OBJECTIVE to compare the axillar temperatures of newborns that are put immediately after birth in skin-to-skin contact under the Top Maternal device, as compared to those in a radiant heat crib. METHODS comparatives observational study of the case-control type about temperature of 60 babies born at the Obstetric Center and Normal Delivery Center of a public hospital of the municipality of Sao...

Abstract Buildings with different roofing systems possess seismic performance during earthquake. Most of the traditional buildings are susceptible to earthquake disaster due no loading is considered in design. In addition, irregular have been proven perform badly events. Due lack investigations on asymmetrical timber-concrete hybrid building under loading, a ¼ this type model was tested seismic...

Presentamos un caso de porfiria aguda intermitente (PAI), en el que reseñamos la importancia de valorar la sintomatoloǵıa secundaria en un paciente con debilidad muscular aguda. La PAI es una enfermedad causada por el defecto primario de la enzima porfobilinógeno desaminasa que se hereda con car acter autosómico dominante. Presentamos un varón de 46 años de edad con antecedentes de enolismo imp...

• Phylogenetic relationships within the genus Cinclodes, a group of South American furnariids, were studied using complete sequences of the mitochondrial genes COII and ND3. The 13 species of Cinclodes formed a monophyletic group consisting of three major lineages: (1) the southeastern Brazilian isolate C. pabsti, which was sister to the rest of the genus; (2) a clade of five primarily Patagoni...

El pasado mes de marzo de 2009 se aprobó la creación del Nodo Cochrane de Cuidados de Enfermerı́a, coordinado por el Instituto Joanna Briggs (IJB) que, posteriormente, pasó a formar parte de la Colaboración Cochrane como un Área de Trabajo en Cuidados de Enfermerı́a. Su principal función es apoyar la realización de revisiones sistemáticas de interés para los Cuidados de Enfermerı́a en la Colaborac...

Earthquakes occur on the earth’s surface as a result of rearrangement of terrestrial cortex or higher part of the mantle. The energy released in this process propagates over long distances in the form of elastic seismic waves [1]. In order to predict earthquakes many models have been proposed [2, 3]. Dynamics of an earthquake is so complicated that it is quite difficult to predict using availab...

The purpose of this study was to analyze, within a more extensive intervention program, the existence of positive emotions and positive coping in the refugees at the two largest shelters created after the earthquakes of El Salvador in January, 2001. One hundred and fifteen survivors were interviewed in the shelters about different aspects related to positive cognitions and emotions experienced ...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to provide an overview of morbidity and mortality among patients admitted to the Hospital of the Medicine Faculty of Uludag University, Bursa, Turkey, after the 1999 Marmara earthquake. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the medical records of 645 earthquake victims. Patients' demographic data, diagnosis, dispositions, and prognosis were reviewed. RESULTS A total ...

Several synthetic models are constructed to fit the first 40 sec of the transversely polarized displacement, as recorded at El Centro, of the April 9, 1968 Borrego Mountain earthquake. The modeling is done in the time domain using the response computed for a distributed set of point shear dislocations embedded in a layered half-space. The beginning 10 sec of the observed record is used to model...

‘‘Thyroid ultrasound-just do it’’. Así se titulaba la editorial publicada en Thyroid, el 20041, que ponía de manifiesto la escasa utilización de la ecografía por los endocrinólogos americanos y resaltaba la necesidad de asumirla cuanto antes. Ahora, ocho años después, ha llegado nuestro momento. Son múltiples las variables que condicionan nuestra vida laboral en los últimos diez años: status la...
