OBJECTIVE: To establish how health care service utilization patterns are associated with health-related quality of life (HRQL) perception in older adults. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study in adults aged 60 years or more was conducted in a random sample of 1150 beneficiaries of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in Mexico City during 2003. Health care services utilization was categorized as preventive or curative, which generated six usage profiles. HRQL was measured by means ...

A review about design, manufacture, and mechanobiology of biodegradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering is given. First, fundamental aspects about bone tissue engineering and considerations related to scaffold design are established. Second, issues related to scaffold biomaterials and manufacturing processes are discussed. Finally, mechanobiology of bone tissue and computational models developed for simulating how bone healing occurs inside a scaffold are described.

Background Clopidogrel is a pro-drug and its intestinal absorption is limited by the P-glycoprotein encoded by the ABCB1 gene. It is metabolized hepatically by cytochrome P450 enzymes encoded by CYP genes to produce an active metabolite that antagonizes the P2Y12 platelet receptor. Some patients exhibit poor clopidogrel responsiveness due to polymorphisms, resulting in thrombotic events. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between poor clopidogrel responsiveness and the ABCB1, ...

Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) comprises a group of pathologies in which the renal excretory function is chronically compromised. Most, but not all, forms of CKD are progressive and irreversible, pathological syndromes that start silently (i.e. no functional alterations are evident), continue through renal dysfunction and ends up in renal failure. At this point, kidney transplant or dialysis (renal replacement therapy, RRT) becomes necessary to prevent death derived from the inability of the ...

Many robust model predictive control (MPC) schemes require the online solution of a computationally demanding convex program. For deterministic MPC schemes, multiparametric programming was successfully applied to move offline most of the computation. In this paper, we adopt a general approximate multiparametric algorithm recently suggested for convex problems and propose to apply it to a classical robust MPC scheme. This approach enables one to implement a robust MPC controller in real time for systems ...

BACKGROUND: B-mode ultrasound can be used to measure diaphragm thickness at the zone of apposition. We believe it is necessary to develop normal values for diaphragm thickness at rest in a large group of healthy subjects and compare them with international results. METHODS: Ultrasound measurements of diaphragm thickness at expiratory rest were taken in 109 healthy individuals, with results stratified by sex, body mass index, and thorax circumference. The following methods were used for analysis and interpretation. ...

Mortality due to epidural hematoma is virtually restricted to patients who undergo surgery for that condition while in coma. The authors have analyzed the factors influencing the outcome of 64 patients who underwent epidural hematoma evacuation while in coma. These patients represented 41% of the 156 patients operated on for epidural hematoma at their centers after the introduction of computerized tomography (CT). Eighteen patients (28.1%) died, two (3.1%) became severely disabled, and 44 (68.8%) made ...
