We report acoustic measurements of popping bubbles during the collapsing of aqueous foams. The sound pattern is analyzed using classical methods of statistical physics. It is found that membrane rupture concerns a wide variety of situations: small and large membranes at the air/foam interface. Avalanches of popping bubbles are put into evidence. Time durations in between successive pops seem to be distributed on a universal power law. [less ▲]

Introduction: Children’s quality of life evaluation has specific methodological aspects. Objective: To examine the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Child Quality of Life Systemic Inventory (CQLSI), which is based on an innovative conceptual and methodological approach to quality of life self-assessment, namely by being interactive and playful, having a psychometry which operates several scores and allowing an analysis of each domain of life. Methods: 120 Portuguese children, from 8 to 12 years old. Results: Internal consistency of the four scores of the CQLSI (State, Goal, Rank and Gap) is satisfactory; all scores have their own specificity. Data show convergent validity. On the other hand, no satisfactory factorial structure was found. Conclusion: Feasibility and psychometric adequacy of the CQLSI Portuguese version seems demonstrated. [less ▲]

Aliskiren (Rasilez®), a direct renin inhibitor, is currently indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension, as monotherapy or in combination, especially with hydrochlorothiazide (Rasilez HCT®). It may also be use to obtain a more complete blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) when it is associated with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) (or an AT1 angiotensin receptor antagonist) (ARA). There is some room for agents that may be more efficacious in reducing the progression of diabetic nephropathy than ACEI or ARA. In this context, the dual blockade of RAAS most probably offers a better efficacy than the simple blockade, but also exposes to a higher risk. Should ongoing trials confirm the preliminary favourable results, aliskiren might reach a forefront position among the armamentarium now available to optimize the RAAS blockade. The present article will summarize advances concerning the biochemical effects of the specific mode of action of aliskiren, especially the potential interferences related to increased renin/pro-renin levels, as well as results of recent clinical trials, not only in hypertension, but also in the fields of diabetes, renal insufficiency and cardiology. The objectives and design of the landmark study ALTITUDE will also be briefly presented. [less ▲]
