Electrical driven pyrolysis reactor retrofit for indirect concentrated solar heat

ABSTRACT: Aiming for a climate-neutral economy, and the associated transition towards fuels produced from alternative feedstock, and to overcome some biomass pyrolysis unsuitable properties for the conventional combustion devices, plastics pyrolysis also produces oils, whose main compounds are also hydrocarbons, that can be used in conventional engines without so complex and costly upgrading processes. Most of ...

Technological Advances Transforming the Clinical Practice of Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia causing stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. An early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to reduce AF recurrence, progression of the disease and to improve prognosis. Thus, an opportunistic screening is recommended in people older than 65 years. With the advent of digital medicine, there are a vast variety of wearables to enable an ECG-based o...

Effectiveness of Acupuncture on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients Rece...

Patients with kidney failure (KF) receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) experience numerous symptoms that impair their health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and contribute to high mortality rates. Acupuncture is often used for symptom enhancement and HRQOL. This blinded, randomized, controlled patient-assessor trial evaluated the effectiveness of acupuncture compared with sham acupuncture on patients' HRQOL ...

Integrating Acupuncture into a Dialysis Center

A growing interest in integrating traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and conventional medicine (CM) to create a more comprehensive approach to healthcare has been verified. Scientific evidence supports acupuncture as an integrative treatment for specific health conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the acceptance and feasibility by patients and healthcare professionals of integrating acupuncture in a ...
