Short-term effect of antibiotics on human gut microbiota
(PLoS ONE, 2014-04-18)From birth onwards, the human gut microbiota rapidly increases in diversity and reaches an adult-like stage at three years of age. After this age, the composition may fluctuate in response to external ... -
Short-term effects of air pollution and weather on physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
(Environmental Research, 2024)Introduction: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accumulate low levels of physical activity. How environmental factors affect their physical activity in the short-term is uncertain. ... -
Short-term effects of three types of hamstring stretching on length, neurodynamic response, and perceived sense of effort: a randomised cross-over trial
(Life, 2022)Background: Stretching techniques for hamstring muscles have been described both to increase muscle length and to evaluate nerve mechanosensitivity. Aim: We sought to evaluate the short-term effects of ... -
Signalling network of breast cancer cells in response to progesterone
(BioRxiv, 2020)Breast cancer cells enter into the cell cycle following progestin exposure by the activation of signalling cascades involving a plethora of enzymes, transcription factors and co-factors that transmit ... -
Significance of barrier membrane on the reconstructive therapy of peri-implantitis: a randomized controlled trial
(Journal of Periodontology, 2022)Background: he objective of this trial was to investigate the clinical and radiographic significance of using a mixture of mineralized and demineralized allografts in combination (M) or not (NM) with a ... -
Silencis que parlen: el revestiment dramàtic en el Fileb de Plató
(Anuari de la Societat Catalana de Filosofia, 2019)El present escrit se centra en l’anàlisi del revestiment dramàtic del Fileb de Plató. Concretament, examina la rellevància dels silencis en aquest diàleg. Després d’una breu introducció al concepte de ... -
