La familia y la limitación del esfuerzo terapéutico en los cuidados intensivos pediátricos. Aspectos éticos by Ariel Efrén Uriarte Méndez, Jesús Vila Díaz, Yagén Pomares Pérez, Andrés Prieto Apesteguía, Jorge Luis Capote Padrón

“…Casi toda la literatura médica que trata este tema, se refiere al derecho del paciente y de la familia de limitar un esfuerzo terapéutico fútil y de lo acertado de esto para evitar el sufrimiento innecesario del enfermo; sin embargo, existe poca información acerca de cómo actuar ante situaciones en que los familiares de un niño en estadio terminal, insisten en continuar con tratamientos que no tendrán resultados y que solo provocarán dolor e incremento del sufrimiento, sin contar el gasto innecesario de recursos, lo cual pone al médico en una situación difícil. …”

Atomically resolved imaging of radiation-sensitive metal-organic frameworks via electron ptychography by Guanxing Li, Ming Xu, Wen-Qi Tang, Ying Liu, Cailing Chen, Daliang Zhang, Lingmei Liu, Shoucong Ning, Hui Zhang, Zhi-Yuan Gu, Zhiping Lai, David A. Muller, Yu Han

“…The reconstructed images clearly resolve organic linkers, metal clusters, and even atomic columns within these clusters, while unravelling various local structural features in MOFs, including missing linkers, extra clusters, and surface termination modes. By combining the findings from simulations and experiments, we have identified that employing a small convergence semi-angle during data acquisition is crucial for effective iterative ptychographic reconstruction under such low-dose conditions. …”

Study on the effect and mechanism of ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis on antioxidant peptide activity in walnuts by Jiaying Huo, Zhaowei Cui, Ruru Zhang, Hui Ouyang, Xiaolong Liu, Ping Wang, Xiongwei Yu, Tingting Xie, Sihai Gao, Shugang Li

“…By analyzing the structure of walnut antioxidant peptides with or without ultrasound, it was observed that the underlying mechanism for the increased antioxidant activity was that UAE not only formed more small peptides, but also produced more peptides with hydrophobic amino acids at their terminal ends. Subsequently, six peptides were identified and screened from UNWPI, namely IFW, IIPF, IVAF, IIFY, ILAFF, and IFIP, which exhibited high antioxidant activity and could bind to Keap1 protein through hydrogen bonding, π-alkyl interactions, and π-π stacking interactions. …”
