Great Britain's power system with a high penetration of renewable energy: Dataset supporting future scenarios.

The share of variable renewable energy (VRE) is forecasted to increase in the energy sector to meet decarbonization targets and/or reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. The modeling of future power system scenarios is crucial to assess the role of different flexibility options, including low-carbon technologies. The data presented here support the research article "The role of energy storage in Great Britain's future power system: focus on hydrogen and biomass". These data include updated parameters, inputs, equations, biomass resource potential and biomass demand to balance bio-power and bio-hydrogen requirements. The Future Renewable Energy Performance into the Power System Model (FEPPS), a rule-based model that includes flexibility and stability constraints, has been used, and the hourly results of future scenarios by 2030 and 2040 are provided. Researchers, policymakers, and investors could use this paper as these data provide insights into the role of different technologies (including hydrogen and biomass) in power generation, system flexibility, decarbonization and costs.

Eficacia de la fisioterapia para mejorar la calidad de vida y el dolor en el tratamiento del linfedema postmastectomía. Una revisión sistemática / Efficacy of physiotherapy to improve quality of life and pain in the treatment of postmastectomy lymphedema. A systematic review

Objetivo Comparar la evidencia de los diferentes tratamientos para el linfedema y los posibles dolores miofasciales postmastectomía, para conseguir la máxima calidad de vida de los pacientes. Estrategia de búsqueda y selección de estudios Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos PubMed, Phisiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) y Web of Science (WOS) durante marzo y abril del año 2022. Se tuvo en cuenta que los pacientes hubiesen sido intervenidos quirúrgicamente por cáncer de mama (CaMama), mayores de 18 años y que los estudios fuesen ensayos clínicos; resultando un total de 10 artículos seleccionados. Se evaluó la calidad metodológica y factor de impacto de cada uno de ellos. Síntesis de resultados Las variables analizadas fueron reducción del linfedema, calidad de vida y abordaje del dolor. El tratamiento a través de drenaje linfático manual (DLM) presentó mejorías en todos los artículos que hacían referencia a la reducción del linfedema, tanto de forma individual como de forma aislada; en cambio, respecto a los dolores miofasciales el tratamiento de liberación miofascial mostró mejoras tanto en la calidad emocional como en la disminución del dolor, siendo más efectivo en esta última variable. Conclusiones Los tratamientos que mejoran la calidad de vida y dolor de los pacientes que han sufrido una intervención quirúrgica debido al CaMama, además de reducir el linfedema son DLM, facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva (FNP), liberación miofascial y programas de ejercicios y entrenamientos. La limitación principal respecto a los tratamientos, es que no existe ningún programa de intervención específico (AU)

Objective To compare the evidence of the different treatments for lymphedema and possible postmastectomy myofascial pain, to achieve the highest quality of life for patients. Search strategy and selection of studies A search was carried out in the PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and Web of Science (WOS) databases during March and April 2022. It was taken into account that the patients had undergone surgery surgically for breast cancer, that they were over 18 years of age and that the studies were clinical trials; resulting in a total of 10 selected articles. The methodological quality and impact factor of each of them were evaluated. Summary of results The variables analyzed were reduction of lymphedema, quality of life and pain management. Treatment through manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) presented improvements in all the articles that made reference to the reduction of lymphedema, both individually and in isolation; On the other hand, regarding myofascial pain, myofascial release treatment showed improvements in both emotional quality and pain reduction, being more effective in this last variable. Conclusions The treatments that improve the quality of life and pain of patients who have undergone surgery due to breast cancer, in addition to reducing lymphedema, are manual lymphatic drainage, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, myofascial release, and exercise and training programs. The main limitation regarding treatments is that there is no specific intervention program (AU)

Profitability of Concentrated Solar-Biomass hybrid power plants: Dataset of the stochastic techno-economic assessment.

An increasing share of dispatchable renewable generation is required to achieve energy decarbonisation goals and ensure a reliable supply to power grids. Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants hybridised with biomass boilers are promising alternatives to replace part of the peaking and baseload power generated from fossil fuel-based systems. This paper includes data related to the design variables, equations, valuation parameters and detailed results that support the research article "Market profitability of CSP-Biomass hybrid power plants: Towards a firm supply of renewable energy." The profitability assessment is based on integrating the hourly variation of electricity prices in the Iberian day-ahead market (MIBEL) to the results of the techno-economic model through a novel economic metric named Profitability Factor. In addition, stochastic simulations were conducted to capture the uncertainty of relevant input variables on the profitability of the proposed hybrid plants. The resulting datasets presented in this paper will provide insights for researchers looking to address the economic performance of renewable generation concepts from a market profitability approach. Furthermore, the data can be used by investors and policymakers to better understand the risks and implications associated with the profitability potential of these systems.

Data for the modelling of the future power system with a high share of variable renewable energy.

Energy and power system models have become necessary tools that provide challenges and technical and economic solutions for integrating high shares of Variable Renewable Energy. Models are focused on analysing strategies of power systems to achieve their decarbonisation targets. The data presented in this paper includes the model algorithm, inputs, equations, modelling assumptions, supplementary materials, and results of the simulations supporting the research article titled "Facing the high share of variable renewable energy in the power system: flexibility and stability requirements". The analysis is based on data from the system operator of one of the European Union member states (Spain). The developed model allows making projections and calculations to obtain the power generation of each technology, the international interconnections, inertia, emissions, system costs and flexibility requirements of new technologies. These data can be used for energy policy development or decision making on power capacity and the balancing needs of the future power system.

[Relationship between laryngoscopy degree and intubation difficulty]. / Relación entre el grado de largingoscopia y de dificultad de intubación.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the relation between difficult intubation and grade of direct laryngoscopy, as well as the factors that influence them, and prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHOD: In 1,336 patients receiving general anesthesia, seven airway measurements were made to reflect degree of difficulty and predictive value of presurgical tests on direct laryngoscopy and intubation. RESULTS: The incidences of difficult laryngoscopic and intubation procedures were 1.4 and 3.0%, respectively. Difficult intubation was more frequent in women and in patients between 40 and 65 years of age (p < 0.05). In 105 intubations (64.8%) performed with moderate difficulty (use of a stylette, external laryngeal pressure or two tries) and 17 (41.5%) performed with difficulty (three or more tries), the laryngoscopic procedure was graded as easy (Cormack-Lehane grade I-II). In these cases (easy laryngoscopy with moderate/difficult intubation), the causes recorded were size of endotracheal tube in comparison with the laryngeal opening (n = 11); anterior glotis (n = 36); insufficient relaxation (n = 31); disease in or beyond the vocal cords (n = 29); or undetermined (n = 15). In the easy intubation cases, the laryngoscopic procedures were grade III in 2.9%. Intubation was difficult in 16.3% (n = 39) of patients presenting some type of abnormality upon examination of the airway (p < 0.05). The airway characteristic that best predicted laryngoscopic difficulty was extension of the lower neck to 90 degrees (relative risk of 4.46), mouth opening less than 3.5 cm (3.92), presence of two airway abnormalities (4.25) and presence of three or more abnormalities (5.39) (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The fact that cases of easy laryngoscopy coincide with difficult intubation suggests that, to the degree of intubation difficulty must be added extrinsic factors (individual skill, maneuvers performed, instrumentation, relaxation of the laryngeal musculature and others) that are hard to standardize and reflect when predicting an intubation by the grade of difficulty in laryngoscopy.
