COMPUTER-BASED SIMULATION OF OCULAR PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION: A PATIENT-CENTERED TOOL TO ENHANCE AESTHETIC OUTCOMES

Eye loss affects facial symmetry, self-image, social interaction, and quality of life; therefore, ocular prosthetic rehabilitation must address not only anatomical restoration, but also the patient’s expectations, confidence, and understanding of the treatment process. The aim of...

Environmental Degradation and Sustainability Governance in Colombia: An Integrative Review

Thyrotoxic Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis in Colombia: From a Single Case to a Review of the National Experience

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a reversible but potentially severe complication of thyrotoxicosis characterized by acute muscle weakness and hypokalemia resulting predominantly from intracellular potassium redistribution. Although classically associated with Asian populat...

Energy Penalty, Financial Burden, and Fiscal Risk of Biosafety Ventilation Policies in Educational Buildings: A Probabilistic Analysis Under Market Volatility

Enforcing aggressive outdoor ventilation in public schools across hot and humid regions creates a steep, often unmanageable financial burden. While high air change rates (such as 5.0 air changes per hour, ACH) lower pathogen transmission risks, the resulting moisture condensation...
