Research paper thumbnail of Lichtenstein inguinal hernioplasty: sutures versus glue

Hernia, 2005

Introduction: This was a prospective, randomised study undertaken from January 2001 to July 2003 ... more Introduction: This was a prospective, randomised study undertaken from January 2001 to July 2003 firstly to assess the possibility of using glues to fix meshes, secondly to verify whether or not this leads to a higher hernia recurrence rate, and thirdly to assess postoperative pain. Methods: This study covered a total of 55 patients with bilateral hernias who presented similar characteristics on both sides and on whom fixation of the mesh was undertaken differently, depending on the side. On the right side polypropylene sutures were used (prolene 2/0), while on the left, attachment was done using glue (Tissucol). Results and conclusions: Results were similar in both inguinal regions, although there was less post-operative pain and less inflammatory reaction on the left side. There was no hernia recurrence in the follow-up at the end of 1 year

Research paper thumbnail of Results of the GEP-ISFG collaborative study on an X-STR Decaplex

Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series, 2008

A collaborative work was carried out by the Spanish and Portuguese ISFG Working Group with a PCR ... more A collaborative work was carried out by the Spanish and Portuguese ISFG Working Group with a PCR multiplex for X chromosome STRs. Markers were selected among those described as polymorphic in humans and that have been used by some laboratories in forensics. Primers and various technical methods were investigated with the aim of optimizing a multiplex for the 10 selected X-STRs. Primer mix stock solutions were sent to the laboratories that were asked to analyse two female bloodstains, taking as reference the genetic profiles from 9947A, 9948 and NA3657 samples. In this work, we report the results obtained by 30 GEP-ISFG laboratories, using this Decaplex, as well as alternative technical conditions that also produced good results. #

Research paper thumbnail of Solvent extraction of yttrium from chloride media by di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid in kerosene. Speciation studies and gel formation

Analytica Chimica Acta, 1996

The distribution of yttrium(III) between acidic aqueous chloride solutions and organic solutions ... more The distribution of yttrium(III) between acidic aqueous chloride solutions and organic solutions of di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid, D2EHPA, in kerosene has been examined as a function of various chemical parameters at constant aqueous ionic strength 2.0 M and different ranges of metal concentration. For low and middle metal concentration, 1.5 × 10−4 − 2.587 × 10−2 M (13–2300mg l−1), the distribution of yttrium has been examined as a function of the extractant concentration and at fixed [H+] of 1.0M. The distribution data has been analyzed by both graphical and numerical methods. The results for the low metal concentration may be explained by the formation of two organic metal species, YA3.2HA and YA3.HA (HA refers to D2EHPA). Equilibrium constants have been determined and they are compared with corresponding constants in nitrate media and with results reported in the literature. Possible mixed extracted complexes containing chloride were rejected by the numerical calculations. Such prediction was confirmed by separate analysis of the chloride content in the organic phase. When the metal concentration is increased, the system shows a major complexity which is attributed to the formation of aggregates in the organic phase. For the highest metal concentration, a gel is observed to form under some of the experimental conditions. These results are discussed in terms of polymeric metal complexes.
