Introducing the Monitoring Equipment Mask Environment.

Filter face masks are Respiratory Protective Equipment designed to protect the wearer from various hazards, suit various health situations, and match the specific requirements of the wearer. Current traditional face masks have several limitations. In this paper, we present (ME)2, the Monitoring Equipment Mask Environment: an innovative reusable 3D-printed eco-sustainable mask with an interchangeable filter.

Prevalence, clinical features and avoidability of adverse drug reactions as cause of admission to a geriatric unit: a prospective study of 1756 patients.

Background: Drug use increases with advancing age, and in older patients it is associated with an increase in adverse drug reactions (ADRs). ADRs are a primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence, clinical characteristics and avoidability of ADR-related hospital admissions in elderly patients.

Studies on polypeptide composition, hydrolytic activity and proton conduction of mitochondrial FoF1 H+ ATPase in regenerating rat liver.

A study of the FoF1 ATPase complex of mitochondria isolated from regenerating rat liver following partial (70%) hepatectomy is presented. As we have previously reported, ATPase activity in submitochondrial particles prepared from regenerating rat liver 24 h following partial hepatectomy was depressed by 75% with respect to controls (submitochondrial particles from sham-operated animals). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunodecoration using an antibody raised against isolated bovine heart F1 sector of the FoF1 ATPase indicated a substantial decrease in F1 content in the mitochondrial membrane from regenerating rat liver.

[Antivariola vaccination. Technics for the mitigation of local and general reactions. Practical experience].

A technik is proposed for the attenuation of the local and general reactions produced by antivariola vaccination. The process is based on the use of "puntiform inoculation" and of a liophilised vaccine already decayed.
