Social-cognitive outcomes of teachers’ engagement in learning communities
2014
Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to seek to investigate Etienne Wenger's theory of social learning in a community of practice by modeling two simultaneous aspects of teachers’ collaborative learning: their engagement in close-knit internal groupings and engagement with colleagues that work externally to the core group. These two learning processes are related to two social-cognitive outcomes: teachers’ organizational commitment and their sense of impact.Design/methodology/approach– The study investigated a field sample of 246 individual teachers from ten Finnish primary schools. Hypotheses were developed and tested by using multiple regression and structural equation modeling.Findings–…

Initial experiences in radiology e-learning
2007
The use of two different educator-centric learning management systems (LMSs), Moodle and Manila, for radiology e-learning was formatively evaluated and the implications of the future use of LMSs in radiology education were explored. NeuroRAD, a neuroradiologic digital library and learning community, is implemented with Moodle, one of the most popular open-source educator-centric LMSs. Pediatric-Education.org, a pediatric digital library and learning community, is implemented with Manila, a commercial educator-centric LMS. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of these LMSs were performed with World Wide Web server log file statistical programs and user-submitted comment forms. In 2005, Neur…
Aetiology of community acquired pneumonia in Valencia, Spain: a multicentre prospective study.
1991
A year long multicentre prospective study was carried out in the Valencia region of Spain, to determine the cause of community acquired pneumonia. The study was based on 510 of 833 patients with pneumonia. Of these, 462 were admitted to hospital, where 31 patients died. A cause was established in only 281 cases--208 of bacterial, 60 of viral, and 13 of mixed infection. The most common microorganisms were Streptococcus pneumoniae (14.5%), Legionella sp (14%), Influenza virus (8%), and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (4%). There was a higher incidence of Legionella sp than in other studies.
Community-Acquired Pneumonia Patients at Risk for Early and Long-term Cardiovascular Events Are Identified by Cardiac Biomarkers.
2019
Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) increases the risk of cardiovascular complications during and following the episode. The goal of this study was to determine the usefulness of cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers for assessing the risk of early (within 30 days) or long-term (1-year follow-up) cardiovascular events. Methods A total of 730 hospitalized patients with CAP were prospectively followed up during 1 year. Cardiovascular (proadrenomedullin [proADM], pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP), proendothelin-1, and troponin T) and inflammatory (interleukin 6 [IL-6], C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin) biomarkers were measured on day 1, at day 4/5, and at day 30. Resu…

Xavier López-Labrador. On 9 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Influenza Programme (GIP) asked participant sites on the Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network (GIHSN) to contribute to data collection concerning severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We re-analysed 5833 viral RNA archived samples collected prospectively from hospital admissions for influenza-lik…
Cardiovascular Events During and After Bronchiectasis Exacerbations and Long-term Mortality.
2022
ABSTRACT Background Population-based and retrospective studies have shown that risk for cardiovascular events such as arrythmias, ischemic episodes or heart failure, increase during and after bronchiectasis exacerbations. Research Question What are the risk factors for cardiovascular events (CVE) during and after bronchiectasis exacerbations and its impact on mortality? Study Design and Methods This was a post-hoc retrospective analysis of a prospective observational study of 250 patients with bronchiectasis at two tertiary care hospitals. Only the first exacerbation was considered for each patient, collecting demographic, comorbidity, and severity data. The main outcomes were the appearanc…
Tabaquismo en sanitarios. Identificación de factores asociados
1998
The objective of this study was to determine the epidemiology of smoking among health care givers in our setting and to describe their characteristics. We gave an anonymous questionnaire to 566 health care workers in the Valencian Community (248 physicians, 212 nurses and 106 aides). The results were as follows. Physicians: 46.4% were smokers, 25.4% were non smokers and 28.2% were ex-smokers. Most (69.3%) smoked 11 to 20 cigarettes/day. Low scores on Fagerstrom's test were recorded for 93%, and 57.3% have tried to quit smoking more than 5 times. The likelihood of being and ex-smoker increased with age (r = 0.158; p = 0.012) and with the number of attempts to quit (r = 0.170; p = 0.021). Nur…

Acoso escolar y Educación Física: una revisión sistemática (Bullying in schools and Physical Education: A systematic review)
2018
El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión sistemática de estudios sobre acoso escolar y Educación Física (EF). Se identifican, categorizan y analizan los artículos señalando sus características y sintetizando los principales temas de investigación y su contenido. Para ello, se ha consultado la base de datos Web of Science®. Se seleccionaron un total de 19 artículos científicos. Respecto al análisis documental, se presentan hallazgos sobre revistas más productivas, autores e instituciones con mayor actividad investigadora en este campo y metodología de investigación utilizada en los estudios encontrados. Además, se hace un análisis cualitativo centrado en el contenido de los 4 tem…
