Experimental measurements of Xe and Kr releases from UO2 and determination of their migration mechanisms - Release rate data.

We present the raw data obtained from release rate at 1300°C of Xe and Kr implanted in UO2, related to [1]. We performed different sample preparation (polishing treatment) on polycrystalline and monocrystalline UO2. Ion implantation were performed at various fluences between 9.5 × 1010 to 5 × 1014 i/cm2 in UO2 samples. Release rate of Xe and Kr are obtained at 1300°C under vacuum from desorption experiments performed on the PIAGARA plateform at the CENBG (Centre d'Etudes Nucléaires de Bordeaux-Gradignan). Since we made a variety of samples depending on multiple parameters (sample type, sample preparation, ion implantation type and fluence), these data represent a serious amount of work that could be saved for the scientific community that might use them for other purposes such as burst modelling.

Assessment of pre and postoperative anxiety in patients undergoing ambulatory oral surgery in primary care.

BACKGROUND: To analyze the pre- and postoperative anxiety level in patients undergoing ambulatory oral surgery (AOS) in a primary healthcare center (PHC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective and descriptive clinical study on 45 patients who underwent AOS procedures in the dental clinic of a public PHC of Spain between April and September 2015. Anxiety analysis was carried out with pre- and postoperative anxiety-state (STAI-S), anxiety-trait (STAI-T) and dental anxiety (MDAS) questionnaires. A descriptive, inferential and binary logistic regression analysis were performed for the variables age, sex, educational level, previous experience of oral treatment, type of oral surgery, degree of third molar impaction, surgical time, intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, and pain score with a visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS: The majority were female (57.8%) with a mean age of 33.5±9.6 years. The most frequent procedure was the lower third molar removal (82.2%). The mean pain score on the VAS was 1.6±1.8. The incidence of complications was low (7.8%). There was a statistically significant association between post- and preoperative anxiety (r=0.56, p<0.001) and a correlation between pain score and postoperative anxiety (Rho= -0.35, p=0.02). The likelihood of postoperative anxiety was related to preoperative anxiety (OR=1.3, p=0.03). CONCLUSIONS: AOS in a PHC is safe and should be more encouraged in the public primary care. The emotional impact on users was relatively low, highlighting that the preoperative anxiety levels were higher than the postoperative ones. Psychological factors related to pre- and postoperative anxiety should be considered in the AOS carried out in PC.

Reconstrucción anatómica laparoscópica en útero unicorne no comunicante / Laparoscopic approach for unicornuate uterus

Las alteraciones congénitas de los conductos de Müller son un amplio grupo de patología, siendo el útero unicorne una de sus manifestaciones.Se relaciona con un aumento de complicaciones obstétricas y a su vez la presencia de un cuerno rudimentario no comunicante, es causa de dolor pélvico crónico. Presentamos una paciente de 14 años aquejada de intensa dismenorrea. Mediante técnicas de imagen se evidencia la presencia de útero unicorne con cuerno rudimentario derecho no comunicante. Se realizó abordaje laparoscópico en la que se procedió a exéresis del cuerno rudimentario y posterior reconstrucción anatómica. La paciente cursó un postoperatorio sin complicaciones, obteniendo una mejoría clínica satisfactoria en sus controles posteriores. El abordaje laparoscópico a las pacientes afectas de útero unicorne no comunicante permite restablecer de forma óptima la anatomía y mejorar la sintomatología asociada. Mediante una correcta técnica laparoscópica se consigue disminuir el riesgo de adherencias posteriores, asegurando una baja tasa de complicaciones y una recuperación funcional postoperatoria precoz.

Congenital anomalies of the Müllerian ducts are a large group of pathology, and unicornuate uterus is one of its manifestations. It is associated with increased obstetric complications and the presence of cavitated non communicating rudimentary uterine which cause chronic pelvic pain. We report a 14 years old patient suffering severe dysmenorrhea. Using imaging techniques showed the presence of unicornuate uterus with non communicating rudimentary right horn. Laparoscopy was performed in which we proceeded to resection of rudimentary horn and subsequent reconstruction of the anatomy. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course, obtaining a satisfactory clinical improvement in subsequent tests. The laparoscopic approach in patients with advanced non-communicating unicornuate uterus can optimally restore the anatomy and improving associated symptoms. A proper laparoscopic approach can lower the risk of subsequent adhesions, and ensure few complications and early postoperative functional recovery.
