Effectiveness of a new thermal insulation blanket in the control of inadvertent...

Background Disturbances in the thermoregulatory system can precipitate inadvertent hypothermia in patients undergoing surgeries lasting over 60 min, causing serious complications in the recovery process. Cutaneous thermal protection is relevant for the control of temperature of patients in the perioperative setting. The standard thermal protection widely utilized is an electric forced warm air blanket. This stu...

Identification of waste potential from maritime activity - Incorporating polyet...

Currently, the Azores face a significant problem due to the existence of a large quantity of marine debris derived from fishing activities and gear. This issue represents a threat to the social and environmental aspects of the region. The lack of adequate disposal of this waste produced by the fishing industries is leading to a disruption of the ecosystem. A broad study within the scope of the Azores Ecoblue pr...

Development of a perioperative thermal insulation system: Testing comfort prope...

he poorly physical and psychological conditions of the patients make the body thermal protection crucial in the perioperative context, due to the risk of hypothermia. The lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of textile coverings in protecting patients in the operating room, underscores the recommendation of the forced warming system using non-woven fabric for ensuring the best thermal protection in the ...

Design of innovative clothing for pressure injury prevention: end-user evaluati...

The global relevance of pressure injury (PI) prevention technologies arise from their impact on the quality of life of people with limited mobility and the costs associated with treating these preventable injuries. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to evaluate the design of a prototype integrating Smart Health Textiles for PI prevention based on feedback from specialist nurses who care for individuals ...

A concise review on the potential applications of Rugulopteryx okamurae macroalgae

The brown macroalgae of the species Rugulopteryx okamurae has reached European waters and the Strait of Gibraltar as an invasive species. The proliferation and colonization of the species in subtidal and intertidal zones of these regions imposes significant threats to local ecosystems and additionally represents a significant socioeconomic burden related to the large amounts of biomass accumulated as waste. As ...
