Estudio anatómico y planimétrico de los aneurismas de aorta abdominal

El aneurisma de aorta abdominal es una patología cuya incidencia está en aumento. Su principal complicación es la ruptura, que puede ocasionar la muerte del paciente. Por ello, cuando alcanzan un determinado tamaño (5 cm.), el paciente debe recibir tratamiento quirúrgico. Actualmente el tratamiento endovascular se ha consolidado frente a la cirugía abierta convencional. Para llevar a cabo la implantación de endoprótesis es fundamental conocer la morfología del aneurisma que se va a tratar. Este estudio lleva a cabo un estudio morfológico y planimétrico de dichos aneurismas con el fin de optimizar el tratamiento protésico endovascular.OtroGrado en Medicin

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain in the successive pandemic waves on hemodialysis patients and healthcare personnel

(1) Background: The impact of SARS-CoV-2 has been variable over the time course of the pandemic and in different populations. The aim was to analyze the impact of COVID-19 infection in a known population of hemodialysis (HD) patients and professionals in Spain at different times of the pandemic. (2) Methods: We conducted an observational, descriptive study with a follow-up from 3 March 2020 to 23 April 2022 (776 days), using in average of 414 professionals and 1381 patients from 18 HD units in Spain. The data from the positive PCR or the rapid antigen detection test (RADT) subject were analyzed and segmented into six periods (waves). (3) Results: Of 703 positive COVID-19 tests, 524 were HD patients (74.5%), and 179 were HD professionals (25.5%). Overall, 38% of staff and 43% of patients were affected. Differences were observed in regard to incidence (21% vs. 13%), mortality (3.5% vs. 0%), and symptomatology between the patients and professionals and throughout the pandemic. (4) Conclusions: COVID-19 severity varied during different pandemic waves, with a greater impact seen in the first wave. HD professionals and patients had similar infection rates, but patients had higher mortality rates. Community transmission was the primary route of infection.This research received was founded by Fundación Renal Íñigo Álvarez de Toledo (FRIAT).

Level of knowledge about oral cancer in Dentistry students from 3rd to 5th year

Foundation: the increasing trend to increase oral cancer, makes it necessary that basic knowledge of general dentistry professional include those which enable their timely diagnosis and treatment.Objective: to describe the level of knowledge about oral cancer of the 3rd, 4th and 5th year dentistry students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences Dr. Raúl Dorticós Torrado, Cienfuegos.Methods: cross-sectional descriptive correlation study conducted from October 2017 to April 2018. The sample consisted of 93 students selected randomly among the three chosen academic years. Level of knowledge was measured in three dimensions: oral cancer epidemiology, clinical treatment and prevention; through a survey designed by the authors, validated by a group of experts. The analysis was done in the SPSS program. Fisher statistical test was used to determine the relationship between the variables with a level of significance of p <0.05.Results: the highest percentage of students has a low level of knowledge regarding oral cancer. The dimension of knowledge with the best results was related to clinical characteristics and treatment; the lowest scores were related to prevention. A statistically significant relationship was found between the level of knowledge, the assistantship and the academic year in which students are at the moment.Conclusions: the students’ knowledge about oral cancer is deficient, so it is important to carry out future interventions for a better approach to the topic

Prevención del absentismo escolar

No PublicadaEl proyecto se llevó a cabo en el Centro Social Bellavista - Julio Blanco y en un aula que se habilitó en el poblado gitano de Cueto en Santander. Para su realización se contó con trece profesores del centro, una cocinera, una cuidadora de comedor, alumnos en prácticas, una asistente social, monjas y alumnos voluntarios de la Universidad de Cantabria. El objetivo final fue evitar el absentismo escolar en alumnos en edad de escolarización obligatoria garantizando así sus derechos. Para ello se realizó un análisis de las causas del absentismo y a partir de éste se elaboraron las estrategias de intervención. Éstas fueron el control de asistencia por la mañana, en el desayuno y comida así como en las actividades extraescolares. Los profesores y monitores se reunieron periódicamente llevando un seguimiento exhaustivo. Las actividades se desarrollaron según lo previsto también el programa de nutrición. La participación fue elevada tanto en los talleres de cocina, prensa, marquetería, y fotografía como en las actividades de música, guitarra, danza, dibujo, teatro, e informática .Gobierno de Cantabria.

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
