Media coverage of climate change mitigation in the spanish press

This article analyzes how the Spanish press covers the mitigation of climate change. We have used the search engine MyNews to study in El País and El Mundo, the newspapers with the largest circulation in Spain during the years 2016 and 2017, the news that includes the words "mitigacion" o "reducción de emisiones", y "cambio climatico” o “calentamiento global" in the most circulation newspapers in Spain in 2016 and 2017: El País and El Mundo. To explain how mitigation is covered by the Spanish press, we have used a series of categories and variables. As a result, we find an important difference between the urgency expressed by the scientific community and the reduced presence of this topic in the Spanish press

The impact of type 2 immunity and allergic diseases in atherosclerosis.

Allergic diseases are allergen-induced immunological disorders characterized by the development of type 2 immunity and IgE responses. The prevalence of allergic diseases has been on the rise alike cardiovascular disease (CVD), which affects arteries of different organs such as the heart, the kidney and the brain. The underlying cause of CVD is often atherosclerosis, a disease distinguished by endothelial dysfunction, fibrofatty material accumulation in the intima of the artery wall, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and Th1 inflammation. The opposed T-cell identity of allergy and atherosclerosis implies an atheroprotective role for Th2 cells by counteracting Th1 responses. Yet, the clinical association between allergic disease and CVD argues against it. Within, we review different phases of allergic pathology, basic immunological mechanisms of atherosclerosis and the clinical association between allergic diseases (particularly asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and food allergy) and CVD. Then, we discuss putative atherogenic mechanisms of type 2 immunity and allergic inflammation including acute allergic reactions (IgE, IgG1, mast cells, macrophages and allergic mediators such as vasoactive components, growth factors and those derived from the complement, contact and coagulation systems) and late phase inflammation (Th2 cells, eosinophils, type 2 innate-like lymphoid cells, alarmins, IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-13 and IL-17).post-print4164 K

La comunicación de la mitigación del cambio climático en prensa española

This article analyzes how the Spanish press covers the mitigation of climate change.

A través del buscador My News se estudian los artículos que contienen los términos “mitigación” o “reducción de emisiones”, y “cambio climático” o “calentamiento global” en los diarios de mayor difusión en España en los años 2016 y 2017: El País y El Mundo. Una batería de categorías y variables permiten efectuar un análisis de contenido que desgrana cómo se comunica la mitigación en prensa española. Como conclusión se percibe una lejanía entre la dimensión de emergencia de la realidad mostrada por la comunidad científica y el limitado volumen e importancia otorgada por la cobertura mediática a la mitigación

Efecto Antimicrobiano del Extracto Acuoso de Cocos Nucifera (Coco) Sobre Staphylococcus Aureus y Escherichia Coli

La presente investigación de tipo transversal, enfoque cuantitativo y diseño experimental tuvo por objetivo evaluar el efecto antimicrobiano in vitro del extracto acuoso de Cocos nucifera (Coco) sobre cepas de Staphylococcus aureus y Escherichia coli. La muestra de estudio estuvo conformada por 360 unidades experimentales constituidas por 2 bacterias (S. aureus y E. coli), de las cuales se evaluaron 10 cepas diferentes de cada bacteria, sometidas a 6 concentraciones (100; 50; 25; 12,5; 6,25 y 3,13 mg/ml) del extracto acuoso de C. nucifera, con 3 repeticiones por cada interacción, un control positivo por cada cepa bacteriana (Cloranfenicol), control negativo (Solución salina) y control esterilidad (solo medio). Como resultado se obtuvieron que solo 3 cepas de S. aureus se inhibieron a concentraciones de 50 y 100 mg/ml del extracto. En tanto, que E. coli mostró resistencia al extracto de C. nucifera en las diferentes concentraciones evaluadas. Se concluyó que el extracto acuoso de C. nucifera no presenta efecto antimicrobiano sobre las cepas de S. aureus y E. coli estudiadas

Estudio paleoambiental de nuevos yacimientos de plantas y vertebrados de la “Unidad Intermedia” del Mioceno Medio de la cuenca de Madrid.

Se dan a conocer los vegetales fósiles (macrorrestos foliares, frutos y palinomorfos) y una asociación de microvertebrados encontrados en yacimientos descubiertos en la “Unidad Intermedia” del Mioceno de Madrid. Los restos paleobotánicos y palinológicos se encuentran en cinco yacimientos, mientras que los de microvertebrados aparecen en otro distinto, cercano a los anteriores y estratigráficamente por encima de éstos. En general la palinoflora identificada es bastante uniforme en todos los yacimientos; no así la macroflora que presenta peculiaridades en alguno de ellos. Los datos paleobotánicos ponen de manifiesto una vegetación muy diversa con géneros y especies característicos de medios montanos, abanicos aluviales, márgenes lacustre-palustres y lagunares. Los resultados del estudio de la macroflora y de los palinomorfos se representan y ubican en un perfil sintético y en un bloque diagrama esquemático. [ABSTRACT] Some palaeobotanical assemblages (spores, pollen, leaves, seeds and fruits) and microvertebrates found in the “Unidad intermedia” from middle Miocene deposits of the Madrid basin are studied. The fossil plants appear in five sites, and the vertebrate fossils in other site, near the formers, but stratigraphically above these. The palynological assemblages are quite similar in all the sites, but the macroremains associations present taphonomic peculiarities in some of them.The fossil plants identified show some elements of acuatic, flooded, riparian and of river banks environments with some deciduous and evergreen forest taxa. The palaeobotanical data are symbolized and ecologically located in a syntetic section and in a diagram. The different environments which had been delimited are represented. The vertebrate fossil assemblage is made of two taxa of Reptilia (one Lacertidae and one Anguidae), and, among the mammals, the Sciuridae Heteroxerus cf. rubricati, the Gliridae cf. Armantomys sp., the Cricetidae Megacricetodon collongensis - crusafonti, one Insectivora and some remains of Lagomorpha. From a biostratigraphical point of view, this faunal assemblage may corresponds to the Middle Miocene, to the Upper Aragonian, but not to latest among the Zones F, G1 and G2 (sensu Daams and Freudenthal, 1988a) that can be correlated with the NM 6 Unit (sensu Mein, 1975). This fauna suggests a mainly open environment and a relatively dry climate

Prevalence of chronic head, neck and low back pain and associated factors in women residing in the Autonomous Region of Madrid (Spain)

AbstractObjectiveTo compare the prevalence of chronic headache (CH), chronic neck pain (CNP) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) in the autonomous region of Madrid by analyzing gender differences and to determine the factors associated with each pain location in women in 2007.MethodsWe analyzed data obtained from adults aged 16 years or older (n = 12,190) who participated in the 2007 Madrid Regional Health Survey. This survey includes data from personal interviews conducted in a representative population residing in family dwellings in Madrid. The presence CH, CNP, and CLBP was analyzed. Sociodemographic features, self-perceived health status, lifestyle habits, psychological distress, drug consumption, use of healthcare services, the search for alternative solutions, and comorbid diseases were analyzed by using logistic regression models.ResultsThe prevalence of CH, CNP and CLBP was significantly higher (P<0.001) in women (7.3%, 8.4%, 14.1%, respectively) than in men (2.2%, 3.2%, 7.8%, respectively). In women, CH, CNP and CBLP were significantly associated with having ≥3 chronic diseases (OR 7.1, 8.5, 5.8, respectively), and with the use of analgesics and drugs for inflammation (OR: 3.5, 1.95, 2.5, respectively). In the bivariate analysis, the factors associated with pain in distinct body locations differed between men and women.ConclusionsThis study found that CH, CNP and CLBP are a major public health problem in women in central Spain. Women have a higher overall prevalence of chronic pain than men. Chronic pain was associated with a higher use of analgesics and healthcare services
