  1. Article: A new modified technique of dynamic CT myelography to detect dural tears in spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

    Abstract We propose a modified dynamic CT-myelography technique for patients with fast CSF leaks caused by ventral dural tears in order to reduce radiation exposure and complications. A fluoroscopy-guided lumbar puncture using an epidural anesthesia kit replaces a CT-guided lumbar puncture, and a smaller volume of less concentrated contrast media is used. This approach has advantages, including speeding up the procedure, reduced radiation exposure, and elimination of the risk of contrast injection into the epidural space.

    Abstract Latin America is a civilization in transition, a kind of 'in-between', as Rafael López-Pedraza would coin the expression: it is associated not only with various levels of pre-existing consciousness, but also with the emotional life of its inhabitants. This Latin American baroque speaks not only of the cultural complexes which pertain to all of the peoples in this vast territory, but also of why certain emotions - cruelty, intolerance, anxiety, sadness, resentment, joy, rage, envy, suffering, fear, indignation, jealousy, sorrow and shame, to name a few - move these complexes and acquire certain shades in each region and in each inhabitant. Let us remember the relationship that Jung establishes between the emotions and the complexes. For him, although the emotions are the same in their content, they cluster in the complexes of each individual or collective in such a specific, automatic, spontaneous and involuntary way that they possess their own energy, and no one can ignore them. Taking into account these notions of emotion and complex, we analyze some emotions proposed by López-Pedraza (2008) in his book, Emotions: A List, to draw a picture of the collective emotions that predominate among Latin Americans.

    Abstract Aim of the study: Maternal mortality and ICU admissions have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. We reported a case-series of pregnant patients with COVID-19 admitted to an ICU and we compared them with a historical cohort of pregnant patients admitted to an ICU without COVID-19.
    Methods: We included all pregnant patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection admitted to our ICU in 2021. As a historical control group, we included all pregnant women who were admitted to our ICU between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2013.
    Results: In 2021, 11 pregnant patients (pts) with COVID-19 were admitted to an ICU, representing 2.87% of ICU admissions. We found that pregnant patients with COVID-19 (1) had a higher BMI (34.6 vs. 28.8,
    Conclusions: Pregnant patients with COVID-19 represent a challenge for ICU physicians due to their different characteristics and outcomes when compared to pregnant patients without COVID-19.

    Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are high-value biodegradable polyesters with thermoplastic properties used in the manufacturing of different products such as packaging films. PHAs have gained much attention from researchers and industry because of their biobased nature and appropriate features, similar to conventional synthetic plastics. This review aims to discuss some of the recent solutions to challenges associated with PHA production. The implementation of a cost-effective process is presented by following different strategies, such as the use of inexpensive carbon sources, the selection of high-producing microorganisms, and the functionalization of the final materials to make them suitable for food packaging applications, among others. Research efforts are needed to improve the economic viability of PHA production at a large scale.

    Abstract This study is based on an investigation of the transport phenomenon, specifically the quantification of arsenic diffusion in carrots within a temperature range of 89 °C-99 °C using a thin plate model. Studying the diffusion of arsenic in carrots is important due to its toxicity, as it can concentrate during cooking. The World Health Organization considers arsenic as one of the ten chemical substances of public health concern. In this study, biennial hybrid carrots of the Nantesa variety were cooked whole with their epidermis in an aqueous solution containing diarsenic trioxide with an As concentration of 5 mgL
