    El presente trabajo de investigación de tipo cualitativo tiene como objetivo general concientizar sobre los factores de riesgo del Alzheimer, aplicando el plan de comunicación alternativo: Activa y Protege tu memoria, a los pacientes del Hospital Jerusalén– Trujillo en el año 2018, para cumplir el mismo se realizó un diagnóstico de los estilos de vida de pacientes de la muestra en estudio, aplicando una entrevista semiestructurada de 9 preguntas, encontrando como información relevante que los pacientes en su mayoría tiene un perfil sedentario, es decir no hacen ejercicios, y además dentro de su dieta alimenticia incluyen frutas y verduras, también se identificó un bajo nivel de conocimiento sobre el Alzheimer, ignorando los factores de riesgo y las medidas preventivas de dicha enfermedad. Con base a esta información se diseñó e implementó el plan de comunicación alternativa Activa y Protege tu memoria, que buscó concientizar sobre los factores de riesgo modificables del Alzheimer; como parte de su implementación se realizaron tres talleres: taller de gimnasia cognitiva, taller de nutrición y taller de estimulación sonora rítmica musical, los mismos que se desarrollaron durante 7 semanas y ayudaron a los pacientes de la muestra a conocer las diferentes técnicas existentes para mantener una mente lúcida y activa e identificar una correcta dieta nutritiva. Para conocer el impacto del plan de comunicación, luego de la aplicación de los talleres se desarrolló un focus group donde se discutió sobre temas relacionados al Alzheimer identificando que los pacientes se encontraban con mayor conocimiento sobre la enfermedad y mejor predisposición para cambiar sus estilos de vida minimizando los factores de riesgo; incluso algunos pacientes ya habían cambiado sus hábitos alimenticios y desarrollaban actividades ejercicios físicos y mentales de acuerdo a las recomendaciones brindadas. Por tanto se afirma que la presente investigación alcanzó sus objetivos propuestos

    Background The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infests farmed and wild salmonid fishes, causing considerable economic damage to the salmon farming industry. Infestations of farmed salmon are controlled using a combination of non-medicinal approaches and veterinary drug treatments. While L. salmonis has developed resistance to most available salmon delousing agents, relatively little is known about the molecular mechanisms involved. Members of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily are typically monooxygenases, some of which are involved in the biosynthesis and metabolism of endogenous compounds, while others have central roles in the detoxification of xenobiotics. In terrestrial arthropods, insecticide resistance can be based on the enhanced expression of CYPs. The reported research aimed to characterise the CYP superfamily in L. salmonis and assess its potential roles in drug resistance. Methods Lepeophtheirus salmonis CYPs were identified by homology searches of the genome and transcriptome of the parasite. CYP transcript abundance in drug susceptible and multi-resistant L. salmonis was assessed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR, taking into account both constitutive expression and expression in parasites exposed to sublethal levels of salmon delousing agents, ecdysteroids and environmental chemicals. Results The above strategy led to the identification of 25 CYP genes/pseudogenes in L. salmonis, making its CYP superfamily the most compact characterised for any arthropod to date. Lepeophtheirus salmonis possesses homologues of a number of arthropod CYP genes with roles in ecdysteroid metabolism, such as the fruit fly genes disembodied, shadow, shade, spook and Cyp18a1. CYP transcript expression did not differ between one drug susceptible and one multi-resistant strain of L. salmonis. Exposure of L. salmonis to emamectin benzoate or deltamethrin caused the transcriptional upregulation of certain CYPs. In contrast, neither ecdysteroid nor benzo[a]pyrene exposure affected CYP transcription significantly. Conclusions The parasite L. salmonis is demonstrated to possess the most compact CYP superfamily characterised for any arthropod to date. The complement of CYP genes in L. salmonis includes conserved CYP genes involved in ecdysteroid biosynthesis and metabolism, as well as drug-inducible CYP genes. The present study does not provide evidence for a role of CYP genes in the decreased susceptibility of the multiresistant parasite strain studied

    The conceptual and practical ethical dilemmas of using health discussion board posts as research data.

    Increasing numbers of people living with a long-term health condition are putting personal health information online, including on discussion boards. Many discussion boards contain material of potential use to researchers; however, it is unclear how this information can and should be used by researchers. To date there has been no evaluation of the views of those individuals sharing health information online regarding the use of their shared information for research purposes

    Background A number of studies have measured college student food insecurity prevalence higher than the national average; however, no multicampus regional study among students at 4-y institutions has been undertaken in the Appalachian and Southeast regions of the United States. Objectives The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of food insecurity among college students in the Appalachian and Southeastern regions of the United States, and to determine the association between food-insecurity status and money expenditures, coping strategies, and academic performance among a regional sample of college students. Methods This regional, cross-sectional, online survey study included 13,642 college students at 10 public universities. Food-insecurity status was measured through the use of the USDA Adult Food Security Survey. The outcomes were associations between food insecurity and behaviors determined with the use of the money expenditure scale (MES), the coping strategy scale (CSS), and the academic progress scale (APS). A forward-selection logistic regression model was used with all variables significant from individual Pearson chi-square and Wilcoxon analyses. The significance criterion α for all tests was 0.05. Results The prevalence of food insecurity at the universities ranged from 22.4% to 51.8% with an average prevalence of 30.5% for the full sample. From the forward-selection logistic regression model, MES (OR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.40, 1.55), CSS (OR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.18, 1.21), and APS (OR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.91, 0.99) scores remained significant predictors of food insecurity. Grade point average, academic year, health, race/ethnicity, financial aid, cooking frequency, and health insurance also remained significant predictors of food security status. Conclusions Food insecurity prevalence was higher than the national average. Food-insecure college students were more likely to display high money expenditures and exhibit coping behaviors, and to have poor academic performance
