Reservoir characteristics of Mainz pouch studied in animal model

1993

In a canine model of the Mainz pouch, intracavitary pressure and compliance were measured during instillation of isosmotic and hyperosmotic (900 mmol/kg water) solutions of saline. Wall properties of small- and large-bowel segments of the pouch were assessed individually by sonomicrometry. Intraluminal pressures increased more steeply during filling with hyperosmotic solution, resulting in reduced distensibility of small- and large-bowel segments. Additionally, instillation of the hyperosmotic solution resulted in increased amplitudes and frequency of intracavitary pressure waves. The results indicate that this was the result of a combination of intensified bowel contractions and an increas…

Compliance and non-compliance with a superordinate directive document

2012

Published version of an article in the journal: Public Organization Review. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11115-012-0206-7 We report a study of how a Norwegian regional health care agency directive document was complied with at the subordinate hospital level. We found tight coupling for the activity and budget requirements and loose coupling and decoupling for the other requirements in the document. Furthermore, rather than pursuing their own self- and group interests the hospital actors held an overall effectiveness logic.

2019

Aims The aim of this study was to determine whether the Joint European Societies guidelines on secondary cardiovascular prevention are followed in everyday practice. Design A cross-sectional ESC-EORP survey (EUROASPIRE V) at 131 centres in 81 regions in 27 countries. Methods Patients (<80 years old) with verified coronary artery events or interventions were interviewed and examined ≥6 months later. Results A total of 8261 patients (females 26%) were interviewed. Nineteen per cent smoked and 55% of them were persistent smokers, 38% were obese (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2), 59% were centrally obese (waist circumference: men ≥102 cm; women ≥88 cm) while 66% were physically active <30 min 5…

Long-term positive airway pressure therapy is associated with reduced total cholesterol levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea : data from t…

2020

Background and aim: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for dyslipidemia. The current study examined the effects of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on lipid status in the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA). Methods: The prospective cohort study enrolled 1564 OSA subjects (74% male, mean age 54 ± 11y, body mass index (BMI) 32.7 ± 6.6 kg/m2 and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) 40.3 ± 24.4 n/h) undergoing PAP therapy for at least three months (mean 377.6 ± 419.5 days). Baseline and follow-up total cholesterol (TC) from nine centers were analyzed. Repeated measures and logistic regression tests (adjusted for age, sex, weight changes, lipid lowering medication, PAP …

Cognitive Structuring and Its Cognitive-Motivational Determinants as an Explanatory Framework of the Fear-Then-Relief Social Influence Strategy

2017

According to the fear-then-relief technique of social influence, people who experience anxiety whose source is abruptly withdrawn usually respond positively to various requests and commands addressed to them. This effect is usually explained by the fact that fear invokes a specific program of action, and that when the source of this emotion is suddenly and unexpectedly removed, the program is no longer operative, but the person has not yet invoked a new program. This specific state of disorientation makes compliance more likely. In this paper, an alternative explanation of the fear-then-relief effect is offered. It is assumed that the rapid change of emotions is associated with feelings of …

La responsabilidad penal de los partidos políticos

2019

En el año 2010, el legislador español introdujo en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas. Si bien, decidió excluir de la misma a los partidos políticos, entre otros sujetos colectivos. Posteriormente, en 2012, la situación fue revertida, de forma que los partidos quedaban sometidos al régimen de responsabilidad penal previsto en los arts. 31 bis y ss. CP. Con todo, el dudoso encaje constitucional y las dificultades técnico-jurídicas que parece comportar la aplicación de dicho sistema al caso de los partidos se erigen a priori como los principales escollos a sortear. Así pues, el presente trabajo constituye un análisis enfocado, principalmente, al e…

Nuevos desafíos contractuales: elementos y naturaleza (de servicios) de las relaciones de compliance y de data monitoring

2022

Determinados ordenamientos especiales han propiciado la creación de nuevas relaciones profesionales carentes de regulación en el ordenamiento jurídico-privado: la relación de «Compliance» y la de «data monitoring». La primera deriva de las reformas del Código Penal (2010 y 2015) con el establecimiento «ex novo» de la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas y la necesidad de un órgano de supervisión, vigilancia y control que establezca medidas idóneas para prevenir los delitos (art. 31 bis CP) —oficial de cumplimiento normativo o «compliance officer»—. La segunda, del marco jurídico impuesto por el Reglamento (UE) 2016/679 de 27 de abril de 2016 (en adelante RGPD) (art. 37 y ss.) y l…
