Innovative moments and change in Career Construction Counseling

This article presents an intensive analysis of a career counseling case—the case of Michael—using the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS) and the Return to the Problem Coding System (RPCS). Both systems are grounded in a narrative conception of the self which suggests that narrative change results from the elaboration and development of narrative exceptions to a client’s core problematic self-narrative. The...

Antioxidant properties of A. ponderosa cultures and antiproliferative effect ag...

Mushrooms are appreciated, not only for texture and flavor but also for their chemical and nutritional properties. They have been reported as therapeutic foods that are useful in preventing diseases such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and cancer. In fact, mushrooms have become attractive as functional foods and as a source of bioactive compounds because they are rich sources of antioxidant compounds such...

New 1-Hydroxy-1,1-bisphosphonates derived from 1H-Pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine: Synt...

A number of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives, starting from 2-chloro-3-formyl pyridine, was synthesized to obtain new 1-hydroxybisphosphonates, a class of compounds with potential biological interest. Spectroscopic data were used to characterize all compounds and to identify N-1 and N-2 regioisomers, and mono- and bisphosphonates derivatives. X-ray diffractometry studies of compound 7a confirmed the propo...

Unilateral Versus Bilateral Prostatic Arterial Embolization for Lower Urinary T...

PURPOSE: This study was designed to compare baseline data and clinical outcome between patients with prostate enlargement/benign prostatic hyperplasia (PE/BPH) who underwent unilateral and bilateral prostatic arterial embolization (PAE) for the relief of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). METHODS: This single-center, ambispective cohort study compared 122 consecutive patients (mean age 66.7 years) with unila...

Embolisation of Prostatic Arteries as Treatment of Moderate to Severe Lower Uri...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the short- and medium-term results of prostatic arterial embolisation (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS: This was a prospective non-randomised study including 255 patients diagnosed with BPH and moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms after failure of medical treatment for at least 6 months. The patients underwent PAE between March 2009 and April 2012. Techni...

Prostatic Arterial Supply: Anatomic and Imaging Findings Relevant for Selective...

PURPOSE: To describe the anatomy and imaging findings of the prostatic arteries (PAs) on multirow-detector pelvic computed tomographic (CT) angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) before embolization for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a retrospective study from May 2010 to June 2011, 75 men (150 pelvic sides) underwent pelvic CT angiography and selective...

Prostatic Artery Embolization in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia:...

To evaluate the short and mid-term results of prostatic artery embolization in patients with benign prostatic embolization. Retrospective study between March 2009 and June 2011 with 103 patients (mean age 66.8 years, 50-85) that met our inclusion criteria with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. The clinical outcome was evaluated by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), I...

Production of agaro- and carra-oligosaccharides by partial acid hydrolysis of g...

Agaro- and carra-oligosaccharides were produced by partial acid hydrolysis of commercial agarose and kappa-carrageenan. Di- and tetrasaccharides were purified by gel filtration chromatography and characterized by NMR (1D and 2D) spectroscopy and ESIMS. The following oligosaccharides were obtained: agarobiose, agarotetraose, kappa-carrabiose and kappa-carratetraose. Agarobiose and agarotetraose were used as stan...

Expression of TERT in precancerous gastric lesions compared to gastric cancer

The objective of this study was to determine the levels of TERT mRNA and TERT protein expression in stomach precancerous lesions such as intestinal metaplasia (IM) and gastric ulcer (GU) and compare them to gastric cancer (GC). Real-time PCR was performed to detect TERT mRNA expression levels in 35 biopsies of IM, 30 of GU, and 22 of GC and their respective normal mucosas. TERT protein was detected by immunohis...
