“…Little is known about the effect of sunlight on calcium carbonate deposition in mollusc shells. However, research has revealed the importance of vitamin D, which can be synthesized by exposure to sunlight, on calcium absorption for bone health in humans and other vertebrates (Blunt and Cowan, 1930;Mark et al, 2008;Webb and Holick, 1988;Wolff et al, 2008), and on spicule formation in the gorgonian coral, Leptogorgia virgulata (Kingsley et al, 2001). The effect of pressure on shell morphology of quagga mussels also has not been examined but has been shown to affect growth and normal development of the blue mussel, M. edulis, except at a low temperature of 5°C (Mestre et al, 2009).…”

SUMMARYThe invasive zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) has quickly colonized shallow-water habitats in the North American Great Lakes since the 1980s but the quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) is becoming dominant in both shallow and deep-water habitats. While quagga mussel shell morphology differs between shallow and deep habitats, functional causes and consequences of such difference are unknown. We examined whether quagga mussel shell morphology could be induced by three environmental variables through developmental plasticity. We predicted that shallow-water conditions (high temperature, food quantity, water motion) would yield a morphotype typical of wild quagga mussels from shallow habitats, while deep-water conditions (low temperature, food quantity, water motion) would yield a morphotype present in deep habitats. We tested this prediction by examining shell morphology and growth rate of quagga mussels collected from shallow and deep habitats and reared under common-garden treatments that manipulated the three variables. Shell morphology was quantified using the polar moment of inertia. Of the variables tested, temperature had the greatest effect on shell morphology. Higher temperature (~18-20°C) yielded a morphotype typical of wild shallow mussels regardless of the levels of food quantity or water motion. In contrast, lower temperature (~6-8°C) yielded a morphotype approaching that of wild deep mussels. If shell morphology has functional consequences in particular habitats, a plastic response might confer quagga mussels with a greater ability than zebra mussels to colonize a wider range of habitats within the Great Lakes.

RESUMENIntroducción: la sarcopenia hace referencia a la disminución de la masa y fuerza muscular relacionada con los mecanismos del envejecimiento y genera un compromiso funcional de alto costo, por lo tanto la presente revisión describe su tratamiento actual. Metodología de búsqueda: se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos Pubmed, Cochrane, LILACS, SciELO y el motor de búsqueda Google Scholar, seleccionándose 140 artículos para revisión de los cuales 48 artículos originales y 50 revisiones fueron referenciados. Discusión: como tratamiento en las personas de edad, se recomienda la ingesta de al menos 1,2 g/kg de proteína al día, acompañada de un aporte suficiente de micronutrientes y ocasionalmente de suplementos proteicos. Los programas de entrenamiento de fuerza en personas mayores es actualmente un método útil para la misma. El uso de fármacos debe ser evaluado individualmente.

Methodology: a bibliographic search was carried out in Pubmed, Cochrane, LILACS, SciELO and Google Scholar databases, selecting 140 articles to be reviewed of which 48 original articles and 50 reviews were referenced. Discussion: as a treatment for sarcopenia in elderly population, it is recommended to take at least 1.2 g/kg of protein per day, accompanied by a sufficient supply of micronutrients and occasional protein supplements. Strength training programs in older people is currently a useful method to combat this condition. The use of drugs should be evaluated individually. Conclusions: to prevent and treat sarcopenia, adequate nutrition and resistance exercise are the main pillars of treatment. MÉD.UIS. 2017;30(2):71-81.

Allergic rhinitis is a common condition affecting 5 to 40% of general population and its prevalence is increasing. It is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation of nasal mucosa. As per recent studies, there is an association between serum vitamin D levels and allergic rhinitis status. Vitamin D has major role in the regulation of calcium metabolism. In addition to this, it also has a number of immunological effects and takes part in immunomodulation, which can significantly affect the outcome of allergic responses like in allergic rhinitis. Aims and objectives:To establish the correlation between vitamin D3 serum levels and allergic rhinitis. Materials and methods:Vitamin D levels were assessed in 23 patients with allergic rhinitis diagnosed clinically by allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma 2008 criteria and results were compared with vitamin D status in the normal population of same region. Results:The levels of serum vitamin D levels were significantly low in the patients of allergic rhinitis. Conclusion:Measuring of serum levels of vitamin D could be considered in the routine assessment of patients with allergic rhinitis.
