Airborne lidar intensity correction for mapping snow cover extent and effective grain size in mountainous terrain by Chelsea Ackroyd, Christopher P. Donahue, Brian Menounos, S. McKenzie Skiles

“…The lidar-derived grain size retrievals had a MAE of 32 µm compared to those from field spectroscopy, which translated to a 1% error in snow albedo. We found high incidence angles yielded an overcorrection in intensity that introduced a high bias in the grain size distribution and, therefore, suggest using an incidence angle threshold (40°). …”

Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulations of the HLA-G Gene by Erick C. Castelli, Luciana C. Veiga-Castelli, Layale Yaghi, Philippe Moreau, Eduardo A. Donadi

“…The HLA-G promoter region is different from the classical class I promoters, mainly because (i) it lacks regulatory responsive elements for IFN-γ and NF-κB, (ii) the proximal promoter region (within 200 bases from the first translated ATG) does not mediate transactivation by the principal HLA class I transactivation mechanisms, and (iii) the presence of identified alternative regulatory elements (heat shock, progesterone and hypoxia-responsive elements) and unidentified responsive elements for IL-10, glucocorticoids, and other transcription factors is evident. …”

Quality of life disparities among Mexican people with systemic lupus erythematosus. by Ana Laura Hernández-Ledesma, Domingo Martínez, Elizabeth Fajardo-Brigido, Talía V Román-López, Karen J Nuñez-Reza, Andrea Y Tapia-Atilano, Sandra V Vera Del Valle, Donají Domínguez-Zúñiga, Lizbet Tinajero-Nieto, Angélica Peña-Ayala, Estefania Torres-Valdez, Gabriel Frontana-Vázquez, María Gutiérrez-Arcelus, Florencia Rosetti, Sarael Alcauter, Miguel E Rentería, Alejandra E Ruiz-Contreras, Deshiré Alpízar-Rodríguez, Alejandra Medina-Rivera

“…A significant association between diagnosed patients and available rheumatologists by geographical state was observed (ρ = 0.4, p-value = 0.0259), which can be translated into restricted access to specialists. Since most of our cohort exhibited low socioeconomic status, it is important to consider them as a vulnerable population; this study settles the necessity to deepen the effects of the socioeconomic disparities, allowing to design public policies and strategies aimed to reduce Systemic Lupus Erythematosus disparities, therefore improving quality of life of Mexican people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.…”
