Retention on antiretroviral therapy and drivers of lost-to-follow up in the Central African Republic: a longitudinal analysis. [PDF]

J Int AIDS Soc
Abstract Introduction The retention in care of patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a cornerstone for preventing AIDS‐associated morbidity and mortality, as well as further transmission of HIV. Adherence to ART poses particular challenges in conflict‐affected settings like the Central African Republic (CAR).

Prediction of outcomes in subjects with type 2 diabetes and diabetic foot ulcers in Catalonian primary care centers: a multicenter observational study. [PDF]

J Foot Ankle Res, 2023
Abstract Background Diabetic foot and lower limb complications are an important cause of morbidity and mortality among persons with diabetes mellitus. Very few studies have been carried out in the primary care settings. The main objective was to assess the prognosis of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) in patients from primary care centers in Catalonia, Spain,

Transitions in smoking status in nursing students: A prospective longitudinal study

Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 79, Issue 9, Page 3456-3472, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim To describe transitions in smoking status and their determining factors among nursing students between baseline (2015–2016) and follow‐up (2018–2019). Design Observational prospective longitudinal study of 4381 nursing students in Catalonia (Spain).

Women's experiences along the ovarian cancer diagnostic pathway in Catalonia: A qualitative study

Health Expectations, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 476-487, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Early detection of symptoms and prompt diagnosis of ovarian cancer are considered important avenues for improving patient experiences and outcomes. Methods This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach to perform patient interviews, collecting individual accounts of the prediagnostic phase in women diagnosed and treated ...

Population screening for liver fibrosis: Toward early diagnosis and intervention for chronic liver diseases

Hepatology, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 219-228, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Cirrhosis, highly prevalent worldwide, develops after years of hepatic inflammation triggering progressive fibrosis. Currently, the main etiologies of cirrhosis are non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcohol‐related liver disease, although chronic hepatitis B and C infections are still major etiological factors in some areas of the world ...

A nonlocal discretization of fields [PDF]

Int.J.Mod.Phys. A16 (2001) 3583-3594, 2000
A nonlocal method to obtain discrete classical fields is presented. This technique relies on well-behaved matrix representations of the derivatives constructed on a non--equispaced lattice. The drawbacks of lattice theory like the fermion doubling or the breaking of chiral symmetry for the massless case, are absent in this method.

Generalized Uncertainty Principle and Quantum Electrodynamics [PDF]

Gen.Rel.Grav. 35 (2003) 1153-1160, 2003
In the present work the role that a generalized uncertainty principle could play in the quantization of the electromagnetic field is analyzed. It will be shown that we may speak of a Fock space, a result that implies that the concept of photon is properly defined.

Loop representation of charged particles interacting with Maxwell and Chern-Simons fields [PDF]

Phys.Rev.D65:065018,2002, 2001
The loop representation formulation of non-relativistic particles coupled with abelian gauge fields is studied. Both Maxwell and Chern-Simons interactions are separately considered. It is found that the loop-space formulations of these models share significant similarities, although in the Chern-Simons case there exists an unitary transformation that ...

Loop quantum gravity and light propagation [PDF]

Phys.Rev. D65 (2002) 103509, 2001
Within loop quantum gravity we construct a coarse-grained approximation for the Einstein-Maxwell theory that yields effective Maxwell equations in flat spacetime comprising Planck scale corrections. The corresponding Hamiltonian is defined as the expectation value of the electromagnetic term in the Einstein-Maxwell Hamiltonian constraint, regularized
