Las creencias de la docente de educación física sobre la obesidad en la niñez de edad escolar
(2013-05)El propósito de este artículo es comprender cómo las creencias del personal docente de Educación Física (EF) acerca de la obesidad de niños y niñas en edad escolar, favorecen u obstaculizan la prevención de esta condición. ... -
Las creencias machistas de los docentes de educación física y su relación con la obesidad en los estudiantes
(2019-01)El personal docente de Educación Física debe poner en práctica propuestas de cambio que rompan con la reproducción de una cultura machista y discriminatoria y abran espacios a nuevas generaciones de estudiantes más solidarias, ... -
Criptosporidiosis en niños de Costa Rica: estudio transveral y longitudinal
(Revista de Biología Tropical 32(1) p.129-135, 1984-01-04)Se estudió una población de niños lactantes y preescolares, con y sin diarrea, de las áreas urbano y rural de los altiplanos de Costa Rica, observados respectivamente en un servicio de emergencia de un hospital metropolitano ... -
Criptosporidiosis: una zoonosis de reciente interés
(Adel. Microbiol. Enf. Infecc 3 p. 159-181, 1984)Cryptosporidium, a coccidium described in 1907. causes subclinical infections and diarrhea in many vertebrates including man. It departs from other Cryptosporidiiae in its localization on the brush border of epithelial ... -
Critical role of TLR2 and MyD88 for functional response of macrophages to a group IIA-Secreted phospholipase A2 from snake venom
(PLoS One 9(4):e93741, 2014-04-09)The snake venom MT-III is a group IIA secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) enzyme with functional and structural similarities with mammalian pro-inflammatory sPLA2s of the same group. Previously, we demonstrated that MT-III ... -
Cross-recognition of a pit viper (Crotalinae) polyspecific antivenom explored through high-density peptide microarray epitope mapping
(2017-07)Snakebite antivenom is a 120 years old invention based on polyclonal mixtures of antibodies purified from the blood of hyper-immunized animals. Knowledge on antibody recognition sites (epitopes) on snake venom proteins ... -
Crystal structure of a phospholipase A2 from Bothrops asper venom: Insights into a new putative “myotoxic cluster”
(2017)Snake venoms from the Viperidae and Elapidae families often have several phospholipases A2 (PLA2s), which may display different functions despite having a similar structural scaffold. These proteins are considered an ... -
Crystal structure of myotoxin II, a monomeric Lys49-phospholipase A2 homologue isolated from the venom of Cerrophidion (Bothrops) godmani
(1999-06-15)Lys49-Phospholipase A2 (Lys49-PLA2) homologues damage membranes by a Ca2+-independent mechanism which does not involve catalytic activity. With the aim of determining the structural basis for this novel activity, we have ... -
Crystallization and preliminary diffraction data of two myotoxins isolated from the venoms of Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) and Bothrops nummifer (jumping viper)
(1993-08)Two myotoxins isolated from B. asper (myotoxin II) and B. nummifer (myotoxin I) snake venoms have been crystallized and their diffraction properties are described. These myotoxins are phospholipase A2 variants which lack ... -
Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of suramin, a highly charged polysulfonated napthylurea, complexed with a myotoxic PLA2 from Bothrops asper venom
(2004-12-01)Suramin is a highly charged polysulfonated napthylurea that interferes in a number of physiologically relevant processes such as myotoxicity, blood coagulation and several kinds of cancers. This synthetic compound was ... -
Crystallization of the Lys49 PLA2 homologue, myotoxin II from the venom of Atropoides nummifer
(2004-12)Myotoxin II, a Lys49 catalytically inactive phospholipase A2 homologue from Atropoides nummifer venom, was purified, characterized and crystallized. The crystals belongs to the tetragonal system, space group P43212, with ... -
Cuantificación de formas larvales de Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Diptera: Muscidae) como un criterio en el análisis del intervalo post mortem
(2005)El número de larvas de Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Diptera: Muscidae) encontradas in cadáveres fue evaluada como un criterio para la estimación del intervalo post-mortem (IPM) en un modelo con carcasas de conejo. Conejos (New ... -
Cuantificación espectrofotométrica del cloruro en suero mediante reacción con tiocianato de mercurio
(1995)El anión que se encuentra en mayor concentración en el fluido extracelular es el ion cloruro (i) (2), por lo que juega un papel importante en regular la distribución del agua, la presión osmótica y el balance aniónico-catiónico ... -

Culicidofauna asociada con contenedores artificiales en la comunidad “La Carpio”, Costa Rica
(2009-06-01)Objetivo: Determinar las especies de mosquitos más frecuentes en “La Carpio”, primer comunidad del Área Metropolitana de San José en sufrir un brote por dengue. Métodos: Cuatro encuestas larvales fueron ... -
Current challenges for confronting the public health problem of snakebite envenoming in Central America
(2014-03-06)Snakebite envenoming is a serious public health problem in Central America, where approximately 5,500 cases occur every year. Panama has the highest incidence and El Salvador the lowest. The majority, and most severe, cases ... -
Cytotoxicity induced in myotubes by a Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologue from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper: Evidence of rapid plasma membrane damage and a dual role for extracellular calcium
(2007-12)Acute muscle tissue damage, myonecrosis, is a typical consequence of envenomations by snakes of the family Viperidae. Catalytically-inactive Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologues are abundant myotoxic components in viperid ... -
Cytotoxicity of Lachesis muta muta snake (bushmaster) venom and its purified basic phospholipase A2 (LmTX-I) in cultured cells
