Propuesta de PEI para la creación de una Institución Educativa Cristiana Bilingüe de Nivel Preescolar en el Municipio de Mosquera

200 páginasPor medio de este trabajo de grado se buscó diseñar una propuesta de Proyecto Educativo Institucional para la creación de una institución educativa cristiana bilingüe de nivel preescolar en el municipio de Mosquera, que articulara las características del contexto de este lugar para dar respuesta a las necesidades de la población cristiana del mismo y territorios aledaños, lo cual se logró mediante una investigación exploratoria de enfoque cualitativo y una recolección de datos bajo un método no estandarizado como encuestas dirigidas a familias cristianas del barrio Villa María, ubicado en Mosquera Cundinamarca. Los resultados obtenidos evidenciaron la necesidad y expectativa por parte de las familias acerca de una formación de los niños, basada en los valores y principios bíblicos en donde también se desarrolle el dominio de una segunda lengua. De esta manera se procedió a elaborar la propuesta de un PEI para la creación del Gimnasio Cristiano Nissi, que sobresaliera por su visión Cristo-céntrica y el bilingüismo como ejes transversales de formación. Asimismo, se buscó innovar en cuanto a la orientación pedagógica de la Institución, estableciendo como columna vertebral la pedagogía de Jesús en asociación con el aprendizaje significativo y el aprendizaje basado en proyectos ABP

“Cantidad y calidad de los hidratos de carbono de la dieta y su relación con obesidad abdominal en la población de Córdoba”

Área temática de investigación: Epidemiología y salud pública. Autores: Barrionuevo KE, Gutiérrez RB, Montenegro LB, Ochoa MV, Haluszka E, Niclis C. Introducción: El índice glucémico (IG) y la carga glucémica (CG), utilizados para cuantificar la calidad y cantidad de los HC de la alimentación se asociaron al desarrollo de obesidad, aunque pocas veces en relación a la distribución abdominal. Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre la cantidad y calidad de los HC consumidos en la dieta y la obesidad abdominal en la población adulta de la ciudad de Córdoba en el año 2020. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio epidemiológico observacional, de corte transversal, con un abordaje descriptivo y correlacional, con 522 participantes. Se realizó una encuesta incluyendo datos sociodemográficos, un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos y mediciones antropométricas. Se calcularon el IG y CG alimentarios, así como la cantidad y frecuencia de consumo de alimentos de alto IG. Se estudió la relación entre las variables empleando test de chi2 , análisis de correlación y de regresión logística múltiple. Resultados: La prevalencia de obesidad fue de 24% y de obesidad abdominal un 63% siendo más frecuente a mayor edad y en personas de nivel socioeconómico bajo. El 72% de la población total presentó un IG promedio alto. El IG alimentario se correlacionó positivamente con indicadores de obesidad abdominal (CC, CCue y el ICT). Además, a mayor edad se incrementó la chance de presentar obesidad abdominal. Conclusión: A mayor IG, más elevados fueron los indicadores de distribución central de grasa corporal. Esto resalta la necesidad de hacer foco en la obesidad abdominal en el estudio de indicadores de calidad de HC. Palabras claves: Índice glucémico - Carga glucémica - Obesidad - Obesidad abdominal.Fil: Montenegro Mansilla, Laura Belén. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.

Effectiveness of family metacognitive training in mothers with psychosis and their adolescent children: a multicenter study protocol

BackgroundMore than half of women with psychosis take care of their children despite the difficulties caused by the disease. Additionally, these kids have a higher risk of developing a mental health disorder. However, no interventions have been developed to meet these needs. Metacognitive Training (MCT) is a psychological intervention that has demonstrated its efficacy in improving cognitive insight, symptom management and social cognition in people with first-episode psychosis (FEP). Additionally, MCT has shown better results in women than men with FEP. This study aims to adapt and evaluate the efficacy of MCT-F in mothers and adolescent children in an online group context with the main purpose of improving family relationships, cognitive awareness and symptoms in women with psychosis and increase their children’s knowledge of the disease and their functioning. As secondary objectives, it also aims to evaluate improvements in metacognition, social cognition, symptoms, protective factors and self-perception of stigma.Materials and methodsA quasi-experimental design with participants acting as their own control will be carried out. Forty-eight mothers with psychosis and their adolescent children (between 12 and 20 years old) recruited from a total of 11 adult mental health care centers will receive MCT-F. Participants will be evaluated 11 weeks before the intervention (T1), at baseline (T2), and post-intervention (T3) with a cognitive insight scale, as a primary outcome. Measures of metacognitive and social cognition, symptoms, cognitive functioning, family and social functioning, protective factors (self-esteem, resilience, and coping strategies) and self-perceived stigma will be addressed as secondary outcomes. Assessment will also address trauma and attachment in mothers and, lastly, the feasibility and acceptability of MCT-F in both participant groups.DiscussionThis will be the first investigation of the efficacy, acceptability, and viability of the implementation of MCT-F. The results of this study may have clinical implications, contributing to improving mothers’ with psychosis and adolescents’ functioning and better understanding of the disease, in addition to the possible protective and preventive effect in adolescents, who are known to be at higher risk of developing severe mental disorders.Clinical trial registration:https://clinicaltrials.gov/, identifier [NCT05358457]

Using Interpretable Machine Learning to Identify Baseline Predictive Factors of Remission and Drug Durability in Crohn’s Disease Patients on Ustekinumab

Ustekinumab has shown efficacy in Crohn's Disease (CD) patients. To identify patient profiles of those who benefit the most from this treatment would help to position this drug in the therapeutic paradigm of CD and generate hypotheses for future trials. The objective of this analysis was to determine whether baseline patient characteristics are predictive of remission and the drug durability of ustekinumab, and whether its positioning with respect to prior use of biologics has a significant effect after correcting for disease severity and phenotype at baseline using interpretable machine learning. Patients' data from SUSTAIN, a retrospective multicenter single-arm cohort study, were used. Disease phenotype, baseline laboratory data, and prior treatment characteristics were documented. Clinical remission was defined as the Harvey Bradshaw Index <= 4 and was tracked longitudinally. Drug durability was defined as the time until a patient discontinued treatment. A total of 439 participants from 60 centers were included and a total of 20 baseline covariates considered. Less exposure to previous biologics had a positive effect on remission, even after controlling for baseline disease severity using a non-linear, additive, multivariable model. Additionally, age, body mass index, and fecal calprotectin at baseline were found to be statistically significant as independent negative risk factors for both remission and drug survival, with further risk factors identified for remission

Long-Term Real-World Effectiveness and Safety of Ustekinumab in Crohn’s Disease Patients: The SUSTAIN Study

Background Large real-world-evidence studies are required to confirm the durability of response, effectiveness, and safety of ustekinumab in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients in real-world clinical practice. Methods A retrospective, multicentre study was conducted in Spain in patients with active CD who had received ≥1 intravenous dose of ustekinumab for ≥6 months. Primary outcome was ustekinumab retention rate; secondary outcomes were to identify predictive factors for drug retention, short-term remission (week 16), loss of response and predictive factors for short-term efficacy and loss of response, and ustekinumab safety. Results A total of 463 patients were included. Mean baseline Harvey-Bradshaw Index was 8.4. A total of 447 (96.5%) patients had received prior biologic therapy, 141 (30.5%) of whom had received ≥3 agents. In addition, 35.2% received concomitant immunosuppressants, and 47.1% had ≥1 abdominal surgery. At week 16, 56% had remission, 70% had response, and 26.1% required dose escalation or intensification; of these, 24.8% did not subsequently reduce dose. After a median follow-up of 15 months, 356 (77%) patients continued treatment. The incidence rate of ustekinumab discontinuation was 18% per patient-year of follow-up. Previous intestinal surgery and concomitant steroid treatment were associated with higher risk of ustekinumab discontinuation, while a maintenance schedule every 12 weeks had a lower risk; neither concomitant immunosuppressants nor the number of previous biologics were associated with ustekinumab discontinuation risk. Fifty adverse events were reported in 39 (8.4%) patients; 4 of them were severe (2 infections, 1 malignancy, and 1 fever). Conclusions Ustekinumab is effective and safe as short- and long-term treatment in a refractory cohort of CD patients in real-world clinical practice

Predictors of Response to Exclusive Enteral Nutrition in Newly Diagnosed Crohn´s Disease in Children: PRESENCE Study from SEGHNP

Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) has been shown to be more effective than corticosteroids in achieving mucosal healing in children with Crohn´s disease (CD) without the adverse effects of these drugs. The aims of this study were to determine the efficacy of EEN in terms of inducing clinical remission in children newly diagnosed with CD, to describe the predictive factors of response to EEN and the need for treatment with biological agents during the first 12 months of the disease. We conducted an observational retrospective multicentre study that included paediatric patients newly diagnosed with CD between 2014–2016 who underwent EEN. Two hundred and twenty-two patients (140 males) from 35 paediatric centres were included, with a mean age at diagnosis of 11.6 ± 2.5 years. The median EEN duration was 8 weeks (IQR 6.6–8.5), and 184 of the patients (83%) achieved clinical remission (weighted paediatric Crohn’s Disease activity index [wPCDAI] 15 mg/L and ileal involvement tended to respond better to EEN. EEN administered for 6–8 weeks is effective for inducing clinical remission. Due to the high response rate in our series, EEN should be used as the first-line therapy in luminal paediatric Crohn’s disease regardless of the location of disease and disease activityS

Natural History of MYH7-Related Dilated Cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND Variants in myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) are responsible for disease in 1% to 5% of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM); however, the clinical characteristics and natural history of MYH7-related DCM are poorly described. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the phenotype and prognosis of MYH7-related DCM. We also evaluated the influence of variant location on phenotypic expression. METHODS We studied clinical data from 147 individuals with DCM-causing MYH7 variants (47.6% female; 35.6 +/- 19.2 years) recruited from 29 international centers. RESULTS At initial evaluation, 106 (72.1%) patients had DCM (left ventricular ejection fraction: 34.5% +/- 11.7%). Median follow-up was 4.5 years (IQR: 1.7-8.0 years), and 23.7% of carriers who were initially phenotype-negative developed DCM. Phenotypic expression by 40 and 60 years was 46% and 88%, respectively, with 18 patients (16%) first diagnosed at <18 years of age. Thirty-six percent of patients with DCM met imaging criteria for LV noncompaction. During follow-up, 28% showed left ventricular reverse remodeling. Incidence of adverse cardiac events among patients with DCM at 5 years was 11.6%, with 5 (4.6%) deaths caused by end-stage heart failure (ESHF) and 5 patients (4.6%) requiring heart transplantation. The major ventricular arrhythmia rate was low (1.0% and 2.1% at 5 years in patients with DCM and in those with LVEF of <= 35%, respectively). ESHF and major ventricular arrhythmia were significantly lower compared with LMNA-related DCM and similar to DCM caused by TTN truncating variants. CONCLUSIONS MYH7-related DCM is characterized by early age of onset, high phenotypic expression, low left ventricular reverse remodeling, and frequent progression to ESHF. Heart failure complications predominate over ventricular arrhythmias, which are rare. (C) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier on behalf of the American College of Cardiology Foundation
