Rendimiento de las pruebas complementarias en el estudio de pacientes con dolor abdominal crónico
2021
Resumen: Introducción: El dolor abdominal crónico (DAC) en la infancia es un motivo de consulta frecuente que afecta a la vida familiar, y en ocasiones precisa realización de pruebas complementarias. El objetivo fue realizar el análisis cualitativo, cuantitativo y económico de las pruebas que se solicitan. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio observacional, prospectivo y multicéntrico, incluyendo pacientes entre 4-15 años con DAC. Se diferenciaron 2 grupos: orgánico y funcional. Se recogieron las siguientes variables: clínicas, pruebas complementarias y su coste. Resultados: Se incluyeron 235 niños con DAC (edad media 9,7 ± 2,7 años). Un 79% resultaron trastornos funcionales y un 21% orgánicos. Cas…
La rétropulsion du sujet âgé: mise au point sur un symptôme grave et proposition d'une échelle pour une évaluation quantifiée
2007
Resume Propos Bien qu'il n'existe a l'heure actuelle aucune donnee epidemiologique sur la retropulsion, ce trouble postural semble relativement frequent chez le sujet âge fragile. Actualites et points forts La retropulsion se caracterise par un dejettement posterieur du tronc en position assise, une insuffisance d'avancee du tronc dont la projection du tronc au sol est situee en arriere de la base de sustentation lors du passage assis–debout et une tendance a la chute en arriere en position debout. Plusieurs situations pathologiques aussi bien somatiques (lesions cerebrales degeneratives, ischemiques, traumatiques), que psychosomatiques (syndrome de desadaptation psychomotrice, alitement pr…
Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSD) in Construction Workers and Main Causes
2017
Construction industry still is characterized with physically demanding work duties despite the ongoing modernization of new technology. Construction work requires physical and psychosocial effort, working in compulsory and awkward postures. WRMSD are the most common health problems among employees in construction. The aim of this study was to determine WRMSD reasons caused by physical load and psychosocial risks at work for painters and tilers in the construction enterprise. Results of the study shows that causes of WRMSD in employed in construction, are not only physical risks at work, but also psychosocial risks, as well as individual attitude towards one’s own health.
Regular el juego para prevenir la adicción: hoy más necesario que nunca
2016
En mayo de 2013 aparecio la quinta edicion de la clasificacion de los trastornos mentales (DSM-5) de la American Psychiatric Association (APA, 2013), en la cual se incluye el trastorno de juego dentro de la categoria de trastornos adictivos, que es algo que era demandado desde hace decadas desde los ambitos clinicos, sociales y cientificos. El juego de azar, que segun la propia APA tiene la misma consideracion que las drogas o el alcohol en cuanto a la activacion de los circuitos cerebrales de recompensa y a las consecuencias clinicas del trastorno del juego, no tiene, sin embargo, esa consideracion desde el principal ambito desde donde se debe llevar a cabo la prevencion de la adiccion, qu…
Estrés y drogadicción: una perspectiva actualizada para 2020
2020
The role of stress in addiction is complex. In this editorial we highlight the main issues of interest in the ongoing research in relation to drug addiction and stress from an up-to-date perspective. Thus, taking into account that several bibliographic reviews have been published recently on the subject, the aim of this editorial has been to gather updated information in order to point out future directions of research that could make a valuable contribution to the knowledge about addictions and the role that stress plays in them. Finally, we stress the need for interdisciplinary research that addresses stress and addictions by incorporating and integrating physical and psychosocial facto…
Internal Structure and Measurement Invariance of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) in a (Nearly) Representative Dutch Community Sample
2016
The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire is a widely used instrument for assessment of emotional, external and restrained eating. The aim of the present study is to (i) analyse its internal structure using exploratory structural equation modelling; (ii) to assess its measurement invariance with respect to sex, BMI, age and level of education; and (iii) to evaluate the relations of the factors with these variables. Except that women were slightly over-represented, the sample (n = 2173) closely followed the sociodemographic characteristics of the overall Dutch population. The three theoretical factors that emerged from the analysis were in close correspondence with the three scales for emotion…
Bidimensional Structure of the Orthorexia: Development and Initial Validation of a New Instrument
2018
La ortorexia nerviosa puede entenderse como una preocupa- ción extrema o excesiva con alimentarse de comida considerada sana. Se puede distinguir entre ortorexia nerviosa y ortorexia saludable (interés en comer sano). Hasta ahora, no hay ningún instrumento disponible para eva- luar cada aspecto de la ortorexia con suficientes garantías psicométricas. El objetivo de este estudio era doble. Primero, desarrollar y validar un nuevo cuestionario de ortorexia –la Teruel Orthorexia Scale– y, segundo, analizar la asociación con otros contructos psicológicos y trastornos teóricamente relacionados con la ortorexia nerviosa: síntomas de trastornos de la alimen- tación, síntomas de trastorno obsesivo-c…
Recombinant factor VIII: past, present and future of treatment of hemophilia A.
2018
The development of recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) was initially driven by the necessity to treat hemophilia A (HA) patients with FVIII concentrates without the risk of transmitting infectious agents. Over the last three decades the safety of rFVIII has been further improved by completely removing animal or human proteins from the manufacturing process, so that patients would not be exposed to known or emerging pathogens. Recent efforts have concentrated on improving the expression of rFVIII, reducing its immunogenicity and enhancing its pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior. These new goals have been possible thanks to the develop-ment of biotechnology and a better knowledge of the function and s…
LRP1 Modulates APP Intraneuronal Transport and Processing in Its Monomeric and Dimeric State.
2017
The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1, LRP1, interacts with APP and affects its processing. This is assumed to be mostly caused by the impact of LRP1 on APP endocytosis. More recently, also an interaction of APP and LRP1 early in the secretory pathway was reported whereat retention of LRP1 in the ER leads to decreased APP cell surface levels and in turn, to reduced Aβ secretion. Here, we extended the biochemical and immunocytochemical analyses by showing via live cell imaging analyses in primary neurons that LRP1 and APP are transported only partly in common (one third) but to a higher degree in distinct fast axonal transport vesicles. Interestingly, co-expression of LRP1 a…
Type of chromosome abnormality affects embryo morphology dynamics.
2016
Objective To study the differences in the cleavage time between types of embryo chromosomal abnormalities and elaborate algorithm to exclude aneuploid embryos according to the likelihood to be euploid. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting University affiliated private center. Patient(s) Preimplantational genetic screening patients (n = 112) including cases of advanced maternal age, repeated implantation failure, and recurrent miscarriage. A total of 485 embryos were analyzed. Intervention(s) None.
