(Universidad de Antioquia, 2019)
In this editorial, the author reflects on the state of research on academic literacies in Latin American higher education. To this end, the author presents a description of the context of higher education in Latin America ...
Understanding the asymmetrical thermoelectric performance for discovering promising thermoelectric materials
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Thermoelectric modules, consisting of multiple pairs of n- and p-type legs, enable converting heat into electricity and vice versa. However, the thermoelectric performance is often asymmetrical, in that one type outperforms ...
Transforming lignin into porous graphene via direct laser writing for solid-state supercapacitors
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)
Cost-effective valorization of lignin into carbon-based electrode materials remains a challenge. Here we reported a facile and ultrafast laser writing technique to convert lignin into porous graphene as active electrode ...
Outcome and complications in goats treated by perineal urethrostomy for obstructive urolithiasis: 25 cases (2010-2017)
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)
Background: Obstructive urolithiasis commonly affects male goats. Perineal urethrostomy (PU) can be a permanent treatment option but is generally considered undesirable because of the risk of stricture of the urethral ...
Do probiotics reduce C diff risk in hospitalized patients?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Do probiotics reduce C diff risk in hospitalized patients? A systematic review and meta-analysis says, "Yes," but that doesn't necessarily mean they will start appearing on hospital formularies. Practice changer: Start ...
Does withholding an ACE inhibitor or ARB before surgery improve outcomes?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Q: Does withholding an ACE inhibitor or ARB before surgery improve outcomes? EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWER: A GUARDED YES, because the evidence of benefit is from observational studies and applies to noncardiac surgery. Withholding ...
Time to conception after miscarriage : how long to wait?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Q: Time to conception after miscarriage: how long to wait? Evidence-based answer: an interpregnancy interval (IPI) of < 6 months following miscarriage is associated with an increased live birth rate in subsequent pregnancy, ...
How do these 3 diabetes agents compare in reducing mortality?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
How do these 3 diabetes agents compare in reducing mortality? A meta-analysis reveals that there may be advantages associated with SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists that are not associated with DPP-4 inhibitors. PRACTICE ...
Can sleep apnea be accurately diagnosed at home?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Can sleep apnea be accurately diagnosed at home? A recent study says Yes, and that it offers advantages: it can be scheduled faster, is less expensive, and is more acceptable to many patients than lab testing. PRACTICE ...
