Ureteru akmeņu endoskopiskās ārstēšanas iespējas
2016
Ievads: Urīnakmeņu incidence pasaulē ir 1500-2000 gadījumi uz miljonu iedzīvotāju. Pēc statistikas datiem nierakmeņu izplatības rādītāji svārstās no 1% līdz 20%. Šī slimība ir novērojama pacientiem pārsvarā no 30 līdz 50 gadu vecumā. Pēc Eiropas Urologu asociācijas 2012. gada datiem nierakmeņu slimību sastop aptuveni 20% gadījumu no visām uroloģiskajām saslimšanām. Materiāli un metodes: Retrospektīvā pētījumā tika iekļauti 123 pacienti ar urolitiāzi, kuri ārstējās Paula Stradiņa klīniskā universitātes slimnīcā 4. uroloģijas nodaļā laika posmā no 2013. gada 1. janvāra līdz 2014. gada 31. decembrim. Tiek ievākti un analizēti sekojošie pacientu dati: pētījumu objekta skaits; vecums un to dzimu…

Measurement invariance of the Satisfaction with Life Scale by gender, age, marital status and educational level
2019
Introduction The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) has shown strong evidence of acceptability, reliability, validity and invariance for gender, whereas there is mixed evidence of invariance by culture and age and the literature has not explored the roles of marital status and educational level. The SWLS should be invariant by marital status and educational level to be able to compare scores between groups. We aimed to explore the invariance of the SWLS by marital status and educational level. Method A convenience sample of 726 Spanish adults participated in a survey. We tested a one-factor model using confirmatory factor analysis. We tested the configural, metric and scalar invariance of …
Association between Satisfaction with Life and Personality Types A and D in Young Women with Acne Vulgaris
2020
People with acne vulgaris report a lower level of satisfaction with life and are more frequently classified as having Type D personalities than those without acne. This research examined, for the first time, the moderating and mediating role of personality type in the relationship between acne severity and satisfaction with life. Among 300 female nursing and cosmetology students ranging in age from 19 to 24 years (M = 21.28, SD= 1.39), 150 individuals (50%) presented with symptoms of acne vulgaris (AV group), while the other 150 (50%) were categorized as controls without acne vulgaris (WAV sample). A cross-sectional study was conducted using three self-report questionnaires: The Satisfactio…
EEG Spectral Generators Involved in Motor Imagery: A swLORETA Study
2017
In order to characterize the neural generators of the brain oscillations related to motor imagery (MI), we investigated the cortical, subcortical, and cerebellar localizations of their respective electroencephalogram (EEG) spectral power and phase locking modulations. The MI task consisted in throwing a ball with the dominant upper limb while in a standing posture, within an ecological virtual reality (VR) environment (tennis court). The MI was triggered by the visual cues common to the control condition, during which the participant remained mentally passive. As previously developed, our paradigm considers the confounding problem that the reference condition allows two complementary analys…
How neurophysiological measures can be used to enhance the evaluation of remote tower solutions
2019
New solutions in operational environments are often, among objective measurements, evaluated by using subjective assessment and judgment from experts. Anyhow, it has been demonstrated that subjective measures suffer from poor resolution due to a high intra and inter-operator variability. Also, performance measures, if available, could provide just partial information, since an operator could achieve the same performance but experiencing a different workload. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate: (i) the higher resolution of neurophysiological measures in comparison to subjective ones; and (ii) how the simultaneous employment of neurophysiological measures and behavioral ones could allow a…
