The heterogeneous interfaces in TCNFs-TiO2 are beneficial for the interfacial polarization relaxation. Besides, the hybrids are enriched with numerous pores to favor the lightweight absorbers. The desirable design in the microstructure can provide a promising route in wide-band and lightweight microwave absorbents.
To evaluate the effects of three different estrogen used for endometrium preparation on pregnancy rate, as well as hormone profile on day 5 frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
Retrospective, observational study. Setting A tertiary teaching and research private reproductive medicine center. click here Patients Ninety patients who were undergoing endometrium preparation for day five frozen embryo transfer cycle (FET). Intervention(s) The women were divided in three groups according to the administration route of estrogen (E2) oral (Primogyna), transdermal patches (Estradot), or transdermal gel (Oestrogel Pump). These administration routines of estrogen are equivalent to 6mg of estradiol daily. All women received 600mg of vaginal progesterone (P) per day (Utrogestan) for luteal phase support. We drew blood samples on starting P day, as well as on beta hCG day for E2 and P measurements. Main Outcome Measure(s) Clinical pregnancy rates (PR).
Patient features in the three groups were comparable. There were no significant differences concerning implantation rate, clinical PR, miscarriage rate, multiple-pregnancy rate, or E2 and P levels on starting P day and on beta hCG day.
In FET cycles with oral (Primogyna) or transdermal patches (Estradot), or transdermal gel (Oestrogel Pump), there was no significant difference on pregnancy rates.

HIV infection is one of the main public health problems worldwide and more than 30 years after the description of the first case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a stage that reflects the final clinical expression with the consequent destruction of the immune system, its impact on health systems is very important. A balanced diet and the regular practice of physical activity contribute to maintaining an adequate nutritional status, which together with highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) delay the development of the disease
To analyze whether intake of macronutrient and physical activity are associated with the nutritional status of patients with HIV under HAART.
Were included 31 adults of both sexes with HIV under HAART without prior comorbidity, willing to participate with consent and assisted in a Private Clinic of Córdoba Capital city between 2016-2017. The lipid and glycemic profiles were recorded from the medical records. Were assessed the body mass index (BMI), macronutrient intake and physical activity Fisher was applied with p <0.05.
Fifteen patients (48.4%) presented normal BMI and 14 (45.2%) overweight/obesity. The average percentage distribution of macronutrient intake was adequate. Twelve patients (38.7%) performed 60 min/day to light activities and 11 (35.5%) to moderate/vigorous activities. No association was found between nutritional status and physical activity level, nor between nutritional status and macronutrient consumption.
The prevalence of overweight/obesity and low levels of physical activity are similar to the general population.

Electrical burns account for 3 to 4% of all burns. The most common sites of impact are the cardiovascular system, muscle tissue, neurological and skin. The commitment of the respiratory system is uncommon, with few cases reported in the literature.
26-year-old male patient who enters after high-voltage electrical injury. He presented skin and respiratory distress engagement with requirement of mechanical respiratory assistance, deep sedation and neuromuscular blockade.
There are few reported cases in the literature of lung injury associated with electrical trauma. Recognizing the respiratory system as a possible site of impact by highlighting the importance of advanced life support is critical.

Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) or Clarkson's disease is unusual but potentially lethal, characterized by recurrent shock incidents and anasarca secondary to idiopathic increase of capillary permeability. In such a context, the use of venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) as cardiorespiratory support is a rescue action that seeks hemodynamic stability generation until spontaneous disappearance of the capillary occurs with the objective of surpassing the complications of resorption phase.
A 42 year old patient presented ISCLS and required ECMO as hemodynamic support for 8 days. She remained 20 days in Intensive Care Unit and was given hospital release after 43 days.
The use of ECMO in the reported case was a useful strategy in the ISCLS management as a bridge to recovery both in the leak stage and the fluid resorption phase. Notwithstanding its indication is limited to thoroughly selected patients and requires further debate between specialists about its risks and benefits.

Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is a pathology that increases with age. RESULTS 446 patients were included, 63% (292) were older than 65 years. Survival was lower in the elderly compared to the young (p 0.007), at 3 months 87% vs. 95% and at one year 73% vs. 87%, respectively. The elderly had a HRc1.71 and HR at 1.68. The overall recurrence was 5% (95% CI 3-8) at one month, 6% (95% CI 4-9) at 3 months, 8% (95% CI). 6-11) at one year and 13% (95% CI 9-18) at two years. No association was found between age and recurrence sub hazard 0.8 (CI 0.34-1.86). Bleeding occurred in 9% (39) of the patients.
to compare the survival of the elderly and the young with a first episode of acute and symptomatic VTE.
Prospective cohort of incident VTE cases included in the Institutional Registry of Venous Thromboembolic Disease (NCT01372514) of the Italian Hospital of Buenos Aires between 2012-2014, divided into young groups (17-64 years old) and elderly (65 years old). All the patients were followed annually to assess the time to recurrence (progression or new symptomatic event of VTE) as competitive events in the context of death and major bleeding.
