Insuficiencia renal aguda (IRA) en unidades de cuidados intensivos

La Injuria Renal Aguda es reconocida por su impacto en la evolución de los pacientes admitidos en Unidades de cuidados Intensivos. La amplia variedad de definiciones utilizadas en los diversos estudios es responsable de las diferencias en los reportes de incidencia y de Mortalidad asociada.Facultad de Ciencias Médica

Detección y seguimiento de insuficiencia renal en población hospitalaria

La insuficiencia renal (IR) presenta una elevada prevalencia en la población general (10%). La detección temprana es necesaria para su mejor control evolutivo; incluso en pacientes asintomáticos. Se propuso detectar a lo largo de un año la tasa de incidencia de falla renal en pacientes internados.Facultad de Ciencias Médica

Evaluation of Antioxidant Activity, Phytochemicals and ESR Analysis of Lavandula Stoechas

The antioxidant activity of phytochemicals and of the methanolic extract of Lavandula stoechas was evaluated by β-carotene-linoleate bleaching, DPPH radical scavenging, ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP). The obtained results were compared with antioxidant activities of synthetic antioxidants, such as BHT and BHA. The highest antioxidant activity of the extract was observed by DPPH radical scavenging assay, which was 84.45±5.1% at 1 mg ml¯¹. Rutin, rosmarinic acid, and caffeic acid were main phenolics in the extract. The total phenolic content of the methanolic extract of Lavandula stoechas was found to be 105.5±2.7 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE). Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements were also performed on the samples. Free radicals were determined by ESR method. g value was found to be 2.0034 for the Lavandula stoechas; 2.0052 for quercetin

Subtyping treatment-seeking gaming disorder patients.

Gaming Disorder (GD) is characterized by a pattern of persistent and uncontrolled gaming behavior that causes a marked impairment in important areas of functioning. The evolution of the worldwide incidence of this disorder warrants further studies focused on examining the existence of different subtypes within clinical samples, in order to tailor treatment. This study explored the existence of different profiles of patients seeking treatment for GD through a data-driven approach. The sample included n = 107 patients receiving treatment for GD (92% men and 8% women) ranging between 14 and 60 years old (mean age = 24.1, SD = 10). A two-step clustering analysis approach explored the existence of different underlying GD profiles based on a broad set of indicators, including sociodemographic features, clinical course of the condition (e.g., onset or evolution), psychopathological symptoms, and personality traits. Two GD profiles emerged. The first cluster grouped together patients who presented with a lower psychological impact (n = 72, 66.1%), whereas the second cluster comprised patients with a higher psychological impact (n = 35, 32.7%). Cluster comparisons revealed that those patients presenting the higher impact were older, with a later onset of pathological gaming patterns, and more pronounced psychopathological symptoms and dysfunctional personality profiles. GD severity is influenced by specific demographic, clinical, and psychopathological factors. The identification of two separate profiles provides empirical evidence that contributes to the conceptualization of this disorder, as well as to the development of reliable and valid screening tools and effective intervention plans focused on the precise characteristics of the treatment-seeking patients
