El apoyo social y la soledad de las mujeres mayores usuarias de teleasistencia
2016
Abstract.SOCIAL SUPPORT AND LONELINESS OF ELDERLY WOMEN TELECARE USERSLoneliness is a negative subjective experience based on the evaluation of the quality and the amount of the individual’s social interactions. Older adults’ social networks decrease because of losses associated to widowhood, retirement and an adaptive selection process; they eliminate those relations who are less intimate and the emotionally significant contacts are the only ones who remain. Because of these and other factors, elderly women who live alone were identified as being in major risk of feeling lonely. Objectives. 1. Learning about the prevalence of loneliness in a sample of older women who are users of a telecar…
La soledad de las mujeres mayores que viven solas
2017
España está entre los países más envejecidos del mundo y así como ocurre en otros países, los datos muestran una feminización del proceso de envejecimiento poblacional. Investigaciones recientes indican la preferencia de los españoles mayores por vivir en sus propias viviendas frente a mudarse a la casa de sus familiares o ser institucionalizados. A raíz de estos cambios sociodemográficos, se viene notando una creciente tendencia de los hogares unipersonales encabezados por personas mayores. Al ser más longevas, las mujeres tienen más probabilidad de vivir solas durante más años que los varones mayores. Desde el modelo de discrepancia cognitiva, la soledad es una sensación desagradable resu…

"Yhdessä toisten kanssa tehdessä oppii paitsi ruotsia, myös sosiaalisia taitoja ja yhdessä tekeminen tekee oppimisesta hauskaa." : gymnasisters åsikt…
2013
Tämän kvantitatiivisen tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää lukiolaisten suhtautumista ryhmätyöskentelyyn ruotsin kielen kursseilla. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin, mitkä asiat tekevät lukiolaisten mielestä ryhmätyöstä onnistuneen ja vastaavasti epäonnistuneen. Kolmantena tutkimuskysymyksenä tutkittiin, miten he suhtautuvat tiettyihin keskeisiin periaatteisiin ryhmätyöskentelyssä eli ryhmän heterogeeniseen koostumukseen, positiiviseen keskinäiseen riippuvuuteen, vuorovaikutukseen, yksilölliseen vastuuseen, sosiaalisiin taitoihin ja arviointiin. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin käyttämällä elektronista kyselylomaketta. Tutkimukseen osallistui 99 informanttia kolmesta lukiosta Keski-Suomen ja…
Cavernous sinus metastasis from oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
2007
Metastasis to the cavernous sinus from head and neck cancer is uncommon and has been previously reported by a few authors. It is usually a late manifestation of the primary tumor and may be the first evidence of a widespread dissemination of the disease. Main clinical findings are those related with involvement of cranial nerves III to VI as they pass through the cavernous sinus. Although diagnosis may be difficult, the appearance of clinical and radiological findings of cavernous sinus involvement in a context of head and neck cancer must alert us about an intracranial metastatic infiltration. In most cases treatment is palliative with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The prognosis of thi…
Gastric metastasis from breast cancer
2020
Introduction: Breast carcinoma is the most common malignancy in women and the main cause of tumor deaths. Despite early recognition by screening and improvement in treatment regimens, many patients will eventually develop metastases, either locoregional recurrences or distant metastases, most frequently in the skeleton, liver and lung. Metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are infrequent and not even mentioned in the major oncologic textbooks. Case presentation: We report a case of metastasis to the stomach from occult breast cancer. The diagnosis was established by computed tomography (CT), histologic and immunohistochemical analyses of biopsies of the stomach lesion. The patient was tr…
Mandibular metastasis from carcinoma of the bladder: Report of a case and literature review
2022
Metastases represent about 1% of all malignant tumors of the oral region. Only 12 cases of metastases to the jawbones and 3 to the oral soft tissues from a carcinoma of the bladder are reported in the English literature. Here we report a case of an 86 year-old man with a metastasis to the anterior region of the lower jaw from a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder treated 5 years before, all-together with a literature review.
Manifestaciones orales de la infección por VIH en la infancia: artículo de revisión
2004
La gran mayoría de niños con infección por VIH presentan, dentro de sus primeros signos de enfermedad, manifestaciones orales. Estas lesiones orales no están producidas directamente por dicho virus, son manifestaciones asociadas a la infección por VIH, ya que no son patognomónicas de la infección. Algunas de estas lesiones orales tienen un valor pronóstico de cara a la evolución de la infección y la aparición de SIDA, independientemente de otros marcadores de uso más común. Los factores de riesgo esenciales que predisponen al desarrollo de dichas manifestaciones orales son el bajo número de linfocitos T CD4+, xerostomía y la ausencia de tratamiento antiretroviral. Infecciones oportunistas c…
Prostatic adenocarcinoma with mandibular metastatic lesion : case report
2007
Metastatic lesions of primary tumors, which originate in different parts of the body, comprise almost 1 % of different types of oral cancers. These lesions can affect either bones or soft tissues in the maxillofacial region. Whenever the maxillofacial area is affected, the most common location is in the molar region of the mandible. The clinical presentation of mandibular metastasis follows a clinical pattern characterized by irradiated dental pain in the third molar region. The most frequent sign is parethesia of the area innervated by the mandibular alveolar dental nerve. Differential diagnosis and treatment of these patients can be extremely difficult because there a number of pathologic…
A case report of coexistence of a sialolith and an adenoid cystic carcinoma in the submandibular gland
2006
Ôhe occurrence of sialoliths in the submandibular gland is 80% due to the specific anatomy of both the gland and its duct. The diagnosis is rather easy because of the obvious clinical signs of the entity. Imaging studies are always necessary in order to treat the patient as effectively as possible. The stones do not tend to occur within the gland as frequently as in the respective duct. The coexistence of sialoliths and malignant tumors is extremely rare. A 70-year-old woman with intraparenchymal stone was operated in our ENT department. In addition to the sialolith the pathological examination revealed the existence of an adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), that extended to the neighboring ske…
