(ClinMed International Library, 2015-12-31)
Objective: To determine the impact of delivering high flow conditioned oxygen therapy (HFO) through nasal cannula on prevention of reintubation in mechanically ventilated (MV) critically ill patients. ...
Biofunctionalization strategies on tantalum-based materials for osseointegrative applications
(Springer Nature, 2015)
The use of tantalum as biomaterial for orthopedic applications is gaining considerable attention in the clinical practice because it presents an excellent chemical stability, body fluid resistance, ...
Agreement among spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, standard automated perimetry, and stereophotography in the detection of glaucoma progression
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2015-02)
PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the agreement among spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, standard automated perimetry (SAP), and optic disc stereo photography in the detection ...
Development of tantalum scaffold for orthopaedic applications produced by space-holder method
(Elsevier, 2015-10-15)
In the present study, production of tantalum porous scaffolds using the space holder technique was performed. The effect of size and content of sodium chloride particles, used as space holder, as well ...
¿Por qué descendió tanto la mortalidad infantil en Tarragona, provincia de Cataluña (España)? El ejemplo del doctor Frías i Roig (Reus, 1878-1963)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2015)
Desde la Transición Demográfica y Epidemiológica, marco conceptual de nuestra investigación, planteamos qué ocurrió en la provincia de Tarragona entre 1900 y 1935 (antes de la Guerra Civil española). A ...
Revisiting the appropriation of space in metropolitan river corridors
(Elsevier, 2015)
This article reintroduces the concept of 'appropriation of space' into current theoretical debates and empirical approaches in environmental psychology. We present an analysis of a case study conducted ...
Mimicking bone extracellular matrix: integrin-binding peptidomimetics enhance osteoblast-like cells adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation on titanium
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)
Interaction between the surface of implants and biological tissues is a key aspect of biomaterials research. Apart from fulfilling the non-toxicity and structural requirements, synthetic materials are ...
Therapeutically relevant aspects in bone repair and regeneration
(Springer Nature, 2015-12)
Over the past few years, attention has been focused on the therapeutic roles in designing bone scaffolds for successful repair and regeneration. Indeed, biologically dynamic events in the bone healing ...
Mechanical and microstructural characterization of new nickel-free low modulus beta-type titanium wires during thermomechanical treatments
(Elsevier, 2015-06-11)
NiTi alloy is the only practical shape memory alloy (SMA) in biomedical use because of its excellent mechanical stability and functionality. However, it is estimated that between 4.5% and 28.5% of the ...
Association of baseline CD4+ cell count and HIV-RNA on sustained virologic response to interferon-ribavirin in HIV/HCV coinfected patients
(Elsevier, 2015)
Background and rationale for the study. We assessed the association of CD4+ T-cell counts and HIV-RNA onsustained viral response (SVR) after therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PR) in HIV/HCV ...
