Factores asociados a los accidentes de motocicleta en Barcelona, España
2019
espanolResumen: Este estudio analizo los accidentes de motocicleta y ciclomotor en Barcelona (Espana). 53.190 informes de conductores de motocicleta y ciclomotor involucrados en accidentes entre los anos 2006 y 2011 fueron extraidos de la base de datos de accidentes con victimas de la Direccion General de Trafico. Estos datos fueron analizados en terminos de sexo, grupos de edad, motivo del desplazamiento, dia de la semana, infracciones de velocidad, uso del casco y lesividad, con el objetivo de estudiar las caracteristicas de los accidentes de motocicleta y ciclomotor en Barcelona y evaluar las diferencias entre conductores varones y mujeres en estos accidentes. La gravedad de los accident…
Interacción genético-ambiental en la modulación de adipocitoquinas y marcadores de inflamación en su asociación con obesidad y otros factores de ries…
2011
La obesidad es una enfermedad metabólica resultado del desequilibrio entre el consumo y el gasto energético, con el consecuente aumento de la cantidad de grasa corporal. Este aumento de grasa corporal produce un desequilibrio en la secreción de adipocitoquinas y marcadores de inflamación relacionado con diversas complicaciones clínicas asociadas con la obesidad y otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Las investigaciones de las últimas décadas han permitido un notable aumento en la compresión de los mecanismos moleculares que regulan la homeostasis de la energía, poniendo de manifiesto la importancia de los factores ambientales en la modulación de las reservas energéticas. Además, la vari…
Are Traffic Announcements Really Effective? A Systematic Review of Evaluations of Crash-Prevention Communication Campaigns
2021
Communication campaigns are commonly used in the traffic and road safety sector to raise public awareness of the importance of avoiding risky road user attitudes and behaviors. Surprisingly few of these communication campaigns evaluate their effectiveness in a formal and comprehensive manner. The core aim of the present systematic review is to identify the type of studies that evaluate the effectiveness of campaigns in this sector, in order to identify and contrast their main findings. This systematic review followed the PRISMA methodology, by means of which the relevant articles based on the search term were identified. A total of 613 indexed articles were filtered, and a final set of 27 a…
Short and medium effects on the environment of Valencia, Spain, of the Chernobyl nuclear plant accident.
1991
As a consequence of the 26 April 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant, a large amount of radioactivity was released into the atmosphere. The radioactive plume formed could be detected in practically the whole of the Northern Hemisphere a few days later. The zone most affected by the radioactive cloud over Spain was that of the Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands. In this paper, the authors examine the level of the radioactive contamination reached in various receptive media in Valencia, such as air, dry-fallout, water, soil, grass and milk samples collected in Valencia immediately after the accident. The activity levels are compared with those found during 1964 and 1965 due…
Ageing and production of the cytokines in Chernobyl clean-up workers from Latvia
2009
Ageing and production of the cytokines in Chernobyl clean-up workers from Latvia Chronic low-grade inflammation with subsequent impairment of immune system function promotes the development of age-related diseases, such as cancers, degenerative and infection diseases. It is not yet clear, if exposure to ionising radiation accelerates the aging process. The aim of the present work was to estimate the production of several cytokines by peripheral blood cells of Latvia's Chernobyl clean-up workers depending on age. ELISA was employed to determine the plasma level of sIL-1β and sIL-6 as well as level of IL-4 and TNF-α spontaneous and 24h and 96h after in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mo…
Mobility decline in old age.
2012
Mobility is important for community independence. With increasing age, underlying pathologies, genetic vulnerabilities, physiological and sensory impairments, and environmental barriers increase the risk for mobility decline. Understanding how mobility declines is paramount to finding ways to promote mobility in old age. peerReviewed

Uso delle tecniche GNSS a supporto dei rilievi di infortunistica stradale
2013
In the context of scientific research developed in recent years by DICAM, University of Palermo, a trend that is particularly interesting and multidisciplinary concerning the use of GNSS techniques in NRTK for applications of road accidents. The detections of the information relating to the left road today are conducted with standardized mode between those of local police; regarding the real relief it is realized with triangulation techniques, with the aid of manual instrumentation consists casters metrics in plastic or steel wires. The GNSS techniques in NRTK lend themselves well to this type of survey, the high information content and to manage different metadata (maps, coordinates, photo…
Accidental migration of dental implant into the nasal cavity: Spontaneous expulsion through the nose
2021
Implant migration into the nasal fossa is a rare complication and it requires extraction by anterior rhinoscopy. We report a clinical case of placement of short dental implants, fixed or intruded in the nasal fossa floor, which was aspirated by the patient and spontaneously expelled a few days later. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of spontaneously expulsion through the nasal cavity. Key words:Dental implant, nasal cavity, accidental migration.
State surveillance as a threat to personal security of individuals
2015
Changes in modern society are crucial to individuals. Article starts with analysis of control in nowadays societies. Then author tries to understand useful categories, as "Panopticon", "ban-opticon" and "synopticon". Last part is focused on stete surveillance, i.e. surveillance by American National Security Agency.
