Linking institutional quality to environmental sustainability.
(Wiley, 2022) Jahanger, Atif; Usman, Muhammad; Balsalobre Lorente, Daniel
This study investigates the influence of democracy, autocracy, and globalization on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 69 developing countries from 1990 to 2018. We used the unit root approaches to scrutinize the level of stationarity and recognize that all concern variables were unified at first difference.

Intensive complex physical therapy combined with intermittent pneumatic compression versus Kinesio taping for treating breast cancer-related lymphedema of the upper limb
(Wiley, 2022) Pajero Otero, Violeta; García Delgado, Esther; Martín Cortijo, Concepción; Rodríguez Ramos, María Luisa; De Carlos Iriarte, Esperanza; Gil García, Alejandra; Romay Barrero, Helena; Avendaño Coy, Juan
Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of complex physical therapy combined with intermittent pneumatic compression (CPT + IPC) versus Kinesio taping (KT) for breast cancer-related lymphedema. Methods: A cross-over clinical trial was conducted in 43 women with lymphedema. All participants received two interventions: CPT + IPC and KT, both lasting 3 weeks and a washout period. The main outcome variable was the relative volume change (RVC). The secondary variables were Satisfaction Questionnaire about Textile Therapeutic Devices used for Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, motion range of upper limb and lymphedema-related symptoms.

Statins effect on insulin resistance after a meal and exercise in hypercholesterolemic pre-diabetic individuals.
(Wiley, 2022) Álvarez Jiménez, Laura; Morales Palomo, Félix; Moreno Cabañas, Alfonso; Ortega Fonseca, Juan Fernando; Mora Rodríguez, Ricardo
Aim: To study if statins, a widely prescribed, inexpensive medication to prevent coronary artery diseases may cause insulin resistance (IR). Methods: Fasted (HOMA-IR) and post-meal insulin resistance were assessed in 21 pre-diabetic hypercholesterolemic individuals treated with statins (STA trial). Measurements were compared to another trial conducted 96 h after statin withdrawal using placebo pills (PLAC trial). Trials were duplicated 16–18 h after a bout of moderate-intensity exercise (500 kcal of energy expenditure) to reduce IR and better appreciate statin effects (EXER+STA and EXER+PLAC trials).

Ensemble learning for the partial label ranking problem.
(Wiley, 2022) Alfaro Jiménez, Juan Carlos; Aledo Sánchez, Juan Ángel; Gámez Martín, José Antonio
The partial label ranking problem is a general interpretation of the preference learning scenario known as the label ranking problem, the goal of which is to learn preference classifiers able to predict a complete ranking with ties over the finite set of labels of the class variable. In this paper, we use unsupervised discretization techniques (equal-frequency and equal-width binning) to heuristically select the threshold for the numerical features in the algorithms based on induction of decision trees (partial label ranking trees algorithm).

Global trends of dalbavancin: A bibliometric analysis.
(Wiley, 2022) Monteagudo Martínez, Nuria; Solís García del Pozo, Julián; Ikuta, Ichiro; Galindo Anaya, María Francisca; Jordán Bueso, Joaquín
What is known and objective?: Dalbavancin is used against gram-positive pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus in acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections. Methods: Our main goal was to identify the key articles sustaining the current knowledge of this drug's therapeutic possibilities through a bibliometric analysis of the available literature.
