Epifisiólisis femoral proxima: revisión de 44 casos

1996

Se revisan 44 niños con 47 epifisiólisis femorales proximales. Veintitrés desplazamientos fueron leves, 18 moderados y 6 severos. Todas las epifisiólisis excepto 1 se trataron quirúrgicamente. En 10 casos se fijó profilácticamente la cadera contralateral. Existió penetración articular por el implante en 17 (30%) de las 56 caderas fijadas. El seguimiento medio ha sido de 56 meses (rango: 3 a 148 meses). Los resultados, según criterios clínicos y radiográficos, han sido excelentes o buenos en el 91% de los deslizamientos leves, el 77% de los moderados y el 33% de los severos. Las complicaciones fueron 2 casos de condrólisis, ambos asociados a penetración articular. En 2 (6%) de los pacientes …

Visualizing knowledge and attitude factors related to influenza vaccination of physicians

2014

To characterize groups of primary healthcare physicians according to sociodemographic data, years of professional experience and knowledge of and attitudes to influenza, and to evaluate differences between groups with respect to influenza vaccination in the 2011-2012 season.We carried out an anonymous web survey of Spanish primary healthcare physicians in 2012. Information on vaccination, and knowledge of and attitudes to influenza was collected. Multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis were used to define groups of physicians.We included 835 physicians and identified three types. Type B were physicians with low professional experience of influenza. Types A and C were physician…

Recomendación para la determinación de HER2 en cáncer de mama. Consenso nacional de la Sociedad Española de Anatomía Patológica (SEAP) y de la Socied…

2009

La identificación de los carcinomas de mama con amplificación/sobreexpresión de HER2 es crítica en la práctica clínica diaria ya que estas neoplasias requieren un tratamiento específico que incluye el uso de terapias dirigidas. Tanto las técnicas de hibridación in situ como las técnicas inmunohistoquímicas son métodos apropiados para la identificación de cánceres de mama HER2 positivos. Sin embargo, numerosos estudios, incluidos los desarrollados por la Asociación para la Garantía de Calidad en Patología de la SEAP (AGCP) y la experiencia de centros de referencia nacionales en la determinación de HER2 han puesto de manifiesto importantes problemas de reproducibilidad entre laboratorios. Por…

Synthesis of high surface area perovskite catalysts by non-conventional routes

1997

Abstract The use of rare earth-containing perovskite oxides as total oxidation catalysts faces to the difficulty of obtaining high surface area materials and the need of calcination at high temperatures for its synthesis. In this work, perovskite NdCoO3 catalysts with relatively high surface areas were synthesized at soft calcination conditions by two non-conventional routes: heteronuclear organic complexes and amorphous precursors obtained by freeze-drying of nitrates solutions. Depending on the method used, different degrees of homogeneity in the bulk distribution of the component cations, oxygen non-stoichiometry as well as surface Co/Nd atomic ratios are obtained. In this way, the synth…

First tests of the applicability of gamma-ray imaging for background discrimination in time-of-flight neutron capture measurements

2015

In this work we explore for the first time the applicability of using $\gamma$-ray imaging in neutron capture measurements to identify and suppress spatially localized background. For this aim, a pinhole gamma camera is assembled, tested and characterized in terms of energy and spatial performance. It consists of a monolithic CeBr$_3$ scintillating crystal coupled to a position-sensitive photomultiplier and readout through an integrated circuit AMIC2GR. The pinhole collimator is a massive carven block of lead. A series of dedicated measurements with calibrated sources and with a neutron beam incident on a $^{197}$Au sample have been carried out at n_TOF, achieving an enhancement of a factor…
