The increasing demand for fatty acid-free lecithin required modifications in existing purification methods. In this technical note we describe a purification procedure with the following steps: a) homogenization and extraction of yolks obtained from fresh eggs with acetone, b) solubilization with ethanol and solvent elimination and c) repeated solubilization/precipitation with petroleum ether/acetone. This crude extract was chromatographed on neutral alumina, which was exhaustively washed with chloroform before elution with chloroform:methanol, allowing the sequential separation of fatty acids and lecithin. Chromatographic behavior and mass spectra of the product are presented. This fast procedure yields fatty acid-free lecithin at a competitive cost.

Thrombosis Research, 2012

Introduction: Thrombolysis, as reperfusion therapy for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), induces a pro-thrombotic status with enhanced platelet activity; this study aims to evaluate P2Y12 platelet reactivity and response to clopidogrel in the post-thrombolysis scenario. Materials and Methods: Observational, prospective study, including consecutive patients with elective angiography after thrombolytic therapy for STEMI. Every patient received antiplatelet therapy with loading doses of 250 mg aspirin and 300 mg clopidogrel on admission followed by 100 mg aspirin and 75 mg clopidogrel daily. P2Y12-dependent platelet reactivity (expressed in P2Y12-Reaction Units, PRU) was assessed with VerifyNow® device on admission, daily after thrombolysis and pre-angiography. Results: 41 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Median time between thrombolysis and angiography was 2,5 days (IQR 1,8-4,1). Post-treatment platelet reactivity (PPR) showed poor correlation with time on clopidogrel treatment (r2 = 0.04) and reached a maximum value of 274 ± 84 PRU during the first 24 h after thrombolysis (Day +1 determination). After this, values showed a progressive reduction until the point of angiography (249 ± 82 PRU), without significant differences between consecutive time-points (p= 0,549). Inhibition of platelet aggregation (IPA) assessed as a percentage of P2Y12 receptor blockage was poor, increasing gradually from 0 ± 4% on admission to 11± 6% the day of the angiography (p= 0,001). 71,4% of patients showed PPR ≥ 208 PRU during angiography. Conclusions: Platelet reactivity, as assessed by post-treatment P2Y12 mediated reactivity, is heightened after thrombolytic therapy during STEMI management. In this scenario, standard doses of clopidogrel did not achieve significant inhibition of ADP-mediated platelet reactivity.

Introduction: Many experimental models using lung lavage have been developed for the study of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The original technique has been modified by many authors, resulting in difficulties with reproducibility. There is insufficient detail on the lung injury models used, including hemodynamic stability during animal preparation and drawbacks encountered such as mortality. The authors studied the effects of the pulmonary recruitment and the use of fixed tidal volume (Vt) or fixed inspiratory pressure in the experimental ARDS model installation. Methods: Adult rabbits were submitted to repeated lung lavages with 30 ml/kg warm saline until the ARDS definition (PaO 2 /FiO 2 ≤ 100) was reached. The animals were divided into three groups, according to the technique used for mechanical ventilation: 1) fixed Vt of 10 ml/kg; 2) fixed inspiratory pressure (IP) with a tidal volume of 10 ml/kg prior to the first lung lavage; and 3) fixed Vt of 10 ml/kg with pulmonary recruitment before the first lavage. Results: The use of alveolar recruitment maneuvers, and the use of a fixed Vt or IP between the lung lavages did not change the number of lung lavages necessary to obtain the experimental model of ARDS or the hemodynamic stability of the animals during the procedure. A trend was observed toward an increased mortality rate with the recruitment maneuver and with the use of a fixed IP. Discussion: There were no differences between the three study groups, with no disadvantage in method of lung recruitment, either fixed tidal volume or fixed inspiratory pressure, regarding the number of lung lavages necessary to obtain the ARDS animal model. Furthermore, the three different procedures resulted in good hemodynamic stability of the animals, and low mortality rate.

Proceedings of the 12th International Audio Mostly Conference on Augmented and Participatory Sound and Music Experiences, 2017

Discovering new sounds from large databases or Internet is a tedious task. Standard search tools and manual exploration fails to manage the actual amount of information available. This paper presents a new approach to the problem which takes advantage of grown technologies like Big Data and Machine Learning, keeping in mind compositional concepts and focusing on artistic performances. Among several different distributed systems useful for music experimentation, a new workflow is proposed based on analysis techniques from Music Information Retrieval (MIR) combined with massive online databases, dynamic user interfaces, physical controllers and real-time synthesis. Based on Free Software tools and standard communication protocols to classify, cluster and segment sound. The control architecture allows multiple clients request the API services concurrently enabling collaborative work. The resulting system can retrieve well defined or pseudo-aleatory audio samples from the web, mix and transform them in real-time during a live-coding performance, play like another instrument in a band, as a solo artist combined with visual feedback or working alone as automated multimedia installation.

Early modern artists who did not have access to Roman Antiquity or needed quick access to it could refer to prints after monuments such as those issued by Antoine Lafréry (1512–1577). But Du Choul's Discours sur la castrametation et discipline militaire des Romains [ … ] De la Religion des anciens Romains (1554–1556) was also successful among artists, particularly painters. It was in vernacular language and widely available in French, Spanish and Italian; it was affordable and compact in format (editions were issued in quarto and octavo as well as folio); it had plenty of woodcuts; and it focused on the Roman military life, besides the monuments, for which information could also be found in travel guides. The present essay aims to study how Du Choul's volume circulated, with several examples from Spain and Italy. The Discours will be used as a case study of artists as readers, and I will study aspects previously overlooked such as the book's market price in the early modern period, examples of use (and abuse) of copies of the book by artists and, more broadly, the troubles and challenges encountered by these readers when representing subjects from ancient history.
