Treatment of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer with Different Radiation Techniques
2014
ABSTRACT Aim: To compare local control and toxicity in non melanoma skin cancer treated with electrons and Leipzig applicators. Methods: We evaluated 60 patients (pts) with non melanoma skin cancer treated using electrons and Leipzig applicators (microselectron-HDR afterloader). The lesions were: 30 basal cell cancer, 17 squamous cell cancer, 10 basosquamous cell cancer, 1 dermatofibrosarcoma, 1 keloid, 1 histiocytoma fibrosus. Median age was 54 (25-84). The lesions were localized on head and neck, except 1 in the sternum and 1 in posterior part of knee. 49 pts underwent surgery before radiation treatment with negative margin in 38 pts and positive margins in 11. 30 pts were treated with el…
Determination of metal concentrations in certified plastic reference materials after small-size autoclave and microwave-assisted digestion followed w…
2017
Abstract The digestion methods for the determination of As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Sb, Sn and Zn concentrations in plastic samples using microwave-assisted digestion (MW-AD) and small-size autoclave digestion was developed. The certified polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene certified reference materials were used in order to find digestion method working properly for several sample matrices. Efficiency of the digestion methods was evaluated by analyzing the residual carbon in digests by TOC analyzer. MW-AD using a mixture of 7 mL of HNO 3 and 3 mL of H 2 O 2 as a digestion solution resulted in excellent recoveries for As, Cd, Pb, Sb and Zn, and were in th…
La flebotomía en disputa. Una polémica entre dos escuelas médicas, Barcelona y Valencia, a finales del siglo XVI
2020
La flebotomía era una técnica profiláctica y terapéutica propia del galenismo que se empleaba para prevenir o curar diversas afecciones morbosas. Consistía en la sección de una vena periférica, generalmente del brazo, hasta conseguir la emisión de cierta cantidad de sangre. Técnica controvertida desde la Antigüedad, en la Baja Edad Media se teorizó sobre sus indicaciones, los procedimientos que debían seguirse en cada caso, los lugares corporales de su administración, los días hábiles o prohibidos, las circunstancias ambientales que debían concurrir, incluidos los influjos astrales, la frecuencia con que tenía que realizarse, la cantidad de la emisión de sangre, etc. Durante la segunda mita…
Anaerobic co-digestion of microalgae and primary sludge in an anaerobic membrane bioreactor for resource recovery (biogas and bionutrients) from urba…
2020
El consumo continuo de energía primaria ha motivado a la comunidad científica a buscar tecnologías que requieran un menor consumo de recursos y fuentes alternativas de energía renovable, que puedan sustituir a los combustibles fósiles. El cultivo de microalgas en combinación con tecnologías anaerobias surgió como una tecnología prometedora y sostenible en el ámbito del tratamiento de aguas residuales. La valorización de la biomasa de microalgas mediante la digestión anaerobia (AD) permite la producción de energía a partir de corrientes de residuos. Dado que la AD de microalgas presenta algunos inconvenientes que obstaculizan la eficiencia del proceso, se ha estudiado la co-digestión anaerob…

Primer estudio experimental sobre los efectos de la digestión en restos esqueléticos de murciélagos (Mammalia: Chiroptera)
2018
Taphonomic studies dealing with small mammals do not usually consider bats. Therefore, the degree to which bat bones are modi? ed by predation and other taphonomic agents are largely unknown. Here we present the results obtained from a set of experiments developed to approach this issue, focusing initially on the e?ect of digestion. For this purpose several bat bones and teeth were exposed to HCl and to two di?erent proteolithic enzymes. The experiments showed that bat bones are altered by acidic and enzymatic attack in a similar way as the bones of other small mammals. However, some patterns were observed in the teeth that had not been previously described in other groups. Thus, both the i…

Effect of temperature on anaerobic treatment of black water in UASB-septic tank systems
2007
The effect of northern European seasonal temperature changes and low temperature on the performance of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB)-septic tanks treating black water was studied. Three UASB-septic tanks were monitored with different operational parameters and at different temperatures. The results indicated the feasibility of the UASB-septic tank for (pre)treatment of black water at low temperatures with respect to removal of suspended solids and dissolved organic material. Inoculum sludge had little effect on COD(ss) removal, though in the start-up phase some poorly adapted inoculum disintegrated and washed out, thus requiring consideration when designing the process. Removal of …
