Hematoma Pararetal Pós-Parto

A puerperal vulvovaginal hematoma is not an unusual finding after vaginal deliveries. However, most of them are small and self-limited. Even though there are multiple risk factors identified, the majority of cases happen in low risk settings. We here report a case of a nulliparous young woman who developed a massive pararretal hematoma after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. Surgical intervention was useful but selective embolization was required. Our goal is to highlight the importance of being aware of this potential complication of a vaginal delivery and the need of an early diagnosis in order to offer the most suitable treatment and prevent severe damages.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Hacia una diversidad patrimonial europea: geositios en la costa gallega (NW España)

The pervasive lack of awareness in today’s society regarding geological processes and their effects on the landscape is of such magnitude that their relationship to biodiversity and their value as part of the natural heritage is almost completely ignored. In this situation are the Quaternary deposits located on the Galician coast (NW Spain). The lack of awareness of these deposits, or the mere fact that they have either been omitted, or included as other coastal formations in the POL (The Planning Programme for Coastal areas of Galicia), makes their recognition and promotion unfeasible. Taking into account the scientific works and considering the current administrative context, the aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance and scientific and educational interest of the Quaternary sedimentary deposits as palaeoenvironmental records in the hope that this will be recognised as a Geosites by administration, in order to promote their geoconservation as a meaningful and diverse Geological Heritage in European Coastal context.La falta generalizada de conciencia en la sociedad actual en relación con los procesos geológicos y sus efectos sobre el paisaje es de tal magnitud que su relación con la biodiversidad y su valor como parte del Patrimonio Natural casi está completamente ignorado. En esta situación se encuentran los Depósitos Cuaternarios situados en la Costa de Galicia (NW de España). Su falta de conocimiento, o el mero hecho de que, se han omitido o incluido como otras formaciones costeras en la POL (Plan de Ordenación del Litoral de Galicia) hace que su reconocimiento y su difusión sea inviable. Teniendo en cuenta los trabajos científicos y el contexto administrativo actual, el objetivo de este estudio es mostrar su importancia e interés científico y educativo como registros paleoambientales con la esperanza de que alcancen su reconocimiento por parte de la administración como Geositios, con el fin de promover su geoconservación como un Patrimonio Geológico significativo y diverso en el contexto Costero Europeo.This research was partially funded by Project 09SEC015606PR (Xunta de Galicia) and by COMDEMO Project (Plan Nacional de I+D+i: EDU2015-65621-C3-1-R) co-financed with EU ERDF funds.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Another view of geological heritage: the assessment of the quaternary deposits of the galician coast (NW Spain)

En la última década se ha desarrollado una base de conocimiento sólido relacionado con la geodiversidad, caracterización, conservación y gestión del patrimonio geológico, que lleva implícito una legislación al respecto. Sin embargo, el escaso conocimiento a nivel científico por parte de la Administración sobre “lugares de interés geológico” hace complicado conseguir una normativa adecuada, a fin de proteger algo que no está contemplado. A esto se suma, un desconocimiento parcial de la sociedad sobre procesos geológicos, su relación con la biodiversidad y su valor como patrimonio natural. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar el valor de los depósitos sedimentarios antiguos localizados en la costa de Galicia como archivos paleoambientales y geoformas con entidad propia. Estos valores son ejemplificados con depósitos localizados en la “Costa Sur”, así definida en el Plan de Ordenación Litoral (POL) de Galicia.Over the last decade, a solid knowledge base has been built up globally in relation to geodiversity, geoheritage identification, conservation and management, which implies legislation on the subject. However, the partial absence of knowledge and information on a scientific level on the part of the Administration regarding national, regional or local “points of geological interest” makes it complex to create appropriate legislation, since something which is not even considered cannot be protected. There is also public ignorance about geological processes and their relationship with biodiversity, as well as their value as natural heritage. This study aims to show the value of ancient sedimentary deposits located on the coast of Galicia as palaeoenvironmental records and landforms. These values are exemplified with deposits of the “Southern Coast”, established in the Coastline Management Plan (POL)

Geological heritage at risk in NW Spain. Quaternary deposits and landforms of “Southern Coast” (Baiona-A Garda)

Over the last decade, a knowledge base has been built up worldwide in relation to geological heritage and geodiversity, and respective working methodologies. However, the absence of knowledge and technical information by the local, regional and national authorities about geosites makes it difficult to create appropriate legislation and to assure a good management. There is also a public ignorance about geological processes and their relationship to biodiversity, as well as their value as natural heritage. This study focuses on the Autonomous Community of Galicia (NW Spain), specifically the “Southern Coast” area established in the Planning Programme for the Coast (POL) and brings to light the importance of the Quaternary deposits and associated landforms. The study concludes that the Southern Coast should be recognized as an area-type geosite. Taking into account the evaluation of their scientific value, the landforms of Oia and San Xián are proposed as geosites. Legal mechanisms of protection need to be reinforced and new, more specific ones, developed in tandem that make reference to the fact that these landforms exemplify environmental records of the past. This area is unique on a national level due to the scientific and educational value of the deposits. Therefore, they should be proposed to the Spanish Geological Survey (IGME) for inclusion in the general list of geosites of the Spanish State.Manuela Costa-Casais is supported by the Research Programme "Isidro Parga Pondal 2007"-Xunta Galicia.

2H-Azirines as electrophiles

2H-Azirines have shown an unusual potential to synthesise aziridines and other types of compounds. Many functionalized aziridines can be produced by addition of O-, S-,N-, C-nucleophiles and hydride to 2H-azirines. This review is designed to give an overview of the reactivity of 2H-azirines as electrophiles along the years and their usefulness in the synthesisof important families of compounds

Influence of inoculum, particle size and inoculum-substrate ratio on CH4 production from Ulex sp.

The performance of Anaerobic Digestion (AD) of solids wastes is affected by several factors. Most of them are related to each other. Currently, publish studies about AD only care about the individual influence of these variables, discarding possible interaction. A response surface experimental design was used to determine the most important variables and possible interactions – influence of inoculum type (anaerobic suspended sludge and granula sludge), Ulex sp. particle diameter (dp) and inoculum to substrate ratio (ISR) – on the Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) and the maximum initial methane production rate (k). BMP and k of Ulex sp. varied between 153-308 L CH4 kg-1 VS and 14-49 L CH4 kg-1 VS d-1, respectively. Higher ISR and a mixture of granular and suspended sludge had a positive effect on the biodegradability of waste. A dp of 1.85 mm were defined as the optimal condition to simultaneously maximize the BMP and k
