The Work of the Clergy and the Religious Persecution in Mexico

Opening paragraphs: Perhaps the principal argument employed by the reactionary party of Mexico before the government and in the press of the United States to attack and lower the prestige of the Constitutionalist Revolution, is the one which relates to the religious question. Constitutionalism, especially since the rupture between the Convention party and Mr. Carranza -- has been presented by its enemies before the American people, as an implacable, and systematic persecutor of religion in all its forms and manifestations; as the vandalic destroyer of temples and images; as the insatiable and cruel executioner of timid and innocent priests; in one word, as an atheist and implanter and propagator of atheism in Mexico. They have even tried to demonstrate that this and several other dissolvent theories constitute the fundamental basis and the reason for existence of the constitutionalist policy, at least in that part which refers to the internal government of the Republic.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1103/thumbnail.jp

Planeación estratégica y la reorganización de Cáritas Nacional de Costa Rica

Proyecto de Graduación (Maestría en Administración de Empresas) Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, Escuela de Administración de Empresas, 2002.Cáritas Nacional de Costa Rica es una institución de la Iglesia Católica, que se dedica a promover proyectos de acción social a la luz de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia. Tiene a su cargo la coordinación de las siete Cáritas Diocesanas. Su función se ha desvirtuado, debido a que se dedicó a ejecutar proyectos y se descentralizaron sus funciones. Por otra parte, debido a los altos índices de desarrollo humano que presenta el país, se ha dejado de ser sujeto de ayuda internacional. Este trabajo plantea una reestructuración y un plan estratégico de sus funciones, de acuerdo a la metodología de planificación estratégica de Michael Porter, y mediante el análisis FODA. Se proponen cambios administrativos para que la institución se convierta en un ente rector de la política social de la Iglesia, y utilice una metodología estandarizada de formulación y evaluación de proyectos sociales. Se sugiere también una estrategia financiera a través del Fund-Raising.Proyecto de Graduación (Maestría en Administración de Empresas) Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica.

Prostate cancer and new screening methods

El cáncer de próstata es uno de los más prevalentes a nivel mundial y afecta gran cantidad de hombres en el mundo. Existen métodos de tamizaje los cuáles están dedicados a realizar una detección más precoz y así disminuir la mortalidad, durante el transcurso de los años se ha intentado crear nuevos métodos de tamizaje, pero los más prevalentes y funcionales continúan siendo el tacto rectal y el antígeno prostático específico, aunque claro todos tienen sus desventajas y esto es lo que se ha intentado mejorar. En muchas ocasiones el paciente no presenta síntomas hasta que es muy tarde por lo que es importante reconocerlos a tiempo. Existen distintos métodos de tratamiento que dependen si tenemos un cáncer localizado o ya con metástasis.Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent in the world and affects many men. There are screening methods which are dedicated to carrying out earlier detection and thus reducing mortality, over the years an attempt has been made to create new screening methods, but the most prevalent and functional ones continue to be the digital rectal examination and the prostate specific antigen. Although of course all have their disadvantages, and this is what has been tried to improve. In many cases, the patient does not present symptoms until it is very late, so it is important to recognize them in time. There are different treatment methods that depend on whether we have localized cancer or already metastasized

El efecto psicológico de la COVID-19 en el personal de salud

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought with it a series of effects in different social sectors, both economic, social and, of course, health. However, health personnel have been psychologically affected after constant exposure to this disease, long working hours and the physical and mental deterioration that fighting in the first line of defense entails. Among the factors that contribute to the development of anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, among others, are the age factor, the social context and interpersonal relationships, the lack of training, the level of exposure to infected patients, among others. All these factors and their repercussions on the health of health workers are a problem that should not go unnoticed, this by virtue of safeguarding the well-being of those who are in the first line of defense against COVID-19.La pandemia por la COVID-19 ha traído consigo una serie de afectaciones en diferentes sectores sociales, tanto económicos, sociales y evidentemente, de salud. Sin embargo, el personal de salud se ha visto afectado psicológicamente tras la constante exposición a esta enfermedad, prolongadas jornadas laborales y el deterioro tanto físico como mental que la lucha en la primera línea de defensa conlleva. Entre los factores que contribuyen al desarrollo de trastornos de ansiedad, depresión, insomnio entre otros, se encuentran el factor etario, el contexto social y relaciones interpersonales, la falta de capacitación, el nivel de exposición a pacientes contagiados entre otros. Todos estos factores y sus repercusiones en la salud de los trabajadores de la salud son una problemática que no debe pasar desapercibida, esto en virtud de salvaguardar el bienestar de aquellos quienes se encuentran en la primera línea de defensa contra la COVID-19

Fisiopatología del síndrome de hipertensión intracraneal

Intracranial hypertension syndrome (IHS) is characterized by increased of intracranial pressure (ICP) above normal limits, which leads to various signs and symptoms suffered by the patient, which, if it is not diagnosed early, can lead to a fatal outcome leading to coma and death. ICP is determined by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, blood flow, and brain parenchyma. Its etiology is varied, and it can be acute or chronic, which determines the various clinical manifestations. The clinical manifestations occur in several stages, commonly producing headache, vomiting, papilledema, and focal neurological signs. The objective is to publicize the neuroanatomy that is involved, in order to make an early diagnosis and prevent irreversible pathologies, likewise it is of utmost importance to understand the reason for the clinical manifestations by knowing the affected structures and thus being able to carry out an adequate approach.El síndrome de hipertensión intracraneal (HIC) se caracteriza por el aumento de la presión intracraneal (PIC) por encima de límites normales, la cual conlleva a varios signos y síntomas que sufre el paciente, la cual, si no se aborda a tiempo, puede llevar a un desenlace fatal con coma y muerte. La PIC la determina la presión de líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR), el flujo sanguíneo y el parénquima cerebral. Su etiología es variada, pudiendo ser aguda o crónica lo que determina las diversas manifestaciones clínicas. Las manifestaciones clínicas se dan en varias etapas, produciendo comúnmente cefalea, vómitos, papiledema y signos focales neurológicos. El objetivo es dar a conocer la neuroanatomía involucrada, para así poder realizar un diagnóstico temprano y prevenir patologías irreversibles, así mismo es de suma importancia para comprender el motivo de las manifestaciones clínicas al conocer las estructuras afectadas y poder así realizar un adecuado abordaje

Síndromes post gastrectomía: Clínica, Diagnóstico y Tratamiento.

Post-gastrectomy syndromes are described as late postoperative complications, where one of the most common cause is bariatric surgery, as it is currently a common procedure. Gastric surgery modifies gastric anatomy and physiology and this affects the development of these entities. Dumping syndrome and alkaline reflux gastritis are described as the most common, while the development of afferent loop syndrome is not as common today. Dumping syndrome is also called gastric emptying syndrome, the symptoms that present are divided into early ones that are gastrointestinal and vasomotor, and late ones where the development of late hypoglycemia in response to hyperinsulinism stands out. On the other hand, we have the afferent loop syndrome, which is a merely mechanical process due to an excessively long afferent loop, where the symptoms reported by these patients are postprandial abdominal pain, cramps and non-food vomiting that completely relieve pain. And alkaline reflux gastritis is due to chronic exposure of the gastric remnant to bilious and pancreatic substances that induce burning postprandial abdominal pain, associated with nausea and bile vomiting without food content that partially relieves abdominal pain. The identification of these syndromes is important since they deteriorate the quality of life of patients and require proper management by physicians.Los síndromes post gastrectomías se describen como complicaciones posoperatorias tardías, donde una de la causa más común es la cirugía bariátrica, ya que en la actualidad es un procedimiento frecuente.  La cirugía gástrica modifica la anatomía y la fisiología gástrica y esto incide en el desarrollo de estas entidades. El síndrome de dumping y la gastritis por reflujo alcalino se describen como las más frecuentes, mientras que el desarrollo del síndrome de asa aferente no es tan frecuente en la actualidad. El síndrome dumping se le denomina también síndrome de vaciamiento gástrico, los síntomas que presentan se dividen en tempranos que son gastrointestinales y vasomotores, y los tardíos donde resalta el desarrollo de una hipoglicemia tardía como respuesta a un hiperinsulinismo. Por otro lado, tenemos el síndrome de asa aferente, que es un proceso meramente mecánico debido a un asa aferente excesivamente larga, donde los síntomas que refieren estos pacientes es dolor abdominal posprandial, calambres y vómitos no alimentarios que alivian por completo el dolor. Y la gastritis por reflujo alcalino se debe a la exposición crónica del remanente gástrico a las sustancias biliosas y pancreáticas que inducen dolor abdominal postprandial ardoroso, asociado a nausea y vómitos biliares sin contenido alimentario que alivia parcialmente el dolor abdominal. La identificación de estos síndromes es importante ya que deterioran la calidad de vida de los pacientes y requieren un manejo adecuado por parte de los médicos.&nbsp

Mobile Personal Health Monitoring for Automated Classification of Electrocardiogram Signals in Elderly

Mobile electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is an emerging area that has received increasing attention in recent years, but still real-life validation for elderly residing in low and middle-income countries is scarce. We developed a wearable ECG monitor that is integrated with a self-designed wireless sensor for ECG signal acquisition. It is used with a native purposely designed smartphone application, based on machine learning techniques, for automated classification of captured ECG beats from aged people. When tested on 100 older adults, the monitoring system discriminated normal and abnormal ECG signals with a high degree of accuracy (97%), sensitivity (100%), and specificity (96.6%). With further verification, the system could be useful for detecting cardiac abnormalities in the home environment and contribute to prevention, early diagnosis, and effective treatment of cardiovascular diseases, while keeping costs down and increasing access to healthcare services for older persons
