Supraglottic airway devices for surfactant treatment: systematic review and meta-analysis
2019
Objective: To compare surfactant administration via supraglottic airway device (SAD) vs. nasal CPAP alone or INSURE. Study design: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Clinicaltrials.gov was performed. Articles meeting inclusion criteria (RCT, surfactant administration via SAD, laryngeal mask, I-gel) were assessed Results: Five RCTs were eligible. Surfactant administration via SAD reduced the need for intubation/mechanical ventilation (RR 0.57, 95%CI 0.38–0.85) and short-term oxygen requirements (MD −8.00, 95%CI −11.09 to −4.91) compared to nCPAP alone. Surfactant administration via SAD reduced the need for intubation/mechanical v…
Spontaneous labour at term is associated with fetal monocyte activation.
1999
SUMMARYThe aetiology of both term and preterm labour remains incompletely understood. Maternal infectious diseases as well as intra-uterine infections were shown to be a well established cause of uncontrollable preterm delivery, indicating that inflammatory reactions, regulated by maternal immunecompetent cells, are implicated in labour-promoting mechanisms. To investigate the possibility that the activation of the fetal immune system may be involved in labour induction, we examined cytokine production patterns of different cord blood cell populations obtained from neonates after spontaneous onset of normal term labour and vaginal delivery (n = 25), vaginal delivery but induced term labour …
L'histoire en chansons : de la mémorisation à la fabulation poético-narrative
2007
Los cantarcillos tradicionales del repertorio infantil asocian voz, oído, memoria y gesto con modalidades de complejidad variable ; el carácter familiar de tales cantares conocidos de todos explica que hast auna fecha muy reciente los filólogos no hayan prestado atencion a este tipo de composiciones de arte verbal. Sin embargo, tales poemas cantados permiten entrecruzar varios niveles de reflexion en torno a la memoria. Memoria creadora, primero (ya que ésta es el vector que permite fijar y transmitir estos textos abiertos) ; memoria estructurante, luego (en la mendida en que la arquitectura narrativa de estos poemas cantados depende intrinsecamente de las limitaciones que impone la memoriz…

Does the evidence matter in medicine? The retinoblastoma paradigm.
2007
Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common intraocular malignant tumour in childhood, with an incidence of 1 in 15,000 live births. Complete information on this rare tumour can be easily accessed through the internet, although many aspect concerning the aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease, are still controversial. The "two hit" theory, formulated in 1971 to explain the variegated clinical expression of the disease, is based on the idea that single gene mutation may determine the development of cancer. However, this view does not take into account the most recent evidences showing the role of aneuploidy and chromosome instability in cancer. Also, a number of other genes and epigenetic mech…
Breast-Feeding from an Evolutionary Perspective.
2021
Lactation is the most critical period of mammal feeding given the compulsory dependence on milk of the offspring during a more or less extensive period following birth. This has also been the case for the human species until relatively recent times when heterologous milk processing has allowed the alternative of artificial lactation. The advantages and disadvantages of natural and artificial lactation (formula) have been widely discussed from the biological, psychological and cultural perspectives, without reaching a general agreement among the breastfeeding women themselves or among the health professionals concerned. On the subject of breastfeeding, the information available is enormous b…

Modelos de familia desde el paradigma de la interculturalidad en los álbumes ilustrados en catalán
2013
Tanto el multiculturalismo americano como la interculturalidad europea han contemplado la posibilidad de abrir estos términos a una mayor diversidad que dé cuenta de una visión más abierta del concepto “cultura”. Para ello se suele aludir a la idea de diversidad que permite incluir algunos fenómenos de las sociedades pluriculturales difícilmente definibles. Es el caso de los diferentes modelos de familia que ofrecen un reto a nuestras sociedades para su integración en la sociedad en general, y en el ámbito escolar en particular. Sin embargo, los diferentes modelos de familia brillan por su ausencia en la Literatura Infantil y Juvenil contemporánea. En el presente artículo tomaremos como mue…
