ECG measurements in atypical arm positions

This study presents an alternative way to measure electrocardiogram (ECG) in order to achieve an easier monitoring of the patient. The idea is to place two electrodes in the left arm and analyse in which positions good results can be obtained, so that a comfortable device capable of performing continuous measures can be introduced. In addition, if the PPG is measured, a further characterization of physiological parameters can be achieved, through the PAT. Signal processing has been applied to optimize results2021/202

Adictos a la vida

The author assesses the anthropological valué of contemporary professional photography. Anthropology, which by definition is the study of anything human, can receive whatever proposals that professional photography has to offer and subject them to the transformations that the discipline may deem necessary. Nowadays, anthropologists cannot turn down the data that professional photography can supply, because it is a rich source of information and reflection.El artículo explora el valor antropológico de la fotografía profesional contemporánea. La antropología, disciplina abierta por su misma definición al conocimiento de lo humano, puede recoger las propuestas de aquélla y someterlas a cuantas transformaciones considere necesarias. En la actualidad, no se puede despreciar la materia prima que ofrece la fotografía profesional y artística, ya que aportan un caudal ingente de información, de conocimiento y de reflexión

Task-Related modulations of BOLD low-frequency fluctuations within the default mode Network

Spontaneous low-frequency Blood-Oxygenation Level-Dependent (BOLD) signals acquired during resting state are characterized by spatial patterns of synchronous fluctuations, ultimately leading to the identification of robust brain networks. The resting-state brain networks, including the Default Mode Network (DMN), are demonstrated to persist during sustained task execution, but the exact features of task-related changes of network properties are still not well characterized. In this work we sought to examine in a group of 20 healthy volunteers (age 33 ± 6 years, 8 F/12 M) the relationship between changes of spectral and spatiotemporal features of one prominent resting-state network, namely the DMN, during the continuous execution of a working memory n-back task. We found that task execution impacted on both functional connectivity and amplitude of BOLD fluctuations within large parts of the DMN, but these changes correlated between each other only in a small area of the posterior cingulate. We conclude that combined analysis of multiple parameters related to connectivity, and their changes during the transition from resting state to continuous task execution, can contribute to a better understanding of how brain networks rearrange themselves in response to a task

A "semi-closed" recirculating system for the in situ study of feeding and respiration of benthic suspension feeders

Suspension feeding is one of the most widespread feeding strategies among benthic organisms. However, natural feeding ecology and energetics of benthic suspension feeders are poorly known. The scarcity of field methods, apparatus and protocols that facilitate obtention of reliable in situ data has contributed to this lack of knowledge. A detailed description of an improved semi-closed recirculating system as well as the experimental set up is provided for the study of energetics in benthic suspension feeders. The system, completely submersible and surface-independent, allows us to assess oxygen concentration changes and feeding rates under natural conditions. Methodological examinations are conducted to investigate: a) the circulation of the water within the chamber; b) the time required for the flushing pump to entirely renew the volume of water of the incubation chambers; c) the behavior of the species within the chambers; d) the time of acclimation to the chamber conditions for the different species; e) the maximum decrease in oxygen concentration without affecting respiration rate; f) the time required to detect changes in concentration of the natural food sources. The system and experimental protocol is tested with species from three representative phyla, Porifera, Cnidaria and TunicataThe manuscript was improved by the comments of Fenny Cox. We would like to thanks the assistance of Mikel Zabala, Josep-Maria Llenas and Loïc de Maissonneuve. Support for this work was provided by a RED research contract from the “Generalitat de Catalunya” to R.C., by a postdoctoral fellowship from the “Ministerio de Educación y Cultura” to M.R., by PETRI grant PTR94-0119, by DGICYT grant PB98-0456-C03-01 and by a LEA projectPeer reviewe

La Biblioteca de Medicina de la UAB: informant uns usuaris repartits pel territori

Biblioteques universitàries; Comunicació; Xarxes socialsUniversity libraries; Communication; Social networksBibliotecas universitarias; Comunicación; Redes socialesLa Facultat de Medicina de la UAB (FM) està formada per 6 Unitats Docents (UD), on s'imparteixen els Grau de Medicina, Infermeria i Fisioteràpia. La Biblioteca de Medicina (BM) que forma part del Servei de Biblioteques de la UAB (SdB) és present a les UD per donar el mateix nivell de servei als estudiants, professors i investigadors de la FM de la UAB. Aquesta dispersió dels usuaris pel territori fa que l'establiment de canals de comunicació adequats per fer arribar als usuaris de la BM la informació referent a les activitats, serveis i recursos que se'ls ofereix sigui un tema estratègic
