Análisis de la introducción del protocolo de ahorro de sangre de cirugía cardíaca en un hospital terciario
2018
Antecedentes: En la última década, todos los sistemas de salud avanzados están implantando programas de ahorro de sangre siguiendo las recomendaciones de Sociedades Europeas y Americanas que han propuesto guías clínicas para el ahorro de sangre, siguiendo un enfoque multidisciplinar y multimodal. La reducción en el consumo lleva emparejado una reducción de complicaciones asociadas a la transfusión, mejora de resultados clínicos y reducción de costes. La cirugía cardiaca es una de las especialidades quirúrgicas con mayor riesgo hemorrágico, tanto por la intervención quirúrgica en sí misma, como por la influencia farmacológica a la cual se ve sometido el paciente en el periodo perioperatorio.…
Prototyping Crop Traits Retrieval Models for CHIME: Dimensionality Reduction Strategies Applied to PRISMA Data
2022
In preparation for new-generation imaging spectrometer missions and the accompanying unprecedented inflow of hyperspectral data, optimized models are needed to generate vegetation traits routinely. Hybrid models, combining radiative transfer models with machine learning algorithms, are preferred, however, dealing with spectral collinearity imposes an additional challenge. In this study, we analyzed two spectral dimensionality reduction methods: principal component analysis (PCA) and band ranking (BR), embedded in a hybrid workflow for the retrieval of specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area index (LAI), canopy water content (CWC), canopy chlorophyll content (CCC), the fraction of absorbed photo…
Efecto en la mejora de la amplitud articular y flexibilidad tras un programa de entrenamiento de fuerza en la tercera edad
2017
“EFECTO EN LA MEJORA DE LA AMPLITUD ARTICULAR Y FLEXIBILIDAD TRAS UN PROGRAMA DE ENTRENAMIENTO DE FUERZA EN LA TERCERA EDAD” INTRODUCCIÓN La esperanza de vida ha experimentado un considerable aumento en los últimos años, de tal forma que la población cada vez alcanza edades más avanzadas. Debido a ello, se brindan oportunidades para que el adulto mayor AM), pueda disfrutar y participar de forma activa en la sociedad. Debido a que este colectivo es cada vez más importante y el peso creciente que tiene en la sociedad, sus especificidades son motivo para que sea objeto de estudio. El hecho de envejecer conlleva una serie de aspectos negativos que limitan el estado de salud del AM. Se ha de int…
Pulsed electric field (PEF) as an efficient technology for food additives and nutraceuticals development
2020
Abstract The use of pulsed electric field (PEF) technology has been extensively investigated in the area of food pasteurization and gene transfection. In the recent years the technology has also shown promising application in the development of various plant- and microorganism-based added-value compounds. The main working principle of PEF is electroporation or electropermeabilization of cell membranes. The pretreatment of biological tissues with PEF improves mass transfer during solvent extraction of metabolites and thereby increases the extraction efficiency. Moreover, the application of PEF at lower intensity has shown to induce stress on the biological tissues that in turn improves the a…
Adulteration detection of argan oil by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry
2010
Abstract The singularity of the trace element profile of argan oil has been demonstrated by means of inductively coupled plasma optical emission measurement in combination with different chemometric approaches. The ability of multivariate analysis methods; such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), classification trees using Chi -squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) and discriminant analysis (DA) to achieve edible oils classification based on its type or variety from their elemental content have been investigated. The calculations were performed using 16 variables (contents of Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pr, Sm, Er and Bi at…
1H NMR-based metabolic profiling for evaluating poppy seed rancidity and brewing
2015
Poppy seeds are widely used in household and commercial confectionery. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the application of metabolic profiling for industrial monitoring of the molecular changes which occur during minced poppy seed rancidity and brewing processes performed on raw seeds. Both forms of poppy seeds were obtained from a confectionery company. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) was applied as the analytical method of choice together with multivariate statistical data analysis. Metabolic fingerprinting was applied as a bioprocess control tool to monitor rancidity with the trajectory of change and brewing progressions. Low molecular weight compounds were found to be…
Évolution du stress gélif et idéotypes de pois d'hiver dans le contexte de changement climatique, à une échelle régionale.
2017
11 pages; International audience; Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important crop in temperate regions for its high seed protein concentration that is particularly sensitive to abiotic stresses. The abrupt temperature increase known as the “1987/1988 temperature regime shift” that occurs over Europe is questioning how winter pea will perform in the changing climate. This study assessed the winter frost damage evolution along from 1961 to 2015 in Burgundy-Franche-Comté by using: (1) daily observed and gridded regional temperature data and (2) a validated crop winter frost stress model calibrated for pea. This study shows a global decrease of the frost stress nevertheless resulting from a subtle …
Functional principal component analysis of quantile curves
2017
Literature on functional data analysis is mainly focused on estimation of individuals curves and characterization of average dynamics. The idea underlying this proposal is to focus attention on other particular features of the distribution of the observed data, moving from mean functions towards functional quantiles. The motivating examples are functional data sets that are collections of high frequency data recorded along time. As quantiles provide information on various aspects of a time series, we propose a modelling framework for the joint estimation of functional quantiles, varying along time, and functional principal components, summarizing some common dynamics shared by the functiona…
Cortical networks show characteristic recruitment patterns after somatosensory stimulation by pneumatically evoked repetitive hand movements in newbo…
2022
Abstract Controlled assessment of functional cortical networks is an unmet need in the clinical research of noncooperative subjects, such as infants. We developed an automated, pneumatic stimulation method to actuate naturalistic movements of an infant’s hand, as well as an analysis pipeline for assessing the elicited electroencephalography (EEG) responses and related cortical networks. Twenty newborn infants with perinatal asphyxia were recruited, including 7 with mild-to-moderate hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Statistically significant corticokinematic coherence (CKC) was observed between repetitive hand movements and EEG in all infants, peaking near the contralateral sensorimotor…
Antioxidant activity of Sicilian Pistachio (Pistacia vera, L. var. Bronte) nut extracts and its bioactive components
2007
Pistacia vera L. is the only species of Pistacia genus producing edible nuts. This paper investigates the antioxidant potential of a Sicilian variety of pistachio nut by chemical as well as biological assays and measured antioxidant vitamins and a number of antioxidant polyphenols in either the hydrophilic and/or the lipophilic nut extract. In accordance with the majority of foods, the total antioxidant activity, measured as a TAA test, was much higher (50-fold) in the hydrophilic than in the lipophilic extract. Substantial amounts of total phenols were measured. The hydrophilic extract inhibited dose- dependently both the metal-dependent and -independent lipid oxidation of bovine liver mic…
