Search

This research proposes a methodological approach to search floating bodies or floating body parts in rivers using hydroinformatic tools. These tools may allow possible search locations and potential release sites to be determined. The approach draws from hydrometric field information, two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic modeling, particle tracking (PT) models, and large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV). This methodology was applied to a case study of the La Miel river in Colombia, where existing reports of deceased persons are available. A series of hydraulic accidents have been defined to represent the hydrodynamic and transport processes that occur in such situations. The results indicate that potential search locations, namely places where human floating bodies or floating body parts may be found, are principally on the left and right shores of recirculation systems.

B Background: b attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder in children, and its prevalence is increasing. Since every treatment consideration depends on a risk/benefit analysis, the patients and their parents should fully understand short and long-term risks as well as benefits compared to non-treatment of ADHD.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the sociodemographic factors modulating psychopathological response of the general population in Spain during the first two weeks of confinement due to COVID-19 state of alarm. Psychological distress in the last 7 days was assessed using the Global Severity Index (GSI) of the Spanish adaptation of the Brief Symptom Inventory. [Extracted from the article]

Objectives To appraise the rate of grade 3–4 transaminase elevations (TEs) and grade 4 total bilirubin elevation (TBE) in patients co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C or hepatitis B virus (HCV or HBV, respectively) who receive atazanavir/ritonavir. Moreover, the relationship between these events and the degree of prior liver fibrosis was evaluated. Methods A cohort of 189 HIV-infected patients, 175 co-infected with HCV, 4 with HBV and 10 with both, receiving atazanavir/ritonavir, was analysed. Baseline liver fibrosis was assessed in 113 (60%) patients. Twenty-four patients had cirrhosis, whereas such a diagnosis was ruled out in 58 patients. Results Twelve (6%) and 28 (15%) patients developed grade 3–4 TEs and grade 4 TBE, respectively. Eight (10%) of 84 patients with fibrosis ≥F2 versus 1 of 29 (3%) with F0-F1 (P = 0.51) developed grade 3–4 TEs. The frequencies of grade 3–4 TEs in patients with and without cirrhosis were 8% and 5% (P = 0.63), respectively. Grade 4 TBE was more common among patients with cirrhosis (35% versus 13%, P = 0.05) in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate study, the only predictor of grade 3–4 TEs was baseline CD4 cell count P = 0.04]. The factors independently associated with grade 4 TBE were baseline total bilirubin >1 mg/dL [AOR (95% CI) = 3.2 (1.21–8.45), P = 0.01] and age >40 years [AOR (95% CI) = 2.98 (1.19–7.47), P = 0.02]. Conclusions Prior significant liver fibrosis or cirrhosis do not increase substantially the risk of severe TE associated with atazanavir/ritonavir in patients co-infected with HIV and hepatitis viruses.
