Standard international recommendations for gestational weight gain: suitability for our population
2020
Background: gestational weight gain (GWG) is one of the most commonly used indicators in prenatal care, and probably the most influential factor in perinatal outcomes. Objective: to determine the extent to which the GWG of pregnant women from the Ribera Health Department (Valencia) meets GWG international standards as recommended by the U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM). Methods: a retrospective observational study of a sample of 4,361 women who gave birth at Hospital Universitario de la Ribera between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2015. Pregnant women were classified according to GWG international recommendations: adequate weight gain, above and below. Results: a higher GWG increases the…
Pavese indifferente? Parentele segrete fra Gli indifferenti e Il diavolo sulle colline
2022
The article offers a comparison between Alberto Moravia and Cesare Pavese on the basis of two novels: The Time of Indifference (1929) and The Devil in the Hills (1949). After sketching the unfriendly relationship between these writers, I aim to show how close The Devil in the Hills was to Moravia’s poetics through the analysis of themes, imagery and literary ascendance. The essay ends with a close reading of Moravia’s article “Pavese decadente” (1954), generally neglected by critics: its flaws and contradictions help us to understand how close Pavese and Moravia were at a certain moment, despite their plain, mutual animosity.
Indicaciones de los inhibidores de PCSK9 en la práctica clínica. Recomendaciones de la Sociedad Española de Arteriosclerosis (SEA), 2019
2019
Resumen Un grupo de expertos convocado por la Sociedad Espanola de Arteriosclerosis (SEA) se ha encargado de actualizar el documento de la SEA sobre las indicaciones de los inhibidores de PCSK9 (iPCSK9) en la practica clinica publicadas en 2016. Esta actualizacion es necesaria porque en el periodo transcurrido hasta la actualidad se han publicado los resultados de los ensayos clinicos realizados a gran escala con iPCSK9 que demuestran que, ademas de su alta potencia para disminuir el colesterol aterogenico, disminuyen el riesgo de presentar episodios de enfermedad cardiovascular aterosclerotica en los pacientes con enfermedad tanto estable como reciente, y con un alto grado de seguridad. La…
Bioy Casares: neo-fantástico y deconstrucción
2016
The complex dynamics of space and time present in some of the stories of Adolfo Bioy Casares have their roots in the interstitial that separates the genres of fantasy and neo-fantasy, and most of all in the suggestion of ontological ideas and doubts that characterise the latter. Deeply rooted in the unknown land of a reality that is full of doubts, the literature of Bioy Casares seeks to restore, through the multiple games of fiction, the perception and perceptions of a continuous changes that end with generating parallel worlds. The neo-fantastic passes the crucial limit of traditional fantasy, the stable and certain dichotomy between the real and the imaginary, and to do this it relies on…
Levels of predominant intestinal microorganisms in 1 month-old full-term babies and weight gain during the first year of life
2021
The early life gut microbiota has been reported to be involved in neonatal weight gain and later infant growth. Therefore, this early microbiota may constitute a target for the promotion of healthy neonatal growth and development with potential consequences for later life. Unfortunately, we are still far from understanding the association between neonatal microbiota and weight gain and growth. In this context, we evaluated the relationship between early microbiota and weight in a cohort of full-term infants. The absolute levels of specific fecal microorganisms were determined in 88 vaginally delivered and 36 C-section-delivered full-term newborns at 1 month of age and their growth up to 12 …
Partners of nulliparous women with severe fear of childbirth: A longitudinal study of psychological well-being.
2018
Background Little is known about the psychological status of partners of women with severe fear of childbirth (FOC). In this longitudinal study from Helsinki University Central Hospital, we investigated FOC, depression, and posttraumatic stress in the partners of women with severe FOC, and possible effects of group psychoeducation and mode of birth.Methods: During pregnancy, 250 partners of nulliparous women with severe FOC participated, 93 in the intervention group and 157 in the control group. At 3 months postpartum, 52 partners in the intervention group and 93 in the control group participated. Both the partners and the childbearing women filled in the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experienc…
Neonatal sepsis caused by Ralstonia pickettii
2008
e describe the clinical case of apremature newborn, born at 26weeks by cesarean delivery, followed inthe neonatal intensive care unit. Themother was diabetic with adequate con-trol during pregnancy.Neonatal weight was 930 g;APGAR score 3 at 1 minute and 8 at 5minutes. She received forced ventilationby endotracheal tube and parenteralnutrition by a central venous catheter.She was treated with ampicillin for thefirst 20 days of life. At 25 days, apneaand bradychardia episodes occurredwith a progressive increment in sever-ity and frequency. Leukocytes, C-re-active protein, cerebral echography,and echocardiogram were normal.Oralfeeding was transiently stopped and rani-tidine treatment was starte…
Ante-, peri- and postnatal factors associated with intraventricular hemorrhage in very premature infants.
2017
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most serious complications in preterm infants and is associated with neurological sequelae and mortality. Over the past few decades, the rate of IVH has decreased due to improved neonatal intensive care. However, up to 15-25% of very and extremely premature infants (32 and28weeks of pregnancy (WOP) respectively) still suffer from IVH.The aim of this study was to perform an updated, multicenter analysis to identify ante-, peri, and postnatal factors other than gestational age/birth weight associated with IVH of any grade in a large cohort of very and extremely premature infants.We performed a retrospective analysis in a prospectively conducted …
Prenatal and neonatal risk factors for the development of enamel defects in low birth weight children
2009
Oral Diseases (2010) 16, 257–262 Objective: To analyse the influence of several prenatal and neonatal risk factors in the development of enamel defects in low birth weight children. Subjects and methods: Children between 4 and 5 years of age (n = 102) were classified into: Group 1) 52 low birth weight (<2500 g); Group 2) 50 normal birth weight (≥2500 g). Medical history, prenatal and neonatal variables were collected. Enamel defects were evaluated with the modified Developmental Defects of Enamel Index. Results: The prevalence of hypoplasia and average number of affected teeth were significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2 (59.6%vs 16% and 1.6 vs 0.3 respectively). Low gestational …
Body Mass Index and Weight Gain in Pregnant Women With HIV: A National Study in Italy.
2013
Although most of the women (69.4%) had a normal BMI at start of pregnancy, only 37% had an adequate weight gain during pregnancy. Inadequate body weight gain was more common (44.8%) than excessive weight gain (18.2%), but 40% of overweight women and 50% of obese women had an excessive weight gain in pregnancy, with about 9% of the women in these categories gaining >18 kg during pregnancy (Table 1). Only 1.9% of the women had a vaginal delivery; elective and nonelective cesarean deliveries accounted for 81.3% and 16.7% of deliveries, respectively. Compared to underweight/normal women, overweight/obese women had similar occurrences of preterm delivery (23.4% vs 22.7%, P = .871), significantly…
