Adherencia al tratamiento en psiquiatrÃa: estudio preliminar de los modelos empleados
En este trabajo, nos planteamos el estudio de en qué modelos prima la
investigación de la adherencia al tratamiento en la clÃnica psiquiátrica, a partir
del análisis de la producción cientÃfica registrada en un buscador de
reconocido prestigio.
A tal efecto, y en orden a responder al objetivo general planteado, se revisa la
inclusión de dicho término en el reservorio Scopus (www.scopus.es),
considerada la base de datos o buscador multidisciplinar por excelencia
dentro del ámbito cientÃfico actual. De esta forma, se estudian en un perÃodo
limitado a un lustro, las publicaciones editadas en revistas cientÃficas
internacionales desde la perspectiva de los modelos biológicos, psicológicos y
sociales en PsiquiatrÃa en los que enmarquen.
Realizada la revisión bibliográfica pertinente, se aprecia el predominio de
estudios desde los modelos psicológicos (16 publicaciones), desde los
modelos sociales (14 resultados) frente a los trabajos en el que la adherencia
al tratamiento en PsiquiatrÃa se efectúa desde la perspectiva de los modelos
biológicos (3 publicaciones).
Finalmente, se propone incidir en el análisis detallado de la naturaleza de la
adherencia al tratamiento entendiéndola en el marco de la misma relación
médico-paciente, dirigiéndose el foco de atención hacia la investigación de
la adherencia al tratamiento en el conjunto de las especialidades médicas y
sanitarias y, atendiendo, especÃficamente, a determinadas poblaciones
infanto-juveniles y de adultos. Igualmente, se sugiere la necesidad de ampliar
el perÃodo de tiempo revisado y la adecuación de otros descriptores que
fuesen más idóneos tal como se ha podido apreciar en esta investigación

Assistive Technology for Elderly Care: An Overview
Global demographic changes have resulted in a growing technological demand to meet the arisen social needs. In particular, the increasingly ageing population requires assistive technologies to stay at home for longer independently while receiving continuous healthcare. In this sense, a wide academic and industrial research is taking place, introducing these technologies in hospitals and rehabilitation centres. This paper aims at providing an overview of research projects for elderly care and assistance, focusing on cognitive and robot assistants due to their popularity in the area. More precisely, physical and/or cognitive rehabilitation are presented. This paper also discusses their limitations and the open challenges to be tackled in order to be successfully integrated in our society
Disulphide production by Ero1alpha-PDI relay is rapid and effectively regulated
The molecular networks that control endoplasmic reticulum (ER) redox conditions in mammalian cells are incompletely understood. Here, we show that after reductive challenge the ER steady-state disulphide content is restored on a time scale of seconds. Both the oxidase Ero1alpha and the oxidoreductase protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) strongly contribute to the rapid recovery kinetics, but experiments in ERO1-deficient cells indicate the existence of parallel pathways for disulphide generation. We find PDI to be the main substrate of Ero1alpha, and mixed-disulphide complexes of Ero1 primarily form with PDI, to a lesser extent with the PDI-family members ERp57 and ERp72, but are not detectable with another homologue TMX3. We also show for the first time that the oxidation level of PDIs and glutathione is precisely regulated. Apparently, this is achieved neither through ER import of thiols nor by transport of disulphides to the Golgi apparatus. Instead, our data suggest that a dynamic equilibrium between Ero1- and glutathione disulphide-mediated oxidation of PDIs constitutes an important element of ER redox homeostasis
Robot Vision for Manipulation: A Trip to Real-World Applications
Along the last decades, Robotics research has taken a major turn from laboratories to factories and ordinary real-world environments. Consequently, new issues to be overcome have arisen, specially when autonomous, dexterous robots are in place. In this paper, we present this evolution in the case of robot vision for manipulation through several robot developments, by analysing their challenges and proposed solutions. This overview highlights the need of using different techniques depending on the task at hand and the scenario to work in.This work was supported in part by the Ministerio de EconomÃa y Competitividad under Grant DPI2015-69041-R, in part by Universitat Jaume I under Grant UJI-B2018-74, and in part by Generalitat Valenciana under Grant PROMETEO/2020/034 and GV/2020/051
