Impact of Ethical Training: A Reflexive Contribution from Educational Ethnography

Due to the national and international impact of the training of civic and ethically competent professionals and citizens I describe the teaching learning and evaluation strategies applied during more than 9 years of educational work Methodological strategies which have allowed to have results of quality excellence and effectiveness both in the evolution and development of the students as well as for the academic and administrative academic management developed by the the High Quality University Institution in Bogot D C I share the present reflection with the purpose of explaining that values virtues principles attitudes and human behaviors can be taught learned and modeled with exigency and transcendence even in the university setting having found in educational ethnography a tool that gives value and Meaning to everything that happens before during and after the classroom encounters As a result and relevant conclusion the same students express that for the 93 47 of those who studied the subject of ethics the subject matter didactics and strategies of evaluation and participation had a positive effect on their attitude and performance as citizens and professionals beyond the classroom and the grades obtaine

Influencia del burnout, la calidad de vida y los factores socioeconómicos en las estrategias de afrontamiento

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the Burnout syndrome and quality of life, as well as the socioeconomic variables in the coping styles used by 71 health workers (52.1 % nurses and 47.9 % nursing aids). The health questionnaire (SF36), the stress coping questionnaire (CAE) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) were applied. According to the results, the presence of Burnout was low (77.5 % without Burnout), the quality of life was reduced in the areas of vitality, corporal pain and general health, and the most used strategies were those of focusing on the solution of problems and positive reappraisal. The increase in the quality of life, the reduction in the severity of Burnout symptoms, being female, young and working as a nurse, are all significant predictors (cubic regression) of the increase in the use of all the coping strategies, especially those focusing on the solution of problems and positive reappraisal.O propósito deste estudo foi avaliar a influência da síndrome de Burnout e a qualidade de vida, assim como os fatores socioeconômicos, nos estilos de enfren­tamento utilizados por 71 trabalhadores da saúde (52,1% enfermeiros e 47,9% auxiliares de enfermaria).

Evaluación del programa de control de tuberculosis de Buenaventura período 2010

La tuberculosis (TB) sigue siendo considerada como un problema de Salud Pública. Esta enfermedad causa la muerte aproximadamente a dos millones de personas al año en todo el mundo, sobre todo en las comunidades más pobres de los países en desarrollo. Para dar solución a este problema, en el mundo se han implementado y fortalecidos estrategias y programas que posibiliten el alcance de las metas establecidas de diagnóstico del 70% y curación del 85% para así romper la cadena de trasmisión de la enfermedad. Sin embargo las diferentes evaluaciones hechas a estos programas muestran enorme falencias que afectan negativamente el cumplimiento de estas metas, y Colombia no ha sido la excepción a ello.MaestríaMAGISTER EN SALUD PÚBLIC

Health care system planning for and response to a nuclear detonation

The hallmark of a successful response to a nuclear detonation will be the resilience of the community, region, and nation. An incident of this magnitude will rapidly become a national incident; however, the initial critical steps to reduce lives lost, save the lives that can be saved with the resources available, and understand and apply resources available to a complex and dynamic situation will be the responsibility of the local and regional responders and planners. Expectations of the public health and health care systems will be met to the extent possible by coordination, cooperation, and an effort to produce as consistent a response as possible for the victims. Responders will face extraordinarily stressful situations, and their own physical and psychological health is of great importance to optimizing the response. This article illustrates through vignettes and supporting text how the incident may unfold for the various components of the health and medical systems and provides additional context for the discipline-related actions outlined in the state and local planners’ playbook

Serotonin inhibits axonal regeneration of identifiable descending neurons after a complete spinal cord injury in lampreys

Classical neurotransmitters are mainly known for their roles as neuromodulators, but they also play important roles in the control of developmental and regenerative processes. Here, we used the lamprey model of spinal cord injury to study the effect of serotonin in axon regeneration at the level of individually identifiable descending neurons. Pharmacological and genetic manipulations after a complete spinal cord injury showed that endogenous serotonin inhibits axonal regeneration in identifiable descending neurons through the activation of serotonin 1A receptors and a subsequent decrease in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels. RNA sequencing revealed that changes in the expression of genes that control axonal guidance could be a key factor determining the serotonin effects during regeneration. This study provides new targets of interest for research in non-regenerating mammalian models of traumatic central nervous system injuries and extends the known roles of serotonin signalling during neuronal regeneration. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper

A review of trisomy X (47,XXX)

Trisomy X is a sex chromosome anomaly with a variable phenotype caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in females (47,XXX instead of 46,XX). It is the most common female chromosomal abnormality, occurring in approximately 1 in 1,000 female births. As some individuals are only mildly affected or asymptomatic, it is estimated that only 10% of individuals with trisomy X are actually diagnosed. The most common physical features include tall stature, epicanthal folds, hypotonia and clinodactyly. Seizures, renal and genitourinary abnormalities, and premature ovarian failure (POF) can also be associated findings. Children with trisomy X have higher rates of motor and speech delays, with an increased risk of cognitive deficits and learning disabilities in the school-age years. Psychological features including attention deficits, mood disorders (anxiety and depression), and other psychological disorders are also more common than in the general population. Trisomy X most commonly occurs as a result of nondisjunction during meiosis, although postzygotic nondisjunction occurs in approximately 20% of cases. The risk of trisomy X increases with advanced maternal age. The phenotype in trisomy X is hypothesized to result from overexpression of genes that escape X-inactivation, but genotype-phenotype relationships remain to be defined. Diagnosis during the prenatal period by amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling is common. Indications for postnatal diagnoses most commonly include developmental delays or hypotonia, learning disabilities, emotional or behavioral difficulties, or POF. Differential diagnosis prior to definitive karyotype results includes fragile X, tetrasomy X, pentasomy X, and Turner syndrome mosaicism. Genetic counseling is recommended. Patients diagnosed in the prenatal period should be followed closely for developmental delays so that early intervention therapies can be implemented as needed. School-age children and adolescents benefit from a psychological evaluation with an emphasis on identifying and developing an intervention plan for problems in cognitive/academic skills, language, and/or social-emotional development. Adolescents and adult women presenting with late menarche, menstrual irregularities, or fertility problems should be evaluated for POF. Patients should be referred to support organizations to receive individual and family support. The prognosis is variable, depending on the severity of the manifestations and on the quality and timing of treatment
