Aim The aim of this study was to assess the internal consistency, hypothesis testing and criterion-related validity Spanish versions Kihon Checklist (KCL) – original 25-item reduced 15-item for screening frailty in community-dwelling older adults. Methods A cross-sectional carried out between March September 2018 Valencia province (Spain). sample 251 participants recruited. Construct assessed u...

The friction coefficients of thin KCl films deposited onto clean iron in ultrahigh vacuum are measured using a tungsten carbide tip. A rapid decrease is found in the friction coefficient from 2 for clean iron to 0:27 0:03 after the deposition of 40 A of KCl. Based on previous contact resistance measurements, this was proposed to be due to the completion of the first layer of KCl. The firstlayer...

Moesin is a member of the ERM family, a family of cross-linkers between the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton, which are known to be activated by phosphorylation. Previously, we reported the RhoA and Rho kinase-dependent phosphorylation of moesin at Thr-558 in hippocampal neuronal cells by glutamate. Here we studied the induction of moesin phosphorylation by KCl (60 mm) in PC12 cells. ...

In this paper, the effect of addition potassium chloride (KCl) by ball milling on first hydrogenation kinetics TiFe is reported. After milling, KCl was uniformly distributed TiFe’s surface. As-synthesized does not absorb hydrogen. However, after with KCl, it absorbed 1.5 wt.% hydrogen without any thermal treatment. The storage capacity higher than that milled pure TiFe. effects amount additive ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of various methods of multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) and to determine which method produces better outcomes. One hundred and forty-eight patients with multiple pregnancies resulting from assisted reproduction programs and underwent MFPR were included. According to the use of potassium chloride (KCl), patients were divided into 'KCl',...

Chemical looping combustion of wood pellets (WP), char (WC), and straw (SP) was conducted in a 60 kW CLC pilot with ilmenite braunite oxygen carriers (OCs). Alkali emissions were investigated impactor-based surface ionization detector (SID) measurements. Particle size distributions for WP WC fuels dominated by coarse particles formed refractory species. For SP fuel, the distribution bimodal dis...

Introduction Hypokalemia is a common electrolyte disturbance in the ICU, which makes potassiumchloride (KCl) suppletion a frequent necessity. Parenteral KCl suppletion is mostly used in critically ill patients, but it is associated with safety risks, such as overcorrection and line-infections. Enteral KCl suppletion could be a safe and effective alternative in many instances. However, it is not...
