Skin Tear Treatment with Hayne in Polymeric Hydrogel: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

A double-blind, randomized, and controlled clinical trial with therapeutic intervention was performed at a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro to evaluate whether the addition of Hayne oleoresin to a carboxypolymethylene hydrogel is more effective in skin tear healing than standard treatment. The sample consisted of 84 patients, predominantly men, with a mean age of 67.37 years.

Infrared thermography as a non-invasive method to quantify the heat stress response in weaned piglets after road transport in a semi-arid region.

Heat stress (HS) is one of the main factors associated with welfare concerns during animal transport. The use of infrared thermography (IRT) for digitally monitoring HS in weaned piglets during transportation in a semi-arid region was investigated in the present study. A total of 60 focal piglets (25 ± 2.

Adjudication of Codes for Identifying Sepsis in Hospital Administrative Data by Expert Consensus.

Objectives: Refine the administrative data definition of sepsis in hospitalized patients, including less severe cases.

Design And Setting: For each of 1928 infection and 108 organ dysfunction codes used in Canadian hospital abstracts, experts reached consensus on the likelihood that it could relate to sepsis. We developed a new algorithm, called AlgorithmL, that requires at least one infection and one organ dysfunction code adjudicated as likely or very likely to be related to sepsis.

Breakdown of thermalization in spin chains with single-ion anisotropy.

The principles of ergodicity and thermalization constitute the foundation of statistical mechanics, positing that a many-body system progressively loses its local information as it evolves. Nevertheless, these principles can be disrupted when thermalization dynamics lead to the conservation of local information, as observed in the phenomenon known as many-body localization. Quantum spin chains provide a fundamental platform for exploring the dynamics of closed interacting quantum many-body systems.
