Analysis of the OSSEs with multi-platform in situ data and impact on fine-scale structures
This report includes recommendations for the planification of in situ experiments aimed to reconstruct fine-scale ocean currents (~20 km), such as those that will be conducted to validate SWOT satellite observations
Clinical Profile and Determinants of Mortality in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease Admitted for COVID-19.
BACKGROUND
Concern has risen about the effects of COVID-19 in interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients. The aim of our study was to determine clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of ILD patients admitted for COVID-19.
METHODS
Ancillary analysis of an international, multicenter COVID-19 registry (HOPE: Health Outcome Predictive Evaluation) was performed. The subgroup of ILD patients was selected and compared with the rest of the cohort.
RESULTS
A total of 114 patients with ILDs were evaluated. Mean ± SD age was 72.4 ± 13.6 years, and 65.8% were men. ILD patients were older, had more comorbidities, received more home oxygen therapy and more frequently had respiratory failure upon admission than non-ILD patients (all p < 0.05). In laboratory findings, ILD patients more frequently had elevated LDH, C-reactive protein, and D-dimer levels (all p < 0.05). A multivariate analysis showed that chronic kidney disease and respiratory insufficiency on admission were predictors of ventilatory support, and that older age, kidney disease and elevated LDH were predictors of death.
CONCLUSIONS
Our data show that ILD patients admitted for COVID-19 are older, have more comorbidities, more frequently require ventilatory support and have higher mortality than those without ILDs. Older age, kidney disease and LDH were independent predictors of mortality in this population.S
Ciencia y profesión : el farmacéutico en la historia
474 páginas. Versiones pdf / epubLas IV Jornadas Científicas de la Sociedad de Docentes Universitarios de Historia de la Farmacia (SDUHFE) se celebraron en la Sede de La Rábida en junio de 2016. Esta obra presenta diversas investigaciones y comunicaciones, con varias temáticas que pueden desglosarse en cuatro bloques: 1) En un primer grupo podemos considerar todos los capítulos que abordan la historia de los colegios farmacéuticos así como los avatares de la profesión. Se da cuenta en la provincia de Sevilla de las dificultades del Colegio de Farmacéuticos en el periodo de la Guerra Civil y la Posguerra (1936-1949), del proceso de colegiación obligatoria a partir de 1916, pinceladas históricas sobre los farmacéuticos cántabros del siglo XIX, del Colegio de Farmacéuticos de Filipinas a finales del XIX, de los conflictos de los farmacéuticos en las reuniones sanitarias de mitad del XX, y del papel de los farmacéuticos titulares en la potabilización de las aguas de consumo en Plentzia (Vizcaya). 2) Podemos destacar también todos los trabajos que giran en torno a diferentes medicamentos y productos farmacéuticos, entre ellos estudios históricos sobre piedras preciosas, medicamentos para tratar heridas, quina contra las tercianas, opio, alexifármacos, medicamentos homeopáticos, talidomida o curiosos productos como el Licor del Polo. 3) El papel de los laboratorios farmacéuticos como la Casa Nestlé durante la Guerra Civil española y el franquismo, diferentes laboratorios onubenses durante este mismo periodo, el papel del Instituto de Higiene Militar y la experimentación con insecticidas clorados sintéticos en la posguerra española, aglutinan el tercer cuerpo temático. 4) Finalmente, podemos destacar los trabajos que tienen una componente publicitaria, divulgadora y social entre los que cabe destacar el estudio del NO-DO y los diferentes noticieros y documentales sobre temas farmacéuticos que resultan muy ilustrativos. La propaganda farmacéutica desarrollada en la revista Matronas, el inventario del patrimonio farmacéutico catalán, junto a la percepción social de la farmacia a través de las fallas valencianas conforma este último grupo
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Telomeres
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is an interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology with a highly compromised prognosis and a significant mortality rate within a few years of diagnosis. Despite being idiopathic, it has been shown that telomeric shortening could play an important role in its etiopathogenesis. Mutations in telomere-related genes have been identified, but they are not always present despite telomere shortening. On the other hand, this telomeric shortening has been linked to a worse prognosis of the disease independently of other clinical factors, implying it may serve as a biomarker
