Bridging the gap from research to practice for enhanced health-related quality of life in people with chronic kidney disease

From Crossref journal articles via Jisc Publications RouterHistory: issued 2021-04-01, epub 2021-05-06, ppub 2021-05-06Article version: VoRPublication status: PublishedPelagia Koufaki - ORCID: 0000-0002-1406-3729 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1406-3729Improving the health status of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) through physical activity (PA) or exercise interventions is challenging. One of the gaps in the process of translating the general public PA activity guidelines as well as the CKD-specific guidelines into routine clinical practice is the lack of systematic recording and monitoring of PA and physical function attributes, which can also be used to develop individualized and measurable plans of action to promote PA for health. We aim to present an overview of key considerations for PA, physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) evaluation in people with CKD, with the aim of encouraging health professionals to integrate assessment of these outcomes in routine practices. Physical inactivity and impaired physical function, sometimes to the extent of physical and social disability levels, and subsequently lower perceived HRQoL, are highly prevalent in this population. Enhanced PA is associated with better physical function that also translates into multiple health benefits. Breaking the vicious circle of inactivity and physical dysfunction as early as possible in the disease trajectory may confer huge benefits and enhanced life satisfaction in the longer term. With this in mind, the importance of PA/exercise interventions in CKD to improve HRQoL is also summarized.14pubpubSupplement_

High resolution imaging of NGC 2346 with GSAOI/GeMS: disentangling the planetary nebula molecular structure to understand its origin and evolution

We present high spatial resolution ($\approx$ 60--90 milliarcseconds) images of the molecular hydrogen emission in the Planetary Nebula (PN) NGC 2346. The data were acquired during the System Verification of the Gemini Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics System + Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager. At the distance of NGC 2346, 700 pc, the physical resolution corresponds to $\approx$ 56 AU, which is slightly higher than that an [N II] image of NGC 2346 obtained with HST/WFPC2. With this unprecedented resolution we were able to study in detail the structure of the H$_2$ gas within the nebula for the first time. We found it to be composed of knots and filaments, which at lower resolution had appeared to be a uniform torus of material. We explain how the formation of the clumps and filaments in this PN is consistent with a mechanism in which a central hot bubble of nebular gas surrounding the central star has been depressurized, and the thermal pressure of the photoionized region drives the fragmentation of the swept-up shell.Comment: accepted in ApJ (17 pages, 7 figures, 1 Table

Procesos de geocodificación en el ámbito sanitario. Una comparativa de resultados

Desde la Consejería de Salud se ha venido insistiendo, durante el proceso de redacción y desarrollo del Plan Cartográfico de Andalucía, sobre la importancia que adquieren los procesos de geocodificación para obtener información geográfica de calidad. La localización por dirección postal de eventos relacionados con la salud (usuarios y centros asistenciales del Sistema Sanitario Público de Andalucía y eventos relativos a la salud ambiental) supone una fuente de datos fundamental para el desarrollo de aplicaciones de Sistemas de Información Geográfica en el ámbito de la salud. El objetivo de la comunicación es presentar los resultados comparados obtenidos mediante procesos de geocodificación realizados hasta el momento con el Sistema de Información Geográfica de la Consejería de Salud, SIG Mercator, y los procesos de geocodificación realizados con las herramientas disponibles en el Sistema de Información Geográfica Corporativo de la Junta de Andalucía. Las herramientas de Tecnologías de la Información Geográfica (TIG) utilizadas son por un lado las herramientas de geocodificación implementadas en el software propietario ArcGis y por otro herramientas bajo software libre: el normalizador de direcciones desarrollado por el Instituto de Estadística de Andalucía ADYN y las herramientas de normalización y geocodificación implementadas en el SIG Corporativo de la Junta de Andalucía.The significance of geocoding processes in order to obtain high quality geographical data has been stressed by Regional Government of Andalusia’s Ministry of Health throughout the drafting and development process of the Andalusian Mapping Plan. The location by postal address, of health-related events (users and healthcare centres from the Andalusian Public Health System and environmental-related events), is a crucial data source for the development of implementations of Geographical Information Systems in the health field. The aim of this paper is to carry out a comparative analysis between geocoding processes carried out to date using the Geographical Information System of the Regional Ministry of Health, GIS Mercator, and the geocoding processes carried out using the available tools of the Corporate Geographical Information System of the Regional Government of Andalusia.The GIS Mercator tools of Geographical Information Technologies (GIT) used are, on the one hand, the geocoding tools implemented in the proprietary ArcGis software, and on the other, free software tools: addresses standardization developed by the Andalusian Statistical Institute ADYN and the geocoding tools implemented in the Corporate GIS of the Regional Government of Andalusia

Feminicidio

Uno de los problemas más álgidos que preocupa a nuestra Sociedad Peruana, son los altos índices de criminalidad que según los datos estadísticos del Instituto Nacional Penitenciario ocupa el primer lugar los delitos patrimoniales, específicamente los robos agravados. Sin embargo los delitos contra la vida, el cuerpo y la salud si bien es cierto no son muy significativos, pero no deja de preocuparnos en forma específica el llamado delito de feminicidio, que se aprecia a Nivel Nacional. Por otro lado en nuestra localidad de Chimbote se viene también cometiendo este ilícito penal, que se merece todo el reproche tanto moral, como penal. En torno a la justificación lo considero relevante, en la medida que tanto la sociedad civil, como los operadores del derecho deben cumplir su verdadero rol que le asignan las leyes, en su tarea evitadora de la proliferación de conductas delictivas. Se concluye que es una preocupación para nuestra localidad y sobre todo para la familia que se siga cometiendo estos ilícitos. Considero que se debe recurrir de otra parte a los mecanismos del control social informal. Se recomienda fortalecer aún más los valores dentro de la sociedad, y el seno familiar y las autoridades judiciales hacer cumplir la ley en forma adecuada y pertinente, garantizando la seguridad jurídica.Trabajo de Suficiencia Profesiona

Impact of measurement timing on reproducibility of testing among haemodialysis patients

Hemodiàlisis; Exercici físic; Test d'activitat físicaHemodiálisis; Ejercicio físico; Test de actividades funcionalesHemodialysis; Exercise; Functional activity testAccurate evaluation of physical function in patients undergoing haemodialysis is crucial in the analysis of the impact of exercise programs in this population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of several physical functional tests, depending on the timing of their implementation (before the HD session vs. non-HD days). This is a prospective, non-experimental, descriptive study. Thirty patients in haemodialysis were evaluated twice, 1 week apart. The test session was performed before the haemodialysis session started and a retest was performed in non-dialysis day. The testing battery included the short physical performance battery, sit-to-stand tests, 6 min walk test, one-leg stand test, timed up and go, and handgrip strength with and without forearm support. The intra-rater reproducibility was determined by the intraclass correlation coefficients and the agreement was assessed by Bland-Altman analysis. The intraclass correlation coefficients values ranged from 0.86 to 0.96, so that all tests showed good to very good relative reliability. The mean differences between trials of sit to stand 10 and 60, timed up and go and all the handgrip tests were close to zero, indicating no systematic differences between trials. Large range of values between trials was observed for the 6 min walk test, gait speed, one-leg stand test and short physical performance battery, indicating a systematic bias for these four tests. In conclusion, the sit to stand 10 and 60, timed up and go and handgrip tests had good to excellent test-retest reliability in measuring physical function in different dialysis days of patients undertaking haemodialysis. The minimal detectable change values are provided for this population. Bias were found for the 6 min walk test, gait speed, Short physical performance battery or one-leg stand test when the testing day changed

Fruit yield and quality response of a late season peach orchard to different irrigation regimes in a semi-arid environment

Some degree of deficit irrigation is normally applied to orchards in semi-arid environments in order to reduce unwanted vegetative growth and to increase water productivity. In this study the effect of three irrigation treatments on the yield and quality of the fruit production was evaluated during five consecutive years (2008–2012) in a commercial drip irrigated late season peach (Prunus persica (L). Batsch cv ́Calricó) orchard. Irrigation treatments consisted in a full irrigation (FULL) with irrigation applications covering the crop water requirements, a sustained deficit irrigation during the whole irrigation season (SDI) with irrigation applications of 62.5% of the FULL treatment and a regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) with a reduction of water applied to 50% of the FULL treatment in the stone hardening period. The differential irrigation treatments created negligible differences in the stem water potential of the trees. Results showed that fruit production was only significantly higher in the FULL treatment than in the other two treatments in 2008 but in the rest of the years no significant differences were found between treatments. The average fruit weight was significantly smaller in the SDI treatment than in the FULL and RDI treatments. Firmness of the fruits in the SDI treatment was significantly lower than that of the FULL and RDI treatments and the total soluble solids of the SDI was significantly higher than the FULL and RDI treatments. Color parameters of the fruit skin and flesh were also affected by the irrigation treatments. The higher values of the soluble solids content (SSC) and the relation SSC/TA (total acidity) and the slight decrease in fruit diameter found in the SDI treatment suggest that irrigation water saving can be achieved without affecting the commercial profitability in the semi-arid conditions of the Lower Ebro Valley in Northeast of Spain.Peer ReviewedPublishe

La comunidad SIG- MERCATOR de la Consejería de Salud

La Web 2.0 ha supuesto un cambio importante en Internet al pasar el usuario de mero consumidor de contenidos a generarlos en un espacio de colaboración e intercambio. En el seno de una organización, el conocimiento corporativo producido debe estar disponible en cualquier momento, por cualquier empleado y desde cualquier parte. El Entorno Colaborativo de Trabajo (ECT) de la Consejería de Salud proporciona herramientas de trabajo diario e incorpora elementos de la Web 2.0. El ECT está basado en el sistema de gestión de portales Liferay, con arquitectura web J2EE multiplataforma, y portlets JSR 168. Ofrece servicios de acceso a información (noticias, anuncios, documentación, directorios etc), comunicación, colaboración y participación activa (foros, chat, wikis, blogs, encuestas, etc) y herramientas operativas (gestión de reuniones, agendas, acceso a sistemas de información, etc.) La base organizativa son las comunidades. Una de ellas es la comunidad SIG-Mercator compuesta actualmente por 23 usuarios de la propia Consejería y de otros organismos, con un interés común sobre Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) y que comparten un espacio con información y herramientas de colaboración propias. Los objetivos de esta comunidad son gestionar el conocimiento y fomentar debates con herramientas como el blog y los foros, compartir documentación y elaborar de forma colaborativa mediante wikis documentos de referencia, y difundir las actividades del Plan Cartográfico así como las novedades sobre aspectos tecnológicos de los SIG. Un factor clave en la comunidad son las sesiones presenciales, con periodicidad mensual, además de las propias actividades virtuales.ABSTRACT The Website 2.0 represents a dramatic change in internet. The user has became a content provider and not just a consumer. Within an organisation, the corporate knowledge produced should be available at any time, for any employee and from any part. The Collaborative Work Environment (CWE) of the Regional Ministry of Health provides with tools for the daily work and adds some elements of the Website 2.0. CWE is based on Liferay, with multi-platform J2EE website architecture and portlets JSR 168. It offers services of access to information (news, announcements, documentation, directories, etc.), active communication, cooperation and involvement (forums, chat, wikis, blogs, surveys …) and operational tools (meetings management, agendas, access to information systems, etc.) Communities are the organizational base. One of them is the community GIS-Mercator, composed currently by 23 users from the Regional Ministry of Health and other organisations, with a shared interest on GIS and sharing information and collaboration tools. The aims of this community are to manage the knowledge and to promote discussions with tools as forums and blogs, to share documentation and to elaborate reference documents in a collaborative way via wikis, and to disseminate the activities of the Mapping Plan so as the news on technological aspects of the GIS. In addition to the own virtual activities, the monthly face-to-face meetings are a key factor in the community
