International BEAT-PCD Consensus Statement for Infection Prevention and Control for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in collaboration with ERN-LUNG PCD Cor…

2021

Introduction In primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) impaired mucociliary clearance leads to recurrent airway infections and progressive lung destruction, and concern over chronic airway infection and patient-to-patient transmission is considerable. So far, there has been no defined consensus on how to control infection across centres caring for patients with PCD. Within the BEAT-PCD network, COST Action and ERS CRC together with the ERN-Lung PCD core a first initiative has now been taken towards creating such a consensus statement. Methods A multidisciplinary international PCD expert panel was set up to create a consensus statement for infection prevention and control (IP&C) for PCD, covering …

La aceptación de la enfermedad: una forma de prevención del SIDA

2002

Poner a prueba la eficacia de un programa de prevención dirigido a la población de personas seropositivas. El programa emplea la intervención entre iguales para incre¬mentar la adaptación positiva de la enfermedad (APE) como elemento facilitador de la implicación en el sexo seguro. El programa incluye información sobre sexo seguro y de riesgo y sobre las vías de transmisión del VlH, así como psicoterapia de grupo combina¬da con técnicas dirigidas al incremento de la conciencia corporal. La conciencia corpo¬ral puede ayudar a los pacientes a liberar tensiones psicológicas, y estimular el afronta¬miento de aquellos aspectos que tratan de negar. Hipotetizamos que la sustitución de estrategias …

Mechanical, thermal and acoustical characterizations of an insulating bio-based composite made from sunflower stalks particles and chitosan

2014

International audience; This study has for objective the determination of thermal, mechanical and acoustical properties of insulating bio-based composite made with chitosan and sunflower's stalks particles. An experimental design was established to find the size grading of particles, the ratio chitosan/sunflower particles and the stress of compaction influencing the thermal and mechanical properties. Composites with a thermal conductivity $(\kappa)$ of 0.056 W/m/K, a maximum stress $(\sigma_{\text{max}})$ of 2 MPa and an acoustic coefficient of absorption $(\alpha)$ of 0.2 were obtained with a ratio of chitosan of 4.3% (w/w) and a size grading of particles higher to 3 mm. These mechanical a…

Organizational and activational effects of testosterone on risk-taking in economical behavior: A systematic review

2017

Resumen El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática es evaluar la influencia de la testosterona circulante (efectos activacionales) y de la exposición prenatal a ella (efectos organizacionales) sobre la asunción de riesgos en conductas económicas, evaluando los trabajos de investigación existentes hasta la fecha acerca de la temática. La base bibliográfica analizada se obtuvo de distintas bases de datos especializadas en el ámbito de la psicología y las neurociencias. Los resultados obtenidos concluyen en una relación contrastada entre la testosterona circulante y la asunción de riesgo financiero. En lo referente a la exposición prenatal se evidencia un estado inmaduro de la investigación sobr…

25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in healthy premenopausal women: Association with bone turnover markers and bone mineral density

2008

Abstract Background Vitamin D deficiency is very common in elderly people while there are very few reports on its incidence, determinants and metabolic consequences in young subjects. Results In 608 young healthy premenopausal women participating in the BONTURNO study, levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] below 20 ng/ml were found in almost a third of the women. Its levels were inversely ( P 2 ) and directly with sunlight exposure during the summer time, and latitude: i.e. the higher the latitude over Italy, the higher the 25(OH)D level. In women on contraceptive pill the mean 25(OH)D level was significantly increased even when the data were adjusted for age, BMI and sun exposure. 25(OH)…

Fast food consumption and gestational diabetes incidence in the SUN project.

2014

Background: Gestational diabetes prevalence is increasing, mostly because obesity among women of reproductive age is continuously escalating. We aimed to investigate the incidence of gestational diabetes according to the consumption of fast food in a cohort of university graduates. Methods: The prospective dynamic ‘‘Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra’’ (SUN) cohort included data of 3,048 women initially free of diabetes or previous gestational diabetes who reported at least one pregnancy between December 1999 and March 2011. Fast food consumption was assessed through a validated 136-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Fast food was defined as the consumption of hamburgers, …
