Objective: To assess how these characteristics impact management practices and the strat...

This study analyzed the financial returns of stock market companies comprising the General Stock Price Index in Chile in two economic cycles (2007-2011 and 2014-2018) and their relationship with the assumed diversification strategy. The sample consists of a panel data of 65 companies for the case of the economic recession cycle (2007-2011) and 52 c...

This work analyzes the evolution of scientific research on "boards of directors" or so-called "directories" and their relationship with "financial results of companies". It proposes a bibliometric analysis based on magazines indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) until the year 2019, allowing to evidence the relevance it has had for companies and the...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a global health threat with the potential to cause severe disease manifestations in the lungs. Although COVID-19 has been extensively characterized clinically, the factors distinguishing SARS-CoV-2 from other respiratory...

The C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 17 (CXCL17) is chemotactic for myeloid cells, exhibits bactericidal activity, and exerts anti-viral functions. This chemokine is constitutively expressed in the respiratory tract, suggesting a role in lung defenses. However, little is known about the participation of CXCL17 against relevant respiratory pathogens in...

BackgroundCXCL17 is chemotactic for myeloid cells, exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal activity, and is expressed in mucosal tissues. This chemokine is constitutively expressed in the respiratory tract, suggesting a role for CXCL17 in lung defenses. However, little is known about the possible participation of CXCL17 during respiratory infections i...

Three different glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists reduce cardiovascular outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk with high glycated haemoglobin A 1c (HbA 1c) concentrations. We assessed the effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist dulaglutide on major adverse cardiovascular events when added to the existing an...

Background: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists differ in chemical structure, duration of action, and in their effects on clinical outcomes. The cardiovascular effects of once-weekly albiglutide in type 2 diabetes are unknown. We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of albiglutide in preventing cardiovascular death, myocardial infarcti...
