Although the notion of the Anthropocene has generated a great deal of literature across disciplines, the geographic critique of this concept is still developing. This article contributes to justice-oriented engagements with the Anthropocene by highlighting the relationships through which planetary knowledge is construc... |
The American College of Nurse-Midwives, American Society for Pain Management Nursing, American Academy of Pediatrics, and other largely US-based medical organizations have argued that at least some forms of non-therapeutic child genital cutting, including routine penile circumcision, are ethically permissible even when... |
A 10-day study of the dynamics of adreno- and cholinosensitivity of isolated fragments of the small intestine of Wistar rats exposed to temperature of 45 degrees C for 30 and 60 min, revealed an increase in adreno- and cholinosensitivity in hyperthermia. A significant correlation exists between the body temperature and... |
The article presents the results of the search for optimal forms of cooperation between teachers and students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning. New realities require teachers to react quickly, make extraordinary decisions and take adequate action for the proper functioning of the education ... |
Modern education should ensure the formation and comprehensive development of a spiritually rich person who not only has a holistic system of scientific and practical knowledge, but also able to realize themselves according to their own aspirations and abilities, able to navigate the rapid flow of information, has a hi... |
It is proposed to involve not only teachers, but also all stakeholders, first of all – students, from whom a lot of good advice can be heard. An example of a modern vision of the role of a teacher and a set of his/her qualities necessary for the successful organization of the educational process from the point of view ... |
Patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and cancer represent a high-risk subgroup of patients in whom the management of oral anticoagulation may be challenging. The relationship between cancer type and the risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) in patients with AF is unclear. |
To investigate the incidence of CVEs in patients with AF and cancer according to cancer type. |
Prospective cohort study including 2,092 consecutive AF patients on vitamin K antagonists. Principal endpoint was the occurrence of CVEs including fatal/non-fatal myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke and cardiovascular death. We also performed a subgroup analysis of cardiac and thromboembolic events separately. P... |
Mean age was 73.7±9.1 years and 42.1% were woman; 367 (17.5%) had cancer, of these 21% gastro-intestinal, 10% respiratory, 28% genito-urinary and 41% had other localization. Patients with cancer were older than those without but with similar clinical characteristics. |
During a mean follow up of 35.9±28.0 months (6264.5 patient-years), 203 CVEs occurred (3.24%/year, 95% CI 2.81–3.72) of whom 86 were cardiac ischemia (1.37%/year, 95% CI 1.10–1.69), 70 thromboembolic events (1.12%/year, 95% CI 0.87–1.41) and 47 cardiovascular deaths (0.75%/year, 95% CI 0.55–0.99). The incidence of CVE... |
Cox regression multivariate analysis showed that factors associated with cardiac events were COPD, dyslipidemia, TTR <70%, PPI drugs and gastrointestinal cancer (figure). Conversely, CHA2DS2VASc score and respiratory cancer were predictors of thromboembolic events. |
Our findings suggest an association between cancer type and specific ischemic complications in AF patients. In particular, we found a higher risk of cardiac complications in patients with gastrointestinal cancer and of thromboembolic events in patients with respiratory cancer. These associations need to be confirmed i... |

Novel Electrodes for Underwater ECG Monitoring |
We have developed hydrophobic electrodes that provide all morphological waveforms without distortion of an ECG signal for both dry and water-immersed conditions. Our electrode is comprised of a mixture of carbon black powder (CB) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). For feasibility testing of the CB/PDMS electrodes, variou... |
ABSTRACT While school choice and marketisation have been studied extensively, some areas remain under-researched, for instance, the consequences of choice for the development of inclusive education. The aim of this article is to illustrate the consequences of school choice for inclusive education, as it relates to spec... |
A numerical description of micellization and relaxation to an aggregate equilibrium in surfactant solution with nonionic spherical micelles has been developed on the basis of a discrete form of the Becker-Döring kinetic equations. Two different models for the monomer-aggregate attachment-detachment rates have been used... |
This paper gives some equivalent characterizations for invariant subspaces of H/sup 2/, when the underlying structure is specified by the so-called pseudorational transfer functions. This plays a fundamental role in computing the optimal sensitivity for a certain important class of infinite-dimensional systems, includi... |
Abstract Objective. To clarify the three-dimensional (3D) morphometric characteristics of the spine in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS). Methods. 3D morphometric analyses of laminae and facets were performed and compared for a DS group, an age-matched spinal canal stenosis (LCS) group, and a control gr... |
Face age transformation aims to generate a face image in the past or future and has been receiving increasing attention for its significance recently. This paper proposes a local-global interactive framework for long-span face age transformation. We divide a face image into five local parts and design a local generativ... |
BACKGROUND |
The conventional method of harvesting full cortical bone from the mandibular ramus was reported to have associated complications ranging from postoperative pain and swelling to impaired inferior alveolar nerve function. |
METHODS |
A modified ramal bone harvesting technique is described in which partial cortical-type bone is harvested from the mandibular ramus and used for an autogenous bone graft. |
RESULTS |
Partial-thickness cortical bone was harvested without paresthesia while reducing postoperative discomfort and complications. Sufficient bone was obtained for ridge augmentation and eventual implant placement. |
CONCLUSION |
Non-invasive partial cortical ramal bone harvesting is a reproducible and predictable technique for preventing nerve damage while providing sufficient block bone needed for a dental implant.Perspectives on Self-Advocacy: Comparing Perceived Uses, Benefits, and Drawbacks Among Survivors and Providers |
Purpose/Objectives |
To describe and compare survivors' and providers' views of the uses of and perceived benefits and drawbacks of survivor self-advocacy. |
Design |
A cross-sectional, two-group, mixed-methods survey. |
Setting |
Survivors were recruited from local and national registries and advocacy organizations. Providers were recruited from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Cancer Center and a regional Oncology Nursing Society chapter. |
Sample |
122 female cancer survivors and 39 providers involved in their direct care. |
Methods |
Quantitative survey data were summarized using descriptive statistics, including means and frequencies. Qualitative survey data were collected and analyzed using content analysis techniques, and main themes were counted and summarized. |
Main Research Variables |
Perceptions of the uses, benefits, and drawbacks of female cancer survivor self-advocacy. |
Findings |
Survivors and providers perceived similar but distinct uses of self-advocacy. Survivors and providers generally agreed on the potential benefits of self-advocacy but had different views of the potential drawbacks. Survivors were most concerned with finding and making sense of information, that their questions would not... |
Conclusions |
Although survivors and providers recognized similar benefits to survivor self-advocacy, they had different views of the uses and drawbacks of female cancer survivor self-advocacy. |
Implications for Nursing |
Attempts to increase self-advocacy among female cancer survivors must address survivors’ and providers’ views and apprehensions about self-advocacy.“Diseño de un itinerario competencial a partir de un cuestionario de situaciones temidas” - ["Design of a competency itinerary based on a questionnaire of feared situations... |
