Adaptación cultural y estandarización terminológica en la traducción médica: desafíos y estrategias en contextos del español latinoamericano
Este estudio responde a la pregunta por cómo equilibrar la estandarización terminológica internacional con la adaptación cultural necesaria para garantizar la eficacia comunicativa de los textos médicos latinoamericanos. A partir del análisis de guías de la Organización Mundial de la Salud y materiales de salud pública de México, Colombia y Argentina, se identificaron variaciones léxicas y conflictos culturales, como el uso de metáforas bélicas en textos epidemiológicos. Con este fin se construyó un corpus de 150 textos y 150 términos clave y se describieron las técnicas de análisis bidimensional: funcionalista y variacionista. Los resultados subrayan la necesidad de colaboración interdisciplinaria y del uso de herramientas terminológicas regionales, y aporta un marco práctico para mejorar la comunicación intercultural y promover la equidad médica en América Latina.

Resting-state fMRI in the Human Connectome Project
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rfMRI) allows one to study functional connectivity in the brain by acquiring fMRI data while subjects lie inactive in the MRI scanner, and taking advantage of the fact that functionally related brain regions spontaneously co-activate. rfMRI is one of the two primary data modalities being acquired for the Human Connectome Project (the other being diffusion MRI). A key objective is to generate a detailed in vivo mapping of functional connectivity in a large cohort of healthy adults (over 1000 subjects), and to make these datasets freely available for use by the neuroimaging community. In each subject we acquire a total of 1h of whole-brain rfMRI data at 3T, with a spatial resolution of 2×2×2mm and a temporal resolution of 0.7s, capitalizing on recent developments in slice-accelerated echo-planar imaging. We will also scan a subset of the cohort at higher field strength and resolution. In this paper we outline the work behind, and rationale for, decisions taken regarding the rfMRI data acquisition protocol and pre-processing pipelines, and present some initial results showing data quality and example functional connectivity analyses.
•The Human Connectome Project is mapping brain connectivity in vivo in detail.•Resting-state fMRI (rfMRI) is a major modality in the Human Connectome Project.•We describe rfMRI acquisition and analysis protocols for the HCP.

Parameters of disavowal : colonial representation in South Korean cinema
\"The colonial experience of the twentieth century from 1910 to 1945 shaped the culture and identity of Korea, yet the manner in which South Korean postcolonial cinema depicts this troubling past has not received sufficient scholarly attention. Parameters of Disavowal seeks to break this hiatus. It approaches the subject of the colonial past in South Korean cinema as a particular kind of postcolonial knowledge production that responds to the repercussions of Cold War geopolitics while also subscribing to the precept of anticolonial nationalism. It advances beyond manifest readings of anticolonial messages by examining how postcolonial cinema not only posits, but also constructs Korean national history through disavowals and elisions of the very past they wish to represent. In particular, this book focuses on how South Korean films have created ways of seeing and imagining the colonial past by privileging certain Korean sites as spaces generating unique meanings and values contrary to the assumed total domination of the colonial power. These films thereby inscribe colonial power within parameters of disavowal, ultimately rendering it delimited, incomplete, and flawed. This unique cinematic mode of visualization, the author argues, has shaped historical thinking about Korea's colonial past and demands further investigation of the relationship between politics and aesthetics in cinema\"--Provided by publisher.

HDL in sepsis – risk factor and therapeutic approach
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a key component of circulating blood and plays essential roles in regulation of vascular endothelial function and immunity. Clinical data demonstrate that HDL levels drop by 40-70% in septic patients, which is associated with a poor prognosis. Experimental studies using Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoAI) null mice showed that HDL deficient mice are susceptible to septic death, and overexpressing ApoAI in mice to increase HDL levels protects against septic death. These clinical and animal studies support our hypothesis that a decrease in HDL level is a risk factor for sepsis, and raising circulating HDL levels may provide an efficient therapy for sepsis. In this review, we discuss the roles of HDL in sepsis and summarize the efforts of using synthetic HDL as a potential therapy for sepsis.
