Conocimientos sobre prevención del intento de suicidio en estudiantes de Medicina y médicos de familia

Fundamento: una práctica laboral efectiva requiere de un enfoque de competencia que muestre la relación entre aprendizaje y trabajo.Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de conocimientos que tienen los estudiantes de Medicina y médicos de familia sobre la prevención del intento de suicidio.Método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en el periodo de enero 2017-2018 en el Policlínico Docente 1. “Dra. Francisca Rivero Arocha” del municipio Manzanillo, Granma. Se utilizaron métodos teóricos: histórico-lógico, análisis-síntesis e inducción-deducción; empíricos: encuesta en forma de cuestionario; y estadísticos para el procesamiento de los datos en números absolutos y el análisis porcentual.Resultados: los encuestados mostraron desconocimiento en la identificación y atención de individuos y grupos de riesgo para cometer un intento suicida; la mayoría de los estudiantes estuvieron incluidos en la categoría de Malo; en los residentes y especialistas de Medicina General Integral sobresalen las categorías de Regular, en lo fundamental. Se constataron, además insuficiencias relacionadas con el desconocimiento de los objetivos que persigue el Programa Nacional para la Prevención y Control de la Conducta Suicida.Conclusión: el diagnóstico realizado evidenció notables insuficiencias en el conocimiento acerca de la prevención del intento suicida, los autores consideran que es un problema a resolver desde la academia en el proceso de formación y superación del profesional de la Atención Primaria de Salud

Effect of Moringa oleifera seed extract on antimicrobial activity and in vitro fertilization ability of cryopreserved ram semen

Cryopreservation has adverse effects on the post-thaw sperm quality due to oxidative stress and the presence of bacteria. To minimize such effects, plant extracts have been included in the composition of the semen diluents. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of Moringa oleifera seed extract (MOSE) on cryopreserved ram semen, as well as its impact on in vitro fertilization. Semen from six hair rams was treated with five treatments before cryopreservation: Control (without any antibiotic), Standard (conventional antibiotic), 1.0, 10.0, and 50.0 mg/ml of MOSE. Post-thawing sperm characteristics were evaluated by the computer-assisted semen analysis. Antimicrobial activity was assessed by counting colony-forming units (CFU) and the antioxidant capacity by the ferric reducing antioxidant power method. A heterologous in vitro fertilization technique was implemented to measure the fertilization rate. Progressive and rapid motility, membrane and acrosome integrity, and active mitochondria were higher (p < .05) in the 10.0 mg/ml treatment compared with Standard after thawing. All M. oleifera treatments showed inhibition of CFU. The antioxidant capacity of M. oleifera seed extract was higher in the 10.0 and 50.0 mg/ml treatments. Fertilization rate (cleavage percentage) was higher (p < .05) in the 10.0 mg/ml (82.9 ± 10.0) and Control (82.5 ± 9.9) treatments compared with Standard (73.7 ± 9.1). The addition of 10.0 mg/ml of MOSE to ram semen inhibits the development of microorganisms and improves sperm characteristics and the in vitro fertility of the semen

Inclusión y talento : equidad en una educación de calidad : Programa de Inclusión y Talento en el Aula

La inclusión se refiere a tres aspectos: primero, la inteligencia no nace con la persona, más bien sus rasgos principales y su evolución a lo largo de la vida de un individuo son producto de su desarrollo evolutivo en un contexto cultural; segundo lugar, para lograr un desarrollo equitativo y a escala humana, debe brindarse una educación de calidad a todos y todas; tercero, debe garantizarse la satisfacción de las necesidades especiales educativas, del individuo, al margen de sus posibilidades económica

Gender differences and management of stroke risk of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in an upper middle-income country: Insights from the CARMEN-AF registry

Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and systemic embolism. Several studies have suggested that female AF patients could have a greater risk for stroke. There is scarce information about clinical characteristics and use of antithrombotic therapies in Latin American patients with nonvalvular AF. Objective: To describe the gender differences in clinical characteristics, thromboembolic risk, and antithrombotic therapy of patients with nonvalvular AF recruited in Mexico, an upper middle-income country, into the prospective national CARMEN-AF Registry. Methods: A total of 1423 consecutive patients, with at least one thromboembolic risk factor were enrolled in CARMEN-AF Registry during a three-year period (2014–2017). They were categorized according to Gender. Results: Overall, 48.6% were women, mean age 70 ± 12 years. Diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and obstructive sleep apnea were higher in men. Most women were found with paroxysmal AF (40.6%), and most men with permanent AF (44.0%). No gender differences were found in the use of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) (30.5% in women vs. 28.0% in men). No gender differences were found in the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) (33.8% women vs 35.4% men). Conclusions: CARMEN-AF Registry demonstrates that in Mexico, regardless of gender, a large proportion of patients remain undertreated. No gender differences were found in the use of VKA or DOAC.
