Measurement of coagulation factors during rivaroxaban and apixaban treatment: Results from two crossover trials
2018
Abstract Background Prediction models for venous thromboembolism recurrence will likely be improved by adding levels of coagulation factors. Risk assessment is ideally performed during anticoagulant treatment, however, the influence of direct oral anticoagulants on coagulation factors is uncertain. Objective To assess the influence of rivaroxaban and apixaban on several coagulation factor levels. Methods In two crossover trials we assessed the influence of rivaroxaban and apixaban intake on factor (F)VIII, FXI and FXII‐activity and fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor (VWF:Ag), and d‐dimer levels. At three sessions with a washout period in between, blood was taken from 12 healthy male individu…
Predictability of short implants ( < 10 mm) as a treatment option for the rehabilitation of atrophic maxillae: a systematic review
2016
Background Short implants (< 10 mm) are one of the treatment options available in cases of limited vertical bone. A purpose of this paper is to evaluate the predictability of short implants as an alternative to technically molthough such implants are now widely used, there is controversy regarding their clinical reliability. There complex treatments in patients with atrophic maxillae, based on a systematic review of the literature and the analysis of the implant survival rates, changes in peri-implant bone level, and associated complications. It is postulated that short implants offer clinical results similar to those of longer implants. Material and Methods A Medline-PubMed search was made…
Reproducibility and validity of a food frequency questionnaire among pregnant women in a Mediterranean area
2013
Background: Studies exploring the role of diet during pregnancy are still scarce, in part due to the complexity of measuring diet and to the lack of valid instruments. The aim of this study was to examine the reproducibility and validity (against biochemical biomarkers) of a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in pregnant women. Methods: Participants were 740 pregnant women from a population-based birth cohort study in Valencia (INMA Study). We compared nutrient and food intakes from FFQs estimated for two periods of pregnancy (reproducibility), and compared energy-adjusted intake of several carotenoids, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C and a-tocopherol of the FFQ in the firs…
La calidad en la gestión de los Servicios Sociales Municipales: algunas experiencias de INTRESS
2011
Queremos presentar en este breve artículo dos experiencias de INTRESS en el desarrollo de buenas prácticas que puedan ayudar a la implantación de sistemas de gestión de calidad en las administraciones locales así como en organizaciones y entidades del Tercer Sector. Se expone pues, por un lado, la experiencia desarrollada en la Concejalía de Acción Social, Mujer y Familia del Ayuntamiento de Valdemoro (Madrid) a través de la formación de sus profesionales en la gestión por procesos y la mejora continua y por otro lado, la iniciativa 'Indicadores Sociales' desarrollada por la red de Consultoría Social, para el desarrollo de una Web de indicadores sociales que permita compartir resultados y b…
On a min-max principle for non-smooth functions and applications
2009
Extensions of the seminal Ghoussoub's min-max principle [15] to non-smooth functionals given by a locally Lipschitz continuous term plus a convex, proper, lower semi-continuous function are presented and discussed in this survey paper. The problem of weakening the PalaisSmale compactness condition is also treated. Some abstract consequences as well as applications to elliptic hemivariational or variational-hemivariational inequalities are then pointed out. ©Dynamic Publishers, Inc.
CNO and pep solar neutrino measurements and perspectives in Borexino
2015
International audience; The detection of neutrinos emitted in the CNO reactions in the Sun is one of the ambitious goals of Borexino Phase-II. A measurement of CNO neutrinos would be a milestone in astrophysics, and would allow to solve serious issues in current solar models. A precise measurement of the rate of neutrinos from the pep reaction would allow to investigate neutrino oscillations in the MSW transition region. The pep and CNO solar neutrino physics, the measurement in Borexino Phase-I and the perspectives for the new phase are reviewed in this proceeding.
Measurement of Solar pp-neutrino flux with Borexino: results and implications
2015
International audience; Measurement of the Solar pp-neutrino flux completed the measurement of Solar neutrino fluxes from the pp-chain of reactions in Borexino experiment. The result is in agreement with the prediction of the Standard Solar Model and the MSW/LMA oscillation scenario. A comparison of the total neutrino flux from the Sun with Solar luminosity in photons provides a test of the stability of the Sun on the 10(5) years time scale, and sets a strong limit on the power production by the unknown energy sources in the Sun.
Improved measurement of $^8$B solar neutrinos with $1.5 kt·y$ of Borexino exposure
2017
We report on an improved measurement of the $^8$B solar neutrino interaction rate with the Borexino experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. Neutrinos are detected via their elastic scattering on electrons in a large volume of liquid scintillator. The measured rate of scattered electrons above 3 MeV of energy is $0.223\substack{+0.015 \\ -0.016}\,(stat)\,\substack{+0.006 \\ -0.006}\,(syst)$ cpd/100 t, which corresponds to an observed solar neutrino flux assuming no neutrino flavor conversion of $\Phi\substack{\rm ES \\ ^8\rm B}=2.57\substack{+0.17 \\ -0.18}(stat)\substack{+0.07\\ -0.07}(syst)\times$10$^6$ cm$^{-2}\,$s$^{-1}$. This measurement exploits the active volume of the …
Hands-feet wireless devices: Test-retest reliability and discriminant validity of motor measures in Parkinson's disease telemonitoring
2022
Background Telemonitoring, a branch of telemedicine, involves the use of technological tools to remotely detect clinical data and evaluate patients. Telemonitoring of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) should be performed using reliable and discriminant motor measures. Furthermore, the method of data collection and transmission, and the type of subjects suitable for telemonitoring must be well defined. Objective To analyze differences in patients with PD and healthy controls (HC) with the wearable inertial device SensHands-SensFeet (SH-SF), adopting a standardized acquisition mode, to verify if motor measures provided by SH-SF have a high discriminating capacity and high intraclass corr…
Motywacja jako zmienna w badaniach pedagogicznych z odniesieniami do aktywności sportowej
2018
Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie roli motywacji w wychowaniu i w sporcie, w kontekście traktowania motywacji jako zmiennej zależnej bądź zmiennej niezależnej w badaniach edukacyjnych. Motywacja może mieć wpływ na osiąganie pożądanych wyników w nauce i w sporcie. Możliwa jest jednak także sytuacja odwrotna: lepsze wyniki i osiągnięcia mogą zwiększać poziom motywacji do podejmowania dalszych wysiłków. Artykuł składa się z trzech części. W pierwszej przywołane są najważniejsze koncepcje i stanowiska dotyczące motywacji, w drugiej opisane są różne sposoby traktowania motywacji jako zmiennej w badaniach. W trzeciej części – przy uwzględnieniu tych różnic – ukazane są możliwe konsekwencje i po…
