2-Heptanone Produces Sensorial-Emotional Changes, Depending on Length of Exposure / La 2-heptanona produce cambios sensorio-emocionales, dependiendo del tiempo de exposición by Ana Gloria Gutiérrez-García, Carlos M. Contreras, María Remedios Mendoza-López

“…In part two of this study, 141 male and female volunteers, sniffed this ketone and with a simple questionnaire it was determined that the longest tested duration (180 s) of sniffing 2-heptanone lowered the acceptance of sniffing this ketone again, compared with the shorter sniffing durations (5 and 60 s), with no differences between sexes. The increased concentration of 2-heptanone during the day before menstruation may be considered as part of the functional changes preceding menstruation and sniffing this ketone may produce sensorial-emotional changes depending on time of sniffing, the significance of this deserves further study.   …”

Feasibility and usefulness of Gini coefficients of primary care visits as a measure of service inequality: preliminary findings from a cross-sectional study using region-wide elect... by Xin Yang, Jing Chai, Jing Cheng, DeBin Wang, XingRong Shen, Rong Liu, ManMan Lu, Jia Xu, Ningjing Yang, Guocheng Li

“…While the observed GPVs for all causes witnessed: great inter-region variations, with the highest GPV being 4.38 times the lowest; a general decreasing trend over the 9-quarter period, being reduced by 18.48% on average; and atypical J-shaped trajectories along age groups for both sexes. The multivariate modelling revealed statistically significant associations between the all-cause-GPV and 10 out of 14 commonly available community-level variables studied.Conclusions GPVs can be accurately estimated using a limited number of months of EMRs and, guided by the relevant framework, analysis of GPVs can unveil useful clues in addressing unequal primary healthcare utilisation.…”
