TL;DR: The authors considerar el papel del maestro and como las emociones -tanto propias como de los estudiantes-, deben ser tomadas en cuenta en su acto pedagogico; por ultimo se considerara la relacion entre emocions and estilos de aprendizaje.
Abstract: Dentro del proceso educativo, se ha tendido a privilegiar los aspectos cognitivos por encima de los emocionales. Incluso para muchos estos dos aspectos deben ser considerados por separado; sin embargo esto no es conveniente si se pretende lograr el desarrollo integral del educando.Para poder incorporar los aspectos emocionales en el proceso educativo se debe caracterizar en que consisten lasemociones, como a partir de estas surge la educacion emocional y que papel juega esta dentro de dicho proceso.A su vez, se debe considerar el papel del maestro y como las emociones -tanto propias como de los estudiantes-, deben ser tomadas en cuenta en su acto pedagogico; por ultimo se considerara la relacion entre emociones y estilos de aprendizaje.

TL;DR: It is concluded that BaP1 induces in vivo a marked leukocytes influx, which parallels an increased number of these cells in the blood, and is associated to the expression of specific leukocyte adhesion molecules and release of chemotactic inflammatory cytokines.

TL;DR: The study of the effects of SVMP on the ECM is an open field of research which may bring a renewed understanding of snake venom-induced pathology and results in the release of ECM-derived biologically-active peptides that exert diverse actions in the tissue.
Abstract: Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) affect the extracellular matrix (ECM) in multiple and complex ways. Previously, the combination of various methodological platforms, including electron microscopy, histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot, has allowed a partial understanding of such complex pathology. In recent years, the proteomics analysis of exudates collected in the vicinity of tissues affected by SVMPs has provided novel and exciting information on SVMP-induced ECM alterations. The presence of fragments of an array of ECM proteins, including those of the basement membrane, has revealed a complex pathological scenario caused by the direct action of SVMPs. In addition, the time-course analysis of these changes has underscored that degradation of some fibrillar collagens is likely to depend on the action of endogenous proteinases, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), synthesized as a consequence of the inflammatory process. The action of SVMPs on the ECM also results in the release of ECM-derived biologically-active peptides that exert diverse actions in the tissue, some of which might be associated with reparative events or with further tissue damage. The study of the effects of SVMP on the ECM is an open field of research which may bring a renewed understanding of snake venom-induced pathology.

TL;DR: The results show that NIBS is associated with gains in fine motor performance in chronic stroke patients and healthy subjects, which supports the effects of NIBS on motor learning and encourages investigation to optimize their effects in clinical and research settings.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine whether non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques improve fine motor performance in stroke. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, SciELO and OpenGrey for randomized clinical trials on NIBS for fine motor performance in stroke patients and healthy participants. We computed Hedges' g for active and sham groups, pooled data as random-effects models and performed sensitivity analysis on chronicity, montage, frequency of stimulation and risk of bias. Twenty-nine studies (351 patients and 152 healthy subjects) were reviewed. Effect sizes in stroke populations for transcranial direct current stimulation and repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation were 0.31 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.08-0.55; P = 0.010; Tau2 , 0.09; I2 , 34%; Q, 18.23; P = 0.110] and 0.46 (95% CI, 0.00-0.92; P = 0.05; Tau2 , 0.38; I2 , 67%; Q, 30.45; P = 0.007). The effect size of non-dominant healthy hemisphere transcranial direct current stimulation on non-dominant hand function was 1.25 (95% CI, 0.09-2.41; P = 0.04; Tau2 , 1.26; I2 , 93%; Q, 40.27; P < 0.001). Our results show that NIBS is associated with gains in fine motor performance in chronic stroke patients and healthy subjects. This supports the effects of NIBS on motor learning and encourages investigation to optimize their effects in clinical and research settings.
