the table 1. M. chelonae and M. fortuitum were the most frequently identified (n=6). Treatment duration for M. Marinum, fortuitum and chelonae ranged from 3 to 8 months, and for M. abscessus, intracellularae and kansasii 10 to 18 months. One case was cured with surgical debridement alone. Mean delay was 78 days from symptom onset to treatment initiation. Ten (90%) cases had complete cure with no recurrence. Conclusions SSI–NTM is under recognised and can present late, potentially following previous multiple attempts of standard antibacterial therapy. It should be considered particularly in cases of immunosuppression, non-healing surgical wounds, injection sites, vascular grafts and cosmetic procedures. Our data suggests that SSI–NTM can be successfully managed with combination antibiotics leading to complete resolution. Clarithromycin may be considered as a single agent for M. chelonae. Surgical debridement and removal of foreign bodies may also aid recovery and limit treatment duration. Further research is needed to guide optimal treatment regimen and duration, as management of these complex cases will become increasingly relevant to the TB and respiratory physician.

A través de las páginas de este libro, el lector podrá descubrir cómo el conocimiento de la historia de la lengua española se ha enriquecido considerablemente durante estos últimos años en sus diferentes niveles (fonético-fonológico, grafemático, léxico-semántico, morfosintáctico y pragmático) y cómo se está reescribiendo esta historia gracias a la observación de más datos extraídos de la gran cantidad de documentos de archivo editados con extremado rigor filológico ...

While some people are more comfortable socializing face-to-face, others who lack social skills may prefer online social interaction. Previous research found that individuals who possess low self-esteem had a higher preference for e-mail than those who had high self esteem. The present study consisted of 112 undergraduate students who read one of four scenarios concerning a character participating in either face-to-face or internet communication with either high or low social skills. The participants \\u27 perceptions of the scenario characters\\u27 social anxiety and self-esteem were assessed. Results indicated that participants perceived individuals with high social skills to have lower social anxiety and higher self-esteem than individuals who have low social skills. However, there was no difference for communication type. The current research suggests that social skills influenced the way people viewed others \\u27 self-esteem and social anxiety

To explore this, the South Texas Oral Health Network (STOHN) initiated a collaboration with The Tooth Fairy National Study investigating toxicants stored in deciduous teeth as a potential neurodevelopmental risk factor. Background Neurodevelopmental disorders (ND), like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), affect 1 in 68 live births. Evidence suggests that environmental chemicals may play a role in ASD risk and/or etiology by acting independently or through interactions with genetic vulnerabilities. Provider awareness of environmental exposure risk during pregnancy and early childhood in South Texas is low. Therefore, it is important to increase provider knowledge and awareness to enable greater communication with patients. STOHN serves as a conduit reaching large num...

Justo Donoso la define como "la potestad que compete a los Ministros de la Iglesia para regir y gobernar a los bautizados en orden a la eterna salud". La definición incluye la potestad de mandar, corregir, juzgar, castigar, enseñar, impartir bendiciones y sacramentos; administrar bienes eclesiásticos; o sea, hacer cuanto pueda conducir al buen régimen de la Iglesia. El objeto de esta jurisdicción es dual: a) Que le pertenece directamente: los actos y cosas eminentemente espirituales. Estas son aquellas cuyo fin es espiritual (que versan sobre fe, sacramentos, culto divino, ministerio y disciplina eclesiástica) b) Que le pertenece indirectamente: le pertenecen las cosas temporales cuando son útiles para conseguir un fin sobrenatural

Estos particulares edificios presentan graves problemas de definicion y clasificacion, lo que les convierte en unos de los monumentos peor conocidos de la arqueologia romana. Por todo ello, el trabajo pretende establecer una propuesta de clasificacion que englobe todos los ninfeos independientemente de su tipologia, cronologia o ubicacion. Se recoge tambien un pequeno "catalogo" critico de todos aquellos edificios que han sido calificados como ninfeos en el territorio hispano. El segundo bloque esta destinado al analisis detallado del monumento valeriense desde el punto de vista arquitectonico, social, politico y religioso. Este impresionante edificio, con sus mas de 80 m de fachada, constituye el mayor ninfeo conservado en el mundo romano. Es, ademas, uno de los pocos que aun hoy se conservan en el territorio del Occidente romano y el mas antiguo de ellos y un caso unico en la Meseta y en toda la Peninsula Iberica.
