Análisis de los constructos de autoconcepto y resiliencia, en jugadoras de baloncesto de categoría cadete

El presente estudio tuvo como objeto determinar y analizar las propiedades psicométricas de los instrumentos Autoconcepto Forma-5 (AF- 5) y CD-RISC así como describir y analizar las relaciones existentes entre ambas y especificar el efecto que tienen las horas de entrenamiento regular y la posición en baloncesto sobre las dimensiones psicosociales (autoconcepto y resiliencia), en jugadoras de baloncesto adolescentes españoles, considerando de manera simultánea variables personales y físico deportivas. Las participantes fueron 74 jugadoras cadetes, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 16 años, para el análisis estadística se llevó a cabo un análisis factorial exploratorio y análisis de regresión, donde se exploraba el efecto que tenían las horas de entrenamiento y posicionamiento, sobre las dimensiones de los cuestionarios Autoconcepto Forma-5 (AF-5) de García y Musitu (1999) y de la resiliencia (CD-RISC) de Connor y Davidson (2003). Los resultados, señalan que los cuestionarios CD RISC y AF-5 son aplicables a la población de jugadoras adolescentes de baloncesto, que estas presentan un desafío de la conducta orientada a la acción y autoconcepto familiar elevado en relación al resto de dimensiones. El posicionamiento en el terreno de juego no ejerce ninguna influencia en los aspectos psicosociales y el análisis de regresión establece que a mayor tiempo de entrenamiento se produce un incremento en el autoconcepto.The present study was to determine and analyze the psychometric properties of self-concept (AF-5) and resilience (CD-RISC). The aims of this study as to describe and analyze the relationships between them and specify the effect of hours of regular training and position in basketball on the psychosocial dimensions (self-concept and resilience) in Spanish adolescents basketball players, considering simultaneously personal and physical sports variables. Participants were 74 youth players, aged between 12 and 16 years. It conducted an exploratory factor analysis and regression analysis and the effect they had training hours, positioning, on the dimensions of the test Autoconcepto Form-5 (AF-5) García and Musitu (1999) and explores resilience (CD-RISC), Connor and Davidson (2003). The results indicate that the questionnaires CD-RISC and AF-5 are applicable to the population of youth basketball players. These are challenging the action-oriented behavior and familiar self-concept is high in relation to the other dimensions. Positioning in the field has no influence on the psychosocial aspects and the regression analysis establishes that longer training arean increase in self-concept

An expert consensus report on the clinical use of the Vycross® hyaluronic acid VYC-25 L filler.

Background: The portfolio of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and the techniques of administration have evolved in recent years. The latest innovation in the Vycross® range was the introduction of VYC-25L (Juvéderm Volux®; Allergan plc), a first-in- class filler effective for chin and facial lower third remodeling. The aim here was to provide clinicians who are starting to use VYC-25L with key advice, and to standardize procedures so that optimal and predictable outcomes can be obtained. Methods: A multidisciplinary group of experts in esthetic medicine from Spain and Portugal reviewed the properties, treatment paradigms, administration techniques, and potential complications of VYC-25L, on the basis of which they drafted consensus recommendations for its clinical use. Results: The consensus panel provided specific recommendations focusing on the patient profile, dose, administration techniques, and the complications of VYC-25L and their management. The panel identified five different profiles of patients who may benefit from VYC-25L, and they drafted recommendations aimed to facilitate the treatment of these patients, namely, microgenia (women/men), masculinization (men), rejuvenation (women/men), facial laxity (women/men), and submental convexity (women/men). In terms of their safety, no specific recommendations were made beyond those established for other HA fillers. Conclusions: The evolution of esthetic medicine makes it necessary to update the clinical recommendations that guide patient assessment and treatment with the new HA fillers developed. The current consensus document addresses relevant issues related to the use of VYC-25L on different types of patient, in an attempt to standardize procedures and help specialists obtain predictable results.post-print806 K

First reported double drug–drug interaction in a cancer renal patient under everolimus treatment: therapeutic drug monitoring and review of literature

Everolimus is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) used in both transplantation and cancer treatment (breast, renal and neuroendocrine). In transplantation, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is recommended due to the potential drug-drug interactions with chronic medications, which can affect everolimus pharmacokinetics. In cancer treatment, everolimus is used at higher doses than in transplantation and without a systematic drug monitoring.We present a case report of a 72-year-old woman with epilepsy history to whom everolimus 10 mg QD was prescribed as third line of treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The potential drug interactions between everolimus and the patient's chronic medications, carbamazepine and phenytoin, are significant as both are known as strong inducers CYP3A4 metabolism, potentially leading to underexposure to everolimus.TDM of everolimus was recommended by the pharmacist. The literature suggests that a minimum plasma concentration (Cminss) of everolimus over 10 ng/ml is associated with better response to treatment and progression-free survival (PFS). The patient's everolimus dose had to be increased until 10 mg BID, and regular monitoring of everolimus levels showed an increase in Cminss from 3.7 ng/ml to 10.8 ng/ml.This case highlights the importance of checking for potential drug interactions and monitoring everolimus levels in patients on chronic medication, especially those with several inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 metabolism. TDM can help to ensure that patients are treated with their optimal dose, which can improve the effectiveness of the treatment or minimize the risk of toxicities

Zoonoses and pets in domestic environments: risk communication

En las sociedades occidentales, la tenencia de mascotas en el hogar se incrementa anualmente debido a los beneficios emocionales, físicos y psíquicos que aportan. Junto a estos beneficios, debe considerarse también la existencia de diferentes enfermedades que pueden transmitirse desde los animales al resto de convivientes en el hogar, con especial importancia para aquellas personas pertenecientes a grupos de riesgo. El aparente desafío riesgo-beneficio que provoca la tenencia de mascotas deberá solventarse considerando el estado de salud de los miembros del hogar para la selección de la especie y la recomendación de medidas higiénicas y de manejo específicas. De forma general, el conocimiento y la preocupación de los propietarios por las zoonosis asociadas a sus mascotas son escasos, incluso en los hogares donde hay personas de alto riesgo. Además, las limitaciones en los procedimientos de comunicación con los diferentes profesionales sanitarios pueden ocasionar que las situaciones de riesgo pasen desapercibidas. Por todo ello, se impone la necesidad de establecer protocolos, tanto intra como interprofesionales, para proporcionar un adecuado flujo de información que asegure la comunicación con el propietario de acuerdo con las particularidades sanitarias de los convivientes de cada hogar.In occidental societies, the presence of pets in households increases year after year as a result of their beneficial effects on emotional, physical and psychological aspects. Along with these benefits, the existence of different diseases that can be transmitted from the animals to the rest of the members of the household must be taken into consideration, especially for those co-habitants who belong to the population at risk. This apparent challenge between the risks and benefits of pet ownership ought to be settled by taking into account the health status of the different members of the household in order to select the most convenient animal species as well as to determine the specific hygienic and management measures to apply. In general, the knowledge and concern of pet owners regarding the zoonoses associated to their pets are scarce, even when members of their household are considered as population at risk. In addition, the limitations affecting the communication procedures from the different health professionals may cause risk situations to pass by unnoticed. For this reason, it is necessary to establish interprofessional and intraprofessional protocols which ensure an adequate communication flow with pet owners depending on the particular health situation of their households

Low transmission of SARS-CoV-2 derived from children in family clusters: An observational study of family households in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, Spain

Background: Family clusters offer a good opportunity to study viral transmission in a stable setting. We aimed to analyze the specific role of children in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within households. Methods: A prospective, longitudinal, observational study, including children with documented acute SARS-CoV-2 infection attending 22 summer-schools in Barcelona, Spain, was performed. Moreover, other patients and families coming from other school-like environments that voluntarily accessed the study were also studied. A longitudinal follow-up (5 weeks) of the family clusters was conducted to determine whether the children considered to be primary cases were able to transmit the virus to other family members. The household reproduction number (Re*) and the secondary attack rate (SAR) were calculated. Results: 1905 children from the summer schools were screened for SARS-CoV-2 infection and 22 (1.15%) tested positive. Moreover, 32 additional children accessed the study voluntarily. Of these, 37 children and their 26 households were studied completely. In half of the cases (13/26), the primary case was considered to be a child and secondary transmission to other members of the household was observed in 3/13, with a SAR of 14.2% and a Re* of 0.46. Conversely, the SAR of adult primary cases was 72.2% including the kids that gave rise to the contact tracing study, and 61.5% without them, and the estimated Re* was 2.6. In 4/13 of the paediatric primary cases (30.0%), nasopharyngeal PCR was persistently positive > 1 week after diagnosis, and 3/4 of these children infected another family member (p<0.01). Conclusions: Children may not be the main drivers of the infection in household transmission clusters in the study population. A prolonged positive PCR could be associated with higher transmissibility.Peer ReviewedObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::3 - Salut i BenestarPostprint (published version
