Abstract Background The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in 2011, developed the “Total Worker Health®” (TWH) as a holistic approach to protect and promote the workers’ safety, health, and well-being. After over ten years from the TWH development, the aim of the present systematic review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the worldwide TWH initiatives. Methods PubMed, Scopus and ISI Web of Science were searched for TWH studies published up to the 31st of July 2023, and 43 investigations could be included. The review was registered on the International prospective register of systematic reviews PROSPERO with the reference number CRD42023416972. Results Issues that emerged as relevant for the TWH operationalization were the awareness about the TWH approach and fundamentals, the leadership commitment, and a participatory engagement of the workforce: these aspects all contributed to acceptable and effective setting oriented TWH plans, specifically tailored on the peculiarities of the workplace, including small enterprises and multiemployer worksites. Evaluation and continual improvement were reported as fundamental for the successful implementation of TWH initiatives. Limited resources for safety and health initiatives, in terms of time, people, and funds, together with difficulties in the identification of safety and health priorities and a poor participatory culture were recognized as obstacles to the TWH application. Training resulted the core component of the TWH leadership and workforce preparedness, with beneficial results in terms of safety culture and adoption of preventive measures. Conclusions Although interesting aspects emerged from our review, future longitudinal investigations should confirm the effectiveness, easy integration, and long-term sustainability of TWH models in different workplaces, in order to effectively support safe and health-enhancing works able to improve innovation and productivity.

IntroductionVaccination practice is a well-known individual protective measure for biological risk in healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic vaccine hesitancy has grown among healthcare workers (HCWs). The study aims to investigate how vaccine hesitancy influences the psychological burden experienced by healthcare workers.MethodsThis study aimed to explore attitudes of HCWs in acceptance or refusal of vaccinations related to the risk of psychological impairment (PI) and describe the associated occupational factors, during the seasonal flu/COVID-19 vaccination campaign of 2022–2023. 302 HCWs were enrolled in the study. A questionnaire was self-administered, including two scales on the risk of psychological impairment (Psychological Injury Risk Indicator, PIRI) and vaccine hesitancy (Adult Vaccine Hesitancy Scale, AVHS).ResultsPIRI scores revealed that 29.8% of participants were at risk of PI. Differences in sex, age, occupational seniority, professional category, and night shifts were found between HCWs at risk of PI and those not at risk. Females registered a four-fold higher risk than males (85.6% vs. 14.4%, χ2 = 4.450, p

A complete understanding of the stability of fluid flows under varying magnetic field profiles is imperative for achieving control of plasma and operating fluids in the blankets of future fusion reactors. In this context, the primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of varying magnetic profiles on the flow regime of a generic fluid, which is representative of both thermonuclear plasma and conductive fluids within a nuclear fusion reactor. To this aim in this work non-modal stability theory is adopted to perform stability analysis of a magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) flow in an infinite circular pipe in order to study the effects of the magnetic field on the fluid dynamics of the pipe flow. In particular, the effects on the general stability of two magnetic field profiles are compared with the reference case of a pipe Poiseuille flow without magnetic field. Firstly, the classic modal stability technique is employed to study asymptotical stability. Then, non-modal stability analysis is applied to magneto-hydrodynamic pipe flow to study the system's response for a finite time immediately after a perturbation. Fourier–Chebyshev Petrov–Galerkin spectral method is used to compute the eigenvalues and pseudospectra of the weak formulation associated with the linearised system. Investigations on the dependence of spectra and transient growths on the specific magnetic profiles are conducted for different values of perturbation wave numbers. The obtained results show that in general the magnetic field has an effect of stabilization on the system, which depends on the specific magnetic profile considered. In addition, the non-modal stability analysis reveals that the inclusion of the magnetic field mitigates the effects of perturbations also in the short term, a phenomenon that cannot be seen using only modal stability analysis.

Hip arthroplasty failures (either septic or aseptic) often require multiple revisions, thus leading to severe bone defects. The most common reconstruction methods do not allow the management of severe defects. For this reason, in recent years, techniques borrowed from surgical oncology have been applied in the field of revision surgery to deal with both acetabular and femoral bone losses. In this article, two cases of severe bone deficiency following multiple hip arthroplasty revisions that were treated with a custom-made hip prosthesis combined with a proximal femur megaprosthesis are presented. Both implants were silver coated. A review of the literature was conducted to analyze similar cases treated with either a custom-made prosthesis or a proximal femur megaprosthesis. At the 2-year follow-up, all prostheses were in site without clinical or radiographic signs of implant loosening. No postoperative complications occurred. At the last follow-up, both patients resumed their daily life activities with an MSTS score of 23 and 21, respectively. The combined approach of a proximal femur megaprosthesis with a custom-made partial pelvic replacement is a solution that allows severe bone deficiency cases to be tackled with good functional results. Additionally, silver coating may help prevent recurrence of infection.

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are a high-risk group for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Notably, about 5–10% of the general population does not respond to the HBV vaccination. In this study, we aimed to investigate DNA methylation (DNAm) in order to estimate the biological age of B cells from HCW of both sexes, either responder (R) or non-responder (NR), to HBV vaccination. We used genome-wide DNA methylation data to calculate a set of biomarkers in B cells collected from 41 Rs and 30 NRs between 22 and 62 years old. Unresponsiveness to HBV vaccination was associated with accelerated epigenetic aging (DNAmAge, AltumAge, DunedinPoAm) and was accompanied by epigenetic drift. Female non-responders had higher estimates of telomere length and lower CRP inflammation risk score when compared to responders. Overall, epigenetic differences between responders and non-responders were more evident in females than males. In this study we demonstrated that several methylation DNAm-based clocks and biomarkers are associated with an increased risk of non-response to HBV vaccination, particularly in females. Based on these results, we propose that accelerated epigenetic age could contribute to vaccine unresponsiveness. These insights may help improve the evaluation of the effectiveness of vaccination strategies, especially among HCWs and vulnerable patients.

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMT) are rare neoplasms, which can give rise to a multifaceted syndrome, otherwise called tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). Localizing these tumors is crucial to obtain a cure for the phosphate metabolism derangement, which is often the main cause leading the patient to seek medical help, because of invalidating physical and neuromuscular symptoms. A proportion of these tumors is completely silent and may grow unnoticed, unless they become large enough to produce pain or discomfort. FGF-23 can be produced by several benign or malignant PMTs. The phosphate metabolism, radiology and histology of these rare tumors must be collectively assessed by a multidisciplinary team aimed at curing the disease locally and improving patients’ quality of life. This narrative review, authored by multiple specialists of a tertiary care hospital center, will describe endocrine, radiological and histological features of these tumors, as well as present surgical and interventional strategies to manage PMTs.

Infantile hemangiomas arise from the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and represent the most common benign tumors in infancy, with an estimated incidence of 4-10% in Caucasian infants. They vary according to their number, depth, and distribution. Within the latter classification are the so-called segmental ones, which feature an extensive distribution in areas of embryonic mesodermal extensions. We report the case of a patient evaluated at one and a half months of life with an extensive hemangioma of the mandibular area and anterior neck (segmental hemangioma of the beard). We describe the importance of complementary studies for evaluating the involvement of underlying organs, detecting associated syndromes, and defining the treatment based on these findings.

ABSTRACTHealthcare workers (HCWs) are the target population for vaccination against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as they are at a high risk of exposure and transmission of pathogens to patients. Neutralizing antibodies developed after COVID-19 vaccination decline within few months of vaccination. Several factors, including age and sex, can affect the intensity, efficacy, and duration of immune response to vaccines. However, sex-specific analyses of humoral responses to COVID-19 vaccines are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate sex-based differences in anti-S/RBD (Receptor Binding Domain) responses at three different time points after the second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in HCWs in relation to age, and to investigate the role of sex hormones as potential markers of response. Anti-S/RBD levels after two doses of the mRNA vaccine were collected from 521 HCWs naïve to COVID-19, working at two Italian Clinical Centers. Multiple regression analysis was applied to evaluate the association between anti-S levels and sex, age, and plasma levels of sex hormones. Significantly higher anti-S/RBD response to the COVID-19 vaccination was found in female HCWs, and a significant and more abrupt decline in response with time was observed in women than that in men. A novel, positive association of testosterone plasma levels and higher anti-S levels in male HCWs was found, suggesting its potential role as sex specific marker in males. In conclusion, understanding the sex-based differences in humoral immune responses to vaccines may potentially improve vaccination strategies and optimize surveillance programs for HCWs.

Scrotal calcinosis is a benign and infrequent disease that presents in middle-aged adults with multiple asymptomatic nodules on the scrotal skin. Some authors link the appearance of these lesions to secondary calcification of epidermal or eccrine cysts. When not due to these entities or alterations of phosphocalcic metabolism, they become idiopathic. The treatment of choice is surgery in case of impact on the patient's quality of life or aesthetic relevance.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, various adverse drug reactions were observed. This could have been related to a greater immunological susceptibility of patients with SARS-CoV-2 to present this type of symptoms, as well as exposure to multiple drugs used in their treatment. We report the case of a patient with a severe respiratory infection due to COVID-19, who presented 2 serious adverse drug reactions associated with paracetamol in a short period of time.

Background: Even if clinical evidence on effectiveness is still lacking, innovative technological solutions like robotic gait training technologies are gaining increasing attention in pediatric neuromotor rehabilitation. Aim: This study aims to provide clinical-technological analysis for pediatric rehabilitation centers, build a rationale for driving future ideal rehabilitative pathways, and identify the most relevant criteria to evaluate robotic rehabilitation of the gait. Design: Pre-post test design. Setting: The robotic device comprises a bilaterally driven gait orthosis, computer-controlled guidance, and a non-immersive virtual reality system. Robotic-assisted locomotor treadmill therapy (RAGT) training was customized regarding training onset, duration, and specific gait parameters. Population: We assessed 47 patients (mean age: 9.6 years, SD: 3.8 years; 23 females) with several neurologic diseases subjected to RAGT and patient-centered therapy (i.e., traditional therapy). Methods: Inpatients were assessed in motor control, gait, cognition, and autonomies. The clinical investigation was integrated with a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) study, to investigate the introduction and impact of RAGT compared to patient-centered rehabilitation techniques and identify the most relevant criteria to assess the use of robotic rehabilitation technologies. Results: The Patient-centered vs. Hybrid (RAGT+patient-centered) group showed a statistically significant difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment in Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFM) total mean score (p=0.02). A significant increase in the distance walked in 6 minutes was found in the comparison between pre and post-treatment evaluation in the hybrid group: average pre-post 126 vs. 156 meters (t(13) = 2.78: p

A case–control study including 446 workers reporting headaches (cases; 136 males and 310 females, mean age 46.71 ± 10.84 years) and 446 age- and sex-matched colleagues without headaches (controls; mean age 45.44 ± 10.13) was conducted in the second half of 2020 in a sample drawn from socio health and commercial services companies to investigate the association of headache with lifestyle, metabolic, and work-related factors. Workers suffering from headache reported higher body weight (OR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.46–2.53, p < 0.001), higher blood cholesterol (OR: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.46–2.77, p < 0.001), triglyceride (OR: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.20–3.35, p < 0.01), blood glucose (OR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.16–3.24, p < 0.01), and blood pressure levels (OR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.23–2.52, p < 0.01). In the year preceding the survey, cases had experienced a higher frequency of workplace violence (OR: 2.29, 95% CI: 1.25–4.20, p < 0.01 for physical aggression, OR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.45–3.41, p < 0.001 for threat, OR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.72–4.38, p < 0.001 for harassment) and were more frequently distressed (effort/reward ratio > 1) (OR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.39–2.40, p < 0.001) than the controls. Compared to the controls, cases also had higher scores on anxiety and depression scales, lower scores on happiness, and lower levels of sleep quality (p < 0.001). The association of headaches with metabolic and mental health problems suggests that monitoring headaches in the workplace could help to identify workers at risk of impairment.

In this work, the migration of a three-dimensional (3D) spherical crystal in the presence of mobile particles using a Monte Carlo algorithm was studied. Different concentrations of particles (f) and different particle mobilities ([M.sub.p]) were used. It was found that the grain size reaches a critical radius ([R.sub.c]), which depends exclusively on f. This dependence can be written as [R.sub.c] [varies] [f.sup.1/3]. The dynamic equation of grain size evolution and its analytical solution were also found. The proposed analytical solution successfully fits the simulation results. The particle fraction in the grain boundary was also found analytically and it fits the computational data. Key words: grain boundary migration, mobile particle drag, Zener drag, Monte Carlo. Nous utilisons ici un algorithme Monte Carlo pour etudier la migration de cristaux spheriques 3D en presence de particules mobiles. Nous utilisons differentes concentrations de particules (f) et differentes mobilites de particules ([M.sub.p]). Nous trouvons que la grosseur de grain atteint un rayon critique ([R.sub.c]) qui depend exclusivement de f. Cette dependance peut s'ecrire comme [R.sub.c] [varies] [f.sup.1/3]. Nous trouvons egalement l'equation dynamique de l'evolution de la grosseur de grain avec sa solution analytique. La solution analytique proposee correspond avec succes aux resultats de simulation.

Los hemangiomas infantiles son el resultado de la proliferación de células del endotelio vascular y representan los tumores benignos más frecuentes en la infancia, con una incidencia estimada del 4-10% en bebés caucásicos. Se clasifican según el número, la profundidad y la distribución. Dentro de esta última clasificación se encuentran aquellos denominados segmentarios, que se caracterizan por su distribución extensa en áreas de prolongaciones mesodérmicas embrionarias. Se comunica el caso de una paciente evaluada al mes y medio de vida, con un hemangioma extenso del área mandibular y cuello anterior (hemangioma segmentario de la barba). Se describe la importancia de los estudios complementarios para evaluar el compromiso de órganos subyacentes, para detectar síndromes asociados y definir el tratamiento sobre la base de estos resultados.

Abstract Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral rickettsial disease caused by Coxsackievirus A16 and Enterovirus 71 in most cases. It is commonly seen in children under ten years old, who present oral enanthema and a macular, maculopapular, or vesicular rash on their hands and feet. However, an increase in cases caused by other viral serotypes was observed in adults in recent years with various clinical presentations and a troublesome diagnosis. Three cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease are reported to show the clinical variability and diagnostic complexity that this disease may present in adult patients.

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are a high-risk group for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Notably, about 5–10% of the general population does not respond to the HBV vaccination. In this study, we aimed to investigate DNA methylation (DNAm) in order to estimate the biological age of B cells from HCW of both sexes, either responder (R) or non-responder (NR), to HBV vaccination. We used genome-wide DNA methylation data to calculate a set of biomarkers in B cells collected from 41 Rs and 30 NRs between 22 and 62 years old. Unresponsiveness to HBV vaccination was associated with accelerated epigenetic aging (DNAmAge, AltumAge, DunedinPoAm) and was accompanied by epigenetic drift. Female non-responders had higher estimates of telomere length and lower CRP inflammation risk score when compared to responders. Overall, epigenetic differences between responders and non-responders were more evident in females than males. In this study we demonstrated that several methylation DNAm-based clocks and biomarkers are associated with an increased risk of non-response to HBV vaccination, particularly in females. Based on these results, we propose that accelerated epigenetic age could contribute to vaccine unresponsiveness. These insights may help improve the evaluation of the effectiveness of vaccination strategies, especially among HCWs and vulnerable patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Over 20% of healthcare workers (HCWs) are active smokers. Smoking is a targeted issue for workplace health promotion (WHP) programs. Objective: Our study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stop Smoking Promotion (SSP) intervention, a 6-hour training course for HCWs, which took place from May 2018 to July 2019. Methods: We compared HCWs who successfully quit smoking (n = 15) to those who did not (n = 25) in terms of Sickness Absence Days (SADs). Moreover, we conducted an econometric analysis by calculating the return on investment and implementing a break-even analysis. Findings: Among the 40 enrolled workers, a success rate of 37.5% was observed after a span of over two years from the SSP intervention (with nurses and physicians showed the best success rate). Overall, participants showed a noticeable absenteeism reduction after the SSP intervention, with a reduction rate of 85.0% in a one-year period. The estimated ROI for the hospital was 1.90, and the break-even point was 7.85. In other words, the organization nearly doubled its profit from the investment, and the success of at least eight participants balanced costs and profits. Conclusion: Our pilot study confirms that WHP programs are simple and cost-saving tools which may help improve control over the smoking pandemic in healthcare settings.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common invasive cancer in the world. Most BC survivors (BCSs) continue working while dealing with cancer-related disabilities. BCSs’ return-to-work (RTW) after cancer treatment is an important stage of their recovery and is associated with a higher survival rate. In this study, we addressed the RTW of BCSs with the intention of facilitating this process through direct action in the workplace. Thirty-two women who requested assistance from January to December 2022 were enrolled in the study. Semi-structured interviews and medical examinations were conducted by a team of three physicians. Interviews were analyzed using Thematic Analysis. Moreover, a quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted to compare the health status of BCSs with that of a control group of 160 working women, using standardized questionnaires on work ability, fatigue, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and happiness. BCSs were also asked to rate the level of organizational justice they perceived at work prior to their illness. From the qualitative analysis emerged three facilitating/hindering themes: (1) person-related factors, (2) company-related factors, and (3) society-related factors. In the quantitative analysis, BCSs had significantly higher scores for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and fatigue, and lower levels of happiness than controls. The RTW of BCSs entails adapting working conditions and providing adequate support. The work-related analysis of each case made it possible to highlight the measures that need to be taken in the workplace to promote RTW. The treatment of cancer should be paired with advice on the best way to regain the ability to work.

Introducción: la radiodermitis es uno de los efectos secundarios más frecuentes de la radioterapia y afecta aproximadamente al 95% de los pacientes que la reciben. La radiodermitis aguda se presenta dentro de los 90 días posteriores al inicio del tratamiento, tiene un profundo impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes y puede ser la causa de la interrupción prematura de la radioterapia. Su tratamiento es complejo y el papel de los corticoides sistémicos en él aún no ha sido evaluado. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo de 6 pacientes mayores de 18 años con radiodermitis grave, tratados con corticoides sistémicos al no responder a la terapia tópica inicial. Hubo un seguimiento de 6 meses, entre el 1 de junio de 2019 y el 30 de mayo de 2020, en el Servicio de Dermatología del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. Resultados: se indicó tratamiento con corticoides sistémicos en dosis de meprednisona 40 mg/día o equivalentes, durante 5 días, con resolución completa del cuadro en un período máximo de 15 días. Discusión: en la bibliografía no hemos encontrado trabajos científicos que comuniquen o evalúen la utilidad de los corticoides sistémicos en la radiodermitis grave. Proponemos, entonces, demostrar su utilidad en esta patología. Conclusión: el objetivo de este trabajo es comunicar nuestra experiencia en pacientes con radiodermitis aguda grave, con gran repercusión en el estado general, que evolucionaron con una rápida resolución del cuadro y un adecuado manejo sintomático, mediante el uso de corticoides sistémicos.

Background: Femoral neck fractures are an epidemiologically significant issue with major effects on patients and health care systems, as they account for a large percentage of bone injuries in the elderly. Hip hemiarthroplasty is a common surgical procedure in the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures. Several surgical approaches may be used to access the hip joint in case of femoral neck fractures, each with its own benefits and potential drawbacks, but none of them has consistently been found to be superior to the others. This article aims to systematically review and compare the different approaches in terms of the complication rate at the last follow-up. Methods: an in-depth search on PubMed/Scopus/Web of Science databases and a cross-referencing search was carried out concerning the articles comparing different approaches in hemiarthroplasty and reporting detailed data. Results: A total of 97,576 hips were included: 1030 treated with a direct anterior approach, 4131 with an anterolateral approach, 59,110 with a direct lateral approach, and 33,007 with a posterolateral approach. Comparing the different approaches, significant differences were found in both the overall complication rate and the rate of revision surgery performed (p < 0.05). In particular, the posterolateral approach showed a significantly higher complication rate than the lateral approach (8.4% vs. 3.2%, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the dislocation rate in the posterolateral group was significantly higher than in the other three groups considered (p < 0.026). However, the posterolateral group showed less blood loss than the anterolateral group (p < 0.001), a lower intraoperative fractures rate than the direct anterior group (p < 0.035), and shorter mean operative time than the direct lateral group (p < 0.018). Conclusions: The posterolateral approach showed a higher complication rate than direct lateral approach and a higher prosthetic dislocation rate than the other three types of surgical approaches. On the other hand, patients treated with posterolateral approach showed better outcomes in other parameters considered, such as mean operative time, mean blood loss and intraoperative fractures rate. The knowledge of the limitations of each approach and the most common associated complications can lead to choosing a surgical technique based on the patient’s individual risk.

Modular megaprostheses (MPs) are commonly used after bone-tumor resection, but they can offer a limb salvage solution in massive bone defects. The aim of this systematic review of the Literature is to provide a comprehensive data collection concerning the use of MPs in non-oncologic cases, and to provide an overview of this topic, especially from an epidemiologic point of view. Three different databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched for relevant articles, and further references were obtained by cross-referencing. Sixty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria, reporting on cases of MP in non-oncologic cases. A total of 2598 MPs were retrieved. Among these, 1353 (52.1%) were distal femur MPs, 941 (36.2%) were proximal femur MPs, 29 (1.4%) were proximal tibia MPs and 259 (10.0%) were total femur MPs. Megaprostheses were most commonly used to treat periprosthetic fractures (1158 cases, 44.6%), in particular in the distal femur (859, 74.2%). Overall, complications were observed in 513 cases (19.7%). Type I (soft tissue failures) and type IV (infection) according to the Henderson classification were the most frequent (158 and 213, respectively). In conclusion, patients with severe post-traumatic deformities and/or significant bone loss who have had previous septic complications should be considered as oncologic patients, not because of the disease, but because of the limited therapeutic options available. The benefits of this treatment include relatively short operative times and immediate weight-bearing, thus making MP particularly attractive in the lower limb.

A 48-year-old patient affected with congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4 failed to respond to two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine, consisting of lipid nanoparticle encapsulated mRNA. As the disease is caused by biallelic variants of CAVIN1, a molecule indispensable for lipid endocytosis and regulation, we complemented the vaccination cycle with a single dose of the Ad26.COV2 vaccine. Adenovirus-based vaccine entry is mediated by the interaction with adenovirus receptors and transport occurs in clathrin-coated pits. Ten days after Ad26.COV2 administration, S- and RBD-specific antibodies and high-affinity memory B cells increased significantly to values close to those observed in Health Care Worker controls.

In this work we studied the evolution of the groove that forms the grain boundary (BG) when it emerges to a free surface, in the presence of different processes of matter transport. By using a confocal microscope, the shape of the grain edge groove was obtained in an ice sample with orientation〈10 ̄10〉/50◦at−5◦C ; after keeping it 3 h in an environment with dry air. The shapes and depths of the grain boundary groove obtained experimentally, at regular time periods, were satisfactorily fitted considering a process of transport of matter developed by Srinivasan and Trivedi. In this model the transport of matter is mainly ruled by gaseous diffusion and not by surface diffusion.

Introducción: En el mundo, 75 millones de personas requieren una silla de ruedas (SDR) pero entre el 5% y el 15% de ellas disponen de una. La OMS define SDR adecuada como aquella satisface las necesidades del usuario y su entorno, ofrece calce y apoyo postural apropiados, es segura y duradera. Objetivos: El objetivo primario es describir el calce, apoyo postural y seguridad de los usuarios de SDR que concurren al servicio de kinesiología del I.Re.P. El objetivo secundario es conocer la satisfacción respecto a su SDR y los servicios relacionados. Sujetos y método: Se incluyeron usuarios de SDR que concurran al servicio de kinesiología del I.Re.P. Las SDR fueron evaluadas siguiendo los lineamientos de la OMS, y la satisfacción utilizando el cuestionario QUEST 2.0. Resultados: De 30 sujetos incluidos, 21 fueron hombres con una edad media de 48,17 años.

The surface of a monocrystalline ice sample was observed at−5◦C (268 K). For which it was superficially polished and allowed to evolve in the presence of activated silica gel for three hours. The evolution of a depression was studied using three-dimensional micrographs obtained with an Olympus OLS4000 LEXT confocal microscope. A predominance of surface diffusion transport was found in the evolution of the depression. This is based both on the value obtained for the surface diffusion coefficient, as well as on the values found for the exponents corresponding to the evolution of the depth of the well and its width
