Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a porous microstructure in carbon materials for improved performance in supercapacitors, specifically using silicon oxycarbide-derived carbon (SiOC-DC) created through chlorine etching after pyrolysis.
- A novel approach involves analyzing non-conventional Raman parameters alongside microstructural characteristics to connect them to the materials' electrochemical responses.
- The findings show that the sample pyrolyzed at 1100 °C exhibited the best electrochemical performance due to its optimal structure, while higher pyrolysis temperatures lead to more ordered carbon but reduced specific surface area and pore volume, negatively impacting performance.
With the aim of obtaining a map which is useful as a diagnostic tool and therapeutical orientation, complementing the written report of duplex ultrasound venous study, Latin-American Scientific Societies of Phlebology, Vascular Surgery and Vascular Imaging were invited to participate, through their regional representatives, to the First Consensus of Superficial and Perforating Venous Mapping. A consensus process using a modified Delphi method was carried out. An International Working Group was formed, which developed a Prototype of the Venous Mapping that worked as a starting point for consensus, and was presented in a first virtual meeting of 54 experts (societies' representatives) when the methodology was explained.

Nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC) are the most common human malignancies. IKKα is an essential protein for skin development and is also involved in the genesis and progression of NMSC, through mechanisms not fully understood. While different studies show that IKKα protects against skin cancer, others indicate that it promotes NMSC.

In addition, we evaluated intraobserver and interobserver agreement in the grading of RA-like tendon tears shown by US, as well as the concordance between the US findings and the surgically induced lesions in the cadaver model. RA-like tendon damage was surgically induced in the tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) and tibialis posterior tendon (TPT) of ten ankle/foot fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens.
