Deconstructing and reconstructing resilience: a dynamic network approach

2019

Resilience is still often viewed as a unitary personality construct that, as a kind of anti-nosological entity, protects individuals against stress-related mental problems. However, increasing evidence indicates that the maintenance of mental health in the face of adversity results from complex and dynamic processes of adaptation to stressors that involve the activation of several separable protective factors. Such resilience factors can reside at biological, psychological and social levels and may include stable predispositions (such as genotype or personality traits) and malleable properties, skills, capacities or external circumstances (such as gene expression patterns, emotion regulatio…

Palliative sedation in advanced cancer patients followed at home: A retrospective analysis

2012

Abstract CONTEXT: Data regarding palliative sedation at home in dying patients are lacking. OBJECTIVES: To describe the frequency, indication, and modality of palliative sedation (PS) in patients followed at home. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of home care cancer patients was performed. Patients who received PS before dying were selected and information about epidemiologic characteristics, indications, duration, drugs, and outcomes was collected. RESULTS: Of 370 medical charts of patients who died at home, 49 patients received PS before dying. PS was proposed by the team, relatives, or both in 63.3%, 4.1%, and 32.6% of cases, respectively. Delirium alone or in combination with other sym…

Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in zoonoses. A systematic review

2012

BACKGROUND: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare syndrome that is often fatal despite treatment. It is caused by a dysregulation in natural killer T-cell function, resulting in activation and proliferation of histiocytes with uncontrolled hemophagocytosis and cytokines overproduction. The syndrome is characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, liver dysfunction, and hyperferritinemia. HLH can be either primary, with a genetic aetiology, or secondary, associated with malignancies, autoimmune diseases, or infections. AIM: To focus on secondary HLH complicating zoonotic diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed search of human cases of HLH occurring during zoonotic dise…

El Portfolio Europeo de las Lenguas (PEL): herramienta de evaluación de la composición escrita en español como lengua extranjera

2013

Introducción Esta tesis pretende dar respuesta a uno de los desafíos que enfrentan los profesores de lenguas segundas (L2): mejorar la calidad de la evaluación de la expresión escrita. Partimos de la base del Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas (MCER), publicado por el Consejo de Europa con la intención de orientar la enseñanza y evaluación de lenguas, y del Portfolio Europeo de las Lenguas (PEL), cuyo propósito es aplicar en el aula los principios del MCER. Nos preguntamos si el PEL, que ha sido ampliamente experimentado en Educación Primaria y Secundaria, puede ser también útil como herramienta de evaluación de la composición escrita en niveles universitarios con estudiante…

Sex-specific genetic differences in endurance swimming of Trinidadian guppies

2015

Swim performance is considered a main fitness-determining trait in many aquatic organisms. Swimming is generally the only way most aquatic prey can escape predation, and swimming capacity is directly linked to food capture, habitat shifts, and reproduction. Therefore, evolutionary studies of swim performance are important to understand adaptation to aquatic environments. Most studies, however, concentrate on the importance of burst-swim responses to predators, and little is known about its effect on endurance. Even fewer studies associate differences in organism swim capabilities to key gender-specific responses. In this experiment, we assess the gender-specific genetic basis of swimming en…

Il Fast Track nelle fratture di femore può davvero favorire risultati clinici migliori?

2016

Le attuali linee guida raccomandano di effettuare il trattamento chirurgico di stabilizzazione o sosti- tuzione protesica entro 24-48 ore dall’accesso ospedaliero, al ne di migliorare il risultato funziona- le, ridurre il rischio di mortalità, la degenza ospedaliera e le complicazioni post-operatorie. Tuttavia, la mancanza di studi randomizzati rappresenta un importantissimo limite scienti co dal momento che ad oggi la migliore evidenza scienti ca sul timing chirurgico nelle fratture di collo femore si basa esclusivamente su studi prospettici e retrospettivi. In questo articolo, viene descritto il percorso ospedaliero per il trattamento delle fratture del collo del femore nel paziente anzia…

Sex-specific genetic differences in endurance swimming of Trinidadian guppies.

2015

Abstract Swim performance is considered a main fitness‐determining trait in many aquatic organisms. Swimming is generally the only way most aquatic prey can escape predation, and swimming capacity is directly linked to food capture, habitat shifts, and reproduction. Therefore, evolutionary studies of swim performance are important to understand adaptation to aquatic environments. Most studies, however, concentrate on the importance of burst‐swim responses to predators, and little is known about its effect on endurance. Even fewer studies associate differences in organism swim capabilities to key gender‐specific responses. In this experiment, we assess the gender‐specific genetic basis of sw…
