UNLABELLED Clinical simulation has emerged as a powerful new tool for the learning and assessment of different skills and attitudes in patient care, by using innovative technology such as high fidelity simulators (HFS). OBJECTIVE To describe the current state of high fidelity clinical simulation in Spain and its principal characteristics. METHODS Descriptive observational study that analyze...

The infinite-order regular approximation (IORA) and IORA with modified metric (IORAmm) is used to develop an algorithm for calculating relativistically corrected isotropic hyperfine structure (HFS) constants. The new method is applied to the calculation of alkali atoms Li-Fr, coinage metal atoms Cu, Ag, and Au, the Hg(+) radical ion, and the mercury containing radicals HgH, HgCH(3), HgCN, and H...

With advancing age, alterations in the trabecular meshwork of human eyes include hyalinization, proliferation of long-spacing collagen, and reduction in the number and size of the vacuolated cells in the endothelial lining of the trabecular wall. These altera­ tions are thought to lead to an increase in the resistance to aqueous outflow. However, in aging persons whose eyes are healthy, pres­ s...

Pups from the strains 129SvEv/Bkl and C57BL/6/Bkl and F1 hybrids of these were subjected to an analysis of the development of swimming pattern (from the day of birth until 21 days old) to study the neuromuscular development of neonatal and juvenile mice of common laboratory strains in gene modification programmes. Swimming as a parameter of scrutiny was chosen because it requires total coordina...

In 1969 Winchester et all described two PuertoRican sisters aged four and 12 years, the offspring of first cousins, as having "a new acid mucopolysaccharidosis with skeletal deformities simulating rheumatoid arthritis". Brown and Kuwabara2 described the same sibs from the ophthalmological point of view at the ages of five and 13 years. Hollister et a13 4 reported two sisters and a male cousin f...

Differential susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy has been observed in humans, but it has not been well defined in inbred strains of mice. The present studies characterized the severity of diabetic nephropathy in six inbred mouse strains including C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, FVB/NJ, MRL/MpJ, A/J, and KK/HlJ mice. Diabetes mellitus was induced using low-dose streptozotocin injection. Progression of rena...

Background: Lupus Nephritis (LN) and retinopathy are organ-threatening manifestation of Systemic Erythematosus (SLE) both share common pathophysiology represented by microvascular damage. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a recent non-invasive technique showing retinal vascular Objectives: To analyze alterations in SLE-LN patients investigate correlations between ocular renal i...
