Balance performance analysis after the COVID-19 quarantine in children aged between 8 and 12 years old: Longitudinal study.
2022
Background: Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused great changes in daily activities, especially in children. In Spain, to avoid infections, a home quarantine was declared, which caused a drastic reduction in daily or weekly physical activity in children. Objective: to analyse the balance performance after the COVID-19-induced quarantine on children's balance, through the use of balance tests, considering the type of sport practiced. Methods: an observational and longitudinal study was carried out with a sample size of 150 healthy children (69 boys and 81 girls) with a mean age of 10.02 ± 1.15 years. Postural control was evaluated under different equilibrium conditions before and a…
Interacción genético-ambiental en la modulación de adipocitoquinas y marcadores de inflamación en su asociación con obesidad y otros factores de ries…
2011
La obesidad es una enfermedad metabólica resultado del desequilibrio entre el consumo y el gasto energético, con el consecuente aumento de la cantidad de grasa corporal. Este aumento de grasa corporal produce un desequilibrio en la secreción de adipocitoquinas y marcadores de inflamación relacionado con diversas complicaciones clínicas asociadas con la obesidad y otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Las investigaciones de las últimas décadas han permitido un notable aumento en la compresión de los mecanismos moleculares que regulan la homeostasis de la energía, poniendo de manifiesto la importancia de los factores ambientales en la modulación de las reservas energéticas. Además, la vari…
Does Function Determine the Structure? Changes in Flexor Hallucis Longus Muscle and the Associated Performance Related to Dance Modality: A Cross-Sec…
2020
Background and Objectives: Flexor hallucis longus pathology is one of the most common conditions of the ankle and foot in dancers, due to the high demand of dance movements performed in an extreme plantar flexion and dorsiflexion range of motion. The objectives of this study were to determine the bilateral differences between the thickness and cross-sectional area of the flexor hallucis longus muscle in dancers, to establish possible differences between dance modalities, and to analyze whether there is a correlation between ultrasonographic parameters or performance variables and the dance modality. Material and Methods: A sample of 50 (29 classical and 21 contemporary) full-time pre-profes…
Sex Differences in Frail Older Adults with Foot Pain in a Spanish Population: An Observational Study
2020
Frailty is a condition that can increase the risk of falls. In addition, foot pain can influence older adults and affect their frail condition. The main objective was to measure the frailty degree in older adults in a Spanish population with foot pain from moderate to severe. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. A sample of people older than 60 years (n = 52), including 26 males and 26 females, were recruited, and frailty disability was measured using the 5-Frailty scale and the Edmonton Frailty scale (EFS). Results: Spearman&rsquo
Patient Safety Through the Analysis of «Grey’s Anatomy»; Season 6, Episode 6. I Saw What I Saw
2016
Patient safety constitutes a public health problem due to the repercussions that has in the care process and in the patients. The viewing of Grey’s Anatomy Episode “I saw what I saw” allows to value the importance of searching for the causes of an error and, at the same time, allows to detect commonplace situations (stress, organization, personal and ambient factors) that increase the possibility of errors in class. The process enables students to realize the importance not only of personal aspects, but of multiple possible causes of errors and the importance of health planning.
Self-Care and Sense of Coherence: A Salutogenic Model for Health and Care in Nursing Education
2022
Background: Effective advocacy on self-care and the enhancement of a sense of coherence among nurses don’t only benefit control over one’s health and personal performance, but it may have a direct impact on clinical care and on the entire healing system. In this regard, nursing curricula grounded on a salutogenic model of health (SMH) operate with strategies to engage students in self-care and contribute to improving their mental health and wellbeing. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between self-care agency and a sense of coherence as dependent variables and the age and self-reported academic performance as independent variables in nursing assistant studen…
Importance of nutritional assessment tools in the critically ill patient: A systematic review
2023
BackgroundAmong the risks of the critically ill patient, one of the aspects to be taken into account is the high probability of occurrence of malnutrition risk (40–50%). This process leads to increased morbimortality and worsening. The use of assessment tools allows the individualization of care.ObjectiveTo analyze the different nutritional assessment tools used during the admission of critically ill patients.MethodsSystematic review of the scientific literature related to the nutritional assessment of critically ill patients. Between January 2017 and February 2022, articles were rescued from the electronic databases “Pubmed,” “Scopus,” “CINAHL” and “The Cochrane Library”; which will analyz…
Evaluación del manejo del inhalador presurizado de dosis media en el paciente pediátrico
2021
Objetivo principal: Evaluar el manejo del inhalador presurizado de dosis mediaen el paciente pediátrico.Meto do log ía: Estu d io e xplo r ato rio transversal y evaluativo a través de un cuestionario con preguntas cerradas. Se creó un índice (Ic; escala de 0 a 1) para valorar el uso correcto de los inhaladores. Resultados principales: La puntuación media obtenida del uso correcto fue de Ic=0,64 (d.e. +/-0,176). Aunque e ste ín dice es superior en los casos en los que se declara haber recibido una explicación (Ic=0,65) con relación a los que indican que no (Ic=0,5 3) , n o se encontró significación estadística entre dicha diferencia (p=0,331). Asimismo, se apreció que cuando es el person al …
An instrument to measure nurses’ knowledge in palliative care: Validation of the Spanish version of Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses
2017
Background Palliative care is nowadays essential in nursing care, due to the increasing number of patients who require attention in final stages of their life. Nurses need to acquire specific knowledge and abilities to provide quality palliative care.

Purpose To report the adaptation into the Spanish language and the psychometric analysis of the Palliativ…
Análisis comparativo de las funciones de predicción del riesgo cardiovascular SCORE y Framingham y sus versiones calibradas, SCORE calibrada y REGIDO…
2009
Introducción: Las recomendaciones del ATPIII y las SSCC europeas en prevención primaria cardiovascular aconsejan para la estimación del riesgo individual las funciones de Framingham y SCORE respectivamente. Ambas disponen de versiones calibradas para la población española. Todas, excepto Framingham(ATPIII), han sido derivadas para aplicarlas en un rango de edad limitado. Por otra parte, ninguna de estas funciones predice el riesgo cardiovascular total, ya que SCORE y SCORE calibrada sólo estima el riesgo de muerte y Framingham(ATPIII) y REGICOR el riesgo coronario. Sin embargo todas las medidas preventivas van dirigidas a la prevención de la enfermedad cardiovascular globalmente y las funci…
