    Incorporation of CuO nanoparticles into thin-film composite reverse osmosis membranes (TFC-RO) for antibiofouling properties
    (SPRINGER, 2018) Garcia, A.; Rodriguez, B.; Ozturk, D.; Rosales, M.; Diaz, D. I.; Mautner, A.
    The effect of the incorporation during the interfacial polymerization process of copper-oxide (CuO) nanoparticles in thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane on their antibiofouling and desalinization performance have been studied. Membranes were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM), zeta potential and contact angle measurements. Bactericidal tests were performed using Escherichia coli and anti-adhesion properties were confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. Membrane performance using a cross flow cell was evaluated. XRD and SEM-EDX analyses confirmed the incorporation of these nanoparticles into the membrane. Similar contact angle, higher surface roughness and less negatively charged surface on modified membrane compared to that of the pristine membrane were observed. However, an excellent anti-adhesion and bactericidal effect were observed, mainly attributed to the copper toxicity. The desalination performance of the modified membrane showed an important salt rejection with stable water flux. In conclusion, the incorporation of CuO nanoparticles into TFC-RO membranes during the interfacial polymerization process is a potential alternative method to improve the antibiofouling capacities without impairing the performance of the membrane.

    Recommendations from parents of obese children in treatment to the health-care team: qualitative study
    (2017) Garcia, A.; Aspillaga, C.; Cruzat-Mandich, C.; Barja Y., Salesa
    Introduction: The family plays an essential role in the adherence and effectiveness in the treatment of childhood obesity. Caregivers’ experience is fundamental for proper guidance. Aim: To describe the recommendations for the health-care team made by parents of children that are being treated for obesity. Patients and Method: Cross-sectional and descriptive study with a qualitative approach and purposeful sampling. In the first semester of 2015, interviews were conducted with nine parents of children from 4 to 10 years old that were being treated for obesity ad who had at least three medical appointments in the previous year. The data analysis was based on the Grounded Theory Approach through open coding. The study was ethically approved and informed parental consent was obtained. Results: The results were grouped in the following main categories: a) Health-care team-caregiver relationship, b) Health-care team-child relationship, c) Encouraging family participation, d) Encouraging therapeutic adherence in the child and e) Frequency of medical appointments. Conclusion: From the perspective of this group of parents of obese children, the health-care team should establish a close therapeutic bond with the children and their parents during the treatment process, in addition to encouraging family participation. The importance of developing therapeutic interventions that consider the perspective of the patient’s system is emphasized.
