    Reconocer cómo la prensa escrita en su versión online en Colombia (ElTiempo.com) y (El Espectador.com) de enero de 2019 a diciembre de 2019 representan socialmente a la mujer venezolana.En la actualidad latinoamericana, la migración venezolana se ha convertido en una problemática de índole social, cultural, político y económico; según el periódico El Tiempo, este es un “fenómeno social que ya se convirtió en la migración más alta de nuestra historia”. En Colombia, las olas migratorias, en este caso de venezolanos y venezolanas, han llevado a establecer medidas migratorias para atender a los migrantes venezolanos que huyen de la crisis en su país. En este sentido, según cifras de la ACNUR, Colombia es el principal país de acogida, con 1,1 millones de inmigrantes y refugiados, seguido de Perú (506.000), Chile (288.000), Ecuador (221.000), Argentina (130.000) y Brasil (96.000). Por su parte, los medios de comunicación, han contribuido en formar una imagen estigmatizada del y la venezolana desde la condición de desigualdad en cuanto al género, edad, nivel educativo, empleabilidad, salud sexual y reproductiva. Por tal razón, a partir del dispositivo metodológico denominado análisis de contenido cuantitativo, el objetivo de esta investigación es reconocer cómo la prensa escrita en su versión online en Colombia (ElTiempo.com) y (El Espectador) representan socialmente a la mujer venezolana. Se hace el enfoque de género, porque es la mujer, la que ha tenido que librar con el estereotipo desde su condición estética y sexual como “la veneca” que la movilidad humana la condiciona a ofrecer intercambio sexual a favor de mejorar su condición de vida.In Latin America today, Venezuelan migration has become a problem of a social, cultural, economic and political nature; According to the newspaper El Tiempo, this is a “social phenomenon that has already become the highest migration in our history”.

    Purpose: This study compared stress and eating behaviors pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic in college students. METHODS: This was a non-experimental comparative study. Participants were invited to the laboratory for a single visit to measure eating behaviors and stress indicators. Four instruments were used in this study: The Weight and Lifestyle Inventory questionnaire, the Mindfulness Eating Questionnaire, the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Independent t-test and a two-way ANOVA were used to compare participants who were tested before the COVID-19 pandemic declaration and after. RESULTS: N=151 (n=81 male, n=70 female) participants completed pre-covid testing, and a separate group, N=79, completed post-covid testing (n=40 male and n=26 female). There was a pre-post COVID*sex interaction on TFEQ-uncontrolled eating (F(1,207) = 4.73, p = .031, ƞ2 = .022). There were pre-post COVID group differences (F(1,204) = 5.64, p = .019, ƞ2 = .027) and sex differences (F(1,204) = 16.84, p \u3c 0.001, ƞ2 = .076) on the TFEQ-emotional eating. There were pre-post COVID group differences in eating when stressed, depressed/upset, anxious, and when alone (all p\u3c.05). There were sex differences in eating when stressed, depressed/upset, anxious, and when alone (all p \u3c.05). PSS score increased from pre- to post-pandemic declaration (p = .003). Females (20.4 ± 5.4) reported higher stress than males (17.8 ± 6.3) (p = .003). CONCLUSION: Post-pandemic college students show increased stress levels and emotional eating compared to pre-COVID-19 college students. Female college students reported higher stress and emotional eating levels than male college students

    El síndrome de Burnout (SB), es un tipo de estrés laboral, considerado por la organización Mundial de la Salud como una enfermedad laboral que conlleva al deterioro de la salud física y mental en las personas; ya que se cree que resulta del fracaso del individuo para adaptarse a situaciones laborales que generen un estrés alto y prolongado, presentándose mayormente en profesionales de la salud. Se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo, transversal en una institución pequeña de salud de primer nivel de complejidad, donde el sujeto de estudio fueron los trabajadores de la salud. El objetivo del estudio es establecer la prevalencia del Síndrome de Burnout en los trabajadores de la salud de la corporación IPS costa de Ciénega - Magdalena, para lo cual se implementó el cuestionario de Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Se encuestaron 19 trabajadores de la salud, 7 hombres (37%) y 12 mujeres (63%), con una prevalencia del 10,53 % (2 casos) para síndrome de Burnout. Frente a la prevalencia de las dimensiones se mostró que la Realización Profesional fue 63,16% para alto, la Despersonalización 63,16% para bajo y Agotamiento Emocional 63,16% para bajo. Se considera que una prevalencia del 10,53% para síndrome de burnout en el grupo estudiado hacen preciso buscar profundizar más en el estudio de este síndrome en instituciones de salud pequeñas, con la inclusión de los factores transculturales y características particulares relacionadas con el cargo del personal de salud, y que permita el comparar con datos obtenidos de instituciones de mayor tamaño y complejidadUniversidad Libre Seccional Barranquilla -- Ciencias de la Salud -- Especialización de Seguridad y Salud en el TrabajoBurnout syndrome (SB) is a type of work-related stress considered by the World Health Organization as an occupational disease that leads to deterioration of physical and mental health in people; Since it is believed that it results from the failure of the individual to adapt to work situations that generate high and prolonged stress, being presented mainly in health professionals. A descriptive, cross - sectional study was carried out in a small health institution of the first level of complexity, where the study subjects were health workers. The objective of the study is to establish the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome in the health workers of the IPS coast of Ciénega - Magdalena, for which the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire was implemented. Nineteen health workers, seven men (37%) and 12 women (63%) were surveyed, with a prevalence of 10.53% (2 cases) for Burnout syndrome. Faced with the prevalence of the dimensions, it was shown that the Professional Performance was 63.16% for high, Depersonalization 63.16% for low and Emotional Exhaustion 63.16% for low. It is considered that a prevalence of 10.53% for burnout syndrome in the studied group makes it necessary to seek more in depth the study of this syndrome in small health institutions, with the inclusion of the transcultural factors and particular characteristics related to the charge of the Health personnel, and that allows the comparison with data obtained from institutions of greater size and comple

    A genetic modifier suggests that endurance exercise exacerbates Huntington's disease.

    Polyglutamine expansions in the huntingtin gene cause Huntington's disease (HD). Huntingtin is ubiquitously expressed, leading to pathological alterations also in peripheral organs. Variations in the length of the polyglutamine tract explain up to 70% of the age-at-onset variance, with the rest of the variance attributed to genetic and environmental modifiers. To identify novel disease modifiers, we performed an unbiased mutagenesis screen on an HD mouse model, identifying a mutation in the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel (Scn4a, termed 'draggen' mutation) as a novel disease enhancer. Double mutant mice (HD; Scn4aDgn/+) had decreased survival, weight loss and muscle atrophy. Expression patterns show that the main tissue affected is skeletal muscle. Intriguingly, muscles from HD; Scn4aDgn/+ mice showed adaptive changes similar to those found in endurance exercise, including AMPK activation, fibre type switching and upregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of endurance training on HD mice. Crucially, this training regime also led to detrimental effects on HD mice. Overall, these results reveal a novel role for skeletal muscle in modulating systemic HD pathogenesis, suggesting that some forms of physical exercise could be deleterious in neurodegeneration
