    En este proyecto se ha conseguido modernizar, a través de las diferentes labores y actividades desarrolladas, las herramientas de aprendizaje a través del uso de medios en formato online que facilitan la comprensión y adquisición de conocimientos. Se ha logrado introducir un método alternativo a la enseñanza tradicional, basado en el aprendizaje online con apoyo de material fácilmente accesible en web, lo que da la oportunidad a los estudiantes, antiguos alumnos y profesorado de mejorar sus conocimientos, mantenerse actualizados y administrarse sus tiempos de trabajo y estudio. Las herramientas utilizadas han logrado incrementar el número de alumnos matriculados. Este curso académico 2016-2017, el título propio de Experto en Bases de la Fisioterapia y Rehabilitación Animal, cuenta con el mayor número de matriculaciones desde su inicio en 2012. Además, se ha incrementado el acceso de alumnos extranjeros comunitarios y extracomunitarios, lo que demuestra el alcance de las labores realizadas. Se ha logrado crear una herramienta que favorece la cooperación interdisciplinar en el intercambio de conocimientos entre los diferentes programas de formación de posgrado y entre las diferentes ediciones de los mismos. Se han creado herramientas que han facilitado el uso del inglés así como las interpelaciones de los alumnos entre si y con los diferentes profesores de la formación solventando las barreras geográficas y creando una comunidad formativa e interactiva de gran utilidad

    Get PDF
    Antecedentes: La prevalencia de Enfermedad Renal Crónica es superior al 20% en mayores 64 an~os y se asocia con importante morbimortalidad. En ellos el Tratamiento Renal Conservador es una opción legítima de tratamiento. En los últimos an~os la fragilidad se ha convertido en un campo de investigación en mayores y debe ser tenida en cuenta en pacientes ancianos con Enfermedad Renal. Objetivos: Determinar número de pacientes frágiles en Tratamiento Renal Conservador según Escala FRAIL. Determinar si la fragilidad se relaciona con la comorbilidad y la situación funcional. Material y Método: Seleccionamos en consulta de Enfermedad Renal Crónica Avanzada a pacientes mayores de 75 an~os orientados a Tratamiento Renal Conservador. Recogemos Criterios de Fragilidad de Fraid, índice de Comorbilidad de Charlson, Escala de Lawton y Brody, Evaluación para la capacidad de la marcha de FAC e índice de Barthel. Resultados: Se incluyen 80 pacientes 51,2% varones con edad media 84,7 ± 4 an~os y eFG 16,5 ml/min/1,73m2. El 51,2% cumplen criterios de fragilidad. No encontramos diferencias significativas en la escala Charlson entre los pacientes frágiles (8,61 ± 1,28) y no frágiles (8,39 ± 1,36) p= 0,55. La escala de Lawton y Brody y la escala FAC de la marcha se relacionaron con fragilidad (p = 0.001, p = 0.018 respectivamente). Conclusiones: El 51,2% de los pacientes Tratamiento Renal Conservador cumplen criterios de fragilidad por lo que consideramos esta escala válida como herramienta en la toma de decisiones. La fragilidad no se correlaciona con el índice de Charlson: la patología valorada por este test puede no ser sensible a la hora de estudiar esta situación clínica. Encontramos buena correlación con los test que valoran la situación funcional, tanto en la escala de actividades instrumentales de Lawton Brody (útil para detectar primeros grados de deterioro) y para la escala FAC de la marcha

    Derivation and external validation of the SIMPLICITY score as a simple immune-based risk score to predict infection in kidney transplant recipients

    Existing approaches for infection risk stratification in kidney transplant recipients are suboptimal. Here, we aimed to develop and validate a weighted score integrating non-pathogen-specific immune parameters and clinical variables to predict the occurrence of post-transplant infectious complications. To this end, we retrospectively analyzed a single-center derivation cohort of 410 patients undergoing kidney transplantation in 2008-2013 in Madrid. Peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations, serum immunoglobulin and complement levels were measured at one-month post-transplant. The primary and secondary outcomes were overall and bacterial infection through month six. A point score was derived from a logistic regression model and prospectively applied on a validation cohort of 522 patients undergoing kidney transplantation at 16 centers throughout Spain in 2014-2015. The SIMPLICITY score consisted of the following variables measured at month one after transplantation: C3 level, CD4+ T-cell count, CD8+ T-cell count, IgG level, glomerular filtration rate, recipient age, and infection within the first month. The discrimination capacity in the derivation and validation cohorts was good for overall (areas under the receiver operating curve of 0.774 and 0.730) and bacterial infection (0.767 and 0.734, respectively). The cumulative incidence of overall infection significantly increased across risk categories in the derivation (low-risk 13.7%; intermediate-risk, 35.9%; high-risk 77.6%) and validation datasets (10.2%, 28.9% and 50.4%, respectively). Thus, the SIMPLICITY score, based on easily available immune parameters, allows for stratification of kidney transplant recipients at month one according to their expected risk of subsequent infection

    Measurement of the polarisation of W bosons produced with large transverse momentum in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment

    Get PDF
    This paper describes an analysis of the angular distribution of W->enu and W->munu decays, using data from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 35 pb^-1. Using the decay lepton transverse momentum and the missing transverse energy, the W decay angular distribution projected onto the transverse plane is obtained and analysed in terms of helicity fractions f0, fL and fR over two ranges of W transverse momentum (ptw): 35 < ptw < 50 GeV and ptw > 50 GeV. Good agreement is found with theoretical predictions. For ptw > 50 GeV, the values of f0 and fL-fR, averaged over charge and lepton flavour, are measured to be : f0 = 0.127 +/- 0.030 +/- 0.108 and fL-fR = 0.252 +/- 0.017 +/- 0.030, where the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second include all systematic effects.Comment: 19 pages plus author list (34 pages total), 9 figures, 11 tables, revised author list, matches European Journal of Physics C versio

    Observation of a new chi_b state in radiative transitions to Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(2S) at ATLAS

    Get PDF
    The chi_b(nP) quarkonium states are produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb^-1, these states are reconstructed through their radiative decays to Upsilon(1S,2S) with Upsilon->mu+mu-. In addition to the mass peaks corresponding to the decay modes chi_b(1P,2P)->Upsilon(1S)gamma, a new structure centered at a mass of 10.530+/-0.005 (stat.)+/-0.009 (syst.) GeV is also observed, in both the Upsilon(1S)gamma and Upsilon(2S)gamma decay modes. This is interpreted as the chi_b(3P) system.Comment: 5 pages plus author list (18 pages total), 2 figures, 1 table, corrected author list, matches final version in Physical Review Letter

    Search for displaced vertices arising from decays of new heavy particles in 7 TeV pp collisions at ATLAS

    Get PDF
    We present the results of a search for new, heavy particles that decay at a significant distance from their production point into a final state containing charged hadrons in association with a high-momentum muon. The search is conducted in a pp-collision data sample with a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 33 pb^-1 collected in 2010 by the ATLAS detector operating at the Large Hadron Collider. Production of such particles is expected in various scenarios of physics beyond the standard model. We observe no signal and place limits on the production cross-section of supersymmetric particles in an R-parity-violating scenario as a function of the neutralino lifetime. Limits are presented for different squark and neutralino masses, enabling extension of the limits to a variety of other models.Comment: 8 pages plus author list (20 pages total), 8 figures, 1 table, final version to appear in Physics Letters

    Standalone vertex finding in the ATLAS muon spectrometer

    Get PDF
    A dedicated reconstruction algorithm to find decay vertices in the ATLAS muon spectrometer is presented. The algorithm searches the region just upstream of or inside the muon spectrometer volume for multi-particle vertices that originate from the decay of particles with long decay paths. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using both a sample of simulated Higgs boson events, in which the Higgs boson decays to long-lived neutral particles that in turn decay to bbar b final states, and pp collision data at √s = 7 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC during 2011

    Measurements of Higgs boson production and couplings in diboson final states with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

    Get PDF
    Measurements are presented of production properties and couplings of the recently discovered Higgs boson using the decays into boson pairs, H →γ γ, H → Z Z∗ →4l and H →W W∗ →lνlν. The results are based on the complete pp collision data sample recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at centre-of-mass energies of √s = 7 TeV and √s = 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 25 fb−1. Evidence for Higgs boson production through vector-boson fusion is reported. Results of combined fits probing Higgs boson couplings to fermions and bosons, as well as anomalous contributions to loop-induced production and decay modes, are presented. All measurements are consistent with expectations for the Standard Model Higgs boson
