Prevalencia de Ansiedad y Depresión por COVID-19 en el Personal de Enfermería

Introducción. El personal de enfermería que labora en el segundo nivel de atención hospitalaria enfrenta a diario situaciones que pueden afectar su salud mental, que derivan en padecimientos como depresión y ansiedad. Algunos de los factores que incrementa la incidencia de estos son: el aumento de casos de COVID-19, poca certeza en la información sobre el tratamiento y cuidados de esta enfermedad, la saturación de los servicios sanitarios, escasez de insumos, falta de personal asistencial, jornadas laborales largas, y la tasa de mortalidad de la población. Objetivo. Medir la prevalencia de ansiedad y depresión por COVID-19 en el personal de enfermería, de un hospital de segundo nivel de atención del estado de Querétaro para obtener información que permita, posteriormente, crear estrategias para la atención del personal de enfermería. Metodología. Se realizó un estudio de enfoque cuantitativo, de nivel descriptivo y corte transversal. Mediante un muestreo estadístico por fórmula se definió la muestra de 72 integrantes del personal de enfermería; en la recolección de datos se utilizó la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión de Goldberg (EADG) con 18 ítems con respuesta de tipo dicotómica. Fueron considerados los principios bioéticos y se solicitó a los participantes que aceptaron, la firma de la carta de consentimiento informado. En el análisis de la información se utilizó estadística descriptiva mediante promedios. Resultados. La media de la edad fue de 33.67 años y en cuanto a la prevalencia de ansiedad, se encuentra presente en el 62% de la muestra y con respecto a la variable depresión, no existe la presencia de esta; sin embargo, existe un riesgo del 20% de la muestra a tener síntomas de depresión, entre los cuales se identificaron: dificultad para concentrarse, pérdida de apetito, sentirse aletargado y despertar demasiado temprano. Conclusiones. Abordar la salud mental en el personal de enfermería es de sumo interés, dado que la presencia de estos padecimientos puede afectar desde la salud del trabajador, hasta la atención y el cuidado que se les brinda a los pacientes.   Introduction. Nursing staff working in the second level of hospital care face daily situations that can affect their mental health, leading to conditions such as depression and anxiety. Some of the factors that increase the incidence of these are: the increase in cases of COVID-19, little certainty in the information on the treatment and care of this disease, the saturation of health services, shortage of supplies, lack of assistance personnel, long working hours, and the mortality rate of the population. Objective. To measure the prevalence of anxiety and depression due to COVID-19 in the nursing staff of a second-level care hospital in the state of Querétaro, in order to obtain information that allows, subsequently, to create strategies for the care of nursing staff. Methodology. A study of quantitative approach, descriptive level and cross section was carried out. A statistical sampling by formula defined the sample of 45 members of the nursing staff; Data collection was used by Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale (EADG) with 18 items with dichotomous response. Bioethical principles were considered and participants were asked to accept the signing of the informed consent letter. Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of information by means of averages. Results. The mean age was 33.67 years and in terms of the prevalence of anxiety, is present in 62% of the sample and with respect to the variable depression, there is no presence of this; however, there is a risk of 20% of the sample to have symptoms of depression, among which were identified: difficulty concentrating, loss of appetite, feeling elongated and waking up too early. Conclusions. Addressing mental health in nursing staff is of great interest, as the presence of these conditions can affect from the health of the worker to the care and care provided to patients

Improved iodine status is associated with improved mental performance of schoolchildren in Benin.

Background: An adequate iodine supply in utero and shortly after birth is known to be crucial to an individual's physical and mental development. The question of whether iodine supplementation later in life can exert a favorable influence on the mental performance of iodine-deficient populations was addressed in various studies, but with contradictory results. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of an improvement in iodine status on mental and psychomotor performance of schoolchildren (7-11 y) who were moderately to severely iodine deficient. Design: The study, which was originally planned as a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled intervention, was carried out in an iodine-deficient population of schoolchildren (n = 196) in northern Benin. As the population began to have access to iodized salt during the 1-y intervention period, the study population was split post hoc - on the basis of urinary iodine concentrations - into a group with improved iodine status and a group with unchanged iodine status. Changes in mental and psychomotor performance over the intervention period were compared. Results: Children with increased urinary iodine concentrations had a significantly greater increase in performance on the combination of mental tests than did the group with no change in urinary iodine concentrations. Conclusions: An improvement in iodine status, rather than iodine status itself, determined mental performance in this population, which was initially iodine deficient. These findings suggest a 'catch-up' effect in terms of mental performance

Transfer vs. Breakup in the interaction of the 7Be Radioactive Ion Beam with a 58Ni target at Coulomb barrier energies

We measured for the first time 7Be elastically scattered nuclei as well as 3,4He reaction products from a 58Ni target at 22.3 MeV beam energy. The data were analyzed within the optical model formalism to extract the total reaction cross section. Extensive kinematical, Distorted Wave Born Approximation (DWBA)and Continuum Discretized Coupled Channel (CDCC) calculations were performed to investigate the 3,4He originating mechanisms and the interplay between different reaction channels

Choline Content of Mothers' Milk in Ecuador and Boston

To the Editor: We have found that the free choline concentration of human milk varies during postnatal development and is sometimes markedly depressed in samples from women thought to be ingesting a choline-deficient diet. Choline is a precursor in the biosyntheses of phospholipids1 and of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.2,3 In animals, ingestion of a diet deficient in choline results in hepatic, renal, growth, and memory disorders.4 Neonates must ingest choline-containing foods like milk in order to maintain blood choline concentrations at high levels5; these levels may be needed to supply adequate choline to rapidly growing tissues
