On the Influence of VOCs on New Particle Growth in a Continental-Mediterranean Region

[Abstract] A field campaign has been performed in the Madrid region to study the VOC influence in the growth of new particles in ambient air. A number of instruments have been deployed to characterize the main pollutant gases and particle properties and composition. The measurements were performed simultaneously at three sites (rural, urban background and urban traffic influenced) in the period 1–17 July 2019. The sites: Tres Cantos (rural), CIEMAT (urban background) and Leganés (urban traffic) were located within the Madrid airshed. Particle size distributions, mass concentrations at fractions PM10, PM2.5 and PM1, black carbon, VOCs species and gaseous pollutants (NOx and O3) were obtained in the sites. Some supplementary measurements were obtained in at least one of the sites: meteorological parameters, non-refractory submicron aerosol species and vertical profiles of aerosol optical properties. It has been observed that the new particle formation (NPF) events, nucleation and subsequent growth, happened at a regional scale, although differently among the sites. In the rural site, fewer events than expected were observed because of the high temperatures that affected the BVOC emissions. In the urban background site, the highest number of events was reached. In this station, it is common to receive air masses from the nearby forest and from the urban area, producing a mix of conditions with high BVOC and AVOC concentrations. In the urban traffic site, several NPF cases appeared, being a site dominated by AVOCs. Among the BVOCs measured in the three stations, the most common were α-Pinene and Limonene. Among the AVOCs measured, aromatics and linear hydrocarbon compounds for C10 and above were found. The linear group was found to be predominant during the NPF event days in the urban background site. This work provides new insights about the aerosol-forming precursors and growth of new particles in the Madrid region.This research has been partially funded by the CRISOL Project (CGL2017-85344-R MINECO/AEI/FEDER, UE), OASIS project (PID2021-127885OB-I00 fund by MCIN/ AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by 'ERDF A way of making Europe') and by the TIGAS-CM project (Madrid Regional Government Y2018/EMT-5177)Comunidad de Madrid; Y2018/EMT-517

Factores que afectan la selección del proceso metalúrgico para beneficiar minerales complejos de oro

The need to develop and know methods for metallurgical treatment to process gold-bearing refractory minerals or hard to treat be- cause of carbon contents, tellurium, antimony, arsenic, carbonates and gold in solution solid sulfides, forces us to study the different methods of specific oxidation that should be applied in each mineral before to leach ore to reach high recoveries into precious metals Through Gravimetrically followed by cyanidation is obtained 94.74% of gold extract in the studied mineral.La necesidad de desarrollar y conocer métodos de tratamiento metalúrgico para beneficiar minerales auríferos refractarios o difíciles de tratar por presentar contenidos de carbón, teluros, antimonio, arsénico, carbonatos y oro en solución sólida en sulfuros, nos obliga a estudiar los diversos métodos de oxidación específica que se deben aplicar a cada mineral previo a lixiviar para alcanzar altas recuperaciones en metales preciosos. Por gravimetría seguida de cianuración, se obtiene 94.74% de extracción de oro en el mineral estudiado

Movimientos en masa en la cuenca del río Huachecsa, Chavín de Huántar

El 17 de enero de 1945 a las 7.00 am, una avalancha de hielo proveniente del Nevado Huantsán a 6 369 m.s.n.m. se precipitó sobre la laguna Ayhuinyaraju, rompiendo su dique morrénico y precipitándose sobre la laguna de Carhuacocha dando origen así al flujo de detritos (“aluvión”) que bajó por el río Huachecsa, causando la destrucción parcial del poblado de Chavín de Huantar, la muerte de numerosos pobladores y sepultó al complejo arqueológico del mismo nombre situado a 200 metros aguas abajo del poblado (Indacochea et al, 1947). El sitio arqueológico de Chavín de Huantar (1 300 a 400 aC.) está ubicado a 3 185 m.s.n.m. sobre el flanco oriental de la Cordillera Blanca entre los ríos Mosna y Huachecsa, en el departamento de Ancash. Se trata de un conjunto arquitectónico monumental de aproximadamente 13 hectáreas de extensión. Este monumento arqueológico es un importante centro ceremonial que data del primer milenio a.C. En los años 20, del siglo pasado, el eminente arqueólogo Julio C. Tello reconoció su importancia fundamental para la historia del Perú antiguo convirtiéndola en pieza clave para su visión del origen de la cultura peruana. El complejo arqueológico, antes de su puesta en valor, fue usado como cantera y destruido por enormes flujos de detritos (“aluviones”) que sepultaron el sitio después de su abandono, hacia 200 años a.C. Para estudiar esta problemática la Dirección de Geología Ambiental del INGEMMET organizó una Escuela de Campo cuya localidad base fue el distrito de Chavín, provincia de Huari, Región Ancash, la cual se realizó entre los días 4 al 10 de Agosto de 2006, estos trabajos contaron con la dirección del Dr. Víctor Carlotto C., la colaboración del Ing. Bilberto Zavala C., y la coordinación general del Ing, Lionel Fidel S., así como la participación de 14 profesionales de esta dirección. El presente informe es el resultado de los trabajos de campo y gabinete, que abarcaron estudios de geología y geodinámica externa de la cuenca del río Huachecsa, el origen del aluvión de 1945, y su recorrido por la quebrada hasta su desembocadura, así como otros aspectos geológicos, geomorfológicos y geodinámicos en el área del depósito del aluvión y en un tramo del río Mosna, entre Chavín y San Marcos

Effectiveness of an intervention for improving drug prescription in primary care patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy:Study protocol of a cluster randomized clinical trial (Multi-PAP project)

This study was funded by the Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias ISCIII (Grant Numbers PI15/00276, PI15/00572, PI15/00996), REDISSEC (Project Numbers RD12/0001/0012, RD16/0001/0005), and the European Regional Development Fund ("A way to build Europe").Background: Multimorbidity is associated with negative effects both on people's health and on healthcare systems. A key problem linked to multimorbidity is polypharmacy, which in turn is associated with increased risk of partly preventable adverse effects, including mortality. The Ariadne principles describe a model of care based on a thorough assessment of diseases, treatments (and potential interactions), clinical status, context and preferences of patients with multimorbidity, with the aim of prioritizing and sharing realistic treatment goals that guide an individualized management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a complex intervention that implements the Ariadne principles in a population of young-old patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. The intervention seeks to improve the appropriateness of prescribing in primary care (PC), as measured by the medication appropriateness index (MAI) score at 6 and 12months, as compared with usual care. Methods/Design: Design:pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. Unit of randomization: family physician (FP). Unit of analysis: patient. Scope: PC health centres in three autonomous communities: Aragon, Madrid, and Andalusia (Spain). Population: patients aged 65-74years with multimorbidity (≥3 chronic diseases) and polypharmacy (≥5 drugs prescribed in ≥3months). Sample size: n=400 (200 per study arm). Intervention: complex intervention based on the implementation of the Ariadne principles with two components: (1) FP training and (2) FP-patient interview. Outcomes: MAI score, health services use, quality of life (Euroqol 5D-5L), pharmacotherapy and adherence to treatment (Morisky-Green, Haynes-Sackett), and clinical and socio-demographic variables. Statistical analysis: primary outcome is the difference in MAI score between T0 and T1 and corresponding 95% confidence interval. Adjustment for confounding factors will be performed by multilevel analysis. All analyses will be carried out in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: It is essential to provide evidence concerning interventions on PC patients with polypharmacy and multimorbidity, conducted in the context of routine clinical practice, and involving young-old patients with significant potential for preventing negative health outcomes.

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality
