Lukiolaisten yleisönosastotekstien rakenne ja argumentointi
2010
This thesis examines the structure and argumentation of letters to the editor written by Finnish upper secondary school students. The research material includes 89 texts and the objective of the study is to determine the structure and argumentation of these texts. The rationale for the study of these argumentative texts is: (i) Lack of structure and argumentation skills by upper secondary school students. This fact has previously been established by several studies. (ii) General concern about the lack of teaching of argumentative skills. (iii) Social pressure that requires one to possess the ability to express an opinion, justify it (orally or in writing) and to criticise the views of other…
Sistemas de compresión. Análisis de presiones. Estudio de diferentes procedimientos metodológicos.
2014
Objetivo: Los sistemas de compresión son sistemas que a través de sus componentes y su correcta utilización son capaces de conseguir una serie de objetivos biomecánicos en una zona concreta anatómica, previamente traumatizada o como prevención de un proceso traumático. El objetivo principal de este estudio es contrastar los diferentes estudios de investigación encontrados en las bases de datos para poder conocer qué sistemas de compresión son más efectivos en la clínica. Material y método: Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de tipo descriptiva por las diferentes bases de datos, como son Pubmed, Cochrane, Cuiden y Dialnet, con la finalidad de actualizar la información existente sobre los …
Delivery of Health Care by Spanish Dental Hygienists in Private and Public Dental Services during the COVID-19 De-Escalation Phase (June 2020): A Cro…
2021
Background: The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain posed a major challenge for Spanish dental professionals. The objective of this work is to describe the dental hygienists’ work status and employment patterns during the de-escalation phase in order to analyse the standards of knowledge, compliance with official recommendations, and dental activities both in the public health service and in the private sector. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was answered by Spanish dental hygienists via WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. The questionnaire was piloted before it was distributed and carried out during June 2020. Results: Here, 517 dental hygienists were surveyed…
Recommendations for ophthalmologic practice during the easing of COVID‐19 control measures
2021
Abstract In the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic, this paper provides recommendations for medical eye care during the easing of control measures after lockdown. The guidelines presented are based on a literature review and consensus among all Spanish Ophthalmology Societies regarding protection measures recommended for the ophthalmologic care of patients with or without confirmed COVID‐19 in outpatient, inpatient, emergency and surgery settings. We recommend that all measures be adapted to the circumstances and availability of personal protective equipment at each centre and also highlight the need to periodically update recommendations as we may need to readopt more restrictive measures de…
Fusion of the 1H NMR data of serum, urine and exhaled breath condensate in order to discriminate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructiv…
2015
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, affects the condition of the entire human organism and causes multiple comorbidities. Pathological lung changes lead to quantitative changes in the composition of the metabolites in different body fluids. The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, OSAS, occurs in conjunction with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in about 10–20 % of individuals who have COPD. Both conditions share the same comorbidities and this makes differentiating them difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to diagnose a patient with either COPD or the OSA syndrome using a set of selected metabolites and to determine whether the metabolites t…
"Doctor, tengo un bulto en la axila". Adenomegalia siliconomatosa postmamoplastia de aumento: a propósito de ocho casos
2010
La aparición de adenopatías axilares asociadas a mamoplastia de aumento mediante prótesis de silicona es un hecho infrecuente, no excepcional, y muy preocupante para paciente y cirujano. Hemos hecho una revisión de 1697 historias clínicas de pacientes sometidas a mamoplastia de aumento mediante prótesis de silicona al objeto de estudiar la relación entre roturas protésicas y adenopatías axilares Las 1697 pacientes se dividieron en grupos que cumplían 1, 2, 3, 5 y 7 años de haber sido intervenidas. Revisamos sus historias clínicas y estudiamos las que con posterioridad a la cirugía habían consultado por sospecha de rotura protésica y adenopatías axilares. No encontramos roturas protésicas an…
Our Assessment Using Palate Postoperative Problems Score (PPOPS): Tool for the Evaluation of Results in Palatal Surgery Techniques
2018
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is a chronic condition characterized by frequent episodes of collapse of upper airways during sleep. Prevalence of the disease is settled at about 3–7%. Today, palatal surgery is a reference point in OSAHS treatment and there are many different surgical techniques. The purpose of our work is to compare post-operative results of palate surgery techniques used in our practice in OSAHS patients, studying the degree of patients’ satisfaction with a recent score recommended by Rashwan et al. called PPOPS (Palate Post-Operative Problems Score). A retrospective study was performed on a sample of 40 patients subject to different palate surgery techniques for OSAS. …
Functional Nasal Surgery and Use of CPAP in OSAS Patients: Our Experience.
2018
The surgical correction of nasal obstruction is definitely effective and recommended in patients with poor CPAP compliance, often secondary to the high pressures that need to be given in patients with nasal sub stenosis. For this reason, the objective of this study is the evaluation of the effectiveness and effects of the functional nose surgery on adherence to CPAP- therapy in patients (with moderate to severe OSAS with indication of ventilation therapy) poorly compliant with CPAP. The study was performed on a sample of 52 patients, 40 male and 12 female, aged between 29 and 72 years followed by the Otolaryngology Unit of the University Palermo in the period between January 2015 and Januar…
