Abstract: The present invention proposes a novel method for the detection of circulating histones H3 and H2B in plasma from sepsis or septic shock (SS) patients, based on mass spectrometry-based methods, in particular based on multiple reaction monitoring targeted mass spectrometry (MRM-MS). Such methods allow quantification of histones using an internal standard and show strong specificity and sensitivity values.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions related to treating motor neuron diseases, such as ALS, in a subject by administering to the subject (e.g., orally administering to the subject) a composition comprising nicotinamide riboside and/or pterostilbene.

Abstract: A method for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) based on an interfacial process of antigen-antibody molecular recognition, specifically between anti-Ro52 and Ro52 protein, in a piezoelectric resonator, for application in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases such as SLE.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an anaerobic process with filtration procedure for wastewater treatment at room temperature, that comprises: continuously feeding at least one anaerobic reactor, with previously sieved wastewater and feeding biodegradable organic waste—BOW—also previously sieved, said reactor being coupled to at least one gasified filtration membrane, with recirculation of biogas from the reactor, carrying out the anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction contained in the mixture of wastewater and the BOW, in the reactor, obtaining a treated mixture and filtering the mixture treated in the reactor, in at least one filtration tank through the gasified membrane under conditions such that the relationship between the biogas recirculated per square meter of membrane, and time unit, and the wastewater filtered—SGDp—is the minimum value allowed by the solid concentration in a treatment plant.

Abstract: A method is for prevention and/or biological control of wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, by use of suitable bacteriophages. In addition a method uses the structural characterisation, genome sequence and activity of three specific lytic bacteriophages of R. solanacearum. Podovirus presents an elevated stability between 4° C. and 30° C. in an aqueous medium in the absence of a host. As a result of the high level of stability, lytic activity, elevated specificity towards R. solanacearum and the absence of activity against the microbiota associated with the plants to be protected, bacteriophages are used for the biological control of R. solanacearum in river courses and irrigation water, as well as in a method for preventing and/or controlling the wilt produced by the bacteria, in which at least one of the bacteriophages, or combinations thereof, are delivered to the plants and/or the soil in the irrigation water.

Abstract: Soluble homo and heterometallic coordination polymers based on the oxalate ligand and method for obtaining spinels from them. Homo or heterometallic coordination polymers comprising at least one oxalate ligand are characterised by comprising also at least one organic molecule that can stabilise extended structures of metal complexes by the formation of supramolecular interactions so that this polymer is substantially water-soluble and insoluble in organic solvents.

Abstract: Use of the PEDF factor to induce cell regeneration. The present invention refers to the use of the molecule PEDF for the manufacture of medicines to activate processes included in the group of regenerative processes, such as skin regeneration, wound healing, cell therapy for cardiac, neural, or hematopoietic regeneration. It also refers to the manufacture/use of pharmaceutical compounds that contain an efficient quantity of the PEDF factor for stem cell self-renewal.

Abstract: The invention is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of impedances (R2, C3, R4, R5) and at least one operational amplifier (51, 52), and means (53) for connecting a resistive sensor (Rs) to the electronic circuit (50) such that, once the resistive sensor has been connected to the electronic circuit, a resulting electronic circuit is obtained that consists of the electronic circuit and the resistive sensor connected thereto, the input impedance (Zinp) of which corresponds to that of a variable capacitance as a function of the resistive sensor (Rs). A capacitative input impedance that can very as a function of a sensor is obtained.
