Estudio de algunos bronces hallados en los yacimientos vacceos de Coca y la Cuesta del Mercado (Segovia, España)

El objetivo de este trabajo es dar a conocer algunas piezas de bronce halladas hace años en la ciudad vaccea de Cauca (Coca) y el castro protohistórico que se encuentra a unos 600 metros de esta, la Cuesta del Mercado, ambos en la provincia de Segovia. Se procederá a la realización de su estudio con el fin de aproximarnos a su cronología y a posible funcionalidad. Para ello, ha sido necesario realizar una labor de limpieza que permitiese analizar el tipo de decoración de cada pieza, poder compararlas con otras encontradas en la misma zona antes y con otros yacimientos vacceos, y conocer el máximo número de datos sobre ellasThe purpose of this paper is to show some new bronze pieces from the Vaccaean city of Cauca (Coca) and the protohistoric settlement of Cuesta del Mercado, both in the province of Segovia. A study of materials found will be executed in order to know their chronology and their functionality. For this purpose, it was necessary to tackle a cleaning process, the analysis of the decoration of each piece and the place where they were found. They could be compared with many other pieces found in the same area before and other vaccaean places. In this way, we could give light to the maximum details about the

Steps on Establishing a Faculty Development Curriculum for Health Science Educators in a New Medical School

Purpose: New Medical Schools need health science educators, to teach throughout the medical education continuum from basic science to clinical years. The need to establish a defined faculty development curriculum for health science educators will aid in standardizing best teaching practices and build a potential master teacher to move the curriculum toward active learning and innovation. The UTRGV SoM is a distributed campus, to achieve increase outreach we will offer synchronous and asynchronous online faculty development during the pandemic. This poster will share our progress to date. Methods: A pilot, faculty development program, was established from faculty needs assessment data, teaching observations, and student evaluations was rolled out in FY 2020. A designated faculty development curriculum was recommended to faculty and provided via synchronous and asynchronous viewing through videos and PowerPoints on a designated Blackboard site. The advancement of the continuum of best teaching practices will be measured by sessions completed, faculty feedback, and comparison of prior F2F faculty development data for 2016-2019. Results: We will present how this need-based curriculum session is delivered and received for best teaching practices among health science educators. We will discuss the cost of establishing the program, return on investment, advantages, and barriers to online implementation in a distributed campus during a pandemic. Conclusion: There is a need to improve faculty development opportunities that are interactive, self-directed, and offered online. These recommendations could result in increased synchronous and asynchronous faculty development attendance and learning and, in turn, increased student academic achievement

UT Health RGV COVID-19 Testing Report

Purpose: This health surveillance project\u27s goal was to organize de-identified data received from UT Health RGV with the intent to provide timely reporting to testing sites and health affairs directors. We aimed to explore how testing rates differ between counties, testing sites and age groups from March 30 through August 7, 2020. We looked at different demographics and compared the positivity rates for each testing site. For this report, we will detail information for the pediatric population (ages 0-18). Materials and Methods: A codebook and database were created with information about COVID-19 test data to formulate reports to the testing sites and directors. We used SPSS software to run descriptive statistics and preliminary analysis to help visualize the data. Results: Based on the American Academy of Pediatrics report on August 13, 2020, Texas only provides pediatric age distribution for 8% of their test results. Based on our data from the Rio Grande Valley, we can aid in reporting test results that included pediatrics demographics. We found that 40.6% (N=1016) of patients 18 or younger at time of testing tested positive (compared to the national average of 3.6-18.3%), 5.7% of total tests were done on patients 18 or younger (compared to 3-12% nationally), and 7.8% of our positive cases were in patients 18 or younger (compared to 9.1% nationally). By county, the positivity rates for COVID-19 testing were as follows: Cameron = 29.8% (N=6379), Hidalgo = 29.3% (N=11249), Starr = 14.3%(N=63), Willacy = 27.3% (N=99), Other TX = 14.3% (N=112), Out of state = 16.7% (N=54). Test positivity by testing site was: Edinburg = 28.7% (N=9637), Mercedes = 30.3% (N=2840), Harlingen = 31.6% (N=3377), Brownsville = 26.8% (N=2102). Limitations: Not all data is from unique individuals; this database includes retested individuals. Therefore, data results should be interpreted with caution. Additionally, when patients selected their race and ethnicity, the race options included all of the major races, yet ethnicity was limited to the Hispanic/Latino race and a blanket option for “non-Hispanic/Latino”, without the ability to choose other ethnicities. Interpreting data about ethnicity is therefore limited. Discussion: Further analysis is needed to identify patients retested. A data subset of retested individuals will provide accurate test positivity rate. Overall, the database can provide insightful pediatric data to establish rates of pediatric COVID-19 infections in South Texas. We hope that the data and analysis provided can help inform legislative decision making

Establishing a Mentoring Program for Health Science Educators in a New Medical School

Purpose: New Medical Schools need mentoring programs to enhance the personal and professional development of mentees and mentors. The need to establish a mentoring support mechanism is critical. This poster will share our progress to date. Methods: A pilot mentoring program was established for junior faculty. These faculty members were paired with an associate professor or professor to serve as mentors for career development and engage in a focused scholarly project over a nine-month period. Typically, the junior faculty is within the first three years of appointment and hold the rank of assistant professor. Each mentee will have 10% protected time for this program. Our mentoring program consists of the following requirements: 1) Develop an Individual Development Plan (IDP); 2) Schedule regular meetings with Mentor; 3)Attend faculty development mentoring activities; 4) Present a draft of a scholarly project; 5) Respond to surveys and evaluations; and 6) Attend the Graduation Ceremony. The mentoring program will be evaluated by mentee performance on Individual Development Plan (IDP), mentee-mentor meeting attendance, mentee participation in mentoring activities, mentee scholarly project presentation, mentor-mentee survey feedback, and mentoring program completion. Results: We will outline the benefits, challenges, and future implications of this pilot mentoring program. Mentors foster the opportunity to excel in academic medicine in clinical, teaching, and research. Mentees will serve as junior faculty champions for future mentees participants of the mentoring program. Conclusion: A mentoring program is critical in Schools of Medicine and Health Science Center. We have seen that with formal mentoring programs, junior faculty have a higher recruitment, retention rate and are committed to the mission and vision of their institution. We will take the lessons learned and address gaps in the planning and implementing this mentoring program for future cohorts

Establishing the First Student-Run Clinic to Provide Free Health Care to a South Texas Colonia

Purpose: The purpose of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine Student Run Clinic is to bridge the healthcare gap in the local colonias by providing excellent, compassionate primary care to all who enter our doors, free of charge. We also work to connect our patients to low-cost, high-quality services in the area like women’s health visits, appointments with social workers, and dental services. Additionally, we offer medical students’ opportunities from their first year to serve an underserved population and get hands-on experience with patients. Many patients in colonias face challenges like limited transportation options and a lack of awareness about affordable healthcare services, which can prevent them from accessing primary care. To address these issues, we chose to establish our student run clinic in 2016 at a community center located in Las Penitas, a location that is accessible to the target population. Description: Patients first get their vitals and blood glucose taken followed by bloodwork. HbA1c is checked every three months and a lipid panel is done yearly. The patient is then assigned to an examination room where a team of student volunteers conduct the patient interview and perform relevant physical exams briefly presenting to the attending physician and identifying a care plan. The team then discusses the diagnosis and treatment with the patient. The goal is to have the patient able to explain back to the care team about their disease management by the time of discharge. Under the supervision of a nurse practitioner, students are taught decision-making skills for performing lab draws. Regular lab work is crucial for managing chronic conditions like diabetes mellitus and hypertension. We make it a point to ensure the privacy of all our patients, as many are wary of seeking medical care in fear of being deported because of their undocumented status. Legal residency status is not a question we ask our patients, and we encourage patients to inform their friends and family that we are a space for all community members. Partners: We are supported our nurse practitioner who allows us to do routine blood work. Physicians associated with the school of medicine regularly volunteer their time to see patients with students and teach us valuable skills and medical knowledge. We work with the community center staff to schedule clinic dates, reach out to patients, manage patient paperwork, and facilitate our clinic days. Finally, our patients, the residents of Penitas and the neighboring areas, are also important stakeholders in our clinic. Looking Ahead: The clinic has seen amazing patient outcomes, especially seeing patients able to get affordable management of their chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. As the clinic expands, we envision going from monthly clinics to every two weeks. We also are currently working on moving to electronic medical records, so patient information can be logged and tracked much more efficiently. We would also like to use the patient data from our clinic to analyze so we can identify trends and potentially improve our methods of care

La representación del terrorismo islamista en la ficción televisiva a través de la serie ‘El Príncipe’ (2014)

El terrorismo ha sido siempre una causa de preocupación internacional; actualmente la principal amenaza es el yihadismo, un fenómeno global. Desde el 11-M, se incrementaron las operaciones antiterroristas en España, siendo Ceuta uno de los focos principales, motivado, en parte, por su proximidad con Marruecos. Tal es la inquietud que genera este tema, que se ha abordado en la ficción televisiva. Esta investigación analiza la serie ‘El Príncipe’ para estudiar cómo se ha articulado a través de ella un suceso real, la situación del yihadismo en el barrio del mismo nombre y cómo se representa a los árabes, pues los medios de comunicación han contribuido a crear una imagen estereotipada. PALABRAS CLAVE: Terrorismo, Yihadismo, Árabe, “El Príncipe”, Ficción Televisiva, RealidadTerrorism has always been an international worrying issue; nowadays, the main threat is yihadism, a global phenomenon. Since 11-M, the terrorist attack in Madrid's underground, antiterrorist operations in Spain have been more and more frequent, and Ceuta is one of the main center of attention. It has been motivated, partialy, because of its location near Morocco. There is such a concern with this issue that TV fiction is dealing with this setting. This research analyzes "El Príncipe" series in order to study a real event, yihadism situation in the neighborhood and how are arabs represented, because media contributed to create an image full of stereotypes.

Standardization of molecular monitoring for chronic myeloid leukemia in Latin America using locally produced secondary cellular calibrators

Residual disease in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients undergoing therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is measured by assessing the quantity of transcripts of the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene in peripheral white blood cells. This analysis is based on reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (RT–qPCR) technology; however, the wide array of methods used worldwide has led to large variation in quantitative BCR-ABL1 measurements, which hamper inter-laboratory comparative studiesFil: Ruiz, María Sol.

Tratamiento de las enfermedades periimplantarias

Tesis inédita de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Odontología, leída el 27-01-2020Las enfermedades periimplantarias son patología inflamatoria, de naturaleza infecciosa, que pueden conducir a la pérdida temprana de los implantes dentales, debido a la pérdida de los tejidos de soporte de los mismos. A pesar de las mejoras reportadas, la evidencia científica concluye que no existe un tratamiento predecible a largo plazo. Por lo tanto el objetivo general de este trabajo fue evaluar diferentes protocolos de manejo de enfermedades periimplantarias, en términos de variables clínicas y/o radiográficas, así como su estabilidad a medio/largo plazo. El primer objetivo específico de esta tesis fue evaluar un protocolo de manejo de mucositis periimplantaria, que incluyó la modificación de la prótesis de implante (para facilitar la higiene oral), instrucciones de higiene oral individualizadas y descontaminación de la superficie del implante mediante curetas y ultrasonidos con punta de plástico,con evaluaciones a 3 y 6 meses. El segundo objetivo específico de esta tesis fue evaluar los cambios en las variables clínicas y radiográficas tras la descontaminación de la superficie del implante con ultrasonidos, peróxido de oxígeno al 3% y un cepillo de titanio, combinado con el uso de un injerto aloplástico y una membrana de colágeno, en el tratamiento de defectos infraóseos en implantes a 6 y 12 meses. El tercer objetivo específico fue evaluar los cambios en las variables clínicas y radiográficas en regeneración de defectos óseos en periimplantitis mediante aloinjerto impregnado con vancomicina y tobramicina (VTA) y una membrana de colágeno a los 12 meses. La conclusión general de esta serie de estudios, que han evaluado diferentes protocolos en el manejo de las enfermedades periimplantarias, es que estos aportan resultados favorables en la prevención y el tratamiento de las mismas. No obstante, se necesitan más estudios, con mayor tiempo de seguimiento, para corroborar los resultados obtenidos.Peri-implant diseases are increasingly prevalent pathologies , which can lead to early loss of implants and their supported prosthesis. Consequently, the re is a clear need of a predictable therapy and, despite clinically important improvements reported, there is a limited efficacy of treatment procedures in achieving complete disease resolution. Thus , the general objective of this thesis is to evaluate different protocols of peri-implant diseases management, in terma of clinical and/or radiographic variables, and their stability. The first secondary objective of this thesis is to evaluate a protocol of PM management, including the modification of the implant prosthesis (in order to facilitate oral hygiene), individualized oral hygiene instructions and decontamination of the implant surface by ultrasonic with a plastic tip and plastic curettes after a healing period of 3 and 6 months, in terms of clinical variables changes. The second secondary objective of this thesis is to evaluate clinical and radiographic variables changes by decontamination of the implant surface with ultrasonic, 3% h2O2, and a titanium brush, combined to the use of hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate graft plus a cross-link collagen membrane, in the treatment of infraosseous defects around implants, after 6 and 12 months. The third secondary objective of this thesis is to access clinical and radiographic variables changes in PI sites treated with allograft impregnated with vancomycinand tobramycin (VTA) and a crosslink collagen membrane, after a healing period of 12 months.Fac. de OdontologíaTRUEunpu

Chemical composition, antibacterial and repellent activities of Azorella trifurcata, Senecio pogonias, and Senecio oreophyton essential oils

The antibacterial and insect-repellent activities of the essential oils (EOs) from Argentinian medicinal plants Azorella trifurcata (Gaertn.) Pers., Senecio cfr. oreophyton J. Remy and Senecio cfr. pogonias Cabrera, were investigated. All EOs showed good repellent properties against Triatoma infestans Klug, the vector of the Chagas disease, with percent repellence values between 60% and 70% at 24 hours compared with positive control N-N diethyl-m-methylbenzamide (DEET) and moderate activity against the bacteria tested with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) values between 31.2 and 2000 μg/ml. The Azorella trifurcata, Senecio pogonias and S. oreophyton EOs, obtained by hydrodistillation, were characterized by GC-FID and GC/MS analyses. Spathulenol (38.2%), myrtenyl acetate (8.4%) and α-terpineol (4.5%), limonene (9.8%) and α-thujene (5.4%) were the main constituents in the EO of Azorella trifurcata. The Senecio pogonias and S. oreophyton EOs are characterized by a high content of monoterpenes hydrocarbons (92% and 95.1%, respectively) with α-pinene, the main component in both oils. To our knowledge, the essential oil composition from Andean medicinal plants A. trifurcata, Senecio pogonias and S. oreophyton collected in central Andean slopes are reported for first time.Fil: López, Sandra Beatriz.
