    En MENTORAC UMA se realizaron 17 talleres de enriquecimiento desde febrero a junio de 2014, dirigidos a alumnado de entre 14 y 17 años, identificado con altas capacidades intelectuales (ACIs). Las actividades fueron desarrolladas por 16 profesores universitarios, que actuaron de mentores. Al finalizar el programa en septiembre de 2014, se reunió a las familias de los 90 alumnos participantes y se diseñó ad hoc el Cuestionario de Valoración para familias Mentorac (CVF-M), para medir diferentes dimensiones como la satisfacción con el programa, el beneficio escolar, el aumento de la motivación académica, o el grado de confort intelectual y personal del alumnado asistente, entre otros aspectos. Los resultados muestran un alto grado de satisfacción general con el programa. Se presentan y discuten los beneficios que, según los padres y madres, han obtenido los alumnos asistentes, así como los aspectos de mejora que solicitaron las familias encuestadas.universidad de malaga, campus de excelencia inetrnacional andalucia tec

    En el presente estudio se comparó la técnica de inmunoperoxidasa para la detección de citomegalovirus (IPCMV) utilizando anticuerpos monoclonales que reconocen proteínas precoces virales con el método convencional de aislamiento viral en fibroblastos humanos. Un total de 150 muestras de orina fueron examinadas encontrando una sensibilidad de un 89.8% y una especificidad de 91.3% de la técnica de IPCMV comparada con el aislamiento viral. Una de las ventajas que presentó la IPCMV fue la rapidez con que fueron obtenidos los resultados (48 horas) mientras que el aislamiento viral fue como promedio 14 días.An Immunoperoxidase assay was applied to detect early antigens of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in 150 urine samples from immunocompromised patients, using the commercial available monoclonal antibody against CMV El3. The detection of early antigen by IP (IPCMV) is compared to the conventional cell culture isolation regarding specificity and sensitivity in order to evaluate is usefulness in the diagnostic of CMV infections. The IPCMV showed a sensitivity of 89.8% and a specificity of 91.3% when compared to the isolation method. The great advantage of the IPCMV is based on the shorter time results are achieved, since 48-72 Hs can be enough to provide evidence of CMV infection, while in the isolation technique cytopatho-genic effect was present around 14 days after sample inoculation

    We have standardized an indirect ultramicro ELISA assay for detecting antibodies to human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) using human serum samples (UMELISA CMV). The optimal concentration of coating antigen (30 ug/ml), serum dilution (1:40) and anti-human conjugate working dilution (1:1500), were determined by a check board titration method. The UMELISA CMV was compared with the latex agglutination test for antibodies to CMV (Dupont de Nemours) and with an indiret immunofluorescent method. The results have showed the high coincidence, sensitivity and especificity of the proposed assay regarding the two methods compared with, and supporting its use either for a blood donors screening or in the serological diagnosis of this infection by paired serum samples.Se normalizó un ultramicroELISA indirecto para la detección de anticuerpos a Citomegalovirus (CMV) humano (UMELISA CMV). Se determinó la concentración óptima de antígeno en 30 ug/ml, la dilución de los sueros fue de 1:40 y la dilución de trabajo del conjugado fue de 1:1500. El UMELISA CMV fue comparado con las técnicas de aglutinación de latex para anticuerpos anti-CMV (Dupont de Neumors) y la inmunofluorescencia indirecta (EFT). Los resultados mostraron un alto grado de concordancia y elevada copositividad y conegatividad del UMELISA con respecto a estos dos ensayos. El método es válido para el pesquisaje de anticuerpos en banco de sangre asi como para el diagnóstico de la infección mediante sueros pareados

    IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for prehospital emergency care in different countries.ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to identify the variables associated with psychiatric calls to the Prehospital Emergency Care Services (PECS) in the province of Malaga.MethodAn observational retrospective study based on calls made to the PECS and registered in the computerized database of the Coordination Emergency Centre during one year (N = 163 331). Independent variables included 1. sociodemographic variables: sex and age; and 2. variables related with the characteristics of each call: time of day, type of day, time of year, caller identification, number of resources needed, number of patients attended and type of solution. The x(2) test was used to compare of the variables. A multivariant logistic regression analysis was also carried out.ResultsPsychiatric calls accounted for 7% of the total calls and were associated with: younger age, female gender, calls made in the evenings and afternoons, a lower number of patients attended, the call being performed by other individual calling on the patient's behalf, and no ambulance transportation.Discussion and conclusionThe calls concerned with mental health problems have specific characteristics which need to be taken into account in order to provide a better care for psychiatric patients

    COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative. A first update on mapping the human genetic architecture of COVID-19

    The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a major public health threat, especially in countries with low vaccination rates. To better understand the biological underpinnings of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 severity, we formed the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative1. Here we present a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of up to 125,584 cases and over 2.5 million control individuals across 60 studies from 25 countries, adding 11 genome-wide significant loci compared with those previously identified2. Genes at new loci, including SFTPD, MUC5B and ACE2, reveal compelling insights regarding disease susceptibility and severity.</p
