Nitrous oxide activation by picoline-derived Ni-CNP hydrides.

Oxygen atom transfer (OAT) from NO to the Ni-H bond of proton-responsive picoline-derived CNP nickel complexes has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. These Ni-CNP complexes efficiently catalyse the reduction of NO with pinacolborane (HBpin) under mild conditions.

Sensory Reweighting During Bipedal Quiet Standing in Adolescents.

A cross-sectional, prospective, between-subjects design was used in this study to establish the differences in sensory reweighting of postural control among different ages during adolescence. A total of 153 adolescents (five age groups; 13-17 years old) performed bipedal standing in three sensory conditions (i.e.

Working Memory Task Influence in Postural Stability and Cognitive Function in Adolescents.

This paper describes a study on postural stability and cognitive function according to the difficulty increment of a working memory task (WMT) and age group in adolescents. One hundred and twenty-three participants (13-16 years) performed single and dual tasks in a bipedal standing position while barefoot. Four trials were conducted, consisting of single and dual tasks in three progressively difficult WMT conditions (i.

The Empathic Process and Misconceptions that Lead to Burnout in Healthcare Professionals.

Empathy has been identified as a relevant variable in order to predict burnout in healthcare professionals. In addition, assertiveness and self-esteem have been considered relevant variables to develop empathic capacity. In the other hand, misconceptions surrounding empathy constitute a risk factor for burnout.

Fatigue does not conjointly alter postural and cognitive performance when standing in a shooting position under dual-task conditions.

This study investigated the effects of fatigue on balance control and cognitive performance in a standing shooting position. Nineteen soldiers were asked to stand while holding a rifle (single task - ST). They also had to perform this postural task while simultaneously completing a cognitive task (dual task - DT).

Thromboprophylaxis in multiple myeloma patients treated with lenalidomide - A systematic review.

Background: Studies have consistently demonstrated the need for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) or relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), receiving lenalidomide-based therapy. However, the optimal approach has not yet been established.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of aspirin (ASA) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) prophylaxis in patients with myeloma using lenalidomide-based therapy.

The difficulty of postural tasks amplifies the effects of fatigue on postural stability.

Purpose: It was supposed that the difficulty of postural tasks accentuates the effects of fatigue on postural stability. The aim of this work was to compare the effects of fatiguing running on three different postural conditions presenting different levels of difficulty: a standing still position with the eyes open (EO condition), a standing still position with the eyes closed (EC condition) and a shooting position with the eyes open (SP condition). The SP condition required a rifle to be held horizontally with the arms and a standing posture with the non-dominant foot ahead of the dominant foot.

Characteristics and outcome of acute myocardial infarction in young patients. The PRIAMHO II study.

Background: The objective was to analyze the incidence, risk factors, management, and complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the young patient in Spain.

Methods: Clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcome were analyzed in patients younger than 45 years admitted with an AMI diagnosis to the Coronary Units of 58 Spanish hospitals from 15th May to 15th December 2000.

Results: Six thousand two hundred and ten consecutive patients were registered, 7% out of them were <45 years old.

Safety of coronary stenting early after thrombolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction: one- and six-month clinical and angiographic evolution.

To determine the feasibility and safety of early posthrombolysis coronary stenting and the incidence of further reocclusion, we followed 99 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction thrombolyzed with rt-PA 2.0 +/- 0.8 hr after onset.
