An Integrated Review of the Hepatorenal Syndrome
No full textAmong the complications of cirrhosis, hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is characterized by having the worst survival rate. HRS is a disorder that involves the deterioration of kidney function caused primarily by a systemic circulatory dysfunction, but in recent years, systemic inflammation and cirrhotic cardiomyopathy have been discovered to also play an important role. The diagnosis of HRS requires to meet the new International Club of Ascites-Acute Kidney Injury (ICA-AKI) and Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute Kidney Injury (HRS-AKI) criteria after ruling out other causes of kidney injury. At the time of diagnosis, it is important to start the medical treatment as soon as possible where three types of vasoconstrictors have been recognized: vasopressin analogs (ornipressin and terlipressin), alpha-adrenergic agonists (norepinephrine and midodrine) and somatostatin analogues (octreotide); all should be combined with albumin infusion. Among them, terlipressin and albumin are the first lines of treatment in most cases, although terlipressin should be monitor closely due to its adverse events. The best treatment of choice is a liver transplant, because it is the only definitive treatment for this disease

Remarkable altitudinal range extension of <em>Eira barbara</em> Tayra (Mammalia: Mustelidae)
No full textEira barbara Tayra has been reported across its geographic range from elevations between 0-2400 m, being rare above 1200 m. We report four records of E. barbara above 2600 m, obtained by using camera trapping. These records come from Reserva Natural Chamanapamba and Bosque Protector Cerro Candelaria, both located on the province of Tungurahua, eastern slopes of the Andes of Ecuador.</p
Jen Delos Reyes
No full textProjects in this collection: Open Engagement
From http://www.jendelosreyes.com/about: Jen Delos Reyes was born in the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and educated first in its local music scene of the mid-90’s infused with the energy of Riot grrrl and DIY, and then in its university. [1] How she works today is rooted in what she learned in her formative years as a show organizer, listener, creator of zines, and band member. Graduate work at the University of Regina made the space possible for her to see her work as an organizer as a key component of her continued creative work.
Jen Delos Reyes is a \u27farmer of sorts and an artist of sorts\u27[2], educator, writer, and radical community arts organizer. She is defiantly optimistic, a friend to all birds, and proponent that our institutions can become tender and vulnerable. Her practice is as much about working with institutions as it is about creating and supporting sustainable artist-led culture.
Delos Reyes worked within Portland State University from 2008-2014 to create the first flexible residency Art and Social Practice MFA program in the United States and devised the curriculum that focused on place, engagement, and dialogue. The flexible residency program allowed for artists embedded in their communities to remain on site throughout their course of study.
She worked with the Portland Art Museum from 2009-14 on a series of programs and integrated systems that allowed artists to rethink what can happen in a museum, and reinvigorate the idea of the museum as a public space.
From 2015-2022 Delos Reyes was the Associate Director of the School of Art & Art History of the University of Illinois, Chicago’s only public research university, where she taught in the departments of Art and Museum and Exhibition Studies.
She was the Director and founder of Open Engagement, an international annual conference on socially engaged art that was active between 2007-2019 and hosted ten conferences in two countries at locations including the Queens Museum in New York. After over a decade of large scale organizing she is now focused on work on the scale of her life.
She is the author of I’m Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song: How Artists Make and Live Lives of Meaning, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Public Engagement But Were Afraid to Ask, and Defiantly Optimistic: Turning Up in a World on Fire.
Delos Reyes divides her time between Chicago, IL where she is the founder of Garbage Hill Farm, and Ithaca, NY where she is an Associate Professor of Art at Cornell University.

Activity patterns of tayra (Eira barbara) across their distribution
No full textSpecies' activity patterns are driven by the need to meet basic requirements of food, social interactions, movement, and rest, but often are influenced by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors. We used camera-trap data to describe and compare the activity patterns of the relatively poorly studied tayra (Eira barbara) across 10 populations distributed from the south of Mexico to the north of Argentina, and attempted to identify biotic or abiotic factors that may be associated with variation in level of diurnality. In a subset of sites we also aimed to document potential seasonal variation in activity. We used a kernel density estimator based on the time of independent photographic events to calculate the proportion of diurnal, crepuscular, and nocturnal activity of each population. Tayras were mostly active during diurnal periods (79.31%, 759 records), with a lower proportion of crepuscular activity (18.07%, 173 records) yet we documented some variation in patterns across the 10 study areas (activity overlap coefficient varied from Δ4 = 0.64 to Δ1 = 0.95). In northern localities, activity peaked twice during the day (bimodal) with most activity ocurring in the morning, whereas closer to the geographical equator, activity was constant (unimodal) throughout the day, peaking at midday: activity either was unimodal or bimodal in southern localities. Despite investigating multiple potential abiotic and biotic predictors, only latitude was associated with variation in the proportion of diurnal activity by tayras across its range, with increased diurnal activity closer to the equator. Seasonal comparisons in activity showed a tendency to reduce diurnality in dry versus rainy seasons, but the pattern was not consistently significant. This is the most comprehensive description of tayra activity patterns to date, and lends novel insight into the potential flexibility of the species to adapt to local conditions.Fil: Villafañe Trujillo, Álvaro José.

The author of the article presents the hypothesis that Reyes wrote El Deslinde as a philosophical proposal though it was not accepted and fully understood. However, Aspe analyzes the philosophical arguments proving its importance and its anticipationto postmodern philosophy
Los Reyes: Estado de México
No full textLa información de esta miniguía se basa en la información de Richard Edward Blanton, William Sanders, Jeffrey R. Parsons, Robert Santley y el autor.Como antecedente del sitio de Los Reyes existió un asentamiento durante la fase Coyotlatelco (600 - 800 d.C.), 500 m al oriente de la actual zona arqueológica. Al surgir Tula como centro hegemónico del altiplano (alrededor del año 800 d.C.), muchos de los asentamientos de la fase Coyotlatelco fueron abandonados y la población se reubicó en sitios nuevos como Los Reyes. Los gobernantes toltecas diseñaron un sistema de sitios con diferentes funciones y algunos debieron operar como puntos de recaudación de tributo, el cual fluía hacia la ciudad de Tula. En este gradiente donde Tula era la capital, se ha encontrado que existían diferentes tamaños de aldeas. Los Reyes era un sitio intermedio, es decir, tenía un pequeño templo alrededor del cual se organizaba el culto y la vida pública. Rodeando a éste se encontraba el asentamiento, el cual debió contar con algunos cientos de habitantes.</p
