La candidiasis vaginal y su incidencia en embarazadas de 20 a 24 años
<p style="text-align: justify;">La Candidiasis en una enfermedad o infección producida por un hongo llamado “Cándida Albicans”. La Cándida al igual que otros microorganismos se encuentra habitualmente en la flora vaginal en pequeñas cantidades, cuando ocurre un cambio en la acidez normal de la vagina o un desequilibrio hormonal, (embarazo, uso de anticonceptivos orales, antibióticos, enfermedades endocrinas, entre otros) puede aumentar la cantidad de hongos y bacterias. La presente tesis se realizó en el Hospital Materno Infantil “Matilde Hidalgo de Procel” durante el periodo de Mayo 2014 a Febrero del 2015. El desarrollo del marco teórico se orientó en base a la investigación para obtener conceptos generales con la participación de autores, que a través de sus definiciones se puede conocer que la Candidiasis Vaginal es la segunda causa más común de las infecciones vaginales en el Ecuador, trayendo complicaciones que afectan el embarazo. La investigación fue de tipo prospectivo, descriptivo y analítico. El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar la Incidencia de Candidiasis Vaginal en mujeres embarazadas de 20 a 24 años atendidas en el Hospital Materno Infantil “Matilde Hidalgo de Procel “en el periodo de Mayo del 2014 a Febrero del 2015.</p></jats:p
Specific Learning Difficulty: Autism, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia and Dysgraphia
There are specific learning difficulties such as autism, dyscalculia, dyslexia and dysgraphia, the purpose of this article is to understand how these disorders affect verbal, non-verbal, logical and written communication in the social relationships of children who suffer from it. The qualitative methodology was applied in combination with the desk review technique, obtaining clear and pertinent criteria, an analysis of concepts was proposed on each of their meanings, characteristics and typology, suggestions of learning techniques are presented regarding the way correct to reduce disorders, the opinion of different authors who have carried out studies on the subject was obtained, interpreting from the pedagogical perspective and the importance of knowing the subject to act against these learning problems
Evaluation Process Associated with Multiple Intelligences in High School Students of the Ecuadorian Educational System
Formative assessment is ideal for improving teaching and learning processes. However, little is practiced systematically and a traditional approach still persists in many educational institutions that value the product rather than the process. The objective of this study is to determine the evaluative process associated with multiple intelligences in high school students from an Educational Unit in the city of Manta. Methodologically, this research project is of a mixed type with a qualitative-quantitative approach since it obtains real data that evaluates the results. To collect the information, information from primary sources will be used and will be carried out through a survey via Google to teachers and secondary information will be taken from accredited sources of virtual libraries, indexed magazines, and other academic Google publications. The results will be processed using statistical methods that will allow their analysis and interpretation. As a result of it, a set of formative evaluation activities underlying the pedagogical practice of the teacher was obtained, assessing the general process of formative evaluation of learning included in the teaching-learning processes. The process is useful for conducting a conscious and systematic formative assessment
Cholinergic modulation of neuroinflammation: Focus on α7 nicotinic receptor
All nervous system pathologies (e.g., neurodegenerative/demyelinating diseases and brain tumours) develop neuroinflammation, a beneficial process during pathological events, aimed at removing damaged cells, toxic agents, and/or pathogens. Unfortunately, excessive inflammation frequently occurs during nervous system disorders, becoming a detrimental event capable of enhancing neurons and myelinating glial cell impairment, rather than improving their survival and activity. Consequently, targeting the neuroinflammation could be relevant for reducing brain injury and rescuing neuronal and glial cell functions. Several studies have highlighted the role of acetylcholine and its receptors in the regulation of central and peripheral inflammation. In particular, α7 nicotinic receptor has been described as one of the main regulators of the “brain cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway”. Its expression in astrocytes and microglial cells and the ability to modulate anti-inflammatory cytokines make this receptor a new interesting therapeutic target for neuroinflammation regulation. In this review, we summarize the distribution and physiological functions of the α7 nicotinic receptor in glial cells (astrocytes and microglia) and its role in the modulation of neuroinflammation. Moreover, we explore how its altered expression and function contribute to the development of different neurological pathologies and exacerbate neuroinflammatory processes

POS0302 BURNOUT IN RHEUMATOLOGISTS IN LATIN AMERICA
Background:Rheumatology is considered a low-risk specialty, but studies have shown a prevalence of burnout between 42% to 51%1,2. Factors associated with it include the use of electronic medical records, administrative tasks and prolonged working hours. This has several repercussions such as higher prevalence of depression/anxiety and less productivity.Objectives:To determine the prevalence of burnout in rheumatologists in Latin America and the factors associated with it.Methods:Cross-sectional study based on a survey completed through Google Forms platform that was sent by the national rheumatology associations of Latin America. Burnout was assessed with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) with cut off values of ≥27 for emotional exhaustion (EE), ≥10 for depersonalization (DP), and ≤33 for personal accomplishment (PA). Other variables were studied such as demographics, working conditions, satisfaction, comorbidities, depression using PHQ-9 and happiness using the Subjective Happiness Scale. Data was analyzed using the statistical program SPSS v.22.Results:297 rheumatologists from 15 countries were included, mainly Argentina (28.3%), Brazil (26.3%) and Mexico (12.8%). The majority were women 62%, 42.4% worked in public hospitals with an average of 40.1 ± 14.2 hours per week. 31.3% did research, 13.1% clinical trials, 56.6% teaching, and 42.8% administrative work. 36% received an annual income less than 25K.56.6% had burnout in at least 1 dimension. According to the dimensions, 35.7% had burnout in EE, 25.6% in PA and 26.6% in DP. 32.3% had burnout in only 1 dimension, 17.2% in two and 7.1% in all three dimensions. Only 20.2% thought they had burnout, 9.1% were currently with professional help and 15.8% had sought help in the past. 72.1% said they were willing to participate in a program to reduce burnout.The rheumatologists with burnout were younger than those without burnout (46.5 vs 49.9 years, p = 0.015), mentioned more frequently that they would like to decrease the number of working hours (56.5% vs 36.4%, p = 0.002) and had lower practice satisfaction (5.2 vs 6.2, p <0.001) and income satisfaction (3.4 vs 4.6, p <0.001). Those with burnout were less happy than those without burnout (5.1 vs 5.9, p <0.001) and had higher PHQ-9 (7.7 vs 2.5, p <0.001). In the burnout group, there was a higher percentage with an income less than $ 25K/year (45.7% vs 25.4%, p=0.008), presence of comorbidities (53.6% vs 40.3%, p=0.023), anxiety (11.9 % vs. 2.3%, p=0.002), use of SSRIs/SNRIs (19% vs 8.5%, p=0.011), suicidal thoughts (13.6% vs 1.6%, p <0.001) and low self-esteem (12.5% vs 3.1%, p <0.001). There was a higher percentage of rheumatologists involved in teaching in the group without burnout (66.7% vs 48.8%, p = 0.002). No statistically significant associations were found between burnout and sex, exercise, alcohol consumption, duration of career, main workplace, type of clinical practice, duration of vacation, clinical research, clinical trials and administrative work.Conclusion:Burnout affects near half of rheumatologists in Latin America and was associated to younger age, long working hours, low satisfaction, less happiness, higher PHQ-9, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, income, presence of comorbidities and low self-esteem. Most of the rheumatologists were willing to participate in programs to reduce burnout which represents an opportunity for interventions to reduce this syndrome.References:[1]Martin K.
