La expresión corporal y el desarrollo motor de niños de 3 años

La expresión corporal es una manera de comunicación del ser humano, va acompañada de gestos, expresiones faciales y posturas, los cuales, representan sentimientos, emociones, pensamientos e ideas. Todas estas manifestaciones expresan permanentemente y van asociadas del desarrollo motor grueso, en el cual, domina la armonía y el control del movimiento, logrando una adecuada sincronización y coordinación motora. Desde esta perspectiva, el estudio tubo como objetivo describir la relacion de la expresión corporal en el desarrollo motor grueso de niños de 3 años. Al ser una investigación de enfoque cualitativo, la información se recogió a través de la aplicación de una guiá de observación con destrezas relacionadas a la expresión corporal y a la motricidad gruesa, dirigida a 32 niños de 3 años. Obteniéndose como resultado, que un buen porcentaje de niños se encuentra iniciando su desarrollo en el manejo de movimientos articulatorios básicos, e imitación de movimientos en canciones, seguir ritmos, así como la identificación de emociones y sentimientos de las personas de su entorno; y en lo referido a las destrezas de motricidad gruesa como el de realizar ejercicios de equilibrio dinámico y estático con las diferentes formas de movimientos, caminar, correr y mantener el control postural que involucre movimientos segmentados de su cuerpo, cabeza, tronco y extremidades; también, en un buen porcentaje de niños se encuentran en inicado su desarrollo. Lo que lleva a asumir que la expresión corporal se encuentra íntimamente relacionado con el desarrollo de habilidades motoras gruesas y que estas ayudan a que los niños desde tempranas edades a que logren una mejor comunicación y expresión

This innovative research structure comprises 11 different specific areas dedicated to the main public health priorities in the National Health System. CIBERER, the thematic area of CIBER focused on rare diseases (RDs) currently consists of 75 research groups belonging to universities, research centers, and hospitals of the entire country. CIBERER's mission is to be a center prioritizing and favoring collaboration and cooperation between biomedical and clinical research groups, with special emphasis on the aspects of genetic, molecular, biochemical, and cellular research of RDs. This research is the basis for providing new tools for the diagnosis and therapy of low-prevalence diseases, in line with the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) objectives, thus favoring translational research between the scientific environment of the laboratory and the clinical setting of health centers. In this article, we intend to review CIBERER's 15-year journey and summarize the main results obtained in terms of internationalization, scientific production, contributions toward the discovery of new therapies and novel genes associated to diseases, cooperation with patients' associations and many other topics related to RD research

Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use in early acute respiratory distress syndrome : Insights from the LUNG SAFE study

Publisher Copyright: © 2020 The Author(s). Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Background: Concerns exist regarding the prevalence and impact of unnecessary oxygen use in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We examined this issue in patients with ARDS enrolled in the Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE (LUNG SAFE) study. Methods: In this secondary analysis of the LUNG SAFE study, we wished to determine the prevalence and the outcomes associated with hyperoxemia on day 1, sustained hyperoxemia, and excessive oxygen use in patients with early ARDS. Patients who fulfilled criteria of ARDS on day 1 and day 2 of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure were categorized based on the presence of hyperoxemia (PaO2 > 100 mmHg) on day 1, sustained (i.e., present on day 1 and day 2) hyperoxemia, or excessive oxygen use (FIO2 ≥ 0.60 during hyperoxemia). Results: Of 2005 patients that met the inclusion criteria, 131 (6.5%) were hypoxemic (PaO2 < 55 mmHg), 607 (30%) had hyperoxemia on day 1, and 250 (12%) had sustained hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use occurred in 400 (66%) out of 607 patients with hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use decreased from day 1 to day 2 of ARDS, with most hyperoxemic patients on day 2 receiving relatively low FIO2. Multivariate analyses found no independent relationship between day 1 hyperoxemia, sustained hyperoxemia, or excess FIO2 use and adverse clinical outcomes. Mortality was 42% in patients with excess FIO2 use, compared to 39% in a propensity-matched sample of normoxemic (PaO2 55-100 mmHg) patients (P = 0.47). Conclusions: Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use are both prevalent in early ARDS but are most often non-sustained. No relationship was found between hyperoxemia or excessive oxygen use and patient outcome in this cohort. Trial registration: LUNG-SAFE is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02010073publishersversionPeer reviewe

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Combining 15 years of microwave SST and along-track SSH to estimate ocean surface currents

International audienceOcean surface current is one of the main oceanographic variables. To estimate and track these currents, we use satellite measurements of Sea Surface Height (SSH), but these data are sparse in space and time, as they are collected along altimeter tracks. However, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) observations are much more complete in both space and time, and so the covariance of SST and SSH can be exploited to use SST datasets to help fill in the missing information about ocean currents where SSH data are lacking. Here, we test a new data- driven methodology combining SST and SSH information to estimate the ocean surface currents in the Agulhas current

Ocean Surface Current Reconstruction: On the Transfer Function between Infrared SST and along-track altimeter observations

International audienceThe potentiality of retrieving high spatial resolution velocity fields by exploiting the synergy between nearly simultaneous observations of infrared SST and along-track altimetry is shown here through a case study in the Gulf Stream region. The presented approach relies on the characterization of a transfer function between the SST observations and the streamfunction of the flow and allows to improve the spatial resolution and the effective scales of the retrieved velocity field

Assessment on linearity errors in detectors for interferometric radiometers

The performance of the power detectors used to denormalize the digital correlations in interferometric radiometers is degraded due to the non-linear behavior of the diode response. This work presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of detector non-linearity and related correction techniques in the performance of the MIRAS (Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis) instrument [1], which is the single payload of the European Space Agency (ESA) Soil Moisture and ocean Salinity (SMOS) missionPeer ReviewedPostprint (published version
