Ayudando a la incorporación de alumnos de nuevo ingreso en el grado de Ingeniería Informática

Con el objetivo de mejorar el plan de acogida a los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso en la Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Informática de Albacete (ESII) de la Universidad de Castilla la Mancha, se ha incorporado un programa de mentoría entre iguales, donde un alumno de los últimos cursos mentoriza a varios estudiantes de nuevo ingreso. Este programa de mentorías entre iguales tiene una doble finalidad, por un lado, y conjuntamente con el plan de acogida, facilitar la adaptación en el grado a los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso, favoreciendo su integración social y académica, así como facilitando su familiarización con algunos aspectos administrativos; por otro lado, formar en competencias transversales a estudiantes de últimos cursos, potenciando competencias y habilidades sociales de liderazgo y gestión de equipos, mediante su papel como mentores de alumnos de nuevo ingreso. En el artículo se describen los procedimientos usados y algunos resultados de la experiencia.Aiming to improve the receiving plan in the Faculty of Computer Science Engineering at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, a peer mentoring project has been implanted. In this program, an experienced student acts as a mentor for a group of incoming students. This peer mentoring project has a double purpose, on the one hand, and jointly with the receiving plan, help incoming students adapt to the degree, promoting their social and academic integration, as well as facilitating familiarity with administrative aspects; on the other hand, educate experienced students, upgrading their competences and leadership and team management social abilities through their mentor role. Procedures used and some results of the project are shown in this paper

Resumen basado en el contenido de la publicaciónSe presenta el concepto de "efecto invernadero" como la elevación de temperatura sufrida por un sistema transparente a las longitudes de onda cortas de la región visible del espectro y opaca a las radiaciones infrarrojas de mayor longitud de onda, que resultan retenidas por algún componente del sistema. Dado que este fenómeno de calentamiento por absorción sucede en la alta atmósfera, se analizan algunos de los aspectos físicos que conlleva este fenómeno a nivel atmosférico.ES

Growth Patterns in Children with Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection

Background: Congenital cytomegalovirus infection (CMVc) affects 0.7%-6% of recent births. Among its clinical manifestations are low weight and length at birth. Objective: Describe the growth patterns of children with CMVc in their early years. Methods: Observational, multicenter study of patients with CMVc. Anthropometric data were collected during the first 2 years of life and compared with World Health Organization standards. Results: Anthropometric characteristics of 383 children with CMVc were studied, of which 198 (51%) were symptomatic at birth. At birth, 9% were small for gestational age (SGA) in terms of their weight and length and 17% had microcephaly. At 24 ± 3 months, 10% had a weight and length ≤2 SD, and 13% a head circumference ≤2 SD. Of those who were SGA at birth, at 24 ± 3 months >20% remained at ≤2 SD of their weight and length. Conversely, 75% of children with low weight or length at 24 ± 3 had not been SGA at birth. 20% of infants with microcephaly at birth remained with microcephaly, and 10% of those without microcephaly developed it at 24 ± 3 months. The average growth rate in length and weight was normal. Patients who were symptomatic at birth, premature and with motor and neurocognitive impairment had a significantly higher risk of low weight and length at 24 ± 3 months. Conclusion: Around 10% of children with CMVc are at ≤2 SD in weight, length and head circumference at 24 ± 3 months. The lack of adequate growth is associated with symptoms at birth, prematurity and motor and neurocognitive impairment. Growth impairment could be incorporated into the symptomatic spectrum of CMVc.Sin financiación3.164 JCR (2020) Q3, 56/92 Infectious Diseases1.269 SJR (2020) Q1, 69/292 Infectious DiseasesNo data IDR 2019UE

Pandemic H1N1 influenza-associated hospitalizations in children in Madrid, Spain.

To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of children hospitalized with 2009 pandemic influenza (pH1N1) in Madrid, Spain. We included patients less than 14 years of age admitted to one of 18 hospitals in Madrid, Spain, between May 1 and November 30, 2009 and diagnosed with pH1N1 by polymerase chain reaction. A retrospective chart review was conducted and data were compared by age, presence of high-risk medical conditions, and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission. A total of 517 pH1N1 cases were included for final analysis. One hundred and forty-two patients (27·5%) had predisposing underlying illnesses, with immunosuppression (36 children, 7%) and moderate persistent asthma (34, 6·6%) being the most common ones. Patients with underlying medical conditions had longer hospital stays [median 5, interquartile range (IQR) 3-8 days, versus median 4, IQR 3-6, P < 0·001] and required intensive care (20·4% versus 5·9%, P < 0·001) and mechanical ventilation more frequently than previously healthy children. Globally, intensive care was required for 51 patients (10%) and invasive mechanical ventilation for 12 (2%). Pediatric intensive care unit admission was significantly associated with abnormal initial chest X-ray [Odds Ratio (OR) 3·5, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·5-8·5], underlying neurological condition (OR 3·1, CI 1·2-7·5) and immunosuppression (OR 2·9, 1·2-6·8). Five patients (0·9%) died; two with severe neurological disease, two with leukemia, and one with a malignant solid tumor. Children with underlying medical conditions experienced more severe pH1N1 disease. Risk factors for admission to the PICU included underlying neurological conditions, immunosuppression and abnormal initial chest X-ray.S
