Is the EOG Influenced by Nicotine? Relations to the EEG
1973
Cigarette smoking causes a number of effects in the human body, not the least of which may be attributed to nicotine. The problem under investigation is whether, by smoking retinal activity is influenced, and whether measureable changes are found by electrophysiological testing.
Official Statement of the Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) on Electronic Cigarettes and IQOS®.
2019
The use of novel tobacco products, particularly the electronic cigarette (EC) and partial tobacco combustion devices (HnB systems: Heat not Burn), has increased exponentially, particularly among adolescents and young people. The health authorities and scientific societies have shown concern about issues surrounding safety and effectiveness (as a method of smoking cessation). A study of the available scientific evidence has concluded that the safety of the vapor or fumes inhaled by the users of these devices cannot be guaranteed. Contradictory results from various clinical trials and meta-analyses also mean that these devices cannot be recommended for their effectiveness in cessation, especi…
EMAS position statement: Predictors of premature and early natural menopause.
2019
Simoncini, Tommaso/0000-0002-2971-0079; Chung, Hsin-Fang/0000-0003-3261-5942; Mishra, Gita/0000-0001-9610-5904 WOS:000468709100014 PubMed ID: 31027683 Introduction: While the associations of genetic, reproductive and environmental factors with the timing of natural menopause have been extensively investigated, few epidemiological studies have specifically examined their association with premature (< 40 years) or early natural menopause (40-45 years). Aim: The aim of this position statement is to provide evidence on the predictors of premature and early natural menopause, as well as recommendations for the management of premature and early menopause and future research.

Implicación de los microARNs en la hipertensión pulmonar idiopática. Regulación farmacológica
2014
La hipertensión pulmonar (HP) es un desorden complejo que se caracteriza por un aumento progresivo de la presión arterial pulmonar, ocasionado por el remodelado de las arterias pulmonares de pequeño calibre, que origina un aumento de resistencias pulmonares y como consecuencia sobrecarga y fallo del ventrículo derecho que puede llevar al fallecimiento del paciente. La Organización mundial de la salud la clasifica en 5 grupos, en nuestro estudio nos hemos centrado en el grupo I, que se caracteriza por la afección de los vasos pulmonares de pequeño calibre, con una presión arterial pulmonar (PAP) media de ≥ 25 mmHg y ausencia de causas secundarias, este así mismo se subdivide en hipertensión …
Thin Film CIGS Solar Cells, Photovoltaic Modules, and the Problems of Modeling
2013
Starting from the results regarding a nonvacuum technique to fabricate CIGS thin films for solar cells by means of single-step electrodeposition, we focus on the methodological problems of modeling at cell structure and photovoltaic module levels. As a matter of fact, electrodeposition is known as a practical alternative to costly vacuum-based technologies for semiconductor processing in the photovoltaic device sector, but it can lead to quite different structural and electrical properties. For this reason, a greater effort is required to ensure that the perspectives of the electrical engineer and the material scientist are given an opportunity for a closer comparison and a common language.…
Laser Beam Induced Current measurements on Dye Sensitized Solar Cells and thin film CIG(S,SE)2 modules
2017
Calculating the efficiency of a solar cell depends on a precise knowledge of its area. Indeed, the photoresponse uniformity is essential to improve the manufacturing process. In this work we report on Laser Beam Induced Current measurements performed on CIG(S,Se)2 modules and Dye Sensitized Solar Cells. These measurements, performed via a green and a red HeNe lasers both operating at an optical irradiance of 1 Sun, allowed to obtain an accurate photoresponse map of the specimens and highlighted the non-uniformities with a spatial resolution of 400 μm and 80 μm, respectively.
Considerazioni Critiche e di Prospettiva sulle Misure Provvisorie della Corte Internazionale Di Giustizia nel Caso Gambia c. Myanmar
2021
L’ordinanza adottata dalla Corte internazionale di giustizia il 23 gennaio 2020, in risposta alla richiesta di misure provvisorie presentata nell’ambito della controversia Gambia c. Myanmar e relativa alla presunta violazione della Convenzione per la prevenzione e la repressione del delitto di genocidio, contiene diversi spunti interessanti che, probabilmente, incideranno sulla prosecuzione del giudizio. Il presente scritto esamina le questioni procedurali e sostanziali che emergono dalla medesima. Quanto agli aspetti procedurali, ci si soffermerà, in particolare, sul locus standi dinnanzi alla Corte di uno Stato non direttamente leso da violazioni di obblighi erga omnes partes e sulle pros…
Effects of E-Cigarette Exposure on Prenatal Life and Childhood Respiratory Health: A Review of Current Evidence
2021
In the last decade, widespread use of E-cigarettes (EC) has occurred all over the world. Whereas, a large amount of evidence on harm to children from conventional cigarette exposure is available, data on health effects in this population throughout different vulnerability windows are still a matter of concern. Exposure to EC during pregnancy may compromise placental function, resulting in fetal structural abnormalities. Specifically, this may cause physio-pathologic changes in the developing lung, which in turn may impair respiratory health later in life. Furthermore, there is evidence that using EC can cause both short- and long-term respiratory problems in the pediatric population and the…
Serum omega-3 fatty acids are not associated with age-related macular degeneration
2012
Revue non indexée dans le JCR.; International audience; Evaluation of: Kabasawa S, Mori K, Horie-Inoue K et al. Associations of cigarette smoking but. not serum fatty acids with age-related macular degeneration in a Japanese population. Ophthalmology 118(6), 1082–1088 (2011). Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment in the elderly. in developed countries. Risk factors for AMD are classified into endogenous nonmodifiable. factors, including genetics and environmental factors such as smoking and dietary habits. Both. epidemiological and experimental studies suggest that dietary omega-3 long-chain fatty acids. would participate to prevent from the develo…
CuInSe2/Zn(S,O,OH) junction by electrochemical and chemical route for photovoltaic applications (GE 2014)
2014
Electrodeposition is a convenient technique for the development of low cost materials for photovoltaic (PV) device processing. Using a single step electrodeposition route, several groups have fabricated CIS (CuInSe) and CIGS (CuInGaSe) films. One of the most important requirements for successful application of one-step electrodeposition film formation is the ability to control composition of the deposited films and to develop polycrystalline microstructures with a low surface roughness and high sintered density.
