    Foundation: using mobile phones in class does not constitute a general pedagogical practice. There is still no consensus on whether it is a distraction or if it benefits knowledge acquisition. Objective: to describe an experience mobile phone usage as a teaching and learning tool, from the perception of the students. Methods: pedagogical research conducted at the Cienfuegos University of Medical Sciences during the first semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. An application for cell phones was designed with all the resources of History of Cuba I students need. A survey was carried out to find out the expectations of the students, and at the end another was applied to assess compliance.Results: the highest expectations were based on the novelty of this method (78 opinions, 82.6%) and the ease for knowledge acquisition (71 expressions, 75.26%). The importance of technology was identified by 63 students. All considered that the application fulfilled its function and met their expectations regarding the ease of acquiring knowledge and as an appropriate method. Three students considered it as ordinary and one evaluated it poorly. Influence on motivation was evaluated by 96.2% as well. The students in whom the application was used, 78% obtained the highest mark compared to 73% in those who did not use it. Conclusion: the use of mobile phones in the teaching-learning process was favorable

    Una aproximación a la interdisciplinariedad desde la Filosofía

    En la bibliografía consultada se pone de manifiesto que la dimensión teórica de la interdisciplinariedad está más desarrollada que su dimensión práctica. Se comprende que desarrollar la interdisciplinariedad desde la práctica exige singularizar su proyección desde el colectivo de año y los colectivos de las disciplinas que integran un determinado plan de estudio. El colectivo de la disciplina Filosofía y Sociedad puso en práctica una aproximación interdisciplinaria desde la propia disciplina, aplicada en el primer año de la carrera de medicina, aprovechando las posibilidades que ofrece su contenido de amplia generalidad. Se exponen los resultados obtenidos y se ofrecen recomendaciones sobre el papel que puede jugar la Filosofía Marxista y Leninista para establecer una ruptura dialéctica con la presentación de contenidos por estancos, de manera fragmentada y en muchos casos descontextualizada de la realidad en que vive el estudiante. El trabajo tiene como objetivo exponer las posibilidades que ofrece la disciplina Filosofía y Sociedad para fortalecer la dimensión práctica de la interdisciplinariedad

    Con el objetivo de evaluar en diferentes sustratos en condiciones abióticas semicontroladas el rendimiento de la acción de larvas de dípteros saprófagos, sobre varios tipos de residuos: salvado de trigo, cerdaza, germen de maíz, cáscara de arroz, gallinaza, borra de café y cachaza, cinco experimentos fueron realizados con diferentes combinaciones de los mismos. Por la mañana y la tarde, fueron registradas las temperaturas dentro de los sustratos, y la temperatura ambiente máxima, mínima, media, y la humedad relativa. Las temperaturas y la humedad relativa en los sustratos siempre estuvieron por encima de la ambiental. La producción de proteínas, y por tanto la producción de larvas (la cantidad de larvas y no su peso), en la cáscara de arroz no se logró altos rendimientos y en la borra de café no hubo desarrollo de larvas. Los sustratos que produjeron mayor producción de larvas fueron las combinaciones de heces fecales de cerdo con salvado de trigo a los seis días (50%) y a los ocho días (20%), con 2869,11 g m2-1y 991,33 g m2-1, respectivamente. No se encontraron agentes patógenos (Salmonella spp. Escherichia coli y Coccidia spp) en los sustratos o larvas.With the aim to evaluate the performance of the action of saprophagous dipteran larvae on different substrates under semi-controlled abiotic conditions on various types of waste: wheat bran, pig manure, corn germ, rice husk, chicken manure, coffee grounds and filter cake, five experiments were carried out with different combinations of these. In the morning and afternoon, the temperatures inside the substrates were recorded, as well as the maximum, minimum, average and average ambient maximum, minimum, average and relative humidity were recorded. The temperatures and relative humidity in the substrates were always above the ambient temperature. Protein production, and therefore larval production (the number of larvae and not their weight), high yields were not achieved on rice husk and there was no larval development on coffee grounds. The substrates that produced the highest larval production were the combinations of pig manure with wheat bran at six days (50%) and at eight days (20%), with 2869.11 g m 2-1 and 991.33 g m 2-1, respectively. No pathogens (Salmonella spp. Escherichia coli and Coccidia spp) were not found on the substrates or larvae

    Monitoring of gluten-free diet compliance in celiac patients by assessment of gliadin 33-mer equivalent epitopes in feces123

    Get PDF
    Background: Certain immunotoxic peptides from gluten are resistant to gastrointestinal digestion and can interact with celiac-patient factors to trigger an immunologic response. A gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only effective treatment for celiac disease (CD), and its compliance should be monitored to avoid cumulative damage. However, practical methods to monitor diet compliance and to detect the origin of an outbreak of celiac clinical symptoms are not available

    This study compared the reliability and validity of different protocols evaluating the force-velocity (F-V) relationship and muscle power in older adults. Thirty-one older men and women (75.8 ± 4.7 years) underwent two F-V tests by collecting the mean and peak force and velocity data exerted against increasing loads until one repetition maximum (1RM) was achieved in the leg press exercise. Two attempts per load were performed, with a third attempt when F-V points deviated from the linear F-V regression equation. Then, the subjects performed 2 × 3 repetitions at 60 % 1RM to compare purely concentric and eccentric- concentric repetitions. The Short Physical Performance Battery was conducted to assess the validity of the different protocols. Significant differences were found in maximal power (Pmax) between mean and peak values and between protocols differing in the number of attempts per load (p < 0.01). Registering mean values, a third attempt, and multiple loads (>3), was significantly more reliable (Pmax: CV = 2.6 %; ICC = 0.99) than the other alternatives. Mean values were also observed to be more associated with physical function than peak values (R2 = 0.34 and 0.15, respectively; p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between concentric and eccentric-concentric repetitions. Thus, collecting mean force and velocity values against multiple loads, while monitoring the linearity of the F-V relationship, seemed to be the more adequate procedure to assess the F-V profile and muscle power in older adults

    Objective: To (1) determine the value of the recently proposed criteria of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disorder (NMOSD) that unify patients with NMO and those with limited forms (NMO/LF) with aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) antibodies; and (2) investigate the clinical significance of the serologic status in patients with NMO. Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter study of 181 patients fulfilling the 2006 NMO criteria (n = 127) or NMO/LF criteria with AQP4-IgG (n = 54). AQP4-IgG and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin G (MOG-IgG) antibodies were tested using cell-based assays. Results: Patients were mainly white (86%) and female (ratio 6.5:1) with median age at onset 39 years (range 10-77). Compared to patients with NMO and AQP4-IgG (n = 94), those with NMO/LF presentedmore often with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) (p<0.001), and had lower relapse rates (p = 0.015), but similar disability outcomes. Nonwhite ethnicity and optic neuritis presentation doubled the risk for developing NMO compared with white race (p = 0.008) or LETM presentation (p = 0.008). Nonwhite race (hazard ratio [HR] 4.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-13.6) and older age at onset were associated with worse outcome (for every 10-year increase, HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2.2). Patients with NMO and MOG-IgG (n = 9) had lower female: male ratio (0.8:1) and better disability outcome than AQP4-IgG-seropositive or double-seronegative patients (p<0.001). Conclusions: In patients with AQP4-IgG, the similar outcomes regardless of the clinical phenotype support the unified term NMOSD; nonwhite ethnicity and older age at onset are associated with worse outcome. Double-seronegative and AQP4-IgG-seropositive NMO have a similar clinical outcome. The better prognosis of patients with MOG-IgG and NMO suggests that phenotypic and serologic classification is useful
