A Bayesian cost-effectiveness analysis of a telemedicine-based strategy for the management of sleep apnoea: a multicentre randomised controlled trial
2015
Background Compliance with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is essential in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), but adequate control is not always possible. This is clinically important because CPAP can reverse the morbidity and mortality associated with OSA. Telemedicine, with support provided via a web platform and video conferences, could represent a cost-effective alternative to standard care management. Aim To assess the telemedicine impact on treatment compliance, cost-effectiveness and improvement in quality of life (QoL) when compared with traditional face-to-face follow-up. Methods A randomised controlled trial was performed to compare a telemedicine-bas…
167P Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and treatment efficacy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC): A pooled analysis of 6 randomized trials
2021
New organisation for follow-up and assessment of treatment efficacy in sleep apnoea.
2019
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease, and there is an increased demand for OSA diagnosis and treatment. However, resources are limited compared with the growing needs for OSA diagnosis and management, and alternative strategies need to be developed to optimise the OSA clinical pathway. In this review, we propose a management strategy for OSA, and in general for sleep-disordered breathing, to be implemented from diagnosis to follow-up. For this purpose, the best current options seem to be: 1) networking at different levels of care, from primary physicians to specialised sleep laboratories; and 2) use of telemedicine. Telemedicine can contribute to the improved cost-ef…
Arritmias y Riesgo Cardiovascular: Diseño, Control e Investigación de una aplicación para dispositivos móviles
2017
Resumen Las Enfermedades Cardiovasculares son la principal causa de muerte en todo el mundo. Según datos de la Federación Mundial del Corazón, las enfermedades cardiovasculares y los infartos causan 17,5 millones de muertes al año, tantas como el resultado de sumar las provocadas por el SIDA, la tuberculosis, la malaria, la diabetes, el cáncer y las patologías respiratorias crónicas. La fibrilación auricular es la arritmia sostenida más frecuente. Debido a sus consecuencias clínicas potencialmente graves (insuficiencia cardiaca, embolias y deterioro cognitivo), tiene importantes implicaciones socioeconómicas y sanitarias. En el momento existe un pensamiento generalizado sobre la importancia…
PRAGMÁTICA DE LA PUNTUACIÓN Y NUEVAS TECNOLOGÍAS
2014
La puntuación ha evolucionado a lo largo de la historia, no solo en cuanto al número de signos, sino también con respecto a su función de guía en la (re)presentación y el procesamiento del texto. El objetivo del presente artículo es discutir la pragmática de la puntuación en los principales modos de comunicación mediada por ordenador. Mi propuesta consiste en considerar que las nuevas formas escritas de interacción mediada por ordenador situadas en el polo de la inmediatez comunicativa han dado lugar a un particular sistema de puntuación metarrepresentativa que compite con los códigos de puntuación tanto retórico como gramatical. Punctuation has evolved through history, not only in the numb…
Pharmaceutical potential of synthetic and natural pyrrolomycins
2015
The emergence of antibiotic resistance is currently considered one of the most important global health problem. The continuous onset of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains limits the clinical efficacy of most of the marketed antibiotics. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new antibiotics. Pyrrolomycins are a class of biologically active compounds that exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, antiproliferative, insecticidal, and acaricidal activities. In this review we focus on the antibacterial activity and antibiofilm activity of pyrrolomycins against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens…
Les pratiques pédagogiques des enseignants universitaires :
2012
In France, some studies (Boyer & Coridian, 2002; Clanet, 2001) have highlighted the heterogeneity of teaching practices at the university, especially in the first year, but don't analyze accurately the effects of this variety on the students. However, these practices are not without consequences for them (Bireaud 1990; Bellat Duru, 1995; Galinon Menelec, 1996). So it is to this reflection that is dedicated the research presented in this article. Firstly will be presented studies in France and abroad about the description of practices. The second part will focus on the effects induced by them on students. Finally, we will present an innovative viewpoint of research, on the relationship betwe…

The era of reference genomes in conservation genomics
2022
Progress in genome sequencing now enables the large-scale generation of reference genomes. Various international initiatives aim to generate reference genomes representing global biodiversity. These genomes provide unique insights into genomic diversity and architecture, thereby enabling comprehensive analyses of population and functional genomics, and are expected to revolutionize conservation genomics.
A new Northeast Asian Lynceus (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Laevicaudata) with uniquely modified thoracopods and an evaluation of DNA barcoding for clam …
2020
A new species of smooth clam shrimp (Branchiopoda: Laevicaudata) from Mongolia and China is described here based on both morphological and genetic differences. The new species, Lynceus grossipedia n. sp., has unique features, including asymmetrically modified male thoracopods (left side thoracopods III-VI), male claspers “movable finger” (=endopod) with delicate setation, and broad, bicarinate male and female rostrum. Lynceus grossipedia n. sp. is compared with the genera Paralimnetis Gurney, 1931 and Lynceiopsis Daday, 1912 and a recently described Lynceus Müller, 1776 from China, also showing modified male thoracopods. Lynceus mandsuricus Daday, 1927 is declared nomen inquirendum. DNA bar…
