Calidad de las compresiones torácicas en resucitación cardiopulmonar practicada en condiciones extremas de temperatura ambiental

Under the care of a team of health professionals in an out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest (PCREH), they can be found in conditions in extreme conditions of ambient temperature, depending on the area where they are located, the time of the year, and even the time of day.Objective: The objective of this study was to verify whether the efficacy of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was affected by extreme heat (40ºC) and cold (0ºC) temperature environments, compared to a CPR in ambient temperature (22ºC).Method: 2 minutes of uninterrupted external chest compressions (ECC) were performed under ambient temperature conditions of 40ºC, 0ºC and 22ºC, in a realistic mannequin Resusci Anne QCPR with SIMPAD.Results: 30 participants, both people with prior training in CPR (86.7%) and without it (13.3%), were part of the sample, 26 women (86.7%) and 4 men (13.3%), with a mean age of 27.37 ± 8.88 years. No statistically significant differences were found in the efficacy of CPR; but there were differences between the total number of CT (p = 0.042), the average depth of the ECC (p = 0.015) and the average frequency (p = 0.034). The Borg scale of perceived exertion (RPE) showed an average of 4.4 ± 1.303 at 22° C, 4.97 ± 1.402 at 40° C and 4.87 ± 2.08 at 0° C (p> 0.05). There were no significant differences in hair lactate.Conclusions: It is concluded that there are no significant differences between the three conditions, although it seems that the cold and room temperatures resemble results and that the heat temperature offers a slight disadvantage of the others.En la atención del equipo de profesionales de la salud en una parada cardiorrespiratoria extrahospitalaria (PCREH), se pueden encontrar en condiciones extremas de temperatura ambiental, según la zona donde se encuentren, la época del año, e incluso la franja horaria. Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo fue comprobar si la eficacia de la Reanimación Cardiopulmonar (RCP) se veía afectada en ambientes de temperatura calor (40ºC) y frío (0ºC) extremos, en comparación con una RCP en temperatura ambiental (22ºC).Método: Se realizaron 2 minutos de compresiones torácicas (CT) ininterrumpidas en las condiciones de temperatura de 40ºC, 0ºC y 22ºC, en un maniquí realista Resusci Anne QCPR con SIMPAD. Resultados: 30 participantes, tanto con formación previa en RCP (86,7%) o sin ella (13,3%), formaron parte de la muestra, 26 mujeres (86,7%) y 4 hombres (13,3%), con una media de edad de 27,37±8,88 años. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la eficacia de la RCP; pero sí que hubo diferencias entre el número total de CT (p=0,042), la profundidad media de las CT (p=0,015) y en la frecuencia media (p=0,034). La escala de Borg de esfuerzo percibido (RPE) mostró una media de 4,4±1,303 a 22ºC, 4,97±1,402 a 40ºC y 4,87±2,08 a 0ºC (p>0,05). No hubo diferencias significativas en el lactato capilar.Conclusiones: Se concluye que no existen diferencias significativas entre las tres condiciones, aunque parece que la temperatura ambiental y la fría se asemejan en los resultados y la temperatura calor ofrece una ligera desventaja al respecto

Cuestiones prácticas sobre la expropiación forzosa

Treball Final del Màster Universitari en Advocacia. Codi: SRJ010. Curs acadèmic 2019-2020Este trabajo trata de exponer una serie de cuestiones prácticas referentes al justiprecio en la expropiación forzosa. En este sentido, comienza el trabajo comentando a grandes rasgos qué fundamenta la existencia del justiprecio y su equiparación a la indemnización dentro del proceso expropiatorio. Una vez expuesto esto, trataré de comentar de acuerdo a la Ley de Expropiación Forzosa, diferentes métodos valorativos del justiprecio. Otra cuestión que trata este trabajo, es la figura del obligado al pago del justiprecio, y para ello se analiza una sentencia del Tribunal Supremo que no deja dudas de quién ha de hacerse cargo de dicho pago si el beneficiario entra en concurso de acreedores. Y por último se analizan los medios existentes a la hora de replantear el justiprecio, así como una breve reseña sobre el Jurado de Expropiación

Seasonal grouping dynamics in a territorial vulture: ecological drivers and social consequences

Despite widespread occurrence of seasonal sociality among animals, little is still known about the social drivers and populationlevel social implications of seasonal grouping behaviours, especially in birds. Here, we studied the combined effects of ecological and social factors on seasonal grouping patterns in a sedentary population of Egyptian vultures living on the Eastern Canary Islands. We focussed on the social significance of large-scale gatherings taking place outside the breeding season at a highly preferred feeding station and a nearby temporary roost. Group sizes at this feeding patch followed a strong seasonal pattern characterized by distinct monthly changes in group composition, according to sex, age and territorial status. In between reproductive periods, vulture numbers at the feeding station may reach up 50% of the total population on a single day. GPS-tracking showed that this increase in vulture numbers was in part due to a shift in foraging range towards the centre of Fuerteventura by low-ranked territorial birds breeding in remote areas. During this period, vultures may spend on average 30% of their monthly time in a social gatherings context, depending on social status. We show that seasonal grouping patterns are shaped by the complex interplay between ecological factors (reproductive constraints, resource seasonality, food predictability), age-specific traits and social competitive processes, while social attraction may be an important additional component. We propose that for facultative social foragers living in highly despotic territorial systems, collective foraging may be of particular relevance regarding the development of hierarchical social relations and maintenance of population-level social cohesionTvO received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement no. “SocForVul 659008During writing, LG was supported by a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship of the European Commission (grant number: 747729 “EcoEvoClim”)MG-A was supported by a contract from “Programa de FPU del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte” (FPU13/05429)The long-term monitoring of the vulture population has been funded by the projects REN 2000–1556 GLO, CGL2004-00270/BOS, CGL2009-12753-C02-02, CGL2012-40013-C02-01 and CGL2015-66966-C2-1-2-R (Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and EU/FEDER)Further support was provided by the Cabildo Insular de Fuerteventura and the Dirección General de Protección de la Naturaleza (Viceconsejería de Medio Ambiente, Canarian Government)

Root economics spectrum and construction costs in Mediterranean woody plants: the role of symbiotic associations and the environment

[EN] Many studies have quantified the functional variation of fine root traits to understand the overarching trade-off between maximizing resource acquisition or conservation (root economics spectrum [RES]). However, we know remarkably less on how plant strategies along the RES are actually constrained by the amount of photosynthates required to construct roots (i.e. construction costs, CC) or how below-ground interactions with symbiotic organisms modify root trait patterns and their relationships with CC. Our main aim was to quantify CC of fine roots (<2 mm) and their underlying components (carbon, minerals and organic nitrogen concentrations) in 60 Mediterranean woody species with contrasting symbiotic association types (ectomycorrhizas, arbuscular and ericoid mycorrhizas and N-fixing bacteria). We examined (a) whether the covariation among fine root traits along the RES was related to the intrinsic cost of producing roots and whether this relationship was dependent on the type of root symbiosis; (b) whether the relationship of each CC component with the RES was dependent on the type of root symbiosis and (c) whether soil water and nutrient availability determined differences in CC across sites. According to the RES hypothesis, fine root traits showed a main covariation trend (acquisition vs. conservation), defined by the first PCA axis, which also segregated species by their two main contrasting symbiotic types (arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal). We found a positive relationship between root CC and the RES (i.e. PCA axis 1) and, interestingly, slopes differed among symbiotic types, in response to the different role of each specific CC component. In addition, independently of symbiotic type, root CC decreased linearly with soil nutrient availability and quadratically with plant water availability. Synthesis. Our study demonstrates that woody plants display different functional strategies in their root CC, related with their position on the RES, and that CC differ among symbiotic groups. The influence of the root CC components across species varied among symbiotic associations, pointing to a trade-off between structural and metabolic compounds. Root CC were also strongly modulated by soil resource availability (nutrients and water). This study highlights that root CC are fundamental to better understand below-ground resource-use strategiesSISpanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, Grant/Award Number: CGL2017-82254- R- INTARSU and CGL2014-53236- R; Seneca Foundation, Grant/Award Number: 20654/ JLI/18; Junta de Andalucía, Grant/Award Number: For-Change UCO-27943 and P18-RT- 3455; European Regional Development Fund (ERDF

AI-Enhanced evaluation of YouTube content on post-surgical incontinence following pelvic cancer treatment

[Abstract] Background: Several pelvic area cancers exhibit high incidence rates, and their surgical treatment can result in adverse effects such as urinary and fecal incontinence, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. Post-surgery incontinence is a significant concern, with prevalence rates ranging from 25 to 45% for urinary incontinence and 9-68% for fecal incontinence. Cancer survivors are increasingly turning to YouTube as a platform to connect with others, yet caution is warranted as misinformation is prevalent. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the information quality in YouTube videos about post-surgical incontinence after pelvic area cancer surgery. Methods: A YouTube search for "Incontinence after cancer surgery" yielded 108 videos, which were subsequently analyzed. To evaluate these videos, several quality assessment tools were utilized, including DISCERN, GQS, JAMA, PEMAT, and MQ-VET. Statistical analyses, such as descriptive statistics and intercorrelation tests, were employed to assess various video attributes, including characteristics, popularity, educational value, quality, and reliability. Also, artificial intelligence techniques like PCA, t-SNE, and UMAP were used for data analysis. HeatMap and Hierarchical Clustering Dendrogram techniques validated the Machine Learning results. Results: The quality scales presented a high level of correlation one with each other (p < 0.01) and the Artificial Intelligence-based techniques presented clear clustering representations of the dataset samples, which were reinforced by the Heat Map and Hierarchical Clustering Dendrogram. Conclusions: YouTube videos on "Incontinence after Cancer Surgery" present a "High" quality across multiple scales. The use of AI tools, like PCA, t-SNE, and UMAP, is highlighted for clustering large health datasets, improving data visualization, pattern recognition, and complex healthcare analysis
