[Assessment of the impact on mortality of air pollution by particles in the city of Valencia during the period 2015-2017].

Objective: Air pollution is a global public health issue, with particulate matter (PM) being the pollutant with the greatest impact on health. The main objective of this article was to estimate the impact of mortality attributable to particulate pollution in the city of Valencia during the period 2015-2017.

Methods: The Health Impact Assessment (HIA) methodology from the Aphekom project was used.

Preorthodontic dilacerated incisive crown modification in a pediatric patient: a case report.

Unlabelled: Dental dilacerations are abrupt deviations of the longitudinal axis of the crown or root portion of the tooth, caused by traumatic axial displacement of previously formed hard tissue in relation to the developing soft tissue.

Case Presentation: A 13-year-old boy in good general health was referred for root canal treatment of the maxillary left central incisor, for which abnormal crown morphology impeded orthodontic treatment. He presented bilateral crown dilaceration at both maxillary central incisors.

Retrospective Cohort Noninferiority Analysis of Barrier Cream in Preventing Pressure Injuries.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a dimethicone- and zinc-based barrier cream compared with hyperoxygenated fatty acids in preventing pressure injuries (PIs) in patients at high or very high risk.

Methods: Researchers conducted a retrospective noninferiority study in an inpatient acute care hospital in Spain that included hospitalized patients in nonsurgical departments with impaired mobility.

Results: The study authors reviewed 522 patients in a control group (hyperoxygenated fatty acids) and an experimental group (barrier cream) over a period of 7 days.

Methacrylate dressing on refractory venous leg ulcers.

Chronic leg ulcers can have a major impact on the quality of life of patients. These wounds can be complex and hard to heal, as several factors may affect the outcome. Underlying conditions, bacterial growth and excess moisture may prevent wounds from healing.

Breastfeeding Duration and Anogenital Distance in 2-Year-Old Infants.

Background: The anogenital distance (AGD) is an anthropometric marker determined by exposures to androgens in utero and throughout the first few months of life. Early exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as phthalates have been significantly associated with shortened AGD in boys. Limited studies have explored phthalate concentrations in breast milk and infant formula.

[Thoracic drainage].

Pleural pathology is a frequent clinical problem. In some cases, treatment includes draining the cavity which can be carried out by thoracentesis evacuators, but on occasions treatment requires maintaining a drainage permanently inside the pleural cavity Pleural drainage consists in inserting a catheter in the pleural sack to drain the presence of air; liquid or blood which causes a variable degree of lung collapse having a clinical consequence in function of the reserve breathing capacity the patient previously had and the degree of collapse. There are various models of thoracic tubes as well as systems to drain the pleural cavity and their spot for insertion depends on the type of pathology being dealt with for the patient under treatment.
