    Treballs Finals del M脿ster en Relaxaci贸, Meditaci贸 i Mindfulness, Institut de Ci猫ncies de l'Educaci贸, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2017-2018, Tutora: Mar Ariza[spa] El dolor es una experiencia sensorial y emocional compleja que var铆a ampliamente entre las personas seg煤n el contexto, el significado del dolor y el estado psicol贸gico de la persona. Los m茅todos o tradiciones de relajaci贸n, meditaci贸n y mindfulness hacen uso de las habilidades psicocorporales b谩sicas de atenci贸n, respiraci贸n, relajaci贸n, visualizaci贸n, voz y habla, consciencia sensorial, postura, movimiento, y consciencia de energ铆a, el entreno de las cuales desarrolla habilidades meditativas especiales de flow, centramiento, silencio mental, conciencia corporal y mindfulness. Estudios con dolor agudo y cr贸nico demuestran que la meditaci贸n consciente aumenta la tolerancia al dolor. Y la neuroimagen muestra que los meditadores reducen la actividad en 谩reas cognitivas y emocionales cuando se les aplica un est铆mulo doloroso. En nuestro sistema de salud no existen programas que integren las habilidades Remind para el control del dolor y el alivio del sufrimiento. Nuestro objetivo fue desarrollar un programa de relajaci贸n, meditaci贸n y mindfulness para el control del dolor. A trav茅s de la Investigaci贸n Basada en la Pr谩ctica (IBP), se realiz贸 un primer ciclo de una Investigaci贸n-Acci贸n (IA) para dise帽ar el programa en el que se entrenaron las nueve habilidades Remind b谩sicas en 6 participantes con dolor subagudo. Los resultados de las escalas EVA, MAAS y MAIA se usaron para complementar el estudio cualitativo de una sola participante, con t茅cnicas observacionales propias de la Investigaci贸n Cualitativa (IC), como el diario de campo y la entrevista semiestructurada. El an谩lisis cualitativo muestra que el programa ha favorecido que la participante iniciara un cambio de modo de vida (del modo hacer, autom谩tico, al modo ser) a trav茅s de la apertura de conciencia hacia sus emociones, pensamientos y sensaciones, lo cual le facilita una percepci贸n del dolor m谩s ligera.[eng] Pain is a complex sensory and emotional experience that changes with people depending on the context, the meaning of the pain and the psychological state of the individual. The methods and techniques of relaxation, meditation and mindfulness use the basic psycho-corporal skills of attention, breathing, relaxation, visualization, voice and speech, sensory awareness, posture, movement and consciousness of energy, which training develops special meditative skills of flow, mental silence, centring, body awareness and mindfulness. Studies with acute and chronic pain show that meditation increases tolerance to pain. Neuroimaging studies show that meditators reduce activity in cognitive and emotional areas when a painful stimulus is applied. In our health system there are no programs that integrate Remind skills for the control of pain and the alleviation of suffering. Our goal is to develop a relaxation, meditation and attention program for controlling pain. Through the Practice-Based Research, a first cycle of an Action Research was conducted to design the program in which the nine basic Remind skills were trained in 6 participants with subacute pain. The results of the EVA, MAAS and MAIA scales are used to complement the qualitative study of a single participant, with observational techniques characteristic of Qualitative Research (QI), such as the field diary and the semi-structured interview. The qualitative analysis of the participant shows the benefit of the help for the change of way of life, through an opening of conscience towards the emotions, thoughts and sensations, that facilitates a perception of lighter pain

    Sirtuin 1 regulation of developmental genes during differentiation of stem cells

    The longevity-promoting NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylase Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is involved in stem cell function by controlling cell fate decision and/or by regulating the p53-dependent expression of NANOG. We show that SIRT1 is down-regulated precisely during human embryonic stem cell differentiation at both mRNA and protein levels and that the decrease in Sirt1 mRNA is mediated by a molecular pathway that involves the RNA-binding protein HuR and the arginine methyltransferase coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1). SIRT1 down-regulation leads to reactivation of key developmental genes such as the neuroretinal morphogenesis effectors DLL4, TBX3, and PAX6, which are epigenetically repressed by this histone deacetylase in pluripotent human embryonic stem cells. Our results indicate that SIRT1 is regulated during stem cell differentiation in the context of a yet-unknown epigenetic pathway that controls specific developmental genes in embryonic stem cells
