HLA-DQ de enfermedad celíaca en pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal crónica

2015

Introducción: La enfermedad celíaca (EC) y la Enfermedad Inflamatoria Intestinal Crónica (EIIC, que incluye CU –colitis ulcerosa- y ECr –Enfermedad de Crohn-) son enfermedades cuya incidencia y prevalencia va en aumento, y en las que se consideraba que tener una de ellas aumentaba la predisposición a la otra. El HLA-DQ 2 y DQ8, de riesgo de EC (HLA-EC), tiene un alto valor predictivo negativo, estando presente en el 95-99% de los celíacos. Nuestra hipótesis era que el HLA-EC no es más frecuente en la EIIC. Material y método: Se incluyeron prospectivamente pacientes adultos con EIIC, de origen caucásico, de nuestra Unidad de EIIC. Se les realizaba entrevista, estudio de su historia clínica y…

Administration of care to older patients in transition from hospital to home care services: Home nursing leaders' experiences

2013

Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare. Also available from the Publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/JMDH.S51947 Open access Background: Older persons in transition between hospital and home care services are in a particularly vulnerable situation and risk unfortunate consequences caused by organizational inefficiency. The purpose of the study reported here was to elucidate how home nursing leaders experience the administration of care to older people in transition from hospital to their own homes. Methods: A qualitative study design was used. Ten home nursing leaders in two municipalities in southern Norway participated in individual inte…

Administration of care to older patients in transition from hospital to home care services: home nursing leaders' experiences.

2013

Background Older persons in transition between hospital and home care services are in a particularly vulnerable situation and risk unfortunate consequences caused by organizational inefficiency. The purpose of the study reported here was to elucidate how home nursing leaders experience the administration of care to older people in transition from hospital to their own homes. Methods A qualitative study design was used. Ten home nursing leaders in two municipalities in southern Norway participated in individual interviews. The interview texts were audio taped, transcribed verbatim and analyzed by use of a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach. Results Three main themes and seven subthemes we…

Spirituality and Sustainability of Interreligious/Interdenominational Dialogue in Theological Study Programs

2019

Abstract This article is part of broader research on “The Interrelationship of Theology and Praxis in the Context of Sustainable Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue”1 in which we explore two essential concepts: sustainability and interreligious dialogue. We have narrowed this broader topic to study how facilitation of students’ spirituality in theology study programmes develops an environment for sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue. We provide a theoretical glimpse into research from theology, pedagogy, and spirituality. Our future research process will be based on our findings. One of the current challenges is globalization, which coincides with diversificat…

Prevalence of visual impairment and refractive errors in an urban area of Mexico

2019

AIM: To determine the distribution of refractive errors in a school-age population in Quintana Roo (Mexico) in the framework of an international cooperation campaign for the prevention of blindness. METHODS: A sample of 2647 school-age children (ranging from 5 to 14 years old) with a mean age of 9.1±1.9 years old were tested by trained volunteers for distance visual acuity (VA) and refractive errors. The first screening examination included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and VA with a +2.00 D lens. Inclusion criteria for a second complete cycloplegic eye examination performed by an optometrist were UDVA <20/25 (0.10 logMAR or 0.8 decimal) and/or VA with +2.00 D ≥20/25. RESULTS: A…

Endothelial cells loss to the hyperopic pacients during phacoemulsification

2018

Introduction The phacoemulsification cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgery and it generally improves vision in over 90% of the patients. Hyperopic patients are a challenge during phacoemulsification especially because of their short eyeball and shallow anterior chamber. A shallow anterior chamber is associated with overall reduction of the safe zone, which may lead to difficulty in creating the corneal incisions, harder capsulorhexis performing, or endothelial complications. Purpose The aim of the study was to present the endothelial cells loss after the phacoemulsification procedure in the hyperopic patients. Material and methods A number of 1775 patients operated in th…

Molecular Pathways Implicated in Radioresistance of Glioblastoma Multiforme: What Is the Role of Extracellular Vesicles?

2023

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a primary brain tumor that is very aggressive, resistant to treatment, and characterized by a high degree of anaplasia and proliferation. Routine treatment includes ablative surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, GMB rapidly relapses and develops radioresistance. Here, we briefly review the mechanisms underpinning radioresistance and discuss research to stop it and install anti-tumor defenses. Factors that participate in radioresistance are varied and include stem cells, tumor heterogeneity, tumor microenvironment, hypoxia, metabolic reprogramming, the chaperone system, non-coding RNAs, DNA repair, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). We direct our a…
