Programa de educación para la salud orientado a los profesionales y a la sociedad sobre el control y tratamiento de la intolerancia a la lactosa en el adulto

La intolerancia a la lactosa es un trastorno clínico frecuente (padecido, aproximadamente, por el 70% de la población mundial), cuando existe una deficiencia de la enzima lactasa, presente en el intestino delgado y encargada de su digestión. En consecuencia, pueden aparecer diferentes signos y síntomas, capaces de alterar el correcto funcionamiento del organismo.Existen diferentes tipos de intolerancia a la lactosa y diversas maneras para poder diagnosticarla. La opción de tratamiento más importante consiste en llevar a cabo una adecuada dieta equilibrada adaptada a cada persona, teniendo como meta tanto el control de la propia intolerancia como la potenciación del bienestar personal.Objetivo: Diseñar un programa de educación para la salud sobre la intolerancia a la lactosa dirigido a la población adulta y al personal sanitario.Metodología: Mediante una búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva se ha confeccionado, en primer lugar, un programa formativo para profesionales sanitarios, tras el cual, se ha realizado un taller con el propósito de sensibilizar y educar a la población.Conclusión: Mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas en tratamiento por intolerancia a la lactosa es factible llevando a cabo una dieta equilibrada y adaptada. La formación y el seguimiento por parte del profesional sanitario resultan relevantes y necesarios en este ámbito.<br /

Underway spectrophotometry along the Atlantic Meridional Transect reveals high performance in satellite chlorophyll retrievals

To evaluate the performance of ocean-colour retrievals of total chlorophyll-a concentration requires direct comparison with concomitant and co-located in situ data. For global comparisons, these in situ match-ups should be ideally representative of the distribution of total chlorophyll-a concentration in the global ocean. The oligotrophic gyres constitute the majority of oceanic water, yet are under-sampled due to their inaccessibility and under-represented in global in situ databases. The Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) is one of only a few programmes that consistently sample oligotrophic waters. In this paper, we used a spectrophotometer on two AMT cruises (AMT19 and AMT22) to continuously measure absorption by particles in the water of the ship\u27s flow-through system. From these optical data continuous total chlorophyll-a concentrations were estimated with high precision and accuracy along each cruise and used to evaluate the performance of ocean-colour algorithms. We conducted the evaluation using level 3 binned ocean-colour products, and used the high spatial and temporal resolution of the underway system to maximise the number of match-ups on each cruise. Statistical comparisons show a significant improvement in the performance of satellite chlorophyll algorithms over previous studies, with root mean square errors on average less than half (~0.16 in log10 space) that reported previously using global datasets (~0.34 in log10 space). This improved performance is likely due to the use of continuous absorption-based chlorophyll estimates, that are highly accurate, sample spatial scales more comparable with satellite pixels, and minimise human errors. Previous comparisons might have reported higher errors due to regional biases in datasets and methodological inconsistencies between investigators. Furthermore, our comparison showed an underestimate in satellite chlorophyll at low concentrations in 2012 (AMT22), likely due to a small bias in satellite remote-sensing reflectance data. Our results highlight the benefits of using underway spectrophotometric systems for evaluating satellite ocean-colour data and underline the importance of maintaining in situ observatories that sample the oligotrophic gyres

An evaluation of undergraduate student nurses' gameful experience whilst playing a digital escape room as part of a FIRST year module: a cross-sectional study

The circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the use of digital teaching and learning in health professions education. Digital gamification-based teaching and learning activities are innovative and versatile tools for the acquisition of professional competencies in higher education, which can be used on a range of topics and can be supplemental to other teaching methods

Influence of foot pain on frailty symptoms in an elderly population: a case-control study

Background: Frailty is a condition that can increase the risk of falls. In addition, foot disorders can negatively influence elderly people, thus affecting their condition of frailty. Objective: To determine whether foot pain can influence a greater degree of frailty. Design and setting: Cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at the University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain. Methods: A sample older than 60 years (n = 52), including 26 healthy subjects and 26 foot pain patients, was recruited. Frailty disability was measured using the 5-Frailty scale and the Edmonton Frailty scale (EFS). Results: There were statistically significant differences in the total EFS score and in most of its subscales, according to the Mann-Whitney U test (P 0.05). The highest scores (P < 0.001) were for fatigue on the 5-Frailty scale and the EFS, and for the subscale of independence function in EFS. Conclusions: These elderly patients presented impairment relating to ambulation and total 5-Frailty score, which seemed to be linked to the presence of frailty syndrome and foot disorders

Determination and analysis of time series of CFC-11 (CCl3F) from FTIR solar spectra, in situ observations, and model data in the past 20 years above Jungfraujoch (46◦N), Lauder (45◦S), and Cape Grim (40◦S) stations

Trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) is the second most important chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the Earth’s atmosphere. CFCs are long-lived chemicals which were exclusively produced by the industry and broadly used as aerosol spray propellants, refrigerants, inflating and insulating agents in the production of foam materials, as well as solvents. CFCs are transported into the stratosphere where they are photodissociated by UV radiation, releasing chlorine atoms that catalytically destroy stratospheric ozone. The atmospheric concentration of CFC-11 has declined in response to the phase-out of its production by the Montreal Protocol. Nevertheless, this atmospheric concentration decline suffered a slowdown around 2012 due to emissions from non-reported production. Since CFC-11 remains one of the most important ozone-depleting halocarbons, its continuous monitoring is essential. We present the CFC-11 total column time series (2000 – 2020) retrieved in a consistent way from ground-based high-resolution solar absorption Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. These observations were recorded at two mid-latitude stations of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC.org): the Jungfraujoch station (Northern Hemisphere; 46.5⁰N) and the Lauder station (Southern Hemisphere; 45⁰S). These time series were compared with Cape Grim station (40.7⁰S) in situ surface observations conducted within the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) network and with total column datasets calculated by the TOMCAT/SLIMCAT 3-D chemical transport model implementing the unreported emissions. Trend analyses were performed in order to identify and characterise the timing and magnitude of the trend change in both hemispheres. The observations are consistent with the model results and confirm the slowdown in the CFC-11 atmospheric concentration decay, since ≈ 2011 in the Northern Hemisphere, and since ≈ 2014 in the Southern Hemisphere

Dry needling of the flexor digitorum brevis muscle reduces postural control in standing: A pre-post stabilometric study

[Abstract] There are studies that show the better balance after dry needling in lumbar pain. However, the postural control effects after foot dry needling are unknown. Our objective was to check if dry needling reduces postural control. Eighteen subjects with flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle Myofascial trigger point were evaluated pre-and post-deep dry needling. We measured stabilometric variables in a pre-post study. We have found significant differences in three stabilometric variables: surface with eyes closed (29.36–53.21 mm2) (p = 0.000), medium speed of the laterolateral displacement with eyes closed (1.42–1.64 mm/s) (p = 0.004), and medium speed of the anteroposterior displacement with eyes closed (1.30–1.53 mm/s) (p = 0.025). Dry needling therapy application in FDB muscle reduces standing postural control with eyes closed
