Spatial analysis of the exposure to flooding of educational centers in Orihuela, Alicante (Spain)

El municipio de Orihuela (Alicante, España) se sitúa en una de las zonas de riesgo de inundación más importantes de la península Ibérica (río Segura). El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los centros escolares expuestos a las inundaciones según el Plan de Acción Territorial frente al Riesgo de Inundación de la Comunidad Valenciana (PATRICOVA) y el Sistema Nacional de Cartografía de Zonas Inundables (SNCZI) mediante la cartografía catastral. Los resultados demuestran que 19 de 25 centros de Educación Primaria y 9 de 12 centros de Educación Secundaria están expuestos total o parcialmente. Si se analizan los accesos, el porcentaje de centros expuestos se incrementa, pues todos están afectados (n=31). En función de la etapa educativa y la gestión del centro, no existen diferencias. Como conclusión, con este trabajo se ha comprobado la elevada exposición de estas infraestructuras que, se consideran enclaves prioritarios para tener en cuenta en la toma de medidas de ordenación, adaptación y resiliencia socio-territorial a los escenarios presentes y futuros de cambio climático.The city of Orihuela (Alicante, Spain) is located in one of the most important flood risk areas of the Iberian peninsula (Segura river). The aim of this research is to identify the educational centres exposed to floods according to the Territorial Action Plan against Flood Risk of the Valencian Community (PATRICOVA) and the National Mapping System of Floodable Areas (SNCZI) with the cadastral cartography. The results show that 19 of 25 of Primary Education schools and 9 of 12 Highs schools are totally or partially exposed. This percentage increases if the accesses are analysed since all the centres (n=31) are exposed to floods. It has been verified that there are no differences according to the educational stages and the management of the centre. Given the high exposure of educational centres and the concentration of people, it is considered that they are one of the main areas that should be taken into account when proposing management, adaptation and social-territorial resilience measures to the current and future climate change scenarios

Aronia–citrus juice (polyphenol-rich juice) intake and elite triathlon training: a lipidomic approach using representative oxylipins in urine

In the present study, we examined whether particular urinary oxylipins (isoprostanes (IsoPs), leukotrienes (LTs), prostaglandins (PGs), and thromboxanes (TXs)) in 16 elite triathletes could alter during 145 days of training. Within this time span, 45 days were dedicated to examining the effects of the intake of a beverage rich in polyphenols (one serving: 200 mL per day) supplemented in their diet. The beverage was a mixture of citrus juice (95%) and Aronia melanocarpa juice (5%) (ACJ). Fifty-two oxylipins were analyzed in the urine.The quantification was carried out using solid-phase extraction, liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The physical activity decreased the excretion of some PG, IsoP, TX, and LT metabolites from arachidonic acid, γ-dihomo-linolenic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid. The ACJ also reduced the excretion of 2,3-dinor-11β-PGF2α and 11-dehydro-TXB2, although the levels of other metabolites increased after juice supplementation (PGE2, 15-keto-15-F2t-IsoP, 20-OH-PGE2, LTE4, and 15-epi-15-E2t-IsoP), compared to the placebo. The metabolites that increased in abundance have been related to vascular homeostasis and smooth muscle function, suggesting a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. In conclusion, exercise influences mainly the decrease in oxidative stress and the inflammation status in elite triathletes, while ACJ supplementation has a potential benefit regarding the cardiovascular system that is connected in a synergistic manner with elite physical activityThis study was supported by the Project AGL2011-23690 (CICYT) (Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness).

Referencias para la actividad docente en la UPCT y glosario de términos EEES

Continuando con el trabajo de los equipos docentes se ha realizado este libro en el curso 2011/2012 como resultado de la maduración de los dos años anteriores, en los que este equipo ha realizado el libro “Manual de elaboración de guías docentes adaptadas al EEES” en 2010, la participación en el I Congreso Internacional de Innovación Docente, en julio de 2011 y la realización de un capítulo del libro “Equipos docentes: una nueva apuesta en el EEES” en 2011. El reconocimiento de la calidad de las guías docentes realizadas por el profesorado de nuestra universidad, y enviadas a ANECA dentro del programa piloto MONITOR viene expresamente en el informe global de seguimiento recibido en noviembre de 2011 en el que textualmente comenta “Las guías docentes sólo se pueden calificar de excelentes”

Healthcare workers hospitalized due to COVID-19 have no higher risk of death than general population. Data from the Spanish SEMI-COVID-19 Registry

Aim To determine whether healthcare workers (HCW) hospitalized in Spain due to COVID-19 have a worse prognosis than non-healthcare workers (NHCW). Methods Observational cohort study based on the SEMI-COVID-19 Registry, a nationwide registry that collects sociodemographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment data on patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in Spain. Patients aged 20-65 years were selected. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to identify factors associated with mortality. Results As of 22 May 2020, 4393 patients were included, of whom 419 (9.5%) were HCW. Median (interquartile range) age of HCW was 52 (15) years and 62.4% were women. Prevalence of comorbidities and severe radiological findings upon admission were less frequent in HCW. There were no difference in need of respiratory support and admission to intensive care unit, but occurrence of sepsis and in-hospital mortality was lower in HCW (1.7% vs. 3.9%; p = 0.024 and 0.7% vs. 4.8%; p<0.001 respectively). Age, male sex and comorbidity, were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality and healthcare working with lower mortality (OR 0.211, 95%CI 0.067-0.667, p = 0.008). 30-days survival was higher in HCW (0.968 vs. 0.851 p<0.001). Conclusions Hospitalized COVID-19 HCW had fewer comorbidities and a better prognosis than NHCW. Our results suggest that professional exposure to COVID-19 in HCW does not carry more clinical severity nor mortality

Bleeding from gallbladder varices in a patient with an unknown liver cirrhosis. An exceptional entity.

Liver cirrhosis is a disease related to numerous severe complications such as portal hypertension or collateral circulation. Varices that are located outside the gastroesophageal region (ectopic varices) such as the anorectal region, colon, ileum or gallbladder are unusual. In many cases, they are related to the existence of portal vein thrombosis. We report the case of a patient with a severe hemorrhage of gallbladder varices due to alcohol-related cirrhosis
