Predicting mortality with biomarkers: a population-based prospective cohort study for elderly Costa Ricans
(Population Health Metrics 10(1), 2012)
Background: Little is known about adult health and mortality relationships outside high-income nations, partly
because few datasets have contained biomarker data in representative populations. Our objective is to ...
Epidemiología descriptiva del cáncer de mama y del cuello de útero en Costa Rica
(1987-05)
Se estudia la mortalidad e incidencia del cáncer de mama y cuello útero en Costa Rica y se las compara con datos de mujeres blancas de los Estados Unidos de América. La mortalidad por cáncer de mama en Costa Rica muestra ...
Resultados de la categorización de una muestra de pacientes con diagnóstico de egreso de esquizofrenia
(Acta Médica Costarricense, abril-junio 2002, vol 44 (2), 2002-04)
La esquizofrenia es una enfermedad que afecta aproximadamente al 1% de la población mundial. Es

Association of serum pepsinogen with atrophic body gastritis in Costa Rica
(Clinical and Experimental Medicine 6 p.72-78, 2006-05-26)
Abstract Individuals with atrophic gastritis (AG), especially atrophic body gastritis (ABG), are at increased risk of developing gastric cancer. Serum concentrations of pepsinogens (PG) have been proposed as markers for ...
Association of interleukin-1B and interleukin-1RN polymorphisms with gastric cancer in a high-risk population of Costa Rica
(Clinical and Experimental Medicine 5 p.169-176, 2005-09-13)
Several risk factors have been associated with gastric cancer, among them Helicobacter pylori infection. This bacterium yields inflammation, the degree of which depends on the bacterial strain and the severity of the host ...
Erradicación de Helicobacter pylori mediante triple terapia (amoxicilina, claritromicina y omeprazole), en pacientes del Hospital Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia
(Acta Medica Costarricense ; 45 (2) p. 57-61, 2003-03)
Justificación y objetivo: H. pylori es un factor importante en el desarrollo de diversos tipos de patologías gástricas como: gastritis crónica, úlcera péptica, adenocarcinoma tipo intestinal y linfoma. Erradicar la infección ...
Individual differences in the immobility behavior in juvenile and adult rats are associated with monoaminergic neurotransmission and with the expression of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 in the nucleus accumbens
(Behavioural Brain Research, Vol. 252. pp. 77-87, 2013)
The study of individual differences provides an important methodological approach to analyze the
neurobehavioral spectrum of a given cohort in order to understand brain function and disease. Based
on immobility time in ...
Individual Differences In The Forced Swimming Test And The Effect Of Environmental Enrichment: Searching For An Interaction
(Neuroscience 265(1):95-107, 2014-02-05)
Animals with low and high immobility in the forced
swimming test (FST) differ in a number of neurobehavioral
factors. A growing body of evidence suggests that the exposure
to enriched environments mediates a number ...
Individual differences in the forced swimming test and neurochemical kinetics in the rat brain
(Physiology & Behavior 126(1):60-69, 2014-02-08)
Individual differences in the forced swimming test (FST) could be associatedwith differential temporal dynamics
of gene expression and neurotransmitter activity. We tested juvenile male rats in the FST and classified ...
