- Expression of the GBGT1 gene and the Forssman antigen in red blood cells in a Palestinian populationPublication . Abusibaa, Wafa Ali; Srour, Mahmoud A.; Moslemi, Ali-Reza; Svensson, Lola; Jesus, Carlos; Mendes, Fernando 1973-; Hesse, CamillaThe Forssman antigen (FORS1 Ag) is expressed on human red blood cells (RBCs). We investigated its presence on RBCs from Palestinian subjects and Swedish subjects by serological testing and by sequencing part of exon 7 of the GBGT1 gene, which encodes Forssman synthase.
- Infrared thermal imaging monitoring on hands when performing repetitive tasks: An experimental studyPublication . Jesus, CarlosThe monitoring of infrared thermal images is reported to analyze changes in skin tempera ture in the hand fingers when repetitive work is performed to know which finger has a greater risk of injury, besides, the recovery time is analyzed regarding the initial temperature and its relationship with age, sex, weight, height if practice sports, and Body Mass Index (BMI) per individual. For the above, an experimental test was carried out for 10 minutes on a repetitive operation that takes place in the telecommunications industry and 39 subjects participated in which an infrared thermal image of the dorsal and palmar part of both hands was taken in periods of 5 minutes after the 10-minute test has elapsed. The results show that none of the participants recovered their initial temperature after 10 minutes of the experimental test. In addition, it was found that there is a relationship between skin temperature and sex, and that age influences the recovery of temperature. On the other hand, the thumb, index, and mid dle fingers have a higher risk of injury in the analyzed task. It is concluded that performing repetitive work with all the fingers of the hand does not show that all they have the same risk of injury, besides that, not all the variables studied affect the recovery of temperature and its behavior.
