Trans-visceral migration of retained surgical gauze as a cause of intestinal obstruction: a case report
2008
AbstractIntroductionA retained surgical sponge in the abdomen is uncommon although it is likely that this finding is underreported in the medical literature. The intravisceral migration of retained surgical gauze is even rarer, as demonstrated by the very few cases reported.Case presentationThree years after undergoing anterior resection of the rectum, a 75-year-old man presented with symptoms of small bowel obstruction. Plain abdominal radiography and CT showed a radio-opaque marker; a foreign body was suspected, probably a piece of retained surgical gauze. An ileotomy of about 5 cm. was performed to confirm this diagnosis and remove the gauze.ConclusionAlthough rare, retained gauze in the…
New insights on Neolithic food and mobility patterns in Mediterranean coastal populations
2020
OBJECTIVES The aims of this research are to explore the diet, mobility, social organization, and environmental exploitation patterns of early Mediterranean farmers, particularly the role of marine and plant resources in these foodways. In addition, this work strives to document possible gendered patterns of behavior linked to the neolithization of this ecologically rich area. To achieve this, a set of multiproxy analyses (isotopic analyses, dental calculus, microremains analysis, ancient DNA) were performed on an exceptional deposit (n = 61) of human remains from the Les Breguieres site (France), dating to the transition of the sixth to the fifth millennium BCE. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sa…
Exotic foods reveal contact between South Asia and the Near East during the second millennium BCE
2020
Aunque el papel clave del comercio a larga distancia en la transformación de las cocinas en todo el mundo está bien documentado desde al menos la época romana, la prehistoria del comercio de alimentos euroasiático es menos visible. Con el fin de arrojar luz sobre la transformación de las cocinas del Mediterráneo oriental durante la Edad del Bronce y la Edad del Hierro Temprana, analizamos los microrestos y las proteínas conservadas en el cálculo dental de individuos que vivieron durante el segundo milenio a. Nuestros resultados proporcionan evidencia clara del consumo de alimentos básicos esperados, como cereales (Triticeae), sésamo ( Sesamum ) y dátiles ( Phoenix ). Además, informamos evid…

Abstract. Characterization of daytime sources of nitrous acid (HONO) is crucial to understand atmospheric oxidation and radical cycling in the planetary boundary layer. HONO and numerous other atmospheric trace constituents were measured on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus during the CYPHEX (CYprus PHotochemical EXperiment) campaign in summer 2014. Average volume mixing ratios of HONO were 35 pptv (±25 pptv) with a HONO ∕ NOx ratio of 0.33, which was considerably higher than reported for most other rural and urban regions. Diel profiles of HONO showed peak values in the late morning (60 ± 28 pptv around 09:00 local time) and persistently high mixing ratios during daytime (45 ± 18 pptv), i…
Geographies of Mediterranean
2020
The article aims to interpret Mediterranean dissonances by reading the boundaries through three theoretical-methodological ways: the metaphor of existence, the concept of community and that of the diaspora. In a Mediterranean Sea viewed as a mobile boundary, human movements produce dissemination, identities that are not unidirectional but rather transnational; the partiality of the subjectivity that follows is an interesting way to question us. The article therefore shows how the migrations seen from the “North” are closely linked to the implementation of security devices rather than welcoming politics. Moreover, the institution, through its changing laws, creates precarious lives in the fi…
Contratación internacional de médicos/as latinoamericanos/as en Portugal y España
2015
A partir das experiências dos/as médicos/as latino-americanos/as que exercem a sua profissão em Portugal e em Espanha, o artigo busca comparar o recrutamento internacional dos/as médicos/as, o reconhecimento das qualificações para o exercício da Medicina e os processos de integração profissional no sistema de saúde português e espanhol. Para isso, foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa baseada em entrevistas em profundidade. Os resultados mostram semelhanças e divergências em cada uma destas três dimensões nos dois contextos nacionais. From the experiences of Latin American doctors who practice their profession in Portugal and Spain, the article seeks to compare the international recruit…

El Derecho internacional de las migraciones: entre la crisis y la renovación
2019
The international migration regime currently in force is manifestly insufficient for the regulation and governance of migration flows. The irreducible collision between the right of persons to leave their country and the right of States to reject the admission of migrants in its territory has led, in practice, to a vicious circle resulting in an increase in irregular migration and the multiplication of dramatic situations that hurt humanitarian feelings. In view of this situation, the United Nations promoted the adoption in January of 2019 of two instruments seeking to establish a new framework for international cooperation in this field: a Global Compact on Refugees and a Global Compact on…
Middleware for transparent TCP connection migration : masking faulty TCP-based services
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Mission critical TCP-based services create a demand for robust and fault tolerant TCP communication. Sense Intellifield monitors drill operations on rig sites offshore. Critical TCP-based services need to be available 24 hours, 7 days a week, and the service providers need to tolerate server failure. How to make TCP robust and fault tolerant without modifying existing infrastructure like existing client/server applications, services, TCP stacks, kernels, or operating systems is the motivation of this thesis. We present a new middleware approach, first of its kind, to allow TCP-based services to survi…
Anàlisi feminista de les xarxes socials de les migrants colombianes al País Valencià
2010
The results of this piece of research2 on migrant women3 are presented from a feminist approach. The research shows the current diversity in migration processes and, specifically, the key role of finding out the social practices of political migrants. The differences and similarities found in the two groups' social networks and practices are identified and compared from a social point of view, through a completely new interpretation of the concepts of economic and political migrants. This research thus aims to understand the characteristics of participative practices within the group of Colombian migrants living and taking part in two societies at the same time.
