    El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar las medidas de bioseguridad que aplica el personal de laboratorio clínico en la atención al paciente en el Hospital del Niño Dr. Francisco de Icaza Bustamante. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional, transversal y prospectivo, identificándose las barreras protectoras que emplea el personal de laboratorio clínico y el manejo de los desechos hospitalarios mediante una guía de observación del accionar del personal. La observación se realizó durante 8 semanas en las que se evaluó el desempeño de cada uno de los 29 trabajadores al menos 4 días. Se aplicó además un cuestionario que permitió recoger información sobre la inmunización activa del personal y la frecuencia de capacitaciones recibidas. Los resultados mostraron que el personal hace un uso correcto de la mascarilla en sus labores cotidianas, pero desarrolla una insuficiente práctica de la higiene de manos, así como incumplimientos en el uso de la bata quirúrgica, los guantes y el protector facial, siendo factores importantes de estos problemas la insuficiente capacitación y el limitado acceso que tiene el trabajador de la salud a los elementos de protección personal que brinda la institución. Finalmente, se observó un adecuado manejo de los desechos hospitalarios

    This study aimed to analyze the level of knowledge about first aid in basic education teachers among two educational institutions in Portoviejo. This was developed with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, and analytical approach in a population of 13 teachers from a public school and eight from a private institution (21 in total). Data was collected using a validated survey that measured four dimensions—concerning knowledge about first aid, a predominance of those who had not received training (86%), and those who stated they were motivated to learn (85%). Those who attached importance to their professional performance (78.35%) was determined. Most of the teachers evaluated had insufficient knowledge about first aid, requiring preparation. In addition, there was no association between these and self-perception in this regard in the research context.El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el nivel de conocimientos sobre primeros auxilios en docentes de educación básica de dos instituciones educativas de la ciudad de Portoviejo.

Los datos se recopilaron mediante una encuesta validada que midió cuatro dimensiones. Con respecto al conocimiento sobre primeros auxilios, se determinó un predominio de aquellos que no habían recibido capacitación (86%), los que manifestaron tener motivación para aprender (85%) y los que le concedieron importancia para su desempeño profesional (78,35%). La mayoría de los docentes evaluados tenía insuficiente nivel de conocimiento sobre primeros auxilios, precisando preparación al respecto; además, no existió asociación entre estos y la autopercepción al respecto en el contexto de investigación

    Se evalúa el efecto de dos colorantes en la esferificación inversa de un modelo de coctel. Se obtienen esferas a partir de disoluciones de alginato de sodio, alginato de sodio + colorante Sunset yellow y alginato de sodio + colorante rojo Ponceau 4R, con proporciones de 0.6% m/v de alginato y 1.66% m/v de lactato de calcio; se pudieron incorporar ambos colorantes hasta una concentración de 0.15% m/v. Las disoluciones de alginato evidencian un comportamiento newtoniano con adecuada viscosidad y pueden conservarse entre 4 y 6 ºC durante 28 días sin afectación del color. Las esferas se evalúan sensorialmente en la categoría “buena” y el tipo de colorante no influyó de manera significativa en la sinéresis hasta los 10 min de preparadas

    Ski Lesions Around the Knee: A Literature Review

    Get PDF
    Ski is a popular sports practiced worldwide although it is considered a high-risk sports with high incidence of injuries. A common place for injuries is the knee, with a wide range from knee sprains to complex ligamentous injuries to fractures. In this chapter, we made a search in PubMed using the words “knee” and “ski.” Later, we selected those articles according to the inclusion criteria. When reviewing the literature, we found that the most common place for a ski-related injury is the knee, with knee sprains and ACL lesions being the most common diagnosis in the latter years with a decreasing incidence of tibia fractures. We could also analyze the risk factors different authors have found, for professional athletes and for recreational skiers. In conclusion, the ACL lesion in the skier presents a high incidence, which suggests an effort should be made to prevent it

    Introduction of the Problem-based learning methodology in the teaching of Legal Veterinary

    Full text link
    [ES] El aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP) es una estrategia de enseñanza centrada en el alumno, que adquirirá conceptos complejos llevando a la práctica conocimientos previos sobre una disciplina concreta. En el campo de la Veterinaria Legal, el peritaje forense forma parte central de los conocimientos que el alumno debe adquirir. Desde el curso 2010/2011, los alumnos de Veterinaria de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, realizan un peritaje forense mediante ABP. Los alumnos, divididos en grupos de 6-8 individuos, trabajan un problema desde dos puntos de vista diferentes: el del demandado y el del demandante. Durante el proceso, los alumnos son tutorizados y las dos posturas se enfrentan en el aula para defender su postura, donde el profesor ejerce de juez, y el resto de compañeros de jurado. La actividad es valorada con 1-3 puntos. Durante 5 cursos, un total de 275 alumnos han realizado la actividad, con el 50,91% de los alumnos obteniendo la máxima calificación.  Los  alumno[EN] Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational  strategy  centered  on  the student, who will acquire complex concepts being implemented prior knowledge about a particular discipline. In the field of  Legal  Veterinary,  forensic  expertise is a central part of the knowledge that students must acquire. Since 2010/2011, veterinary students from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, complete a  forensic  expertise  through  PBL.  The students, separated in two groups of 6-8 subjects, work on a problem from two different points of view: defendant and claimant. During the process, students are tutored and the two positions facing in the classroom to defend their point. At that time, the teacher acts as judge, and the rest of students act as jury. the activity is assessed with 1-3 points. For 5 courses, a total of 275 students have completed the activity, with 50.91% of students obtaining the  highest  qualification.  Students  are satisfied with the activity.

    Sampling Scarab Beetles in Tropical Forests: The Effect of Light Source and Night Sampling Periods

    Get PDF
    Light traps have been used widely to sample insect abundance and diversity, but their performance for sampling scarab beetles in tropical forests based on light source type and sampling hours throughout the night has not been evaluated. The efficiency of mercury-vapour lamps, cool white light and ultraviolet light sources in attracting Dynastinae, Melolonthinae and Rutelinae scarab beetles, and the most adequate period of the night to carry out the sampling was tested in different forest areas of Costa Rica. Our results showed that light source wavelengths and hours of sampling influenced scarab beetle catches. No significant differences were observed in trap performance between the ultraviolet light and mercury-vapour traps, whereas these two methods caught significantly more species richness and abundance than cool white light traps. Species composition also varied between methods. Large differences appear between catches in the sampling period, with the first five hours of the night being more effective than the last five hours. Because of their high efficiency and logistic advantages, we recommend ultraviolet light traps deployed during the first hours of the night as the best sampling method for biodiversity studies of those scarab beetles in tropical forests
