Pacemaker therapy in premature children with high degree AV block.
1998
The smallest pacemaker pulse generator and a steroid-eluting bipolar epicardial lead were implanted in two premature children with symptomatic AV block. Stable capture threshold and high amplitude evoked response electrogram resulted in normal function of the pacemaker Autocapture algorithm, which adjusts output 0.3 V above the measured capture threshold. Autocapture had previously been used only with endocardial leads. Longer-term observation is required.
Scalp, basal epidural and intravascular far-field recordings after median nerve stimulation: evidence for a separate N18a potential
2000
Far-field somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) after median nerve stimulation were recorded from scalp- (Fz), epidural- (ED) and intravascular electrodes (basilar artery [Bas]) to study the nature of the controversial N18a component of the widespread N18 potential. In healthy volunteers frequently an N18a potential was recorded at Fz. Simultaneous Fz and ED recordings at the pontomesencephalic junction as well as Bas-recordings at the caudal basilar artery showed N18a components identical in latency and shape. With intravascular recordings the shapes differed between the top of the basilar artery and the caudal artery recordings. These findings support the existence of a separate N18a po…
Application of ultrasound as clean technology for extraction of specialized metabolites from stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.)
2022
Nettle is a highly valued medicinal plant that is still largely neglected, both in terms of nutrition and use for pharmacological purposes. Tinctures, i.e., alcoholic extracts, are becoming increasingly popular nettle products, mainly because they allow better availability of phytochemicals and their stability over a longer period of time. The production of alcoholic extracts is a chemically demanding process that is still usually carried out using conventional techniques, which have numerous drawbacks. The use of green technologies such as ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), which is characterized by high efficiency of phytochemical extraction, shorter treatment time, and a much lower en…
Laparoscopic endopelvic sacral implantation of a Brindley controller for recovery of bladder function in a paralyzed patient
2008
Background: A number of techniques are being investigated to accomplish bladder control recovery in paralyzed patients using the neurostimulation, but currently, all techniques are based on the dorsal implantation of the electrodes using a laminectomy. Methods: On 27 April 2006 we performed a laparoscopic implantation of a Finetech-Brindley bladder controller on the endopelvic sacral roots in a Th8 completely paralyzed woman who had previously undergone the removal of a Brindley controller due to an arachnoiditis after extrathecal implantation with intradural sacral deafferentation. Results: We required about 3.5 h for the entire surgical procedure; no complications occurred and the patient…

Notas sobre la flora alóctona valenciana de origen ornamental.
2005
Muchos de los neófitos detectados en los últimos años, tanto en la flora española como en la valenciana, corresponden a táxones introducidos en nuestro país con fines ornamentales, consecuencia de la creciente utilización de plantas alóctonas en jardinería.
Dynamic Community Discovery Method Based on Phylogenetic Planted Partition in Temporal Networks
2022
As most of the community discovery methods are researched by static thought, some community discovery algorithms cannot represent the whole dynamic network change process efficiently. This paper proposes a novel dynamic community discovery method (Phylogenetic Planted Partition Model, PPPM) for phylogenetic evolution. Firstly, the time dimension is introduced into the typical migration partition model, and all states are treated as variables, and the observation equation is constructed. Secondly, this paper takes the observation equation of the whole dynamic social network as the constraint between variables and the error function. Then, the quadratic form of the error function is minimized…
Camellia japonica : A phytochemical perspective and current applications facing its industrial exploitation
2022
In response to the increased popularity of medicinal plants, a number of conservation groups are recommending the investigation on poorly characterized and widely distributed species, as it is the case of camellias. In particular, Camellia japonica L. is a widespread species found in Galicia (NW Spain), where it has been largely exploited with ornamental purposes. Recent findings on its phytochemical characterization showed thousands of bioactive ingredients, mostly represented by phenolic compounds, together with terpenoids, and fatty acids. These molecules present associated biological activities, acting as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agents. This review …
Femmes, plantes et fibres. De la cueillette à l’invention de l’agriculture
2022
L’homme chasse, la femme cueille ; l’homme apporte la nourriture, la femme la prépare et la cuit. Ces idées sommaires sur la division sexuelle du travail dans les sociétés paléolithiques ont longtemps constitué la trame d’une vision hiérarchique de la distribution des tâches féminines et masculines – les activités des hommes, plus nobles, pourvoyant à l’essentiel de la subsistance du groupe, tandis que celles des femmes, accessoires, n’y contribuent que de façon mineure. De nouvelles approches les remettent désormais en question.
Ultrasound-assisted MnO2 catalyzed homolysis of peracetic acid for phenol degradation: The assessment of process chemistry and kinetics
2013
Abstract The combination of peracetic acid (PAA) and heterogeneous catalyst (MnO 2 ) was used for the degradation of phenol in an aqueous solution in the presence of ultrasound irradiation (US). As a relevant source of free radicals (e.g. OH), peracetic acid was comprehensively studied by means of electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trapping (ST) techniques with the subsequent identification of free radicals by simulation based fitting (SBF) technique. The radical reaction mechanism, where hydroxyl radical was a primary product of O O bond rupture of PAA, was established taking into account radical reactions, occurring during sonolysis. The potential barriers and the reaction heat were deter…
