El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el cumplimiento del llenado de las Hojas de la Historia Clínica Perinatal (HCP) de las pacientes atendidas en el Hospital Bertha Calderón Roque, Managua en el I semestre del año 2012 y el I semestre del año 2013. El presente estudio es descriptivo y de corte transversal. El universo y la muestra lo constituyen 10,093 mujeres embarazadas registradas en el Sistema Informático Perinatal, SIP del Hospital Bertha Calderón Roque, en el periodo de estudio (5,134 en el primer semestre del 2012 y 4, 959 en el primer semestre del 2013) Para la obtención de la información se solicitó la base de datos del SIP, donde se registraron las Hojas de las Historias Clínicas Perinatales de las pacientes egresadas del servicio de maternidad en el periodo de estudio. Resultados: durante el 1er semestre de 2012 de 5134 HCP de 8 variables 3 clasifican con un buen llenado, 2 regular y 3 malas, donde la variable más llenada en este periodo fue datos del puerperio con 98.2% y la menos llenada fue gestación actual 42.6%, para el primer semestre de 2013 de 4959 HCP de las 8 variables 3 clasifican como buenas, 4 regular y 1 malas, donde la variable más llenada fue igualmente puerperio con 98.6% y la menos llenada fue igualmente gestación actual con 68.7%. Conclusiones. A nivel global la calidad del llenado de las HCPB en el I semestre del 2012 fue buena en más del 60.0% de los casos y en el mismo periodo 2013, mejoro a más del 70.0%. A nivel de los componentes de la HCPB, los que alcanzaron los mejores resultados fueron los de antecedentes y datos patronímicos, seguidos de los datos del parto aborto y recién nacidos en ambos semestres. Los peores resultados del llenado, fue para el componente de la gestación actual en el I semestre del 2012, aunque mejoro sustantivamente en el 2013. Se recomendó Instar al personal de salud a llenar completamente y a su debido momento la HCP, como estrategia importante para la posterior toma de decisiones de los otros facultativos que forman parte del equipo de salu

Implicación del estudiante de postgrado en el proceso de evaluación de su aprendizaje

Podeu consultar la Vuitena trobada de professorat de Ciències de la Salut completa a: http://hdl.handle.net/2445/66524La asignatura "Fonaments d’Immunología" del Máster Oficial Interuniversitario URV-UB en Nutrición y Metabolismo es cursada anualmente por unos 20-30 estudiantes. El hecho de tratarse de un grupo reducido permite implementar metodologías que ayuden a promover un aprendizaje más significativo y, entre ellas, la implicación del estudiante en el proceso de evaluación de los conocimientos adquiridos. El objetivo de la presente innovación consistió precisamente en implicar al estudiante en el diseño de una de las propias pruebas de evaluación así como de valorar los trabajos de sus compañeros y el suyo propio. Concretamente, los estudiantes del curso 2014/15 tenían que escoger una técnica inmunológica, lo que les permitía aplicar los conocimientos impartidos en el curso, y desarrollarla en parejas en forma de presentación. Además se les solicitó que elaboraran preguntas test sobre el contenido trabajado. La puntuación de la prueba de evaluación consistió en la valoración de la presentación y en una prueba escrita tipo test sobre todas las exposiciones realizadas. Para calificar las presentaciones, cada estudiante valoró las de los compañeros (corrección por iguales) y la suya propia (autoevaluación) mediante una rúbrica de tres categorías, idéntica a la que utilizó el profesor. Por otra parte, el equipo docente seleccionó varias preguntas de los estudiantes. Las mejores fueron utilizadas para la prueba tipo test, mientras que las de menor claridad, fueron comentadas en clase para aprender de sus errores o problemas de ambigüedad. Se obtuvieron indicadores cualitativos sobre la estrategia docente mediante una encuesta de opinión. Éstos indican que los estudiantes han adquirido consciencia de la importancia de las rúbricas para una evaluación objetiva y de la dificultad en la elaboración de preguntas test, así como del aprendizaje adquirido durante su preparación. Por otra parte, los estudiantes se han mostrado muy satisfechos con la utilidad e interés suscitado, así como de la experiencia globalmente (puntuaciones superiores a 8,5 sobre 10 en todos los casos)

Second International Congress on Chocolate and Cocoa in Medicine Held in Barcelona, Spain, 25-26th September 2015.

In order to further our understanding of, and disseminate the latest findings on the healthy properties of cocoa and chocolate, the International Society of Chocolate and Cocoa in Medicine (ISCHOM) was founded in 2010 in Florence (http://ischom.com/ischom/). This Society aims to gather information and become a forum of discussion and debate on cocoa and chocolate, not only among researchers from around the world, but also to introduce the science involved and the latest findings to the public. Cultural and educational promotion of the benefits of cocoa and chocolate on human health is another of the Society's major concerns. Finally, ISCHOM provides information on developing healthy habits regarding the inclusion of cocoa and chocolate in our diet. In this context, after the first congress in Florence in 2014, ISCHOM held its second meeting in Barcelona, Spain, on 25 and 26 September 2015 (https://www.eiseverywhere.com/ehome/117409/263536/). By means of these annual meetings, the Society pursues the constant sharing and updating of current knowledge concerning the health properties of cocoa and chocolate. The event not only brings together international researchers, but also diverse companies in order to strengthen the knowledge in this field. About 90 delegates from 12 different countries attended the Society's second congress. It was organized into five scientific sessions with two lectures each. The sessions that took place in Barcelona were focused on different topics in order to shed some light on a wide range of valuable effects of chocolate and cocoa on our health. Some of the issues discussed were the role of chocolate and cocoa as cardioprotective agents and its health claims, their effects on metabolism and their own metabolism; the possible role of cocoa as a preventive therapy for diabetes and allergies; its influence on microbiota; and the beneficial effects of cocoa on the nervous system. The opening session outlined the scientific thought on this matter spiced with wit. The congress also included a special session focused on heritage and innovation in chocolate that delighted the audience. Furthermore, two discussion sessions of oral communications also took place. The first session related to assessing the intake of cocoa and its effect, the relationship between cocoa flavanols, cognitive performance and cerebral blood flow; and the effect of other bioactive compounds of cocoa, methylxanthines such as theobromine, and their outcomes on rat lymphoid tissues were ascertained. The second oral communication discussion session concerned the assessment of the antioxidant capacity and polyphenol content of different varieties of cocoa, how cocoa intake improves hepatic lipid metabolism in rats, and how flavanols present in cocoa may confer benefits by diminishing brain damage caused by strokes in mice. In addition, the poster session was exhibited during the entire congress showing state-of-the-art research about chocolate and cocoa in medicine for all the attendants

Introducing the Catalytic Amination of Silanes via Nitrene Insertion

The direct functionalization of Si−H bonds by the nitrene insertion methodology is described. A copper(I) complex bearing a trispyrazolylborate ligand catalyzes the transfer of a nitrene group from PhINTs to the Si−H bond of silanes, disilanes, and siloxanes, leading to the exclusive formation of Si−NH moieties in the first example of this transformation. The process tolerates other functionalities in the substrate such as several C−H bonds and alkyne and alkene moieties directly bonded to the silicon center. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide a mechanistic interpretation consisting of a Si−H homolytic cleavage and subsequent rebound to the Si-centered radical.We thank the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación for Grants PID2020-113797RB-C21, PID2020-112825RB-I00, and CEX2019-000925-S as well as FEDER for “Una manera de hacer Europa” funding.

Cocoa and Cocoa Fibre Intake Modulate Reactive Oxygen Species and Immunoglobulin Production in Rats Submitted to Acute Running Exercise

Acute high-intensity exercise can impair the immune system, and lead to oxidative stress. Cocoa intake might help in protecting against oxidative damage and impaired immune functioning. The aim of this study was to establish the effect of cocoa and cocoa fibre on the oxidative status and the immunoglobulin (Ig) production of rats following a bout of acute exercise on a treadmill. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by macrophages and the concentration of serum and mucosal Ig was assessed 16 h after the running session. Exercise increased ROS production and decreased the serum IgG concentration and the salivary gland IgM content. A cocoa fibre-enriched diet prevented the increased ROS production and the reduction in salivary IgM induced by exercise, although it decreased the IgA content in serum and the salivary glands. Overall, cocoa, by means of its fibre content, can partially prevent the alterations in ROS and Ig production induced by a single session of intensive running exercise

Performance, behaviour and meat quality of beef heifers fed concentrate and straw offered as total mixed ration or free-choice

Eighteen Simmental heifers were fed concentrate and barley straw offered as a total mixed ration (TMR) or separately as a free choice (FCH) to compare performance, behaviour, and meat quality. The heifers were assigned to treatments in a randomized complete block design. Animals were allotted to roofed pens with 3 animals per pen, and 3 pens per treatment. Intake of concentrate, average daily gain, and gain to feed ratio were not different between diets, being on average 7.6 kg/day, 1.38 kg/day and 0.18 kg/kg, respectively. Straw intake was greater in TMR than in FCH treatment (0.7 vs 0.3 kg/day, respectively; p<0.001). Crude protein intake, neutral detergent fibre intake and water consumption did not differ between treatments. Time spent eating was longer in FCH than in TMR (p=0.001), whereas time spent ruminating and total chewing time were longer (p<0.01) in TMR than in FCH. The number of displacements resulting from competition for feed in the main feeder in TMR treatment tended to be greater than in FCH treatment. There were no differences in the carcass characteristics and quality of meat of animals assigned to the different feeding methods, but the percentage of 18:2 n-6 was higher in FCH treatment. In summary, these results suggest that the use of TMR as a feeding method in beef cattle fed high concentrate diets did not affect performance and increased time spent ruminating with a potential decrease of ruminal acidosis incidence

A new Food Frequency Questionnaire to assess chocolate and cocoa consumption

Objective Cocoa has been highlighted as a food with potential benefits to human health because of its polyphenol content. However, few studies show the contribution of cocoa and chocolate products in polyphenol intake. The aim of this work was to develop a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for evaluating the intake of food products containing cocoa (C-FFQ). Methods A sample of 50 university students was recruited to complete the 90-item questionnaire, a validated questionnaire (called here European Food Safety Authority [EFSA]-Q) as well as a 24-hour dietary recall (24 HDR). Spearman correlation test, Bland-Altman plots, and quintile classification analysis were conducted together with the Wilcoxon test and descriptive statistics. Results Significant correlations between the C-FFQ and the EFSA-Q for the most common cocoa/chocolate products were observed (P < 0.05), as well as between data from the C-FFQ and 24 HDR (P < 0.05). However, a number of cocoa/chocolate products frequently consumed by the participants were detected by the C-FFQ and 24 HDR which were not included in the EFSA-Q. According to the C-FFQ, chocolate bars were the main source of cocoa in university students, but dairy products also provided an important amount of cocoa. Conclusion The developed C-FFQ questionnaire can be considered as a valid option for assessing the consumption frequency of cocoa/chocolate-derived products, thereby allowing the evaluation of cocoa polyphenol intake in further studies

Evaluation of the corrosion protection of steel by anodic processing in metasilicate solution using the scanning vibrating electrode technique

Anodic processing in metasilicate solution was investigated for the improvement of the corrosion resistance of various steels, namely F111 low alloy carbon and 304 stainless steels, as well as on galvanized steel cut edges. The efficiency of the prior electrochemical treatment for each material was tested during their exposure to naturally-aerated aqueous chloride solutions of different aggressiveness. Analysis was performed using the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) in order to detect local ionic current distributions over the samples under study associated to the corrosion reactions. The onset of corrosion processes were greatly inhibited after anodic processing with metasilicate on both the low alloy carbon steel and the galvanized steel cut edge. Conversely, SVET analysis of unbiased 304 steel samples tested in 0.1 M chloride-containing solution did not show differences between pristine and metasilicate-treated surfaces. Differences in the electrochemical reactivity between treated and non-treated 304 steel surfaces were only observed after partial removal of the corresponding passive layers under operator-controlled polarization

Informe final del projecte 2015PID-UB/040: Millora de la capacitat comunicativa: adaptació del registre al tipus de receptor

Projecte: 2015PID-UB/040L’objectiu del present projecte se centra en millorar la capacitat comunicativa del futur professional mitjançant el treball i la reflexió sobre el llenguatge a utilitzar per a dirigir-se a un professional del mateix àmbit o bé a un receptor no especialitzat (per exemple, un pacient). En el context de l'assignatura de “Fonaments d’Immunologia” del Màster URV-UB de Nutrició i Metabolisme, els estudiants han seleccionat un tema i treballat en equip els seus continguts. Els estudiants l’han presentat a classe emprant dos tipus de registre i detectant la terminologia adient en cada cas. L’avaluació de les presentacions s’ha realitzat, a més de pel professor, mitjançant correcció per iguals i autoavaluació. A més, per tal de dinamitzar les classes, els estudiants han realitzat a classe qüestionaris en línia amb els propis dispositius mòbils i han obtingut una retroacció immediata a través del seu dispositiu (utilitzant la plataforma Socrative). Aquestes estratègies docents han estat valorades pels estudiants per a conèixer el grau d’interès i d’aprofitament.Es preveia que els estudiants realitzessin una activitat formativa d’aquest tipus per aprendre no només els continguts del temari sinó que també la importància del tipus de llenguatge emprat en la comunicació. Els resultats assolits es corresponen amb els previstos inicialment ja que tant els indicadors quantitatius com qualitatius del projecte reflecteixen l’aprenentatge assolit i l’àmplia acceptació de l’activitat
