El aumento del racismo y la xenofobia en las sociedades europeas y el hecho de que los marroquíes, en particular, constituyan el colectivo inmigrante más rechazado por los españoles motiva la propuesta de club de lectura a partir de dos obras de LIJ (literatura infantil y juvenil) de autoras transculturales, en el marco de la educación literaria e intercultural, que presentamos en este artículo y que proponemos evaluar a través de un cuestionario pretest-postest, empleando un diseño de investigación cuasi-experimental. Con esta perseguimos que el alumnado de Secundaria al que se dirige tenga ocasión de: (1) incrementar sus conocimientos sobre la cultura árabe, (2) reflexionar sobre el desar…
Leishmania tarentolae and Leishmania infantum in humans, dogs and cats in the Pelagie archipelago, southern Italy.
2021
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania infantum is endemic in the Mediterranean basin with most of the infected human patients remaining asymptomatic. Recently, the saurian-associated Leishmania tarentolae was detected in human blood donors and in sheltered dogs. The circulation of L. infantum and L. tarentolae was investigated in humans, dogs and cats living in the Pelagie islands (Sicily, Italy) by multiple serological and molecular testing. Human serum samples (n = 346) were tested to assess the exposure to L. infantum by immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot (WB) and to L. tarentolae by IFAT. Meanwhile, sera from do…
"Click" on PLGA-PEG and hyaluronic acid: gaining access to anti-leishmanial pentamidine bioconjugates
2018
Pentamidine (Pent), an antiparasitic drug used for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis, has been modified with terminal azide groups and conjugated to two different polymer backbones (PLGA-PEG [PP] copolymer and hyaluronic acid [HA]) armed with alkyne end-groups. The conjugation has been performed by Copper Catalyzed Azido Alkyne Cycloaddition (CuAAC) using CuSO4/sodium ascorbate as metal source. The novel PP-Pent and HA-Pent bioconjugates are proposed, respectively, as non-targeted and targeted drug delivery systems against Leishmania infections. Moreover, Pent has been encapsulated into PP nanoparticles by the oil-in-water emulsion method, with the aim to compare the biological activi…
Kultura muzyczna Zgromadzenia Sióstr Karmelitanek Dzieciątka Jezus na podstawie śpiewnika Florete flores
2022
Wśród wielu obecnych w Polsce zgromadzeń zakonnych odnaleźć można te, które budują swoją tożsamość wokół duchowej spuścizny proroka Eliasza i Najświętszej Maryi Panny z Góry Karmel. Pierwotnie był to pustelniczy zakon braci karmelitów, następnie dołączyły do nich siostry karmelitanki bose. Od 100 lat do rodziny karmelitańskiej należy także Zgromadzenie Sióstr Karmelitanek Dzieciątka Jezus. Muzyka stanowi istotny element życia wspólnotowego sióstr. W trosce o zachowanie od zapomnienia najdawniejszych śpiewów oraz podtrzymywanie zwyczajów wspólnoty, karmelitanki przygotowały zbiór Floreteflores... Śpiewnik Zgromadzenia Sióstr Karmelitanek Dzieciątka Jezus. Został on wydany w 2015 roku w Marka…
Neuropsychological rehabilitation in children with central nervous system tumors and irradiated leukemias
2012
Actualmente la intervención e investigación en psicooncología pediátrica se dirige hacia la evaluación de las consecuencias de la enfermedad y los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos, y a los factores predictivos tanto de desajustes como de aspectos adaptativos a la enfermedad del paciente y de su familia. Las tasas de curación alcanzadas en la actualidad, nos permiten contar con un número considerable de supervivientes de cáncer infantil, susceptibles de ser evaluados y poder determinar así las secuelas a largo plazo de la enfermedad y sus procedimientos terapéuticos. Además de incrementar considerablemente la supervivencia, también se ha mejorado la calidad de vida de los niños, media…
Impact of Three Kinds of Early Interventions on Developmental Profile in Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder
2022
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a rising prevalence disorder. This high-cost/high-burden condition needs evidence-based behavioral treatments that are able to reduce the impact of symptoms on children’s functioning. This retrospective chart review study compared the impact of different types of early interventions on toddlers diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder developmental profile. Analyses were conducted on 90 subjects (mean = 27.76 months, range 18–44 months; M:F = 4.29:1), of which 36 children underwent the usual treatment, 13 children underwent an intervention based on early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) and 41 children rece…
The effects of combining kangaroo care and parental singing on premature infants' and parents' wellbeing and development of parent-infant relationship
2014
After experiencing premature birth, fragile infants have to spend weeks and even months on the ward because of their medical needs. This can be stressful both for parents and infants and increase the risk of early interaction problems and difficulty in bonding. In this qualitative study I was interested to find out what kinds of experiences parents had with parental singing during kangaroo care. I was also interested in examining the nursing staff’s attitudes, observations and thoughts about using music on the ward. I conducted my study within a Kangaroo Families study on the L2 ward at Jorvi hospital, Espoo. My study consists of interviews from 4 mothers that participated in the Kangaroo F…
The Modifying Mirror
2023
Abstract This chapter compares music listening with the infant’s experience of care. Several scholars have argued that music can be used for scaffolding one’s self-experience. Developmental psychologists, in turn, maintain a wide consensus over the claim that, in early interaction, the attuned caregiver supports and modifies the infant’s self-experience in various ways. The chapter brings these phenomena together, illustrating how the examination of the early self/other relation can teach us something important concerning the listener/music relation. The first section elaborates on the scaffolding function of music and clarifies two ambiguities haunting the debate. The second section reloca…

A case report of double etiology of ecthyma gangrenosum
2019
Abstract Rationale: Ecthyma gangrenosum is a cutaneous infection, most commonly occurring during sepsis evolution with Pseudomonas aeruginosa on an immunocompromised background. There have been rare case reports in previously healthy children and rarer are the cases with double etiology. Patient concerns: We present the case of a female Caucasian patient, aged 1 year and 8 months, who developed severe sepsis during flu evolution with predominant respiratory and cerebral manifestations. On admission, at skin level, there was noticed a necrotic coccygeal ulceration (with rapid increasing dimensions 0.5/0.5 cm in 24 hours), and with the transformation from a dry necrosis in a sphacelus at the …
