    Tras tanta polémica entre "letras" y "ciencias" sobre cuál de los dos es mejor o más difícil, se ha pretendido comprobar si existe algún tipo de diferencia entre ambas especialidades en cuanto a motivación, satisfacción o rendimiento; y a su vez, si existe algún tipo de relación entre estos tres constructos. Por lo tanto, participaron en el estudio una muestra de 120 alumnos de ambas ramas, obteniendo seis carreras diferentes con 20 alumnos en cada una. Los resultados no dieron ningún valor significativo en cuanto a diferencias entre ambas especialidades, pero sí una correlación entre motivación y satisfacción.After so much controversy between "Humanities" and "Sciences" about which one is better or harder, we'd like to test if there are any differences between both specialties in terms of motivation, satisfaction and academic achievement; and at the same time, if there is some kind of relationship between these three constructs. Thus, participated a sample of 120 students of those two special i ties, from six different degrees, pi cking 20 st udents from each one . Results didn't provide any significant difference between both specialties, but did provide a correlation between motivation and satisfaction.ReiDoCrea. Departamento de Psicología Social.

    Pancreatic surgery outcomes: multicentre prospective snapshot study in 67 countries

    Background: Pancreatic surgery remains associated with high morbidity rates. Although postoperative mortality appears to have improved with specialization, the outcomes reported in the literature reflect the activity of highly specialized centres. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes following pancreatic surgery worldwide.Methods: This was an international, prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional snapshot study of consecutive patients undergoing pancreatic operations worldwide in a 3-month interval in 2021. The primary outcome was postoperative mortality within 90 days of surgery. Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore relationships with Human Development Index (HDI) and other parameters.Results: A total of 4223 patients from 67 countries were analysed. A complication of any severity was detected in 68.7 percent of patients (2901 of 4223). Major complication rates (Clavien-Dindo grade at least IIIa) were 24, 18, and 27 percent, and mortality rates were 10, 5, and 5 per cent in low-to-middle-, high-, and very high-HDI countries respectively. The 90-day postoperative mortality rate was 5.4 per cent (229 of 4223) overall, but was significantly higher in the low-to-middle-HDI group (adjusted OR 2.88, 95 per cent c.i. 1.80 to 4.48). The overall failure-to-rescue rate was 21 percent; however, it was 41 per cent in low-to-middle-compared with 19 per cent in very high-HDI countries.Conclusion: Excess mortality in low-to-middle-HDI countries could be attributable to failure to rescue of patients from severe complications. The authors call for a collaborative response from international and regional associations of pancreatic surgeons to address management related to death from postoperative complications to tackle the global disparities in the outcomes of pancreatic surgery (NCT04652271; ISRCTN95140761)
