Ankle-brachial index in HIV infection

Prognosis for patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has improved with the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Evidence over recent years suggests that the incidence of cardiovascular disease is increasing in HIV patients. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a cheap and easy test that has been validated in the general population. Abnormal ABI values are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. To date, six series of ABI values in persons with HIV have been published, but none was a prospective study. No agreement exists concerning the risk factors for an abnormal ABI, though its prevalence is clearly higher in these patients than in the general population. Whether this higher prevalence of an abnormal ABI is associated with a higher incidence of vascular events remains to be determined

Mujer senegalesa con diagnóstico de VIH durante la gestación

We present the case of a 23 years old woman from Senegal with a 26 weeks pregnancy. Recently arrived in the country without medical follow-up of her pregnancy. She consults due to the presence of an ulceration in the external genitalia that had appear recently. During the evolution of the disease, it is diagnosed with primary syphilis and HIV infection. We review the most important characteristics to be known in these pathologies in relation to pregnancy, such as their clinical management, antiretroviral treatment and the management with the newborn.Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 23 años procedente de Senegal gestante de 26 semanas. Llegada recientemente al país sin realizar seguimiento médico de su embarazo. Consulta por una ulceración en los genitales externos de reciente aparición. Durante la evolución, se diagnostica de sífilis primaria e infección por VIH. Se repasan las características más importantes a tener en cuenta en estas patologías en relación con el embarazo, como son el manejo clínico de las mismas, el tratamiento antirretroviral y el manejo del neonato

Shiga toxin-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> in beef retail markets from Argentina

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are foodborne pathogens that cause mild or serious diseases and can lead to people death. This study reports the prevalence and characteristics of STEC O157 and non-O157 in commercial ground beef and environmental samples, including meat table, knife, meat mincing machine, and manipulator hands (n = 450) obtained from 90 retail markets over a nine-month period. The STEC isolates were serotyped and virulence genes as stx (Shiga toxin), rfbO157] (O157 lipopolysaccharide), fliCH7 (H7 flagellin), eae (intimin), ehxA (enterohemolysin) and saa (STEC autoagglutinating adhesin), were determined. STEC O157 were identified in 23 (25.5%) beef samples and 16 (4.4%) environmental samples, while STEC non-O157 were present in 47 (52.2%) and 182 (50.5%), respectively. Among 54 strains isolated, 17 were STEC O157:H7 and 37 were STEC non-O157. The prevalent genotype for O157 was stx2/eae/ehxA/fliCH7 (83.4%), and for STEC non-O157 the most frequent ones were stx1/stx2/saa/ehxA (29.7%); stx2 (29.7%); and stx2/saa/ehxA (27%). None of the STEC non-O157 strains were eae-positive. Besides O157:H7, other 20 different serotypes were identified, being O8:H19, O178:H19, and O174:H28 the prevalent. Strains belonging to the same serotype could be isolated from different sources of the same retail market. Also, the same serotype could be detected in different stores. In conclusion, screening techniques are increasingly sensitive, but the isolation of STEC non-O157 is still a challenge. Moreover, with the results obtained from the present work, although more studies are needed, cross-contamination between meat and the environment could be suspected.Instituto de Genética Veterinari

Experiencia de coordinación docente con entornos virtuales en el Grado en Administración y Dirección de Empresas en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de Talavera de la Reina.

Los entornos virtuales de enseñanza-aprendizaje (EVEAs) son una herramienta valiosa para el aprendizaje, aunque su utilidad puede ir mucho más allá. En esta ocasión, se ha utilizado la plataforma Moodle para diseñar de manera colaborativa el 1º curso de Grado en ADE dentro de un proyecto de innovación realizado por el grupo docente ADE-Talavera. Este artículo pretende dar a conocer el proceso de coordinación y cooperación en línea que ha posibilitado alcanzar los objetivos planificados: elaboración de guías docentes, planificación de actividades de aprendizaje y evaluación y elaboración de un cronograma integrado para el estudiante. Además, ha propiciado el desarrollo de nuevas competencias en los profesores y ha permitido el acompañamiento y la retroalimentación en tiempo real.The VETLs are a valuable learning tool, but its usefulness goes further. For this occasion we ha ve worked with Moodle platform to design in a collaborative way the first course of the Degree in Business Administration and Management. As a part of an innovation project developed by the teaching group ADE Talavera. This paper aims to divulgare the online coordination and cooperation process that has made possible to reach planned goals: Preparing teaching guides, planning learning and assessment activities, and design of an integrated student's chronogram. Additionally has been pushed the development of new competences in teachers and has allowed the monitoring and live feedback
