Caracterización de la gingivitis crónica en la población adolescente

Introduction: cachronic gingivitis is the inflammatory process that affects the periodontium of protection and alters the normal characteristics of the gingiva, with a high prevalence in adolescents. Objective: to characterize chronic gingivitis in adolescents from 11 to 19 years old in the North Area of Sancti Spiritus province. Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out; the target group comprised 61 adolescents, who attended the Provincial Teaching Dentistry Clinic during the period of September 2019-January 2020. The variables studied were: age, sex, factors of risk, clinical anatomy characteristic, severity of the disease and knowledge about chronic gingivitis. Methods from the theoretical and empirical levels, along with descriptive statistics were used.Results: the age group 17-19 years (45,9 %) predominated, poor oral hygiene (78,7 %) followed by dental caries (47,5 %) and smoking (40,9 %). The level of knowledge was poor in 72,1 % and edematous gingivitis was the one that most affected adolescents, with the highest incidence in the ages from 14 to 16 (36,1%). Conclusions: chronic gingivitis, mainly of the edematous type, was common in male adolescents in ages from 17 to 19. Risk factors such as poor oral hygiene influenced on the onset of this disease. It is necessary to increase the level of knowledge on adolescents to prevent the onset of this condition.Introducción: la gingivitis crónica es el proceso inflamatorio que afecta el periodonto de protección y altera las características normales de la encía, con elevada prevalencia en los adolescentes. Objetivo: caracterizar la gingivitis crónica en los adolescentes de 11 a 19 años del Área Norte de Sancti Spíritus. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal cuyo universo quedó constituido por 61 adolescentes, que acudieron a la Clínica Estomatológica Docente Provincial durante el período de septiembre de 2019 a enero de 2020. Las variables estudiadas fueron: edad, sexo, factores de riesgo, aspecto anatomo clínico, gravedad de la enfermedad y conocimientos sobre gingivitis crónica. Se emplearon métodos del nivel teórico, empírico y de la estadística descriptiva. Resultados: predominó el grupo de edades de 17 a 19 años (45,9 %), la higiene bucal deficiente (78,7 %) seguida de la caries dental (47,5 %) y el tabaquismo (40,9 %). El nivel de conocimientos fue malo en el 72,1 % y la gingivitis edematosa fue la que más afectó a los adolescentes, con mayor incidencia en el grupo de 14 a 16 años (36,1 %). Conclusiones: la gingivitis crónica, principalmente de tipo edematosa fue común en adolescentes masculinos y de edades entre 17 y 19 años. Factores de riesgo como una higiene bucal deficiente condicionan la aparición de la enfermedad. Es necesario incidir en el nivel de conocimientos de los adolescentes para prevenir la aparición de la enfermedad

Diseño de una aplicación multimedia para la formación complementaria del alumno

Las presentaciones multimedia del material didáctico son cada vez más utilizadas en la docencia, gracias al abaratamiento de los sistemas informáticos y a la facilidad de uso de los programas de edición. Los estudiantes de la Diplomatura de Enfermería basan gran parte de su aprendizaje en la observación y práctica de técnicas y procedimientos que se aplican a los pacientes. Normalmente este aprendizaje se desarrolla en los centros donde realizan las prácticas asistenciales (hospitales, centros de salud, etc), pero muchas de estas técnicas y procedimientos pueden ser incorporados a una apliacación multimedia, ya que es posible la inclusión de vídeo, sonido, imágenes, gráficos, dibujos y textos.The multimedia presentations of didactic material are more and more used in teaching, thanks to the depreciation of the computer systems and to the easiness of using edition programs. Nursing students base great part of their learning on the observation and practice of technical and procedures that are applied to the patients. This learning is usually developed in the centers where they carry out the assistance practices (hospitals, centers of health, etc), but many of these techniques and procedures can be incorporated to a multimedia application, since it is possible the videotape inclusion, sounds, images, graphics, drawings and texts

Proxy measures for the assessment of psychotic and affective symptoms in studies using electronic health records

Background There is a lack of standardised psychometric data in electronic health record (EHR)-based research. Proxy measures of symptom severity based on patients' clinical records may be useful surrogates in mental health EHR research. Aims This study aimed to validate proxy tools for the short versions of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS-6), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS-6) and Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS-6). Method A cross-sectional, multicentre study was conducted in a sample of 116 patients with first-episode psychosis from 12 public hospitals in Spain. Concordance between PANSS-6, YMRS-6 and MADRS-6 scores and their respective proxies was evaluated based on information from EHR clinical notes, using a variety of statistical procedures, including multivariate tests to adjust for potential confounders. Bootstrapping techniques were used for internal validation, and an independent cohort from the Treatment and Early Intervention in Psychosis Program (TIPP-Lausanne, Switzerland) for external validation. Results The proxy versions correlated strongly with their respective standardised scales (partial correlations ranged from 0.75 to 0.84) and had good accuracy and discriminatory power in distinguishing between patients in and not in remission (percentage of patients correctly classified ranged from 83.9 to 91.4% and bootstrapped optimism-corrected area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 0.76 to 0.89), with high interrater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.81). The findings remained robust in the external validation data-set. Conclusions The proxy instruments proposed for assessing psychotic and affective symptoms by reviewing EHR provide a feasible and reliable alternative to traditional structured psychometric procedures, and a promising methodology for real-world practice settings

First scientific observations with MEGARA at GTC

On June 25th 2017, the new intermediate-resolution optical IFU and MOS of the 10.4-m GTC had its first light. As part of the tests carried out to verify the performance of the instrument in its two modes (IFU and MOS) and 18 spectral setups (identical number of VPHs with resolutions R=6000-20000 from 0.36 to 1 micron) a number of astronomical objects were observed. These observations show that MEGARA@GTC is called to fill a niche of high-throughput, intermediateresolution IFU and MOS observations of extremely-faint narrow-lined objects. Lyman-α absorbers, star-forming dwarfs or even weak absorptions in stellar spectra in our Galaxy or in the Local Group can now be explored to a new level. Thus, the versatility of MEGARA in terms of observing modes and spectral resolution and coverage will allow GTC to go beyond current observational limits in either depth or precision for all these objects. The results to be presented in this talk clearly demonstrate the potential of MEGARA in this regard
