Desarrollo de nuevas estrategias en cromatografía líquida para el análisis de muestras complejas

2023

Desde los años 70, el uso de la cromatografía líquida de alta resolución (HPLC, High Performance Liquid chromatography) ha ido creciendo en los laboratorios analíticos, siendo actualmente la técnica de separación analítica más utilizada. Desafortunadamente, la eficacia suele ser menor que la que se logra en otras técnicas de separación como la cromatografía de gases y la electroforesis capilar. Esto restringe el análisis de muestras complejas. De ahí el gran esfuerzo dedicado a aumentar la eficacia y selectividad en HPLC, con importantes mejoras desde el inicio de la técnica. A pesar de los avances en las últimas décadas, con el desarrollo de instrumentación cada vez más sofisticada, y la m…

Optimización de la medida de la calidad de vida en personas mayores con dependencia en centros residenciales de Guipúzcoa: Escalas Fumat y Qualid

2019

La investigación tuvo como objetivo poner a disposición de los centros residenciales un conjunto de herramientas validadas para la medida de la calidad de vida de personas mayores con dependencia, tanto con como sin deterioro cognitivo grave, que fueran ágiles y sirvieran para orientar el diseño de intervenciones y guiar la implantación de modelos de atención centrados en la calidad de vida de las personas. La escala FUMAT ADAPTADA se construyó con 24 ítems rescatados de la escala FUMAT (Verdugo, Gómez y Arias, 2009) de entre los que los 22 profesionales de 4 grupos focales validaron para su uso en centros residenciales. Se validó confirmatoriamente (n=191), al igual que la escala QUALID (W…

Taxonomy and conservation ofPancratium maritimum(Amaryllidaceae) and relatives in the Central Mediterranean

2015

Pancratium maritimum L. (Amaryllidaceae) is a geophyte occurring in the Mediterranean region, from the Black Sea to part of the Atlantic coast. This plant is receiving much attention from the international scientific community due to its value as a bioindicator, the potential industrial value of its chemical compounds, and its use as a commercial ornamental plant. Plant morphometry and sequences of three plastid DNA regions (rbcL, matK, trnH-psbA) were used to assess the phenotypic and genetic variability of this taxon and its closest congeneric species (in particular Pancratium linosae, from the volcanic island of Linosa) in the Central Mediterranean (Sicily, Tunisia and surrounding island…

Didaktiska val vid mångkulturell utbildning : didaktiska val vid undervisning av mångkulturella grupper inom yrkesutbildningen i Finland

2011

This article discusses didactic choises in A Multicultural School with a fair pedagogy. The concept of fair pedagogy scrutinizes the curriculum, the support of the teachers, the working methods, evaluation and communication of the school. As an increasing part of the students within vocational education having immigrant backgrounds are adults, their education should be seen from adult pedagogical perspective. Results concerning equitable pedagogy, based on an empirical research at four colleges of social and healthcare vocational education, are presented. The data was collected 2000-2001 through interviews, observations and by a questionnaire. The material was analysed qualitatively by usin…

Pfeiffer syndrome: clinical and genetic findings in five Brazilian families

2014

Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) is mainly characterized by craniosysnostosis, midface hypoplasia, great toes with partial syndactyly of the digits and broad and medially deviated thumbs. It is caused by allelic mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and 2 (FGFR1 and 2) genes. This study describes the clinical and genetic features of five Brazilian families affected by PS. All patients exhibited the classical phenotypes related to PS. The genetic analysis was able to detect the mutations Cys278Phe, Cys342Arg, and Val359Leu in three of these families. Two mutations were de novo, with one familial. We identified pathogenic mutations in four PS cases in five Brazilian families by PCR seque…

Acupuncture in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders, facial pain, and postural neuromuscular disorders. Presentation of a clinical case

2021

Abstract Background and objectives Temporomandibular disorders have a multifactorial etiology and involve the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint and associated structures. Therefore, different treatments are proposed and used. The aim of this paper is the use of acupuncture to treat temporomandibular disorders and associated symptoms. This article presents a clinical case study of a 39-year-old patient who presented temporomandibular disorders and headache of muscular origin. Results After 10 acupuncture sessions, the results were highly satisfactory, with complete relief of headache pain and absence of joint disorders. These results suggest the efficacy of acupuncture in the symp…

The symbolic shape of the tumulus in the landscape musealisation

2007

The meaning of “cultural patrimony” includes today both the objects and the popular traditions. Territory, local architecture, daily life uses and customs have been placed side by side to “dignified” finds in the role of testimony of the past. Such testimony is firmly connected to the territory and its landscape. In fact, the sites of archaeological interest, but mostly the prehistoric sites, are recognized not only for their intrinsic value, but also for the space that they represent. Today, a greater attention is paid to natural environment and there is a greater awareness that the “archaeological patrimony” assumes a connotation more and more tied up to the territory that identifies it. …

Fourth case of louse-borne relapsing fever in Young Migrant, Sicily, Italy, December 2015. Mini Review Article

2016

Abstract Objectives Currently louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is primarily found in limited endemic foci in Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan; no case of imported LBRF has been reported in Europe in the 9 years prior to 2015. The aim of our paper is to describe a new case of imported LBRF detected in Sicily, Italy, and to review all cases reported in migrants arrived in Europe in the last 10 years. Study design Mini review of all published cases of louse-borne relapsing fever in Europe in the last 10 years. Methods A computerized search without language restriction was conducted using PubMed combining the terms ‘(louse-borne relapsing fever or LBRF or recurrentis) and (refugee or Europe or mig…

Neck–Shoulder Region Training for Chronic Headache in Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial

2023

Objectives We investigated whether a specific exercise program for the neck–shoulder region reduces headache intensity, frequency, and duration, and how it influences neck disability among women with chronic headache compared to a control group. Design Two-center randomized controlled trial. Subjects 116 working-age women. Intervention The exercise group (n = 57) performed a home-based program with six progressive exercise modules, over 6 months. The control group (n = 59) underwent six placebo-dosed transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation sessions. Both groups performed stretching exercises. Main measures The primary outcome was pain intensity of headache, assessed using the Numeric Pa…
