Electrical bioimpedance analysis and comparison in biological tissues through crystalloid solutions implementation.

Electrical bioimpedance is a non-invasive and radiation-free technique that was proposed to be used in different clinical areas, however, its practical use is limited due to its low capacity to discriminate between tissues. In order to overcome this limitation, our research group proposes to incorporate the contrast media into the electrical bioimpedance procedure. The main objective of the present study was to assess the crystalloid solutions as a possible contrast media to discriminate between different tissue types in the bioimpedance technique.

Legal Violence, Health, and Access to Care: Latina Immigrants in Rural and Urban Kansas.

Using interviews and ethnography started in 2016 in rural and urban Kansas, we examine the consequences of an amplified immigration enforcement combined with a local limited health care infrastructure that reproduce legal violence manifesting on Latina immigrants' health, access to care, and community participation. We highlight the conditions rooted in place that generate short- and long-term negative impacts for Latina immigrants' health. Fear and anxiety about the deportation of themselves and their family members make them ill and also generate apprehension about contacting medical institutions, driving, and spending time in public spaces.

Refugee Health Curriculum in Undergraduate Medical Education (UME): A Scoping Review.

There is increasing interest among educators in developing educational opportunities for medical students to gain more training on how to care for this population.
