Se aborda desde la perspectiva de género cuestiones vinculadas a migraciones, refugiad*s, movimientos sociales, minorías culturales, educación intercultural, violencia, salud, derechos de las mujeres, derechos reproductivos, maternidad, entre otros

Hand-developed creative prototyping. Methodological proposal and experimentation

The generation of original and innovative ideas is a challenge for any professional. There are several studies that demonstrate how the capacity to explore creativity is reduced until reaching educational levels where it is hardly experienced, and for this reason it is necessary to introduce it in the classroom to complement their academic training before their incorporation into the labour market. The use of new technologies implies in turn an abandonment of manual or craft skills, losing in this area a very relevant possibility of creative development. Most of the methods that are usually used to generate ideas are related to oral and written conceptualization, but manual ideation is practically not contemplated. This study proposes a methodology for generating ideas based on traditional ideation from the physical creation of models as part of the creative process. This methodology has been used with satisfactory results in 38 courses at the Industrial Organisation School (Spain), with 382 people between 18 and 30 years of age participating in the study, demonstrating that the development of creative skills obtained through this new approach can have a very significant impact on students' later career development.This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial or not-for-profit sectors

Anthropometric study and living conditions in rural schoolchildren of the Río Chico department, Tucumán province, Argentina

Introducción: La antropometría es una valiosa herramienta para evaluar el estado nutricional y las condiciones de vida de las poblaciones. Tucumán posee antecedentes de elevada carga de malnutrición y pobreza. En este contexto, los estudios antropométricos cobran especial relevancia, particularmente en los grupos de mayor vulnerabilidad, como los escolares rurales.Objetivo: Describir el perfil antropométrico y el estado nutricional en relación a las condiciones socio-ambientales, socio-económicas y la alimentación de la población escolar rural del departamento Río Chico, provincia de Tucumán, Argentina.Material y métodos: Estudio cuantitativo transverso realizado en 300 escolares rurales. Se efectuaron mediciones de peso, talla y pliegues subcutáneos. Se determinó estado nutricional según referencias de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Las condiciones socio-económicas, socio-ambientales y alimentación se relevaron mediante un cuestionario autoadministrado.Resultados: 33,7% presentó exceso ponderal (17,0% obesidad y 16,7% sobrepeso) y 6,6% desnutrición (4,3% acortamiento y 2,3% emaciación). Los pliegues subcutáneos tendieron a ubicarse en los carriles percentilares más elevados. La desnutrición se relacionó con menores condiciones socio-ambientales y socio-económicas y el estado nutricional adecuado con la alimentación diversa.Conclusiones: El exceso ponderal afecta a uno de cada tres escolares en el medio rural de Rio Chico, mientras la desnutrición persiste en prevalencias inferiores, en sus formas crónica y aguda. Las condiciones socio-ambientales y socio-económicas de la región son deficitarias y se hallan estrechamente asociadas al estado nutricional de los niños y niñas.Introduction: Anthropometry is a valuable tool to assess the nutritional status and living conditions of populations. Tucumán has a history of high burden of malnutrition and poverty. In this context, anthropometric studies take on special relevance, particularly in the most vulnerable groups, such as rural schoolchildren. Objective: To describe the anthropometric profile and nutritional status in relation to the socio-environmental, socio-economic and feeding conditions of the rural school population of the Río Chico department, province of Tucumán, Argentina. Material and methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study carried out in 300 rural schoolchildren. Weight, height and subcutaneous folds were measured. Nutritional status was determined according to WHO references. Socio-economic, socio-environmental and feeding conditions were surveyed by means of a self-administered questionnaire. Results: 33,7% had excess weight (17,0% obesity and 16,7% overweight) and 6.6% undernutrition (4.3% stunting and 2.3% wasting). Skinfolds tended to be in the higher percentile lanes. Undernutrition was related to lower socio-environmental and socio-economic conditions and adequate nutritional status with a diverse diet. Conclusions: Excess weight affects one out of every three schoolchildren in rural Río Chico, while undernutrition persists in lower prevalences, in forms of stunting and wasting. The socio-environmental and socio-economic conditions of the region are deficient and are closely associated with the nutritional status of children.Fil: Salazar Burgos, Ramiro Joaquín.

Reliability and acceptability of the multiple mini-interview for selection of residents in cardiology

Introduction: The multiple mini-interview (MMI) model can be useful to evaluate non-cognitive domains and guide the selection process in medical residency programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and acceptability of the MMI model for the selection of residents in a cardiology residency program. Methods: We conducted an observational and prospective study. It was performed in a tertiary-care center specialized in cardiology and included candidates for the cardiology residency program in March 2018. Ten stations were developed to evaluate different non-cognitive domains. Reliability was evaluated by the generalizability G coefficient. Candidates and interviewers were surveyed to evaluate the acceptability of the MMI model. Results: Nine faculty members were trained and 22 candidates were evaluated. The G study showed a relative G coefficient between 0.56 and 0.73, according to the design. 91% of the candidates stated that they preferred MMI over other types of interviews as a selection method for admission to the residency program, and all the interviewers considered they had enough time to evaluate the candidates and their strengths as future residents. Conclusion: The MMI is a reliable model to evaluate candidates for a residency program in cardiology with high acceptability among residents and observers.Fil: Burgos, Lucrecia María.

Immunological response against SARS-CoV-2 following full-dose administration of Comirnaty® COVID-19 vaccine in nursing home residents

Objectives: The current study was aimed at examining SARS-CoV-2 immune responses following two doses of Comirnaty® COVID-19 vaccine among elderly people in nursing homes. Methods: A prospective cohort study in a representative sample from nursing homes in Valencia (n ¼ 881; males: 271, females 610; median age, 86 years) recruited residents using a random one-stage cluster sampling approach. A lateral flow immunochromatography device (LFIC) (OnSite COVID-19 IgG/ IgM Rapid Test; CTK BIOTECH, Poway, CA, USA) was used as the front-line test for detecting SARS-CoV-2- Spike (S)-specific antibodies in whole blood obtained using a fingerstick. Residents returning negative LFIC results underwent venipuncture and testing for presence of SARS-CoV-2-S-reactive antibodies and T cells using the Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S (Roche Diagnostics, Pleasanton, CA, USA), the LIAISON® SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS IgG assay (Diasorin S.p.A, Saluggia, Italy) and by flow cytometry, respectively. Results: The SARS-CoV-2-S antibody detection rate in nursing home residents was 99.6% (283/284) and 98.3% (587/597) for SARS-CoV-2 recovered and naïve residents, respectively, within a median of 99 days (range 17e125 days) after full vaccination. Three out of five residents lacking SARS-CoV-2-S antibodies had detectable S-reactive CD8þ and/or CD4þ T cells. In addition, 50/50 and 40/50 participants with detectable SARS-CoV-2 antibodies also had SARS-CoV-2-S-reactive interferon-g-producing CD4þ and CD8þ T cells, respectivelyMedicin

Nefritis intersicial aguda por rabeprazol

Acute interstitial nephritis is an increasingly common cause of acute kidney damage. The incidence is variable according to the series and challenging to quantify with precision due to the long-time interval between taking the drug and detecting kidney damage. Proton pump inhibitors are currently selected as one of the main drugs responsible for this entity after antibiotics. Early diagnosis and drug withdrawal are essential to treatment. Increased awareness might facilitate more rapid diagnosis and management of this potentially reversible kidney injury and avoid chronic kidney disease.La nefritis tubulointersticial aguda (NTIA) asociada a fármacos es una causa cada vez más frecuente de daño renal agudo. Su incidencia es variable y difícil de cuantificar con precisión por el intervalo de tiempo entre la toma del fármaco y la detección de la lesión renal. Los inhibidores de la bomba de protones (IBP) se consideran uno de los principales fármacos responsables de esta entidad tras los antibióticos. Una mayor conciencia acerca de la NTIA por IBP podría facilitar un diagnóstico y manejo más rápidos de esta lesión renal potencialmente reversible y evitar así la progresión a enfermedad renal crónica

Four weeks versus six weeks of ampicillin plus ceftriaxone in Enterococcus faecalis native valve endocarditis: A prospective cohort study

Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis (EFIE) is a severe disease of increasing incidence. The objective was to analyze whether the outcome of patients with native valve EFIE (NVEFIE) treated with a short course of ampicillin plus ceftriaxone (4wAC) was similar to patients treated according to international guidelines (6wAC). Between January 2008 and June 2018, 1,978 consecutive patients with definite native valve IE were prospectively included in a national registry. Outcomes of patients with NVEFIE treated with 4wAC were compared to those of patients who received 6wAC. Three hundred and twenty-two patients (16.3%) had NVEFIE. One hundred and eighty-three (56.8%) received AC. Thirty-nine patients (21.3%) were treated with 4wAC for four weeks and 70 patients (38.3%) with 6wAC. There were no differences in age or comorbidity. Patients treated 6wAC presented a longer duration of symptoms before diagnosis (21 days, IQR 7-60 days vs. 7 days, IQR 1-22 days; p = 0.002). Six patients presented perivalvular abscess and all of these received 6wAC. Surgery was performed on 14 patients (35.9%) 4wAC and 34 patients (48.6%) 6wAC (p = 0.201). In-hospital mortality, one-year mortality and relapses among 4wAC and 6wAC patients were 10.3% vs. 11.4% (p = 0.851); 17.9% vs. 21.4% (p = 0.682) and 5.1% vs. 4.3% (p = 0.833), respectively. In conclusion, a four-week course of AC may be considered as an alternative regimen in NVEFIE, notably in patients with shorter duration of symptoms and those without perivalvular abscess. These results support the performance of a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of this short regimen.This work was supported in part by the “Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias” (FIS) grant 17/01251 from the “Instituto de Salud Carlos III”, Madrid, Spain awarded to JMM.

SARS-CoV-2 adaptive immunity in nursing home residents up to eight months after two doses of the Comirnaty® COVID-19 vaccine

There is scant information as to how SARS-CoV-2 antibody and T-cell immune responses elicited by mRNA COVID-19 vaccines evolve in the general population, and in particular in elderly nursing home residents, who are at increased risk of developing severe clinical forms of COVID-19. We read with interest the work by Tré-Hardy and colleagues who reported a significant antibody decrease at around 6 months after full vaccination in healthcare workers, that was more marked in SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees [1]. The authors suggested that in a supply-limited environment, booster dose schemes may be spared for SARS-CoV-2-experienced individuals. The data presented herein extend this observation to elderly nursing home residents. The current prospective cohort study included 680 (478 female; median age, 87 years; range 65–100) of a cohort of 881 nursing home residents initially recruited from a representative sample of Valencian Community nursing homes (n = 13) for assessment of SARS-CoV-2 immune responses at a median of 3 months (3 M) following full-dose Comirnaty® COVID-19 vaccination [2] who were re-examined at a median of 219 days (range, 139–246) after vaccination (7 M). Out of the 680 participants, 238 had been infected by SARS-CoV-2 prior to receiving the first vaccine dose, as recorded in the electronic Valencia Health System Integrated Databases. Two residents contracted the infection (Delta variant, as documented by whole-genome sequencing) between sampling times (3 M and 7 M). The remaining 440 participants were presumably naïve for SARS-CoV-2 at the time of sampling (7 M).Peer reviewe

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain in the successive pandemic waves on hemodialysis patients and healthcare personnel

(1) Background: The impact of SARS-CoV-2 has been variable over the time course of the pandemic and in different populations. The aim was to analyze the impact of COVID-19 infection in a known population of hemodialysis (HD) patients and professionals in Spain at different times of the pandemic. (2) Methods: We conducted an observational, descriptive study with a follow-up from 3 March 2020 to 23 April 2022 (776 days), using in average of 414 professionals and 1381 patients from 18 HD units in Spain. The data from the positive PCR or the rapid antigen detection test (RADT) subject were analyzed and segmented into six periods (waves). (3) Results: Of 703 positive COVID-19 tests, 524 were HD patients (74.5%), and 179 were HD professionals (25.5%). Overall, 38% of staff and 43% of patients were affected. Differences were observed in regard to incidence (21% vs. 13%), mortality (3.5% vs. 0%), and symptomatology between the patients and professionals and throughout the pandemic. (4) Conclusions: COVID-19 severity varied during different pandemic waves, with a greater impact seen in the first wave. HD professionals and patients had similar infection rates, but patients had higher mortality rates. Community transmission was the primary route of infection.This research received was founded by Fundación Renal Íñigo Álvarez de Toledo (FRIAT).
