Pluriculturalidad, Multiculturalidad e Interculturalidad, conocimientos necesarios para la labor docente
2012
El conocimiento de la terminología derivada del fenómeno migratorio es de gran importancia para el docente de todas las etapas educativas, debido a que las aulas españolas cuentan con hijos de inmigrantes que tienen derecho a ser atendidos en igualdad de condiciones. Toda intervención educativa en situaciones de Pluriculturalidad debe partir de un conocimiento por parte del docente de lo que implican conceptos como Interculturalidad o Multiculturalidad; así, resulta imprescindible que el educador conozca esos términos relacionados con la Pluriculturalidad como base teórica de su propuesta educativa que espere desarrollar en el aula. El conocimiento de conceptos como cultura, Pluriculturalid…
A GIANT ANEURYSM OF PROPER HEPATIC ARTERY IN A CRYOGLOBULINEMIC PATIENT ON HEMODIALYSIS: A CASE REPORT.
2014
Introductrion. Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are unusual vascular lesions often associated with many different pathological conditions. Most of reported cases are described in association with connective tissue diseases, such as polyarteritis nodosa and systemic lupus erythematosus. Case report. We observed a 52-year-old man with hypertension and HCV-related cryoglobulinemia complicated by end stage renal disease on replacement therapy by hemodialysis. He was admitted to our hospital because of the worsening of blood pressure values (170/110 mmHg) associated to new onset abdominal pain. After an initial physical examination, that showed a periumbelical bruit associated to a pulsatile mass…
La situació sociodemogràfica de la immigració a les comarques del País Valencià
2008
En el present treball, realitzem un acostament a la realitat sociodemogràfica de la immigració al País Valencià. La diversitat del nostre territori requereix d´una mirada comarcal a l´hora d´abordar els processos d´arribada i assentament de la població immigrada que hi viu entre nosaltres. A partir de les dades del padró municipal hem establert una quàdruple tipologia de comarques atenent a la incidència i tipus d´immigració que es dona en cadascuna de les mateixes. L´anàlisi descriptiu que presentem pretén ser d´utilitat per a emmarcar estudis sobre els processos d´inserció dels immigrants no comunitaris a les diferents comarques del País Valencià.
Immunomodulatory and Hematopoietic Effects of Recombinant Human Interleukin-6 in Patients with Advanced Renal Cell Cancer
1996
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine with pleiotropic biologic activities on B cells, T cells, and hematopoietic progenitors. The present study was undertaken to assess pharmacodynamic effects of subcutaneous administration of IL-6 on blood counts, immunologic parameters, and acute-phase reactants. Blood samples were taken from patients with advanced renal cell cancer participating in a phase II trial of recombinant human IL-6. Multiparameter FACS analyses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells were performed using antibodies against CD3, CD4, CD8, HLA-DR, CD56, CD28, CD38, CD19, sIgM, and sIgG. Serum levels of IL-10, soluble CD23 (sCD23), sCD25, IL-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL-1RA), solu…
Analysis of relapse after transplantation in acute leukemia: A comparative on second allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and donor lymphocy…
2018
Relapse of acute leukemia (AL) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HCT) entails a dismal prognosis. In this scenario, donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) and second Allo-HCT are two major approaches. We compared outcomes of AL patients treated for relapse with DLI or second Allo-HCT after receiving debulking therapy. In total, 46 patients were included in the study; 30 (65%) had acute myeloid leukemia and 16 (35%) had acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The median age was 38 years (range 4-66). Twenty-seven patients received a second Allo-HCT and 19 patients received DLI. The median follow-up of the cohort was 273 days (range 9-7013). Overall survival (OS), disease-free surviv…

Impact of antigen presentation on TCR modulation and cytokine release: implications for detection and sorting of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells using …
2002
Abstract Soluble MHC class I molecules loaded with antigenic peptides are available either to detect and to enumerate or, alternatively, to sort and expand MHC class I-restricted and peptide-reactive T cells. A defined number of MHC class I/peptide complexes can now be implemented to measure T cell responses induced upon Ag-specific stimulation, including CD3/CD8/ζ-chain down-regulation, pattern, and quantity of cytokine secretion. As a paradigm, we analyzed the reactivity of a Melan-A/MART-1-specific and HLA-A2-restricted CD8+ T cell clone to either soluble or solid-phase presented peptides, including the naturally processed and presented Melan-A/MART-1 peptide AAGIGILTV or the peptide ana…
Guillain-Barré syndrome after orthotopic liver transplantation: A clinical manifestation of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome?
2018
Guillain-Barrè Syndrome, as part of the spectrum of dysimmune neuropathies, is unexpected to occur in immunocompromised hosts. We describe a clinical case of Guillain-Barrè syndrome, occurred a few weeks after a liver transplant, and we postulate that our case would satisfy all requirements to explain this peripheral nervous system complication as a clinical manifestation of an Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. In this setting of liver transplantation, complicated by potentially multiple infective triggers, reduction of immunosuppression and reversal of pathogen-induced immunosuppression, through antimicrobial therapy, may have led to pro-inflammatory response. The pro-inflammato…

Improving uptake of screening for colorectal cancer: a study on invitation strategies and different test kit use
2015
Objective The aim of this study was to compare the uptake of mail-delivered tests for colorectal cancer screening. We assessed the effect of an advance notification letter and a reminder letter, and analysed the proportion of inappropriately handled tests. Materials and methods Fifteen thousand randomly selected residents of Latvia aged 50–74 years were allocated to receive one of three different test systems: either a guaiac faecal occult blood test (gFOBT) or one of two laboratory-based immunochemical tests (FIT) – FOB Gold or OC-Sensor. Half of the target population received an advance notification letter; all nonresponders were sent a reminder letter. Results The uptake of screening was…
