Electrospinning, by which we mean the process of producing nanofibers, is the future of material production. For this reason, companies are pouring a lot of money into researching this area.   The full potential of this technology is still not known, but it is already proving useful across many sectors, both industrial and medical as well as food production. Depending on the intended application it is important to work with an electrospinning machine manufacturer that is able to adapt to the individual needs of the research institution or manufacturer that is exploring the possibilities of nanofiber production. There are a wide range of machines available and knowing which is the…

There are sports such as weightlifting, marathon and speed 100 meters, in which performance depends almost exclusively on these variables (strength, endurance and speed). Other mixed sports depend on the optimal use of combinations between different abilities and even tactics, strategy and synergy with other athletes (football, tennis …). To stand out in a sport, especially in those that require purer capacities, is conditioned by the ability that our muscles have to contract with more or less intensity at greater or lesser speed, using for it different metabolic substrates (‘gasoline vs. Diesel’). The muscle specialises in adapting to the stimulus in order to carry out this stimulus in the future…

Borderline personality disorder (LPT) is characterized by a recurrent and persistent pattern of instability in personal relationships, distortions of self-image, and marked impulsivity in various contexts. The symptoms inherent to this pathology, its high use of mental health services and its high suicide rate, mean that these patients may have a reduced quality of life. This decrease in their quality of life would manifest itself in two areas: in a disability to carry out day-to-day tasks in a functional way, such as those related to work, studies or self-care, and in a deterioration of the quality of life related to health, such as physical medical conditions. This is due to…

Since 2008, suicide has been the tenth leading cause of death in the United States, with rates that have gradually increased in recent years. This is one of the alarming conclusions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obtained from mortality data from the National Vital Statistics System for the years 1999-2017. The following is a summary of the main findings of the CDC that highlight the increase in the suicide rate in the United States, a serious public health problem – defined as such by the WHO – whose high prevalence affects the world: From 1999 to 2017, the age-adjusted suicide rate has increased by 33%, from 10.5…

The intervention with programs of brief emotional treatment, aspires to be a challenge, if what is tried is a progressive recovery and maintained in the time. Although it may seem utopian to achieve it in the medium term (six months), it is not unattainable over time (one year). However, would it then be possible for people with dual pathology (PD) addiction disorder and mental disorder to do so? Here, controversy may arise. On the one hand, there would be the professionals who would consider it with great difficulty and not put it into practice, and on the other, those specialized in the subject, who consider that it is possible to…

Because of its clear support for research, cognitive-behavioral therapy predominates in international guidelines for psychological and social treatments, constituting a first-line treatment for many disorders. This is stated in an article recently published in the online journal Frontiers of Psychiatry, through which this type of therapy is addressed, arguing why it is considered the reference psychological treatment. As the authors point out, this article arises due to the increase of professionals who argue for plurality in Psychotherapy and question cognitive-behavioral therapy as a reference treatment. Against this argument, they state that CBT is the reference psychological treatment for several reasons, including the following: (1) It is the most researched form…
