Situación Actual del Empleo con Apoyo en España
The article presents a study on the quantitative status of Supported Employment in Spain. It has been developed by the Institute for Community Integration (INICO) of the University of Salamanca in collaboration with Spanish Association for Supported Employment (AESE). Every known program was contacted and relevant information was gathered using a questionnaire. The results of the study show that there are 35 programs in the whole of Spain which have supported 1,389 individuals. In the study, some other factors are analysed: evolution, autonomous community distribution, maintained jobs, persons integrated by type of disability, continuance in the job, support needs, job coaches per post, and participation in European Community funding. Eventually, the study is drawn to an end by a critical analysis of gathered data and some conclusions and suggestions are put forward so as to guide the development of Supported Employment programs

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPPT). Still an unsolved enigma
Solid pseudo-papillary tumor (SPPT) is a rare cystic tumor of
the pancreas (1-3% of exocrine tumors of the pancreas) which
shows an “enigmatic” behavior on the clinical and molecular pattern.
A retrospective analysis of the citological studies and resected
specimens of pancreatic cystic tumors from May 1996 to February
2010 was carried out. Three cases of SPPT were found,
which are the objective of this study. The diagnosis was established
upon occasional finding in the abdominal CT, in spite of sizing
between 3 and 6 cm of diameter. In the three cases the preoperative
diagnosis was confirmed by citology and specific
immunohistochemical staining. Cases 2 and 3 showed strong immunoreactivity
for Beta-Catenina and E-Cadherina staining. Radical
resection (R0) was carried out in the three cases. A young
male –21 years of age (case 1)- who had duodenal infiltration and
two lymph nodes metastases died of hepatic and peritoneal recurrence
20 months following surgery. The other two cases are free
of disease. The current review of the literature reports roughly
800 cases since the first report in 1959, and shows the enigmatic
character of this tumor regarding the cellular origin, molecular
pathways, prognostic factors and clinical behavior
Diagnosis, management, and outcomes of patients with syncope and bundle branch block
Although patients with syncope and bundle branch block (BBB) are at high risk of developing atrio-ventricular block, syncope may be due to other aetiologies. We performed a prospective, observational study of the clinical outcomes of patients with syncope and BBB following a systematic diagnostic approach. Patients with ≥1 syncope in the last 6 months, with QRS duration ≥120 ms, were prospectively studied following a three-phase diagnostic strategy: Phase I, initial evaluation; Phase II, electrophysiological study (EPS); and Phase III, insertion of an implantable loop recorder (ILR). Overall, 323 patients (left ventricular ejection fraction 56 ± 12%) were studied. The aetiological diagnosis was established in 267 (82.7%) patients (102 at initial evaluation, 113 upon EPS, and 52 upon ILR) with the following aetiologies: bradyarrhythmia (202), carotid sinus syndrome (20), ventricular tachycardia (18), neurally mediated (9), orthostatic hypotension (4), drug-induced (3), secondary to cardiopulmonary disease (2), supraventricular tachycardia (1), bradycardia-tachycardia (1), and non-arrhythmic (7). A pacemaker was implanted in 220 (68.1%), an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in 19 (5.8%), and radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed in 3 patients. Twenty patients (6%) had died at an average follow-up of 19.2 ± 8.2 months. In patients with syncope, BBB, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 56 ± 12%, a systematic diagnostic approach achieves a high rate of aetiological diagnosis and allows to select specific treatment
