    Introducción: La lactancia materna es la acción natural de alimentar al bebé con leche producida por la madre, o por una madre sustituta que asuma ese papel, pero existen factores que la favorecen y la limitan. La leche materna es el primer alimento natural que proporciona al bebé energía y nutrientes necesarios durante los primeros meses, esta contribuye a la maduración neurológica, funcional del tracto gastrointestinal y renal, promueve desarrollo sensorial, cognitivo y desarrollo de los mecanismos de defensa inmunes, protegiendo al bebé de enfermedades e infecciones crónicas.Objetivo: Describir las limitaciones de la lactancia materna exclusiva, a partir de la revisión literaria de estudios de investigación en el período de 2005-2015.Materiales y métodos: El tipo de investigación fue una revisión documental integrativa no sistemática. La población estuvo conformada por 100 publicaciones que hicieron parte de la revisión, quedando 50 artículos que aportaron a construir el documento; la muestra la conformaron 15 artículos, los criterios de inclusión fueron artículos del periodo 2005-2015 y los criterios de exclusión fueron artículos no científicos, boletines informativos, artículos fuera del periodo 2005-2015.Resultados: La lactancia materna exclusiva, sin otros alimentos ni líquidos, durante los primeros 6 meses de vida tiene ventajas en comparación con la lactancia materna exclusiva durante solo 3 a 4 meses, seguida de la combinación de la lactancia materna con otros alimentos.Conclusión: Es vital fomentar la lactancia materna exclusiva porque es un compromiso social extenso y continuo no sólo con las madres, también con el personal de salud específicamente con las enfermeras

    Agradecimientos: Servicio de Medicina Nuclear del Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de GranadaObjetivos: En el presente estudio se persigue optimizar el cultivo de queratinocitos para desarrollar un modelo de piel artificial humana. Para ello, se utilizan como capa alimentadora células de origen humano: fibroblastos dérmicos humanos y células mesenquimales troncales derivadas de tejido adiposo. Los resultados obtenidos se comparan con los fibroblastos 3T3, capa alimentadora de origen murino utilizada desde hace décadas. Metodología: Se llevó a cabo un estudio experimental, utilizando células de origen humano y células de origen murino subletalmente irradiadas, como capa alimentadora para el establecimiento del cultivo de queratinocitos. Se evaluó la tasa de expansión celular y la tasa de duplicación en el pase celular de queratinocitos y en la recuperación celular final que se llevó a cabo a las 3 semanas de cultivo; así como el rendimiento celular y la viabilidad celular, que también se evaluaron en el procesamiento inicial. Resultados: Los resultados determinan que los fibroblastos dérmicos humanos irradiados y las células mesenquimales troncales derivadas de tejido adiposo pueden actuar como capa alimentadora promoviendo la adhesión y la expansión celular de los queratinocitos. Los fibroblastos dérmicos humanos proporcionan resultados equiparables a los obtenidos con los fibroblastos 3T3 murinos. Conclusiones: Los fibroblastos dérmicos humanos irradiados proporcionan una capa alimentadora funcional que permite la expansión in vitro de manera eficaz de los queratinocitos que se van a utilizar con fines clínicos para el desarrollo de un modelo de piel artificial humana.Purpose: This study aims to optimize keratinocyte culture to develop an artificial human skin model. For this purpose, human cells are used as feeder layer: human dermal fibroblasts and adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. The results obtained are compared with 3T3 fibroblasts, murine feeder layer used for decades. Methods: We conducted an experimental study using human and murine sub-lethally irradiated cells as feeder layer for the establishment of keratinocyte culture. Cell expansion rate and doubling rate were evaluated in the keratinocyte cell passage and in the final cell recovery (was carried out at 3 weeks). The yield and viability of keratinocytes were also evaluated in the initial processing. Results: The results determine that irradiated human dermal fibroblasts and irradiated adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells can act as feeder layer promoting adhesion and expansion of keratinocytes. Human dermal fibroblasts provide comparable results to those obtained with murine 3T3 fibroblasts. Conclusions: Irradiated human dermal fibroblasts provide a functional feeder layer which allows effectively in vitro expansion of keratinocytes to be used for clinical purposes for the development of an artificial human skin model

    Introducción: El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en evaluar la implementación del modelo comunitario de atención en salud mental en el Estado español en 2014. Secundariamente, se analizan los cambios que el modelo experimentó en 2008, en relación con la recesión económica. Material y Método: Se adoptó la definición de modelo comunitario que se propone en la Estrategia en Salud Mental del SNS, según la cual el modelo se rige por 8 principios y se implementa mediante 39 prácticas asistenciales. Se elaboró una encuesta dirigida a las Juntas Autonómicas de Gobierno de la Asociación Española de Neuropsiquiatría sobre el grado de cumplimiento del modelo comunitario en cada comunidad. Resultados: Se obtuvieron respuestas de 13 Juntas Autonómicas que incluyeron información sobre el 93% de la población española. Conclusión: Las carencias más importantes en la implementación del modelo comunitario en 2014 se relacionaron con la ausencia de una perspectiva de salud pública, con la mala gestión y rendición de cuentas, y la ralentización del desarrollo de equipos, servicios y redes de servicios de orientación comunitaria. El modelo se modificó poco globalmente entre 2008 y 2014, pero algunas prácticas clave, como la universalidad y gratuidad del sistema, la atención sectorizada, el acortamiento de los tiempos de espera, las subvenciones a las asociaciones de usuarios y familiares, y la aplicación de la “ley de dependencia” se contrajeron de forma sustancial en muchas comunidades. Otras prácticas, como la historia clínica informatizada, los planes Individualizados de atención y el tratamiento asertivo comunitario, incrementaron su cobertura en algunas comunidades a pesar de la recesión

    Mutations in the GDAP1 gene can cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. These mutations are quite rare in most Western countries but not so in certain regions of Spain or other Mediterranean countries. This cross-sectional retrospective multicenter study analyzed the clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with GDAP1 mutations across Spain. 99 patients were identified, which were distributed across most of Spain, but especially in the Northwest and Mediterranean regions. The most common genotypes were p.R120W (in 81% of patients with autosomal dominant inheritance) and p.Q163X (in 73% of autosomal recessive patients). Patients with recessively inherited mutations had a more severe phenotype, and certain clinical features, like dysphonia or respiratory dysfunction, were exclusively detected in this group. Dominantly inherited mutations had prominent clinical variability regarding severity, including 29% of patients who were asymptomatic. There were minor clinical differences between patients harboring specific mutations but not when grouped according to localization or type of mutation. This is the largest clinical series to date of patients with GDAP1 mutations, and it contributes to define the genetic distribution and genotype-phenotype correlation in this rare form of CMT

    Compromising between European and US allergen immunotherapy schools: Discussions from GUIMIT, the Mexican immunotherapy guidelines

    Get PDF
    Background: Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) has a longstanding history and still remains the only disease-changing treatment for allergic rhinitis and asthma. Over the years 2 different schools have developed their strategies: the United States (US) and the European. Allergen extracts available in these regions are adapted to local practice. In other parts of the world, extracts from both regions and local ones are commercialized, as in Mexico. Here, local experts developed a national AIT guideline (GUIMIT 2019) searching for compromises between both schools. Methods: Using ADAPTE methodology for transculturizing guidelines and AGREE-II for evaluating guideline quality, GUIMIT selected 3 high-quality Main Reference Guidelines (MRGs): the European Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (EAACI) guideines, the S2k guideline of various German-speaking medical societies (2014), and the US Practice Parameters on Allergen Immunotherapy 2011. We formulated clinical questions and based responses on the fused evidence available in the MRGs, combined with local possibilities, patient's preference, and costs. We came across several issues on which the MRGs disagreed. These are presented here along with arguments of GUIMIT members to resolve them. GUIMIT (for a complete English version, see Supplementary data) concluded the following: Results: Related to the diagnosis of IgE-mediated respiratory allergy, apart from skin prick testing complementary tests (challenges, in vitro testing and molecular such as species-specific allergens) might be useful in selected cases to inform AIT composition. AIT is indicated in allergic rhinitis and suggested in allergic asthma (once controlled) and IgE-mediated atopic dermatitis. Concerning the correct subcutaneous AIT dose for compounding vials according to the US school: dosing tables and formula are given; up to 4 non-related allergens can be mixed, refraining from mixing high with low protease extracts. When using European extracts: the manufacturer's indications should be followed; in multi-allergic patients 2 simultaneous injections can be given (100% consensus); mixing is discouraged. In Mexico only allergoid tablets are available; based on doses used in all sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) publications referenced in MRGs, GUIMIT suggests a probable effective dose related to subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) might be: 50–200% of the monthly SCIT dose given daily, maximum mixing 4 allergens. Also, a table with practical suggestions on non-evidence-existing issues, developed with a simplified Delphi method, is added. Finally, dissemination and implementation of guidelines is briefly discussed, explaining how we used online tools for this in Mexico. Conclusions: Countries where European and American AIT extracts are available should adjust AIT according to which school is followed

    Fostering English-taught higher education programs in a Spanish university: the "TechEnglish" innovative project

    Get PDF
    In recent years, coinciding with adjustments to the Bologna process, many European universities have attempted to improve their international profile by increasing course offerings in English. According to the Institute of International Education (IIE), Spain has notably increased its English-taught higher education programs, ranking fifth in the list of European countries by number of English-taught Master's programs in 2013. This article presents the goals and preliminary results of an on-going innovative education project (TechEnglish) that aims to promote course offerings in English at the Technical University of Madrid (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, UPM). The UPM is the oldest and largest of all Technical Universities in Spain. It offers graduate and postgraduate programs that cover all the engineering disciplines as well as architecture. Currently, the UPM has no specific bilingual/multilingual program to promote teaching in English, although there is an Educational Model Whitepaper (with a focus on undergraduate degrees) that promotes the development of activities like an International Semester or a unique shared curriculum. The TechEnglish project is an attempt to foster courses taught in English at 7 UPM Technical Schools, including students and 80 faculty members. Four tasks were identified: (1) to design a university wide framework to increase course offerings, (2) to identify administrative difficulties, (3) to increase visibility of courses offered, and (4) to disseminate the results of the project. First, to design a program we analyzed existing programs at other Spanish universities, and other projects and efforts already under way at the UPM. A total of 13 plans were analyzed and classified according to their relation with students (learning), professors (teaching), administration, course offerings, other actors/institutions within the university (e.g., language departments), funds and projects, dissemination activities, mobility plans and quality control. Second, to begin to identify administrative and organizational difficulties in the implementation of teaching in English, we first estimated the current and potential course offerings at the undergraduate level at the UPM using a survey (student, teacher and administrative demand, level of English and willingness to work in English). Third, to make the course offerings more attractive for both Spanish and international students we examined the way the most prestigious universities in Spain and in Europe try to improve the visibility of their academic offerings in English. Finally, to disseminate the results of the project we created a web page and a workspace on the Moodle education platform and prepared conferences and workshops within the UPM. Preliminary results show that increasing course offerings in English is an important step to promote the internationalization of the University. The main difficulties identified at the UPM were related to how to acknowledge/certify the departments, teachers or students involved in English courses, how students should register for the courses, how departments should split and schedule the courses (Spanish and English), and the lack of qualified personnel. A concerted effort could be made to increase the visibility of English-taught programs offered on-line
