[Euthanasia: a mixed-methods study on referents' experience in Catalonia].
Gac Sanit
December 2024
Centro de Atención Primaria Santa Eugènia de Berga, Barcelona, España; Comisión de Garantía y Evaluación de Catalunya (CGAC), España.
Objective: To identify strengths and challenges in the provision of assistance in dying (PAM) based on the experiences of the Catalan Health Institute (ICS) euthanasia referents.
Method: Mixed-methods study (n=31), using two closed-ended questionnaires (quantitative analysis) and two structured interviews with open-ended fields (qualitative analysis), self-administered via email. All ICS referents (n=50) received them.
Cumulative Effects of Watershed Disturbances and Run-of-river Dams on Mercury Cycling: Case Study and Recommendations for Environmental Managers.

Run-of-river power plants (ROR) represent the majority of hydroelectric plants worldwide. Their environmental impacts are not well documented and are believed to be limited, particularly regarding the contamination of food webs by methylmercury (MeHg), a neurotoxin. RORs are typically installed in small rivers where combined effects of watershed disturbances with dam construction can complicate environmental management.

Introduction And Objective: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (PLAR) seems to improve functional outcomes, however there is not a consensus of a standard procedure. The aim of this study was to identify the PLAR "state of art" in Catalonia, Spain.
Material And Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey-based study conducted among urologists across Catalonia, Spain.
Endothelial cells and macrophages as allies in the healthy and diseased brain.

Diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are often associated with vascular disturbances or inflammation and frequently both. Consequently, endothelial cells and macrophages are key cellular players that mediate pathology in many CNS diseases. Macrophages in the brain consist of the CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs) [also referred to as border-associated macrophages (BAMs)] and microglia, both of which are close neighbours or even form direct contacts with endothelial cells in microvessels.

Run-of-river (ROR) power plants impound limited terrestrial areas compared to traditional hydropower plants with large reservoirs and are assumed to have reduced impacts on mercury cycling. We conducted a study on periphyton and benthic communities from different habitats of the St. Maurice River (Québec, Canada) affected by two ROR power plants and their effect on the bioaccumulation and biomagnification of monomethylmercury (MMHg).
