Use of thermography in the diagnosis of pressure ulcers category I: A protocol proposal
2016
ressure ulcers (PU) category I are defined by intact skin with non-blanchable erythema of a localized area, usually over a bony prominence. Although they are often underdiagnosed, they may indicate “at risk” persons. There are available different procedures to diagnose pressure ulcers category I, such as but these methods can produce a misdiagnosis. Infrared thermal imaging may be helpful to resolve his conflict. We propose a protocol to observational and prospective study for the diagnosis of PU category I using thermography. Sin financiación No data (2016) UEV
Ohmic drop of Prussian-blue/graphite+epoxy electrodes
1999
Abstract Ohmic drop effects on the voltammogram shape of the Prussian-blue⇌Everitt’s salt system have been studied by considering the electroactive film model. As the uncompensated resistance varies, the experimental characteristic curve parameters also varies. A dependence of the voltammograms with the graphite proportion was found related with the ohmic drop due to the composite electrodes. The optimal graphite proportion to obtain a good faradaic-to-charge current ratio was 62% in weight which coincides with the second percolation threshold. The ohmic overpotential, which relates the ohmic drop with the electrochemical magnitudes, is also minimum at this proportion.
Chronoamperometry of prussian blue films on ITO electrodes: Ohmic drop and film thickness effect
1999
Abstract The chronoamperograms associated with the reduction of prussian blue films deposited onto indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes to the Everitt’s salt form, are influenced by the ohmic drop effect. These chronoamperometric curves have been simulated by means of a numerical finite difference model which is able to explain their shape and their dependence on the thickness of the film and on the uncompensated resistance. An analytical expression which describes the dependence of current against time at initial times considering the ohmic drop effect has also been proved when applied to these chronoamperometric curves at short times.
INTERVENCIÓN PSICOSOCIAL EN ESPACIOS DE ALTA DIVERSIDAD EXPERIENCIA INTERCULTURAL Y BUENA PRAXIS
2021
espanolPsychosocial interventional approaches in reducing intergroup biases can be divided into two areas: intragroup and intergroup. The former includes work with counterstereotypespecimens (Plant et al., 2009), strategies based on cognitive dissonance (Festinger, 1957, cited in Rodriguez, 2019) and the promotion of empathy (Galinsky & Moskowitz, 2000; Stephan & Finlay, 1999). Intergroup strategies are those based on the contact hypothesis (Allport, 1954, cited in Rodriguez, 2019) and those based on the theory of social categorization or sociocognitive strategies (Tajfel & Turner, 1979). The research was ascribed to the interventional research model proposed by Rothman and Thomas (1994), c…
Migration history and risk of psychosis: results from the multinational EU-GEI study.
2022
The European Network of National Schizophrenia Networks Studying Gene-Environment Interactions (EU-GEI) Project was funded by grant agreement Health-F2-2010-241909 (Project EU-GEI) from the European Community’s Seventh Framework programme.
Management of severe asthma during the first lockdown phase of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: Tips for facing the second wave.
2022
SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has contributed to implement telemedicine, allowing clinicians to follow the patient remotely, therefore minimizing the risk of any exposure to positive COVID-19 patients. We summarize the approaches adopted to treat and monitor severe asthmatic patients during the lockdown phase of the pandemic. Our experience supports the strategy that every effort should be made to minimize patient contact with the health-care system, planning a pathway that allows patients to receive appropriate medical care and continue the biological therapies, thus preventing the loss of disease control and acute severe exacerbations.
Publisher Correction: X-Ray Nanotomography of Individual Pulp Fibre Bonds Reveals the Effect of Wall Thickness on Contact Area
2020
Fibre bonds play an essential role in various properties of paper. Much research has focused on their strength, but the determination of the actual contact area also provides a challenge. Many of the research methods rely on optical tools, which are restricted by the wavelength of light that is utilised. Novel X-ray computed tomography devices utilise X-rays in studying the inner structure of materials, and surpass the optical methods in terms of resolution, allowing detection of even smaller details and variations in distance between the fibres in the bond intersection area. X-ray nanotomography was used to image 26 individual cellulose fibre bonds made of springwood and summerwood fibres …
Star calculus on Jacobi manifolds
2002
Abstract We study the Gerstenhaber bracket on differential forms induced by the two main examples of Jacobi manifolds: contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds. Moreover, we obtain explicit expressions of the generating operators and the derivations on the algebra of multivector fields. We define star operators for contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds and we study some of its properties.
Heisenberg quasiregular ellipticity
2016
Following the Euclidean results of Varopoulos and Pankka--Rajala, we provide a necessary topological condition for a sub-Riemannian 3-manifold $M$ to admit a nonconstant quasiregular mapping from the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. As an application, we show that a link complement $S^3\backslash L$ has a sub-Riemannian metric admitting such a mapping only if $L$ is empty, the unknot or Hopf link. In the converse direction, if $L$ is empty, a specific unknot or Hopf link, we construct a quasiregular mapping from $\mathbb{H}$ to $S^3\backslash L$. The main result is obtained by translating a growth condition on $\pi_1(M)$ into the existence of a supersolution to the $4$-harmonic…
