El acogimiento residencial en la Comunidad Valenciana: funcionamiento de los centros de menores

[ES] El presente trabajo toma como punto de partida el análisis del contenido y alcance material del concepto jurídico de acogimiento residencial de personas menores de edad. Esta institución jurídica se encarga de regular el régimen de protección de aquellos menores en situación de abandono o desamparo, así como su tutela en caso de que los poderes públicos la tengan encomendada. En particular, se abordará el estudio de la modalidad de acogimiento de menores en residencias o centros especializados, estudiando el funcionamiento y gestión de tales centros de menores atendiendo a la normativa reguladora de la Comunidad Valenciana.[EN] The present work takes as its starting point the analysis of the content and material scope of the legal concept of residential care for minors. This legal institution is responsible for regulating the protection regime for those minors in situations of abandonment or helplessness, as well as their guardianship in case the public authorities entrust it. In particular, the study of the modality of foster care for minors in residences or specialized centers will be addressed, studying the operation and management of such centers for minors in accordance with the regulations of the Valencian Community.[CA] La realització del treball preten donar a conéixer el contingut i abast del concepte jurídic d’acolliment residencial, on es demostra la protecció que ofereix el nostre sistema constitucional a partir de la obligació de les persones progenitores del cuidat de les filles o fills menors de edat i dels poder públics de que aquesta situación siga portada de forma íntegra. Una vegada comprés el concepte principal se procedirà a estudiar el funcionament i la gestió dels centres de menors atenent a la normativa reguladora de la Comunitat Valenciana.Garrote García, A.

Tele-Rehabilitation Versus Local Rehabilitation Therapies Assisted by Robotic Devices: A Pilot Study with Patients

The present study aims to evaluate the advantages of a master-slave robotic rehabilitation therapy in which the patient is assisted in real-time by a therapist. We have also explored if this type of strategy is applicable in a tele-rehabilitation environment. A pilot study has been carried out involving 10 patients who have performed a point-to-point rehabilitation exercise supported by three assistance modalities: fixed assistance (without therapist interaction), local therapist assistance, and remote therapist assistance in a simulated tele-rehabiliation scenario. The rehabilitation exercise will be performed using an upper-limb rehabilitation robotic device that assists the patients through force fields. The results suggest that the assistance provided by the therapist is better adapted to patient needs than fixed assistance mode. Therefore, it maximizes the patient’s level of effort, which is an important aspect to improve the rehabilitation outcomes. We have also seen that in a tele-rehabilitation environment it is more difficult to assess when to assist the patient than locally. However, the assistance suits patients better than the fixed assistance mode.This work was funded by the Conselleria d’Educacio, Cultura i Esport of Generalitat Valenciana by the European Social Fund—Investing in your Future, through the grant ACIF 2018/214, PEJ2018-002684-A and PEJ2018-002670-A, and by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the project PID2019-108310RB-I00

Development of an active exosketeton for forearm and wrist rehabilitation using a single actuator

[Resumen] Las previsiones más recientes determinan que el número de accidentes cerebrovasculares serán esenciales para acelerar la recuperación del paciente el empleo de nuevas terapias de rehabilitación asistidas por sistemas robóticos. Este artículo describe el diseño, desarrollo y control de un exoesqueleto ligero para el antebrazo y la muñeca utilizando un único actuador. Además, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio piloto con pacientes en el Hospital la Pedrera de Dénia con el objetivo de analizar la usabilidad del sistema, y los resultados se recogen en el presente estudio.[Abstract] Recent research states that the number of strokes will increase in the future. For this reason, it is paramount to introduce new rehabilitation therapies to accelerate the recovery of the patient. This article describes the design, development and control of a light exoskeleton for the forearm and wrist using a single actuator. Furthermore, a pilot study has been done with patients in La Pedrera Hospital in Denia to analyse the system’s usability. The results are presented in this study.Agència Valenciana de la Innovació; NNVAL10/19/065Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades; PEJ2018-002670-AMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades; PEJ2018-002684-AGeneralitat Valenciana.

4255. Adaptación y capacitación de un espacio reducido y simulación en misiones helicopter emergency medical service (hems) para la adquisición de competencias clínicas y habilidades no técnicas

La simulación clínica en el medio helitransportado sanitario es todo un reto por sus características especiales. Dentro de la simulación la parte más importante es el Debriefing llevado a cabo por un instructor entrenado tras la simulación de cada caso clínico. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo un espacio reducido simulando el interior de un helicóptero. Tras la simulación y el Debriefing se ha pasado una evaluación del mismo mediante la herramienta Dash-Student versión larga, obteniendo unos resultados positivos, demostrado que el Debriefing es una herramienta potente que favorece la reflexión en la toma de decisiones y actuaciones dentro del entrenamiento en las misiones aerotransportadas sanitarias

Marine Biodiversity of Eastern Tropical Pacific Coral Reefs

The eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) is an isolated oceanic region exposed to extreme oceanographic conditions, including low salinity, low pH, high temperatures during El Niño, and low temperatures during La Niña and seasonal upwelling. The coral reefs in this region have a relatively limited suite of species compared to other coral reef areas of the world, but much like more diverse reefs the species present interact in complex ways. Here we synthezise the knowledge of taxonomic groups of reef organisms from prokaryotes to vertebrates, including algae, sponges, cnidarians, annelids and other worms, molluscs, crustaceans, echinoderms and fishes. We also present summaries on the biodiversity of associated functional groups and habitats, including (a) reef zooplankton and cryptic fauna, and (b) soft benthic environments, rhodolith beds and mesophotic environments. Several factors that structure the biodiversity of ETP coral reefs are explored, including biological, physical and chemical controls. ETP coral reefs are relatively simple systems that can be used as models for studying biodiversity and interactions among species. We conclude this review by highlighting pressing research needs, from very basic inventories to more sophisticated studies of cryptic assemblages, and to investigations on the impacts of natural and anthropogenic effects on ETP coral reef biodiversity.National Geographic Society/[NGS 5831–96]//Estados UnidosFondo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología/[1130167]/FONDECYT/ChileUCR::Vicerrectoría de Investigación::Unidades de Investigación::Ciencias Básicas::Centro de Investigación en Ciencias del Mar y Limnología (CIMAR)UCR::Vicerrectoría de Docencia::Ciencias Básicas::Facultad de Ciencias::Escuela de Biologí

Formin Homology 2 Domain Containing 3 (FHOD3) Is a Genetic Basis for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

The genetic cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains unexplained in a substantial proportion of cases. Formin homology 2 domain containing 3 (FHOD3) may have a role in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy but has not been implicated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This study sought to investigate the relation between FHOD3 mutations and the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. FHOD3 was sequenced by massive parallel sequencing in 3,189 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy unrelated probands and 2,777 patients with no evidence of cardiomyopathy (disease control subjects). The authors evaluated protein-altering candidate variants in FHOD3 for cosegregation, clinical characteristics, and outcomes. The authors identified 94 candidate variants in 132 probands. The variants' frequencies were significantly higher in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (74 of 3,189 [2.32%]) than in disease control subjects (18 of 2,777 [0.65%]; p  FHOD3 is a novel disease gene in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, accounting for approximately 1% to 2% of cases. The phenotype and the rate of cardiovascular events are similar to those reported in unselected cohorts. The FHOD3 gene should be routinely included in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy genetic testing panels
