Guías EAU sobre incontinencia urinaria

2011

Contexto: Las primeras directrices sobre incontinencia de la European Association of Urology (EAU) se publicaron en 2001. Dichas directrices se han actualizado con regularidad en los últimos años. Objetivo: El objetivo de este artículo es ofrecer un resumen de la actualización de las directrices sobre incontinencia urinaria (IU) de la EAU realizada en 2009. Recogida de evidencias: El comité de trabajo de la EAU formó parte de la IV Consulta Internacional sobre Incontinencia (ICI) y, con permiso de la ICI, llevó a cabo la extracción de la información de relevancia. La metodología de la IV ICI consistió en una amplia revisión de la literatura por parte de expertos internacionales y en la crea…

Fear of Coronavirus, Stress and Fear of Childbirth in Polish Pregnant Women during the COVID-19 Pandemic

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic is the largest pandemic of an aggressive coronavirus in the human population in the 21st century. The pandemic may have a negative emotional impact on pregnant women, causing fear and stress. Negative feelings during pregnancy later affect fear of childbirth. Our study aimed to determine the relationship between fear of COVID-19, stress and fear of childbirth. We assume that fear of COVID-19 will be a mediator of the relationship between perceived stress and fear of childbirth. A total of 262 Polish pregnant women participated in this study. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FOC-6) and Labour Anxiety Questionnaire (KLP II) were used in the study.…

Competición intrasexual en el trabajo: diferencias sexuales en celos y envidia en el trabajo

2012

ResumenDesde una perspectiva evolucionista, este articulo aborda las diferencias sexuales en las caracteristicas del rival que provocan celos y envidia en el trabajo, y como se relacionan con la competicion intrasexual. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 114 trabajadores de diferentes sectores profesionales. Los rivales provocaron mas celos y envidia en las mujeres que en los hombres cuando eran fisicamente atractivos. En ambos sexos, las habilidades sociales y el poder social y dominancia fueron las caracteristicas del rival que provocaron mas celos y envidia. En las mujeres, los celos provocados por el atractivo fisico del rival se relacionaron con la competicion intrasexual, mientras que en…

Regulation of mating in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the zinc cluster proteins Sut1 and Sut2

The zinc cluster proteins Sut1 and Sut2 play a role in sterol uptake and filamentous growth in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we show that they are also involved in mating. Cells that lack both SUT1 and SUT2 were defective in mating. The expression of the genes NCE102 and PRR2 was increased in the sut1 sut2 double deletion mutant…

Preliminary studies on reproduction of Puntazzo puntazzo (Gmelin 1789) (Pisces, Sparidae) under controlled conditions

1985

Abstract Experiments were carried out under controlled conditions in September 1983 on the reproduction of Puntazzo puntazzo (sheepshead bream). The techniques adopted to stimulate spawning, the egg characteristics, and the phases of embryonal development until the sixth day after hatching are described. The best spawning results were obtained with intramuscular injections of HCG at 1 I.U./g of body weight. Optimal fertilization and hatching were observed at 22°C, the mean temperature of the sea water during the natural period of reproduction of Puntazzo puntazzo .

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Correlations between Receptor Density and Binding Affinity of 1-Adrenoceptors and Several Clinical Parameters

2002

The aim of the study was to determine whether relations do exist between the concentration and activity of 1-adrenoceptors, both inside the prostatic adenoma and the periurethral zone corresponding to the bladder neck, and clinical and biological parameters such as symptoms, evaluated by the American Urological Association (AUA) score, age, weight of the prostate, PSA, and the flow rate. Twenty patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia were selected for an open prostatectomy. One gram of tissue was dissected from inside the adenoma and 1 g from the periurethral zone corresponding to the bladder neck. The 1-adrenoceptors were evaluated for the apparent dissociation constant (Kd)…

Histochemical Geography and Ultrastructural Remarks of the Urinary Tract in Some Mammals

2008

Our investigations oriented towards the urinary tracts, particulary the bladder and ureter, were carried out by histochemical and ultrastructural studies by SEM and TEM observation. In this segment of urinary tract, by structural, ultrastructural and chemical analysis, have evinced variations related to different animal species (guinea pig, rabbit and rat). The bladder wall was considered from us for histochemical aspects related to hydrolytic lysosomial enzymes (Ac-Phase; Na-beta-Gase) and oxidative enzymes (SDH; Iso-DH; MADH) and ultrastructural aspect with TEM. The SEM observations showed the connection between morphovolumetric variations of uroepithelial cells and respiratory enzymatic …

Economic Evaluation of Health Services Costs During Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) Pdm09 Infection in Pregnant and Non-Pregnant Women in Spain

2016

Background: The healthcare and socio-economic burden resulting from influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 in Spain was considerable. Our aim was to estimate and compare the management (resource utilization) and economic healthcare impact in an at-risk group of unvaccinated pregnant women with an unvaccinated group of non-pregnant woman of childbearing age (15-44 yr old). Methods: We addressed this question with a longitudinal, observational, multicentre study. Inputs were the requirements in managing both groups of women. Outcome measures were healthcare costs. Direct healthcare (including medical utilisation, prescriptions of antivirals, medication, diagnostic tests, and hospitalisation) costs and indi…
