In 2003, S. J. Dilworth, N. J. Kalton, D. Kutzarova and V. N. Temlyakov introduced the notion of almost greedy (respectively partially greedy) bases. These bases were characterized in terms of quasi-greediness and democracy (respectively conservative...
Einkorn flour, rich in proteins, carotenoids, and other antioxidants, generally has poor breadmaking value. In this research, the composition and technological characteristics of the flours and breads of two elite einkorns (Monlis and ID331) and a br...
The Decode-Compress-Forward (DCF) is a generalization of Decode-Forward (DF) and Compress-Forward (CF). This paper investigates conditions under which DCF offers gains over DF and CF, addresses the problem of coded modulation for DCF, and evaluates t...
Background: The progressive aging of the population has led to an increased prevalence of chronic diseases and polypharmacy, with arterial hypertension representing one of the most frequent conditions. Consequently, the management of vital signs duri...
The mechanical performance of thermoplastic bulk samples obtained by plasticizing wheat flours differing in grain hardness, alveographic parameters, absence or presence of bran, and grinding level was assessed. Grains of four bread wheat (Triticum ae...
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are synthetically prepared short single-stranded deoxynucleotide sequences that have been validated as therapeutic agents and as a valuable tool in molecular driving biology. ASOs can block the expression of specific...
The introduction of the cultivation of millets (Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica) along Iberia’s Mediterranean zone appears to stem from different origins which themselves hinged on their own specific historical developments. The earliest...

Of the five nerves that innervate the foot, the one in which anesthetic blocking presents the greatest difficulty is the tibial nerve. The aim of this clinical trial was to establish a protocol for two tibial nerve block anesthetic techniques to late...
Aim: The primary objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment. The secondary aim was to evaluate the effect of dietary therapy on both parameters of oxidative stress in leukocytes and leukocyte-endoth...
Background: Clinical procedures involving the tibial nerve (TN) are complex procedures due to its deep anatomical position and the variability of its course in the retromalleolar region. Few studies have described the ultrasound characteristics of th...
Background: Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) may occur when two or more drugs are taken together, leading to undesired side effects or potential synergistic effects. Most clinical effects of drug combinations have not been assessed in clinical tri...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro diffusion of commercial bleaching products (hydrogen peroxide (HP) or carbamide peroxide (CP) based) with different application protocols. Human enamel-dentin discs were obtained and divided into...
The aim was to analyze the effect of compression tights on skin temperature in women with lipedema and to assess the effect of different knitting on skin temperature. Twenty-four women with lipedema (Grade I = 25%; Grade II = 75%) were divided into t...
Currently, there is no consensus on the characterization of the human voice. The objective of the present study is to describe the myoelectric behavior of the extrinsic musculature of the larynx in 146 people with normal voice (Spanish speakers), age...
Ash cover the forest fire affected soil for some weeks or months and act as a key factor to determine the soil and water losses. Ash depth is researched here to determine how affect the soil detachment and the runoff generation. Seventy rainfall simu...
A review on trial erosion shows that soil erosion rates are one to three orders of magnitude higher than the ones recommended as sustainable. This is threatening the sustainable managements of mountain terrains, mainly in the popular hiking paths. Th...
This paper addresses an alternative perspective on tourism success, emphasising sustainability over traditional quantitative metrics such as arrival numbers. It explores the impact of fiction films and TV series on individuals’ mental represent...
Background: Our aim was to determine the differences in short-term heart rate variability (HRV) between patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and healthy controls. Methods: We searched electronic databases for primary works with short-term HRV record...
Purpose: Considering that peripheral corneal thinning occurs in keratoconus (KC), the anterior scleral thickness (AST) profile was measured to compare thickness variations in healthy and KC eyes across several meridians. Methods: This cross-sectional...
Changes in the female genital tract microbiome are consistently correlated to gynecological and obstetrical pathologies, and tract dysbiosis can impact reproductive outcomes during fertility treatment. Nonetheless, a consensus regarding the physiolog...
Polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds have demonstrated an effectiveness in articular cartilage regeneration due to their biomechanical properties. On the other hand, alginate hydrogels generate a 3D environment with great chondrogenic potential. Our aim...
Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between choroidal thickness (CT) and anterior scleral thickness (AST) in patients with subclinical keratoconus (SKC) and established keratoconus (KC). Methods: This single-center prospective case-control study in...
Nowadays, cultural heritage is more than ever linked to the present. It links us to our cultural past through the conscious act of preserving and bequeathing to future generations, turning society into its custodian. The appreciation of cultural heri...
