LATHROBIUM (LATHROBIUM) NEGREI JARRIGE, 1952, NUEVA ESPECIE PARA LA FAUNA DE LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA (COLEOPTERA, STAPHYLINIDAE, PAEDERINAE)

The species Lathrobium (Lathrobium) negrei is recorded for the first time in the Iberian peninsula, Mar de Ontigola, Aranjuez, province of Madrid. Diagnostic characteristics, its aedeagus and the groove from near margin of sternite pygidial are furnished. New data on the geographical distribution are provided. It is an element “betico-rifeño” considered as riparium of salty soils.Lathrobium (Lathrobium) negrei Jarrige, 1952 es recogida por primera vez en la Península Ibérica en el “Mar de Ontigola”, Aranjuez, provincia de Madrid. Se detallan y se representan las caracteristicas morfológicas del edeago y de la escotadura del esternito pigidial del macho. Se amplia el conocimiento sobre la distribución geográfica de la especie, considerándola como elemento betico-rifeño. Se señalan sus preferencias ecológicas, como ripícola de aguas salobres

Dental Health and Mortality in People With End-Stage Kidney Disease Treated With Hemodialysis: A Multinational Cohort Study

Background Dental disease is more extensive in adults with chronic kidney disease, but whether dental health and behaviors are associated with survival in the setting of hemodialysis is unknown. Study Design Prospective multinational cohort. Setting & Participants 4,205 adults treated with long-term hemodialysis, 2010 to 2012 (Oral Diseases in Hemodialysis [ORAL-D] Study). Predictors Dental health as assessed by a standardized dental examination using World Health Organization guidelines and personal oral care, including edentulousness; decayed, missing, and filled teeth index; teeth brushing and flossing; and dental health consultation. Outcomes All-cause and cardiovascular mortality at 12 months after dental assessment. Measurements Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models fitted with shared frailty to account for clustering of mortality risk within countries. Results During a mean follow-up of 22.1 months, 942 deaths occurred, including 477 cardiovascular deaths. Edentulousness (adjusted HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.10-1.51) and decayed, missing, or filled teeth score ≥ 14 (adjusted HR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.33-2.17) were associated with early all-cause mortality, while dental flossing, using mouthwash, brushing teeth daily, spending at least 2 minutes on oral hygiene daily, changing a toothbrush at least every 3 months, and visiting a dentist within the past 6 months (adjusted HRs of 0.52 [95% CI, 0.32-0.85], 0.79 [95% CI, 0.64-0.97], 0.76 [95% CI, 0.58-0.99], 0.84 [95% CI, 0.71-0.99], 0.79 [95% CI, 0.65-0.95], and 0.79 [95% CI, 0.65-0.96], respectively) were associated with better survival. Results for cardiovascular mortality were similar. Limitations Convenience sample of clinics. Conclusions In adults treated with hemodialysis, poorer dental health was associated with early death, whereas preventive dental health practices were associated with longer survival

Domene (Lathromene)hispanicum N. SP.de España, y una homonimia-sinonimia del subgénero Spealeomene español

A new species, Domen (Lathormene) hispanicum, is descirbed after the study of two ♀ especimens form Salamanaca (Spain). A comparative study is made between this new species and the six known species of the Iberian Peninsula and the geographic distribution is established. Finally, the following synonymy is discussed: Domene (Spelacomene) Español 1977 = Domene (Spaelaeomene) Coiffait 1982.Tras el estudio de dos ejemplares ♀, de Salamanca (España), se describe una nueva especie, Domene (Lathromene) hispnicum. Con esta nueva especie y las seis conocidas de la península ibérica se hce un estudio comparado y se presenta el mapa de su distribución geográfica. Finalmente se establece la sinonímia: Domene (Spelaeomene) Español 1977 = Domene (Spaelaeomene) Coiffait 1982

3D applications for chronic liver diseases

This bachelor final project will try to offer clinic diagnostic tools for chronic liver disease that affect the brain and the abdominal muscles. To measure the muscle damage, we use tomography images, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image). The idea of the software is use the image information to create a 3D muscle model of the erector spinae, and to estimate to fat and mass muscle volume. To study the abnormal brain function we use a headset that measure the brain electrical activity. This helmet is a cost-effective device for the hospital and the medical test is intended to be quick and easy to do by any doctor without specific knowledge of neurology because thanks to the software we have developed, the doctor will have all the information in a really easy to understand 3D Brain.On one hand, with these applications, an almost immediate diagnostic can be achieved, thus improving the prescribed treatment. On the other hand, this methodology aims to help to better discriminate which patients present more serious affections, and to give them priority if they are on waiting list for surgical intervention
