TRATAMIENTO MULTIMODAL CON HIPNOSIS EN EL ESTADO DEPRESIVO EN TRASTORNOS DE ADAPTACIÓN

Hypnosis is a medical procedure that has accompanied man since primitive stages, and in the last 50 years its study and practice has gained more space within the field of Psychology. In the Psychiatry service of the Manuel Fajardo Rivero Hospital, Villa Clara, Cuba different diseases are treated through the use of this technique. Taking into account the results achieved in emotional disorders and the high incidence of adjustment disorders, where depression is one of the most frequent clinical syndromes, this research was aimed at conducting an explanatory study with a quantitative approach, with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of multimodal treatment with hypnosis in the attenuation of the depressive state in adjustment disorders, in the period from January to October 2017. The sample was selected in a non-probabilistic, intentional way, being made up of 20 patients, in ages between 18 and 35 years old. Documentary review, clinical interview, Beck's inventory and the depression evaluation scale by specialists were used. The patients evaluated presented before starting the multimodal treatment a depressive state with a predominance of thought and somatic symptoms. After treatment, the initial depressive state was not confirmed. The main manifestations that formed a depressive state before starting treatment were greater in intensity and frequency than those present at the end of it, not presenting indicators of depressive nosological identity.La hipnosis es un proceder médico que ha acompañado al hombre desde etapas primitivas, en los últimos 50 años su estudio y práctica ha ganado mayor espacio dentro del campo de la Psicología.

Se empleó la revisión documental, entrevista clínica, inventario de Beck y la escala de evaluación de la depresión por especialistas. Los pacientes evaluados presentaron antes de iniciar el tratamiento multimodal un estado depresivo con predominio de síntomas de pensamientos y somáticos. Posterior al tratamiento no se constató el estado depresivo inicial. Las manifestaciones principales que conformaron un estado depresivo antes de iniciar el tratamiento eran mayores en intensidad y frecuencia que las presentes al concluir el mismo, no presentando indicadores de identidad nosológica depresiva

Embriogénesis somática en el cv. Navolean a partir de ápices de brotes de yemas axilares

In order to develop embryogenic cultures in AAB Musa genotypes without persistent male inflorescence, the process has had greater success from proliferating meristems for callus formation with embryogenic structures. Based on the previous information, other alternative explant sources for somatic embryogenesis development in cv. Navolean. Meristematic apexes were cultured in p5 culture medium supplemented with thidiazuron and ancymidol (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, mg.l-1) to obtain axillary buds. Later, axillary buds and proliferated meristems were tested for callus induction with embryogenic structures combinations with different 2,4-D concentrations. The best growth regulator for obtaining axillary buds was ancymidol (0.2 mg.l-1). For callus formation with embryogenic structures, axillary buds at 1.0 mg.l-1 2,4-D provided a higher percentage (13.6%). These results permitted the development of embryogenic cell suspensions from somatic embryos.Key words: Ancymidol, embryogenic cell suspension, plantainEl desarrollo de cultivos embriogénicos en los genotipos AAB de Musa, que no poseen inflorescencia masculina persistente, ha tenido mayor éxito a partir de multiyemas para la formación de los callos con estructuras embriogénicas pero esto pudiera incrementar la variación somaclonal. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior se trabajó en la determinación de otra fuente de explante inicial alternativa para el desarrollo de la embriogénesis somática en el cultivar objeto de estudio. Se cultivaron brotes axilares en el medio de cultivo P5 suplementado con tidiazuron y ancimidol (0.2; 0.4; 0.6 mg.l-1 cada uno por separado) para lograr la brotación de yemas axilares. Posteriormente para formar los callos con estructuras embriogénicas se colocaron los ápices de brotes obtenidos de yemas axilares en un medio de cultivo ZZ con diferentes concentraciones de 2,4-D. El mejor regulador del crecimiento para la brotación de yemas axilares fue el ancimidol (0.2 mg.l-1). Para la formación de callos con estructuras embriogénicas, la concentración de 1.0 mg.l-1 de 2,4-D propiciaron el mayor porcentaje (13.6%). A partir de los embriones somáticos producidos se logró el establecimiento de suspensiones celulares embriogénicas. Se demostró que es posible el desarrollo de la embriogénesis somática en el cv. Navolean no solo a partir de scalps de multiyemas.Palabras clave: ancimidol, plátanos, suspensiones celulares embriogénica

BUILDING BRIDGES FOR INNOVATION IN AGEING : SYNERGIES BETWEEN ACTION GROUPS OF THE EIP ON AHA

The Strategic Implementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) proposed six Action Groups. After almost three years of activity, many achievements have been obtained through commitments or collaborative work of the Action Groups. However, they have often worked in silos and, consequently, synergies between Action Groups have been proposed to strengthen the triple win of the EIP on AHA. The paper presents the methodology and current status of the Task Force on EIP on AHA synergies. Synergies are in line with the Action Groups' new Renovated Action Plan (2016-2018) to ensure that their future objectives are coherent and fully connected. The outcomes and impact of synergies are using the Monitoring and Assessment Framework for the EIP on AHA (MAFEIP). Eight proposals for synergies have been approved by the Task Force: Five cross-cutting synergies which can be used for all current and future synergies as they consider overarching domains (appropriate polypharmacy, citizen empowerment, teaching and coaching on AHA, deployment of synergies to EU regions, Responsible Research and Innovation), and three cross-cutting synergies focussing on current Action Group activities (falls, frailty, integrated care and chronic respiratory diseases).Peer reviewe

Search for new physics in multijet events with at least one photon and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV

A search for new physics in final states consisting of at least one photon, multiple jets, and large missing transverse momentum is presented, using proton-proton collision events at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1, recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC from 2016 to 2018. The events are divided into mutually exclusive bins characterized by the missing transverse momentum, the number of jets, the number of b-tagged jets, and jets consistent with the presence of hadronically decaying W, Z, or Higgs bosons. The observed data are found to be consistent with the prediction from standard model processes. The results are interpreted in the context of simplified models of pair production of supersymmetric particles via strong and electroweak interactions. Depending on the details of the signal models, gluinos and squarks of masses up to 2.35 and 1.43 TeV, respectively, and electroweakinos of masses up to 1.23 TeV are excluded at 95% confidence level

Observation of Same-Sign WW Production from Double Parton Scattering in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s = 13 TeV

The first observation of the production of W±W± bosons from double parton scattering processes using same-sign electron-muon and dimuon events in proton-proton collisions is reported. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb−1 recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. Multivariate discriminants are used to distinguish the signal process from the main backgrounds. A binned maximum likelihood fit is performed to extract the signal cross section. The measured cross section for production of same-sign W bosons decaying leptonically is 80.7±11.2(stat) +9.5−8.6(syst)±12.1(model)  fb, whereas the measured fiducial cross section is 6.28±0.81(stat)±0.69(syst)±0.37(model)  fb. The observed significance of the signal is 6.2 standard deviations above the background-only hypothesis

Performance of the local reconstruction algorithms for the CMS hadron calorimeter with Run 2 data

A description is presented of the algorithms used to reconstruct energy deposited in the CMS hadron calorimeter during Run 2 (2015–2018) of the LHC. During Run 2, the characteristic bunch-crossing spacing for proton-proton collisions was 25 ns, which resulted in overlapping signals from adjacent crossings. The energy corresponding to a particular bunch crossing of interest is estimated using the known pulse shapes of energy depositions in the calorimeter, which are measured as functions of both energy and time. A variety of algorithms were developed to mitigate the effects of adjacent bunch crossings on local energy reconstruction in the hadron calorimeter in Run 2, and their performance is compared
