Attempted enantioselective total synthesis of podophyllotoxin.
Creators: name: Vanderwal, Christopher D.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: An enantioselective approach via an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to the total synthesis of podophyllotoxin, an antimitotic lignan, is described. The two requisite synthons, an o-quinodimethane precursor, and a chiral tether/dienophile derived from tartrate, were efficiently synthesized, but all attempts at effecting the convergent etherification step failed, likely due to a lack of nucleophilicity of the tartrate-derived primary alcohol. Very reproducible synthetic sequences were developed for the synthesis of a number of different chiral potential tether/dienophile molecules based on tartrate, but connection of these molecules to the diene precursor was never successful. Also described is some investigative work into the synthesis and use in synthesis of phosphonates as (Z)-selective Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination reagents. An efficient synthesis of alkyl diphenyl phosphites and the success of subsequent Arbuzov reactions of these phosphites with halides has led to the synthesis of a number of new olefination reagents, for which evaluation of the (Z)-selectivity is ongoing.
Pharmacogenomic Testing: Clinical Evidence and Implementation Challenges

description: Pharmacogenomics can enhance patient care by enabling treatments tailored to genetic make-up and lowering risk of serious adverse events. As of June 2019, there are 132 pharmacogenomic dosing guidelines for 99 drugs and pharmacogenomic information is included in 309 medication labels. Recently, the technology for identifying individual-specific genetic variants (genotyping) has become more accessible. Next generation sequencing (NGS) is a cost-effective option for genotyping patients at many pharmacogenomic loci simultaneously, and guidelines for implementation of these data are available from organizations such as the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) and the Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG). NGS and related technologies are increasing knowledge in the research sphere, yet rates of genomic literacy remain low, resulting in a widening gap in knowledge translation to the patient. Multidisciplinary teams—including physicians, nurses, genetic counsellors, and pharmacists—will need to combine their expertise to deliver optimal pharmacogenomically-informed care.

description: An intelligent analytical technique which is able to accurately identify maceral components is highly desired in the fields of mining and geology. However, currently available methods based on fixed-size window neglect the shape information, and thus do not work in identifying maceral composition from one entire photomicrograph. To address these concerns, we propose a novel Maceral Identification strategy based on image Segmentation and Classification (MISC). Considering the complex and heterogeneous nature of coal, a two-level coarse-to-fine clustering method based on K-means is employed to divide microscopic images into a sequence of regions with similar attributes (i.e., binder, vitrinite, liptinite and inertinite). Furthermore, comprehensive features along with random forest are utilized to automatically classify binder and seven types of maceral components, including vitrinite, fusinite, semifusinite, cutinite, sporinite, inertodetrinite and micrinite. Evaluations on 39 microscopic images show that the proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art accuracy of 90.44% and serves as the baseline for future research on maceral analysis. In addition, to support the decisions of petrologists during maceral analysis, we developed a standalone software, which is freely available at https:/github.com/GuyooGu/MISC-Master.

description: All too often the realm of marketing theory seems to sit somewhere apart from that of marketing practice. The following paper presents the experiences of a team of academics who applied Services Marketing principles to the delivery of postgraduate online marketing education in an Australian university. This involved focussing on risk reduction and trust building, prior to and during the service encounter. Emphasis was placed on the need for security, justice and self-esteem (Bowen and Schneider 1999). Research in the form of student surveys and interviews with e-moderators and support staff was undertaken. The results indicated that this focus led to students feeling more comfortable in the online environment, which in turn, enhanced their learning experience. Research outcomes included adopting this 'service focus' for future semesters, replicating the research, which will enable longitudinal analysis, and a proposal to develop a 'virtual service centre' for online students.

Étude du fardeau des aidants primaires de personnes admises à un hôpital de jour psychiatrique.
Creators: name: Fleury, Marcelle.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Mental Health.

description: Les études sur le fardeau des aidants de personnes atteintes de troubles mentaux ont à ce jour été réalisées principalement dans des contextes d'hospitalisation ou de services externes. On connaît très peu la situation des aidants dans le contexte de l'hôpital de jour, une modalité de services ambulatoires utilisée davantage aujourd'hui comme alternative à l'hospitalisation. Cette étude avait pour but de décrire le fardeau des aidants primaires (N 25) de personnes admises à un hôpital de jour psychiatrique, dans une perspective d'examen de l'évolution du fardeau entre le moment de l'admission (T 1 ) et cinq semaines après le congé (T 2 ). Les hypothèses étaient: (1) que le fardeau des aidants serait plus important à l'admission qu'à la période post-traitement, (2) qu'à l'admission, les variables liées à l'état actuel du malade auraient une contribution plus importante sur le fardeau que les variables liées aux caractéristiques sociodémographiques, du malade, à l'histoire et à l'évolution de la maladie, (3) qu'à l'admission, les comportements symptomatiques auraient un contribution plus importante sur le fardeau que les dysfonctions sociales et les effets indésirables sur l'entourage et (4) qu'au T 2 , les variables liées aux effets indésirables sur l'entourage auraient une contribution plus importante sur le fardeau que les variables liées aux symptômes et aux dysfonctions sociales du malade.

description: Human biomonitoring involves the use of human samples and data to investigate exposure to environmental chemicals and their impact on human health. HBM4EU developed a coordinated and harmonized approach involving 29 countries in Europe plus Israel. Addressing ethical issues has been an indispensable prerequisite, from the application phase, grant agreement, project performance to the closing of the project. HBM4EU has established a better understanding of the ethics in such projects and the need for a standardised way of reporting and handling of ethics and data exchange, securing compliance with ethics standards, transparency, transferability and sustainability. The main reflections were: Knowledge: Ethics awareness, norms and practices are dynamic and increased throughout the project, much learning and experience is achieved by practice and dialogue. Attitude: Rules and standards were very diversely known and needed to adhere to local practices. Assistance: Good results achieved from webinars, training, help desk, and individual consultations. Standardisation: Was achieved by templates and naming convention across documents. Management: The establishment of the SharePoint directory with uploading of all requested documents assisted collaboration and exchange. Also, a designated task for ethics within the management/coordination work package and the enthusiasm of the task leader were essential. Compliance: Some, but not all partners were very good at complying with deadlines and standards. Transferability and sustainability: All documents are archived in the SharePoint directory while a system assuring updating is recommended. Transparency: Assured by public access to annual ethics reports. The ethics reports bridged to the annual work plans (AWPs). Evaluation: The Ethics Check by the Commission was successful. © 2022 The Authors

description: Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition, which is characterized by clinical heterogeneity and high heritability. Core symptoms of ASD include deficits in social communication and interaction, as well as restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Many genes have been identified that are associated with an increased risk for ASD. Proteins encoded by these ASD risk genes are often involved in processes related to fetal brain development, chromatin modification and regulation of gene expression in general, as well as the structural and functional integrity of synapses. Genes of the SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains (SHANK) family encode crucial scaffolding proteins (SHANK1-3) of excitatory synapses and other macromolecular complexes. SHANK gene mutations are highly associated with ASD and more specifically the Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMDS), which is caused by heterozygous 22q13.3-deletion resulting in SHANK3-haploinsufficiency, or by SHANK3 missense variants. SHANK3 deficiency and potential treatment options have been extensively studied in animal models, especially in mice, but also in rats and non-human primates. However, few of the proposed therapeutic strategies have translated into clinical practice yet. Main text This review summarizes the literature concerning SHANK3-deficient animal models. In particular, the structural, behavioral, and neurological abnormalities are described and compared, providing a broad and comprehensive overview. Additionally, the underlying pathophysiologies and possible treatments that have been investigated in these models are discussed and evaluated with respect to their effect on ASD- or PMDS-associated phenotypes. Conclusions Animal models of SHANK3 deficiency generated by various genetic strategies, which determine the composition of the residual SHANK3-isoforms and affected cell types, show phenotypes resembling ASD and PMDS. The phenotypic heterogeneity across multiple models and studies resembles the variation of clinical severity in human ASD and PMDS patients. Multiple therapeutic strategies have been proposed and tested in animal models, which might lead to translational implications for human patients with ASD and/or PMDS. Future studies should explore the effects of new therapeutic approaches that target genetic haploinsufficiency, like CRISPR-mediated activation of promotors.
L'érotisme au féminin : le corps jouissif de la femme.
Creators: name: De Bellefeuille, Josée.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Literature, Modern.

description: L'imaginaire érotique féminin a longtemps été nié par la société androcentrique. Pendant de nombreux siècles, l'homme s'est posé comme l'universel, c'est-à-dire l'unique point de référence en matière de connaissances, de langage et de symbolique, s'appropriant ainsi tout discours en matière de sexualité. Les femmes n'ont donc eu d'autre choix que d'endosser un univers érotique masculin, où elles se voient attribuer le rôle de l'Autre, consistant à combler les attentes et à répondre aux besoins de l'homme. C'est par la prise de conscience de la différence entre les hommes et les femmes, notamment au niveau du corps sexué, que ces dernières revendiquent une valorisation de la jouissance proprement féminine. Dès lors, la prise de parole et son corollaire, l'écriture, deviennent une stratégie efficace afin de mener les femmes jusqu'à l'expression assumée de cette différence. Par l'écriture, les femmes se libèrent des stéréotypes limitatifs dans lesquels les hommes les ont emprisonnées. Il leur est maintenant possible de se dire en tant qu'êtres d'esprit et de chair. Cette prise de parole leur ouvre les portes d'un domaine, qui jusqu'à tout récemment était réservé aux hommes. En se posant comme Sujets, les femmes se donnent la liberté de conceptualiser l'univers dans lequel elles vivent, de le remettre en question et finalement d'en inventer un qui soit plus près de leur vision du monde en faisant preuve d'originalité et de création. C'est dans cet esprit qu'a été élaborée cette thèse, c'est-à-dire un acte de création, une production érotique qui se veut la manifestation du désir et du plaisir au féminin.

description: Einstein@Home aggregates the computer power of hundreds of thousands of volunteers from 192 countries to 'mine' large data sets. It has now found a 40.8-hertz isolated pulsar in radio survey data from the Arecibo Observatory taken in February 2007. Additional timing observations indicate that this pulsar is likely a disrupted recycled pulsar. PSR J2007+2722's pulse profile is remarkably wide with emission over almost the entire spin period; the pulsar likely has closely aligned magnetic and spin axes. The massive computing power provided by volunteers should enable many more such discoveries.

Subjects: subject: Geography.

description: The purpose of this study is to discuss the different types of atmospheric pollution management programs, specifically related to the problem of ozone emissions management by the federal government. Ozone pollution is of considerable concern, especially its impact on the health of the population. Transportation represents an important source of ozone pollutants and the fight against it is becoming more and more inevitable with the increasing volume of traffic and number of vehicles. In Canada, pollution management has been undertaken since the early 70's. Despite the fact that environmental concerns are of provincial jurisdiction, this study will show the increasingly crucial role of the federal government as a guide and leader in air pollution management. This research is undertaken to point out which are the preferred approaches of the Canadian government to solve this problem and to discuss on the dichotomy between possible and real actions.

description: (1) Background: Adverse events (AEs) are an inherent part of all medical care. Obstetrics is special: it is characterized by a very high expectation regarding safety and has rare cases of harm, but extremely high individual consequences of harm. However, there is no standardized identification, documentation, or uniform terminology for the preventability of AEs in obstetrics. In this study, therefore, an obstetrics-specific matrix on the preventable factors of AEs is established based on existing literature to enable standardized reactive risk management in obstetrics. (2) Methods: AEs in obstetrics from one hospital from the year 2018 were retrospectively evaluated according to a criteria matrix regarding preventability. Risk factors for preventable AEs (pAEs) were identified. (3) Results: Out of 2865 births, adverse events were identified in 659 cases (23%). After detailed case analysis, 88 cases (13%) showed at least 1 pAE. A total of 19 risk factors could be identified in 6 categories of pAEs. (4) Conclusion: Preventable categories of error could be identified. Relevant obstetric risk factors related to the error categories were identified and categorized. If these can be modified in the future with targeted measures of proactive risk management, pAEs in obstetrics could also be reduced.
Interactive three-dimensional carving using a combined voxel and mesh representation

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis proposes an approach to provide a visually realistic interactive simulation of the effect of removing rigid bounded volumetric portions of a 3D object. The approach processes the volume removal at sufficient rates for realistic real-time rendering, while minimizing the error caused during volume removal operations. We refer to these volume removal operations as 3D carving. 3D carving is particularly applicable to the computer simulation of bone-surgery medical procedures performed with a motorized burr tool; however the methods and algorithm presented are generic enough to be used for other purposes such as 3D modeling, destructible objects in 3D games and others. Our approach represents the volume of the object being carved using voxels while displaying the object to the user using an associated polygonal mesh. We use the Ball-Pivoting Algorithm---which has been traditionally used to generate a triangle mesh from a point cloud---to generate the mesh associated with the voxels, but we present a novel extension to the algorithm, the Dynamic Ball-Pivoting Algorithm, so that local changes to the voxel set only require local changes to the mesh, whereas the standard algorithm would require a global remeshing. We demonstrate how to apply 3D and 2D textures simultaneously to provide separate external and internal textures for objects that have different skin and internal appearances, which increases the realism of the visualization. We provide measurements of the performance and accuracy of our approach.

description: The spread of veterinary medicinal products (VMP) and biocides onto agriculturally used areas represents a very important path of entry into the environment for these product groups. For this reason, current guidance (e.g. „Guideline on determining the fate of veterinary medicinal products in manure“ (EMA/CVMP/ERA/430327/2009) (EMA, 2011) stipulates experimental studies on transformation of VMPs and biocides in manure. However, the documents only contain basic regulatory requirements, whereas an experimental test guideline is still missing, both on EU and ⁠OECD⁠ level. To allow for a consistent assessment of studies within the registration process, a harmonized internationally accepted and validated test method is needed.A draft test guideline was developed within a previous R&D-Project “Development of test guidance for transformation of veterinary pharmaceuticals and biocides in liquid manure” (FKZ 3710 67 422) (Hennecke et al., 2015). The experimental method was examined and revised by an intra-laboratory comparison as well as an international inter-laboratory comparison (pre-validation ring test).In the present project, an international ring test has been performed and evaluated testing a veterinary medicinal product (florfenicol) in pig manure and a biocide (imidacloprid) in cattle manure. Moreover, two international workshops were organized; one at the beginning in connection with proceeding project (FKZ 3710 67 422) and one at the end of the project to discuss and evaluate the ring test. Based on the experimental results of the ring test as well as discussions and conclusions of both workshops, a revised draft test guideline was prepared.

description: Background: Active transportation (AT), independent mobility (IM), and outdoor time are promising ways to increase children’s physical activity. However, in order to create interventions to increase those forms of physical activity, it is important to understand the relationships between area-level socioeconomic status (SES) and type of urbanization with AT, IM, outdoor time, and physical activity, and this was the aim of the study. Methods: One thousand six hundred ninety-nine children in grades 4 to 6 (mean age: 10.2 ± 1.0 years) from three Canadian regions participated. AT, IM, and outdoor time were assessed using questionnaires and physical activity was measured using the SC-StepRX pedometer. Area-level SES was assessed using the median household income of the census tract in which the school was located and type of urbanization was determined for each school using standardized procedures. Generalized linear and general linear mixed models were used to examine the relationships. Results: Area-level SES and the type of urbanization were generally not related to AT, IM, or physical activity for either gender. However, we observed that both boys and girls living in lower SES areas had decreased odds of spending > 2 h outdoors on weekend days compared to their peers from higher SES areas. Girls living in suburban or rural areas were more likely to spend > 2 h outdoors on weekdays compared to their urban counterparts. Conclusions: AT, IM, and physical activity are generally not associated with area-level SES or the type of urbanization in this sample of Canadian children. The finding regarding outdoor time showing that both boys and girls of lower SES areas had decreased odds of spending > 2 h outdoors on weekends compared to their peers from higher SES areas suggest that additional efforts should be implemented to offer outdoor play opportunities in lower SES areas.

description: ***** Diese Diplomarbeit wurde im Jahr 2006 an der Hochschule Ulm im Studiengang Mechatronik verfasst und an der University of Cambridge im Department of Materials Science / Device Group ausgeführt. ***** Multiferroic materials, which are both ferromagnetic, ferroelectric and/or ferroelastic, have increasingly been studied over the past six years due to several promising advantages for applications. The application potential comes from the magnetoelectric (ME) effect, which means the magnetization can be controlled by an applied electric field or vice versa. This can be applied in e.g. data storage, field sensors and actuators. However, no single phase material has been discovered yet that is both ferromagnetic and ferroelectric at room temperature. Here I report on huge coupling effects in a multiferroic epitaxial heterostructure consisting ferromagnetic La0.66Sr0.33MnO3 film and ferroelectric (piezoelectric and ferroelastic) BaTiO3 substrate. Magnetic coupling due to induced strain at the phase transitions of the substrate were successfully investigated, showing large changes in magnetization as function of temperature. Upon that, novel ME measurements were performed inside a vibrating sample magnetometer. By applying a small electric field (4-10 kV/cm) across the entire structure, we achieved sharp and persistent changes in film magnetization of up to 65 % near the BaTiO3 structural phase transition at 200 K. This represents a giant magnetoelectric coupling (2.3 10^-7 s/m) that arises from strain fields due to electrically driven switching of ferroelastic non-180 degree domains in the BTO, whose presence we confirmed using x-ray diffraction. The hereby produced in-plane piezoelectric strain modifies the overlying ferromagnetic LSMO by switching its strain, resulting in a switching of the magnetic anisotropy of the film. The coupling persists over a wide range of temperatures including room temperature. These results deliver a vital contribution towards applications and understanding strain coupled ME effects.
Role of connexin 30 in directing adult neural progenitor cell fate

description: This thesis tested the hypothesis that the gap junction protein connexin 30 (Cx30) plays a role in regulating adult neural progenitor cell (NPC) fate. Cx30, previously shown to be expressed by postnatal astrocytes, was localized, for the first time, to adult NPCs specifically to a subset of multipotential nestin+/glial fibrillary acidic protein + (GFAP)+ NPCs in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of adult mice. When bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labelling was performed in Cx30 (-/-) mice, the transition of early NPCs to a neuronal lineage was reduced. Increased BrdU cell number in the rostral migratory stream and the olfactory bulb was observed in Cx30(-/-) mice which suggested enhanced survival or migration of these immature progeny Enhanced neuronal specification, induced by co-culture with NPCs and astrocytes, was blocked by pharmacological inhibition of gap junction intercellular communication. Together, these results suggest a role for Cx30 in regulating adult NPC fate by promoting neurogenesis through direct cell-cell communication.

description: The goal of this study was to examine the production of polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and the decrease in phenolic content of canola meal during submerged and solid state fermentation with canola meal. Several parameters during submerged fermentation were examined, including addition of CM phenolics, CM sugars, Vogel's minerals and aeration. The effect of CM, soybean meal (SBM) and sunflower meal (SFM) concentration on PPO production in a submerged process was also examined. Several parametrs were examined for the production of PPO and decrease in phenolic content during solid state fermentation (SSF) of Trametes vesrsicolor on CM. Preliminary flooding experiments, in which water was added to a portion of the fermenting culture to assist in the diffusion of phenolics and PPO, was shown to be useful. The maximum enzyme activity occurred for both types of fermentation at approximately 8 days. The submerged enzyme preparation had a much larger activity per gram of canola meal compared to the solid state fermentation, 2500 nkat/g vs 400 nkat/g, however when expressed in terms of volumetric reactor productivity, the activities were approximately equal.

description: This study investigates the possibilities of fostering learning based on differences in recall and comprehension after learning with texts which were presented in one of three modalities: either in a spoken, written, or sung version. All three texts differ regarding their processing, especially when considering working memory. Overall, we assume the best recall performance after learning with the written text and the best comprehension performance after learning with the sung text, respectively, compared to both other text modalities. We also analyzed whether the melody of the sung material functions as a mnemonic aid for the learners in the sung text condition. If melody and text of the sung version are closely linked, presentation of the melody during the post-test phase could foster text retrieval. 108 students either learned from a sung text performed by a professional singer, a printed text, or the same text read out loud. Half of the participants worked on the post-test while listening to the melody used for the musical learning material and the other half did not listen to a melody. The written learning modality led to significantly better recall than with the spoken (d = 0.97) or sung text (d = 0.78). However, comprehension after learning with the sung modality was significantly superior compared to when learning with the written learning modality (d = 0.40). Reading leads to more focus on details, which is required to answer recall questions, while listening fosters a general understanding of the text, leading to higher levels of comprehension. Listening to the melody during the post-test phase negatively affected comprehension, irrespective of the modality during the learning phase. This can be explained by the seductive detail effect, as listening to the melody during the post-test phase may distract learners from their main task. In closing, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Assembly, stability and secretion of acetylcholinesterase in skeletal muscle fibres.

description: The AChE gene encodes three mRNAs; R, H and T differing in their choice of C-terminal exons. Of these, AChET is exclusively accumulated in the synaptic compartment of adult skeletal muscle fibres. The mechanisms underlying the tissue-specific expression of the T forms as well the targeting of AChE to the neuromuscular junction have yet to be elucidated. To this end, we examined factors influencing the expression of AChE by transfection of C2C12 muscle cells and direct gene transfer in rodent hindlimb muscles. Transfection of C2C12 muscle cells with cDNAs encoding H and T resulted in high levels of enzyme activity. The H non-muscle subunit was preferentially expressed, several-fold more than the T subunit. Furthermore, transfection of myoblasts with a cDNA containing all the sequences necessary for expression of all AChE splice variants resulted only in expression of T subunits. This indicated that selective expression in muscle fibres is due to exclusive splicing of T mRNA from the primary transcript. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Taking policy action to improve small-scale water supply and sanitation systems
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: World Health Organization. Regional Office for Europe
Year: 2016

description: Access to adequate water and sanitation services is essential for good individual and population health. People served by small-scale systems in rural areas and small towns have the right to the same level of health protection as others. Goals 3 and 6 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development call for combating waterborne diseases and ensuring universal and equitable access to both safe drinking-water and adequate sanitation for all by 2030. Achieving universal access requires paying due attention to the particular circumstances and challenges that may impair the provision of safe and sustainable services by small-scale water supply and sanitation systems.
Improving such systems is a priority area under the Protocol on Water and Health to the 1992 Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes. This publication was developed under the Protocol; it aims to support effective policy action and promote good practices for creating an enabling environment in which to improve the situation of small-scale systems. It introduces a variety of tools available to policy-makers and highlights how these can be tailored to the particular circumstances of small-scale systems. It also presents a number of case studies showing how countries have acted to improve the situation of small systems.
This publication aims to inspire practitioners and policy-makers who develop water supply and sanitation policies and programmes at the national or subnational levels to consider improvement actions that they can adapt for their own circumstances. It further assists policy-makers in formulating specific targets for small-scale systems and in planning concrete actions for their achievement. Other stakeholders - such as aid and funding agencies, local governments and nongovernmental organizations - may also find the information relevant for their programmes and projects.

description: INTRODUCCIÓN:En la actualidad la prevención del suicidio es una de las áreas de salud mental que más interés despiertan, considerándose uno de los retos más importantes que abordar en nuestra especialidad, creándose hace unos años a nivel nacional los protocolos de atención al suicidio.

 MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS:

Se realiza un estudio observacional, recopilando y analizando los datos recogidos durante el mes de julio de 2024 en Urgencias del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Salamanca, viendo del total de urgencias realizadas cuales estaban en relación con ideas de muerte o intentos autoliticos, así mismo de esos pacientes cuales fueron las diferentes intervenciones que se realizaron al alta del paciente.

RESULTADOS:De un total de 201 paciente atendidos en el Servicio de Urgencias por Psiquiatría de guardia, 64 pacientes (31,8%) presentaban ideas de muerte o intentos autoliticos. De los cuales fueron ingresados en UHB 17 pacientes (26,5%) y 47 pacientes fueron dados de alta (73,5 %). De las altas, se realizaron 14 protocolos de suicidio (29,7%), 9 pacientes recibieron cita de forma preferente en su ESM (19,1), 4 pacientes fueron citados con su medico de atención primaria (8,5%), 19 pacientes fueron derivados a su ESM para un seguimiento ordinario (40,4%) y un paciente se fugó del Servicio de Urgencias antes de poder ser valorado (4,7%). De los protocolos realizados, 9 pacientes fueron derivados por ideación autolitica (64,2%) y 5 pacientes por una autointoxicación medicamentosa (35,2%).

CONCLUSIONES:Ante una realidad que ha ido en aumento en los últimos años, como es el suicidio a nivel mundial y en nuestro país, la evidencia nos indica la importancia de instaurar recursos que nos ayuden en la prevención, así como pararnos a analizar dichos recursos, en busca de mejoras más ambiciosas en la atención al paciente con riesgo suicida.

description: The author offers opinions on thermal spray technology. The business cliche 'At the end of the day' is used as a metaphor. He states that this phrase is meant to indicate that there is a concluding point to a statement, but with thermal spray technology, and with all surface cooling technology, no such point can or should be envisioned.
