No time to rest: How the effects of climate change on nest decay threaten the conservation of apes in the wild.

Since 1994, IUCN Red List assessments apply globally acknowledged standards to assess species distribution, abundance and trends. The extinction risk of a species has a major impact on conservation science and international funding mechanisms. Great ape species are listed as Endangered or Critically Endangered.

Continuous preparation of carbon-nanotube-supported platinum catalysts in a flow reactor directly heated by electric current.

In this contribution we present for the first time a continuous process for the production of highly active Pt catalysts supported by carbon nanotubes by use of an electrically heated tubular reactor. The synthesized catalysts show a high degree of dispersion and narrow distributions of cluster sizes. In comparison to catalysts synthesized by the conventional oil-bath method a significantly higher electrocatalytic activity was reached, which can be attributed to the higher metal loading and smaller and more uniformly distributed Pt particles on the carbon support.

Primary care survey of awareness and control of hypertension: a hospital-based study.

The objectives of this cross-sectional study were to determine awareness degree, treatment status, and control of hypertension and its predictors in a consecutive group of attendees at a Buenos Aires University School Hospital primary care setting from April 2003 to May 2006. Results for 1733 hypertensive subjects, all of them white (578 men and 1155 women), were available for analyses. Mean age of hypertensive subjects was 66.

Bioequivalence of two levothyroxine tablet formulations without and with mathematical adjustment for basal thyroxine levels in healthy Argentinian volunteers: a single-dose, randomized, open-label, crossover study.

Background: Levothyroxine has a narrow therapeutic index; therefore, precise and accurate assessment of the bioequivalence of different levothyroxine products is critical. Bioavailability estimates of levothyroxine formulations might be affected by baseline concentrations of the hormone.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the bioequivalence of 100 microg of a test (T4 Montpellier 100, Química Montpellier S.

[Diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm in functional dyspepsia].

Introduction: Dyspepsia is a word that means bad digestion. In the conviction of which it is a question of an entity that it includes different disciplines, we realize a meeting consensus to discuss and to resolve a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm of national order.

Objective: To agree on a national algorithm applicable to the functional dyspepsia.

Is acetaminophen, and its combination with pamabrom, an effective therapeutic option in primary dysmenorrhoea?

Primary dysmenorrhoea is the most frequent gynaecological condition, with a prevalence of 40 - 90% in women within the reproductive age. It is characterised by cyclic pelvic pain related to menstrual period, vomiting and headache. As prostaglandins and leukotrienes appear to be a major causative factor in this condition, NSAIDs are the first choice for treatment.
