Proposta de intervenção para melhoria do acompanhamento pela Saúde da Família aos portadores de hipertensão e diabetes melittus

Principal problema identificado para a condução do trabalho de uma equipe de Saúde da Família no município de Prata/Minas Gerais foi o acompanhamento irregular das pessoas portadoras de Hipertensão e Diabetes cadastradas nesta área de abrangência. Tendo em vista as relevantes complicações causadas pela adesão inadequada ao regime terapêutico referente a esses agravos, como elevação de morbimortalidade na população, o presente estudo objetivou apresentar uma proposta de intervenção para o enfrentamento mais efetivo desta demanda. O delineamento da proposta pauta-se no arcabouço metodológico do Planejamento Estratégico Situacional, um processo participativo de construção coletiva que considera a problematização da realidade por uma análise situacional. A ausência de uma programação assistencial para trabalhar diretamente Hipertensão e Diabetes, a falta de conhecimento das pessoas cadastradas sobre os riscos e agravos da Hipertensão e a Diabetes e seus hábitos e estilos de vida inadequados foram considerados pela equipe de saúde como os fatores explicativos desta realidade. De forma geral, para elaboração do projeto de intervenção permitiu a equipe formular propostas baseadas em evidências e com grande probabilidade de serem resolutiva

Mejora del estado nutricional de la población Infantil de Burkina Faso mediante huertos escolares y secadores solares

[ES] El propósito principal del presente TFG es facilitar algunas herramientas para contribuir a la mejora del estado nutricional de la población en las zonas rurales de Burkina Faso. La justificación objetiva del mismo se apoya en cumplir con varios de los Objetivos del Milenio y de los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible, en particular: la lucha por la erradicación de la pobreza y el hambre, la educación de calidad, la igualdad de sexos, el uso de energías renovables, etc. El objetivo concreto del TFG es elaborar material de apoyo/trabajo para proyectos de Cooperación Internacional en Seguridad Alimentaria, utilizando como herramientas principales huertos escolares y secadores solares, y analizar la viabilidad tanto tecnológica como económica de estas herramientas. Destaca el carácter formativo del uso y aprendizaje de estas herramientas tanto en aspectos de la seguridad alimentaria (mejora del acceso a los alimentos, formación en higiene y salubridad, mejora del aporte nutricional, etc.) como en la adquisición de competencias y habilidades transversales (desarrollo social y trabajo en equipo, planificación, interacción con el medio ambiente) con el objetivo de obtener beneficios a largo plazo en la población de las zonas rurales de Burkina Faso. Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) y el Programa Mundial de Alimentos (PMA) confirman que los proyectos de ayuda alimentaria en colegios generan consecuencias positivas a lago plazo que pueden ser más beneficiosas incluso que sus efectos nutricionales inmediatos. Por ello, se seleccionó la población infantil como objetivo de este TFG y los huertos escolares como herramienta básica a emplear. El plan de trabajo incluye una amplia búsqueda de información de las experiencias con huertos escolares, tanto bibliográfica como ¿sobre el terreno¿, en colegios de Valencia y en Gaoua (región de Poni, al sudoeste de Burkina Faso), con el fin de establecer: cultivos principales en la zona, consejos técnicos del mantenimiento del huerto en colegios, plan de gestión de las tareas derivadas del huerto, uso del huerto como herramienta transversal en la formación de los niños, etc. La información referente al uso de secadores solares se obtendrá en colaboración con la Association pour la Promotion Feminine à Gaoua (APFG), como parte del programa de becas Meridies (2013-2016) del Centro de Cooperación al Desarrollo (CDD) de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, e incluirá: curvas de secado de alimentos obtenidas en Valencia y en Gaoua, un manual para la construcción y uso de un prototipo de secador solar diseñado en la UPV, y un estudio de la aceptación por parte de los colegios (profesores y alumnos) del uso de los secadores solares para conservar parte de los productos cultivados y de los excedentes de otros cultivos producidos durante el año. Como parte de la Beca Meridies 2015-2016, se realizarán pruebas de los secadores solares en el terreno, se impartirán talleres de formación en los colegios sobre la fabricación y uso de los secadores, y se recopilará información sobre el uso de los huertos escolares y de los huertos gestionados por asociaciones de mujeres. Además se llevará a cabo un estudio económico de un proyecto de implantación de huertos escolares y secadores solares. Finalmente, también se elaborará material formativo de apoyo para talleres prácticos sobre la implantación de huertos escolares y secadores solares.[EN] The main purpose of the present Bachelor Thesis is to facilitate some tools to contribute to the improvement of the nutritional status of the population in the rural areas of Burkina Faso. The Millennium Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals are used to define the topic of the project, in particular: the struggle for the eradication of poverty and hunger, providing quality education, gender equality, the use of renewable energies, etc. The specific objective of the Bachelor Thesis is developing support/work material for International Cooperation Projects in food security, using as main tools school gardens and solar dryers, and analyzing both technological and economic viability of these tools. It stands out the formative character of these tools not only in food security aspects (improving food access, hygiene and sanitation training, improvement of the nutritional intake, etc.) but also in the acquisition of other transversal competencies and skills (social development, teamwork, planning, interaction with the environment…) with the goal of obtaining long term benefits in the population of the rural areas of Burkina Faso. United Nations agriculture and food (FAO) and the world food program (WFP) confirmed that Food security projects carried out in schools generate positive consequences in the long term than may be more beneficial than its immediate nutritional effects. Therefore, children was selected as the target group of this Bachelor Thesis and School Gardens as the tool to be used. The work plan includes an extensive research of information of experiences with school gardens, both bibliographic and on the field, at schools from Valencia (Spain) and Gaoua (Poni region, southwest of Burkina Faso), in order to establish: main crops in the area, technical advice for the maintenance of the school garden, management advice for the tasks arising from the garden, use of the garden as a transversal tool in the children education, etc. Information concerning the use of solar dryers will be obtained in collaboration with the Association pour la Promotion Féminine à Gaoua (APFG), as part of scholarship Meridies (2013-2016) given by the Development Cooperation Centre (CDD) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), and it will include: a manual for the construction and use of a solar dryer prototype designed at the UPV, as well as a study of the acceptance by schools (teachers and students) in the use of solar dryers to preserve part of the cultivated products and surplus crops produced during the year. As part of the scholarship Meridies 2015-2016, tests of the solar dryer was carried out in the field, training and workshops on the construction and use of solar dryers was give, and information about the use of the school gardens and gardens managed by women's associations was gathered. Furthermore, an economic study of the project implementation for both school gardens and solar dryers was prepared. Finally, there were elaborated several training materials and guides on the implementation of school gardens and solar dryers.Valero Relloso, J. (2016).

European Grapevine Cultivars and Rootstocks Show Differential Resistance to Xylella fastidiosa Subsp. fastidiosa

Several Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa (ST1) strains that cause Pierce’s disease were isolated from grapevine in Spain. In this study, we applied an approach to assess PD susceptibility among 24 different well-known Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera cultivars and five rootstocks belonging to different species of the genus Vitis. Both were commonly commercialized, representing about 75% of the cultivated area in Spain. This method incorporated disease severity, disease progression, and water potential from the stem xylem. The trials were carried out under field and greenhouse conditions. The virulence of the Xff strain XYL 2055/17 was significantly higher than that of strain XYL 2177/18. However, while this difference in strain virulence did not seem to modify the susceptibility profiles of the cultivars, disease severity could be climate dependent. This work established two significantly different groups of European cultivars of grapevine characterized by high and low susceptibility to Xff ST1: cultivars with high susceptibility, including reference cultivars such as Tempranillo and Tempranillo Blanco, and cultivars with high resistance, such as Hondarrabi Zuri and Cabernet Sauvignon. Cultivar susceptibility was independent of the rootstock on which they were grafted. No conclusive data were found regarding the potential of water loss as an early detection test prior to symptom onset. This study provides a framework with which to advance cultivar susceptibility studies under different environmental conditions.This research was partially funded by AEI-INIA Spain, through a NEIKER-Girona University agreement (Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Institute of Food and Agricultural Technology-CIDSAV-XaRTA): Grant number E-RTA2017-00004-C06-03; Basque Government through Grupo de Investigación del Sistema Universitario Vasco: Grant numbers T1682-22 and 00039-IDA2021-45; S.M. was a recipient of a PhD research grant from Department of Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment of the Basque Government (2018–2022): Grant reference SARA MARTINEZ 2018

Critical Care Requirements Under Uncontrolled Transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Objectives. To estimate the critical care bed capacity that would be required to admit all critical COVID-19 cases in a setting of unchecked SARS-CoV-2 transmission, both with and without elderly-specific protection measures. Methods. Using electronic health records of all 2432 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in a large hospital in Madrid, Spain, between February 28 and April 23, 2020, we estimated the number of critical care beds needed to admit all critical care patients. To mimic a hypothetical intervention that halves SARS-CoV-2 infections among the elderly, we randomly excluded 50% of patients aged 65 years and older. Results. Critical care requirements peaked at 49 beds per 100 000 on April 1-2 weeks after the start of a national lockdown. After randomly excluding 50% of elderly patients, the estimated peak was 39 beds per 100 000. Conclusions. Under unchecked SARS-CoV-2 transmission, peak critical care requirements in Madrid were at least fivefold higher than prepandemic capacity. Under a hypothetical intervention that halves infections among the elderly, critical care peak requirements would have exceeded the prepandemic capacity of most high-income countries. Public Health Implications. Pandemic control strategies that rely exclusively on protecting the elderly are likely to overwhelm health care systems.S
