Cationic/Anionic Poly(p-Phenylene Oxide) Membranes: Preparation and Electrodialysis Performance for Nickel Recovery from Industrial Effluents.

Electrodialysis (ED) has already been applied to recover nickel in galvanizing processes, allowing nickel recovery and the production of a treated effluent with demineralized water quality. However, the growth in ED use is still limited by the production and commercialization of ion-selective membranes, currently limited to a few large companies. Therefore, this paper presents the development of homogeneous cationic and anionic membranes made from poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) for ED use.

Rare bleeding disorders: Real-world data from a Spanish tertiary hospital.

Introduction: Due to their low prevalence, rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) remain poorly characterized.

Aim: To gain insight of RBDs through our clinical practice.

Methods: Retrospective study of the medical records of RBD patients followed up at the Central University Hospital of Asturias between January 2019 and December 2022.

Applicability of the Thrombin Generation Test to Evaluate the Hemostatic Status of Hemophilia A Patients in Daily Clinical Practice.

Hemophilia A (HA) is a rare bleeding disorder caused by factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency due to various genetic mutations in the gene. The disease severity inversely correlates with the plasma levels of functional FVIII. The treatment of HA patients is based on FVIII replacement therapy, either following a prophylactic or on-demand regime, depending on the severity of the disease at diagnosis and the patient's clinical manifestations.

"Classifying D/s Profiles Without Prior Assumptions: An Application of Cluster Analysis to Social Data".

Dominant/submissive role-play (D/s) is associated with specialized roles including Mistress, Master, Slave, Switch, Sadist, and Masochist. The current study uses cluster analysis to provide empirical evidence that no binary opposition or single spectrum constitutes a workable typology of individuals based on their affinities for these roles. The optimality of a particular choice of clustering scheme, including the number of clusters, is established using a replication technique which is presented in detail.

Interprofessional primary care practice including social workers: exploring the experiences of patients in vulnerable situations.

The link between social inequality and health has been widely recognized, as there are systematic differences in health between people from lower and higher social classes. Furthermore, the complexity and multidimensionality of health and social problems has resulted in primary health care services that are increasingly integrating the approach of interprofessional collaboration between medical professionals and social workers. Despite this current focus, there is a lack of empirical insights into patients' experience of the quality of care resulting from these collaborations.
