Pes planas

An updated version of the CO + CO potential energy surface from [R. Dawes, X. G. Wang and T. Carrington, J. Phys. Chem. A 2013, 117 , 7612] is presented, that incorporates an improved treatment of the asymptotic behavior. It is found that this new surface is only slightly different from the other popular PES available for this system in the literature [G. W. M. Vissers, P. E. S. Wormer and A. Van Der Avoird, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2003, 5 , 4767]. The differences are quantified by expanding both surfaces over a set of analytic functions and comparing the behavior of expansion coefficients along the molecule-molecule distance R ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: We investigated growth patterns and pathological features in intermediate-size laryngeal carcinoma amenable to supraglottic laryngectomy. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: We reviewed patients who underwent an open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL) type I. We analyzed pathological data, tumor sizes, overall survival, disease-specific survival, local control, and laryngeal preservation. Results were stratified between three groups: group I comprised patients with endolaryngeal carcinoma, group II comprised patients with anterior epilaryngeal carcinoma who underwent an OPHL type I + base of tongue (BOT), group III comprised patients with lateral epilaryngeal carcinoma who underwent an OPHL type I + pyriform sinus (PIR)...

INTRODUCTION: A favourable work environment contributes to greater job satisfaction and improved working conditions for nurses, a fact that could influence the quality of patient outcomes. The aim of the study is two-fold: Identifying types of centres, according to the working environment assessment made by nurses in intermediate care units, and describing the individual characteristics of nurses related to this assessment. METHODS: An observational, descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional, and multicentre study was conducted in the last quarter of 2014...

We described a case of late-infantile form of galactosialidosis. This male patient was a product of normal pregnancy. His parents were first cousins. He first sat at eight months, walked and talked at two years of age. His gait gradually became unsteady and he was diagnosed as spastic paraparesis at the age of five years. Abnormally slow learning was first pointed out at seven years of age. At the age of nine years, we evaluated him in detail at our university hospital. Physical examination revealed a short stature for his age, slightly coarse face, short neck, funnel chest, genu, pes and hallucis valgus...
