Remote Optical Monitor of Blood Oxygenation

Pulse oximetry is a widely used technique in biomedical analyses. It enables monitoring the percentage of saturated hemoglobin and heart pulse in a noninvasive way.The mandatory permanence of patients in medical facilitiesdue to continuous measurements of blood oxygen saturationand cardiac pulse can be avoided by taking advantage of nowadays telecommunications technologies. This paperdescribes a pulse oximeter ...

A Java expression evaluator for nonlinear programming

Finding the optimal value for a problem is usual in many areas of knowledge where in many cases it is needed to solve Nonlinear Optimization Problems. For some of those problems it is not possible to determine the expression for its objective function and/or its constraints, they are the result of experimental procedures, might be non-smooth, among other reasons. To solve such problems it was implemented an API...

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus associated with tenofovir administration: report...

Tenofovirrenal toxicity, particularly when associated with other antiretrovirals, has been reported in the adult HIV-positive population. Reports in HIVpositive children are very rare. The authors report a paediatric case of nephrotoxicity associated with tenofovir and didanosine, emtricitabine and lopinavirritonavir coadministration. A 12-year-old girl with AIDS (clinical stage C) with a multidrug-resistant v...

Foram utilizados 159 cavalos Pampa, registrados na Associação Brasileira dos Criadores de Cavalo Pampa, e um grupo-controle, de 32 cavalos da raça Paint, ambos os grupos provenientes de plantéis de diferentes regiões brasileiras, com o objetivo de comparar os testes bioquímico e molecular para detecção de marcadores genéticos para pelagem tobiana em cavalos Pampa. Houve diferença significativa (P<0,001) entre o...

Advantages of using raw materials in low cost sustainable structural solutions ...

In the last decades, the Portuguese housing building industry has been mainly fo-cused on the construction based on reinforced concrete framed structures and non-structural clay brick masonry for exterior and interior partition walls. Recently, this industry started to in-clude alternative structural materials, such as steel and timber. The earth based construction techniques and solutions still remains limited...

SÍNDROME METABÓLICA NA GRAVIDEZ COMO FACTOR PREDITIVO DE OUTCOMES OBSTÉTRICOS E...

O reconhecimento da Síndrome Metabólica (SM) durante a gravidez poderá ajudar a identificar um conjunto de mulheres que não só terão um risco aumentado para desenvolver complicações cardiovasculares e metabólicas mais tardiamente na vida, mas também, potencialmente, estarão em risco de desenvolver uma patologia relacionada com a gravidez. A implementação do rastreio da SM, na segunda metade da gravidez, poderá ...
