Innovating imaging in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: an ongoing quest

This thesis focusses on the ongoing quest of imaging in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The innovations within the field of imaging in JIA are discussed, in order to increase the added value of imaging in the evaluation of disease activity and the management of patients with JIA. The thesis is divided in three parts, with topics covering both the knee and wrist (Part I), knee only (Part II) and wrist only (III). In general, the following items are discussed: international collaboration on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in JIA, preferred locations for JIA on MRI of the knee and wrist, comparison of MRI of the knee between unaffected children and clinically active JIA patients, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in the knee and wrist and bone health of JIA patients as determined on X-ray of the hand

Considerations for future studies on the effect of late phase oxygen strategies on retinopathy of prematurity

Strategies to ensure high intraocular oxygen delivery to the developing retina after 32 weeks gestational age, such as higher saturation targets and/or higher hemoglobin levels, are hypothesized to prevent ophthalmological treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This short report summarizes the current evidence of these strategies, and discusses possibilities of future studies. A large sample size would be required and therefore the feasibility of a future randomized controlled trial is questioned

La perspectiva política de Jesús desde los evangelios como fundamento de una praxis pastoral solidaria e incluyente en la actualidad

El presente trabajo investigativo tiene como finalidad desarrollar una visión política de Jesús en el marco de los evangelios sinópticos y del evangelio de Juan a fin de promover una práctica pastoral solidaria e incluyente fundamentada en una pedagogía liberadora que responda a las exigencias sociales en la actualidad. Se tendrá como punto de referencia la ministerialidad del mensaje político del Reino en Jesús, por lo cual la investigación se dilucidará de la siguiente manera: primero, se realizará una contextualización de la época de Jesús en lo referente al contexto social, histórico y religioso que son clave en el discurso que anunció Jesús a sus discípulos y a la comunidad de la época
