Pulmonary actinomycosis. Fine needle aspiration diagnostic.
2011
Atículo publicado en: Invest Clin 52(4): 356 - 360, 2011 Se presentan 4 casos de actinomicosis pulmonar en pacientes mayores de 55 años, 2 de ellos con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), que mostraron un aumento de la tos productiva, episodios de disnea, hemoptisis y fiebre de larga evolución. En las radiografías de tórax de rutina se observaban imágenes segmentarias de consolidación aérea, sugestivas de cuadros neumónicos no resueltos o neoplasia. La tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) mostró hallazgos similares a los anteriores. Los cultivos de esputo y las pruebas de Mantoux fueron repetidamente negativos. Debido a la mala evolución de los pacientes y a los hallazgos radiol…
La objeción de conciencia sanitaria en el ámbito penitenciario
2010
Lo mas coherente con la doctrina constitucional es concebir la objecion de conciencia como una manifestacion del derecho fundamental a la libertad ideologica del art. 16.1 CE (asumiendo, por tanto, la legitimidad de toda conducta objetora), pero entendida como un principio; es decir: cualquier conflicto entre el derecho fundamental del sujeto y el deber juridico que se rehusa debe ser resuelto por el juez realizando un juicio ponderativo de bienes y valores. Este derecho fundamental persiste y puede ser invocado y ejercido por reclusos y personal sanitario en el contexto penitenciario, frente a las previsiones de imposicion coactiva de tratamientos medico previstas por la LOGP y el RP, sin …
Contribución de la educación física a las recomendaciones diarias de actividad física en adolescentes según el género: un estudio con acelerometría
2015
Introducción: la institucionalización de la escuela como contexto propicio para el incremento de la actividad física (AF) saludable, la disparidad de resultados en el contexto internacional y la escasez de estudios españoles con medición objetiva en el marco de la Educación Física (EF) hacen necesaria la profundización en esta línea de investigación. Objetivos: los objetivos fueron determinar niveles objetivos de AF durante las clases de EF en adolescentes, comprobar su contribución a la AF diaria recomendable e identificar posibles diferencias según el género. Métodos: una muestra de 337 escolares (211 varones y 183 mujeres), de 13 a 16 años, participaron en esta investigación. La AF se es…
Relation between health literacy, self-care and adherence to treatment with oral anticoagulants in adults: a narrative systematic review
2018
Background Oral anticoagulants (OAC) are widely used in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, for optimal OAC self-care patients must have skills, among which health literacy (HL) is highlighted. We aimed to describe the relation between HL and self-care in cardiovascular patients on OAC treatment. Methods Electronic searches were carried out in the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, SciELO, IME-Biomedicina, CUIDEN Plus and LILACS databases, limited to Spanish and English language and between January 2000–December 2016. Papers reported on adults older than 18 years, taking OAC by themselves for at least three months. PRISMA guidelines were used for p…
Comparison of combined application treatment with one-visit varnish treatments in an orthodontic population
2013
Objective: To evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine-thymol varnish alone, its combination with chlorhexidine-fluo - ride containing dentifrice and fluoride varnish on oral hygiene and caries prevention in orthodontic patients. Study design: Sixty patients, aged 12-18, with orthodontic fixed appliances were randomly assigned into three groups as follows: Group 1 (n=20): 1% chlorhexidine and 1% thymol varnish (Cervitec ® Plus); Group 2 (n=20): Cervitec ® Plus+ 0.2% chlorhexidine and 0.2% sodium fluoride (900 ppm fluoride) (Cervitec ® Gel)); and Group 3 (n=20): 0.1% fluoride varnish (Fluor Protector ® ). Mutans streptococci (MS), lactobacilli (LB) levels, buffering capacity (BC), visible plaque…
Caries prevalence in children from Valencia (Spain) using ICDAS II criteria, 2010
2014
Objectives: To assess the oral health status of the child population and its evolution over the 2004-2010 period. Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study of the entire schoolchild population of the Valencia region of Spain was conducted using cluster sampling. Seventy schools were selected. The sample size was 1373 pupils, aged 6, 12 and 15 years. The children were examined in November and December 2010, at their schools, by 6 examiners calibrated in the ICDAS II method. The descriptive statistics, comparison of means and comparison of proportions (p0) was 30% in primary dentition at 6 years and 37.7% and 43.6% in permanent dentition at 12 and 15 years respectively. At 6, 12 and 1…
Consumo alcohólico y hábitos de cuidado de la salud en jóvenes de una comunidad urbana periférica
2002
En este trabajo se realiza un análisis estructural del consumo de bebidas alcohólicas en una muestra de 337 jóvenes seleccionada entre las 2129 personas comprendidas entre los 15 y los 29 años empadronadas en el barrio de Casablanca (distrito periférico de la ciudad de Zaragoza). Para obtener los datos de la investigación fue utilizado el cuestio¬nario de comportamientos saludables CS-94 elaborado por Herrero, Musitu y Gracia (I 996). Se describen los hábitos de consumo alcohólico en función del sexo y la edad, y se realizan análisis de varianza con la finalidad de encontrar posibles diferencias signi¬ficativas entre el consumo de alcohol, por un lado, y por otro, las variables estructura¬l…
Histologic and histomorphometric assessment of eggshell-derived bone graft substitutes on bone healing in rats
2013
Objective: The objective of this study was to histologically and histomorphometrically evaluate the efficacy of the new formulations of eggshell-derived calcium carbonate in rats. Study Design: The study was conducted on 30 adult male rats. Four standardized and circular intrabony defects were created in the both maxilla and mandibula of each animal. Three different graft materials were prepared as follows: 1) Material A: Eggshell-derived calcium carbonate combined with carrageenan gel, 2) Material B: Eggshell-derived calcium carbonate combined with xanthan gum gel, and 3) Material C: Eggshell-derived calcium carbonate powder. The right mandibular defect sites were grafted with Material A i…
Empowering Patients Living With Chronic Conditions Using Video as an Educational Tool: Scoping Review
2021
[EN] Background: Video is used daily for various purposes, such as leisure, culture, and even learning. Currently, video is a tool that is available to a large part of the population and is simple to use. This audio-visual format has many advantages such as its low cost, speed of dissemination, and possible interaction between users. For these reasons, it is a tool with high dissemination and educational potential, which could be used in the field of health for learning about and management of chronic diseases by adult patients. Objective: The following review determines whether the use of health educational videos by adult patients with chronic diseases is effective for their self-manageme…
Evaluation of osteoblastic activity in extraction sockets treated with platelet-rich fibrin
2014
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether the use of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) improved the healing of extraction sockets. Study Design: A total of 20 patients with bilateral soft tissue impacted mandibular third molars were included in this study. The left and right third molars were extracted during the same session. Subsequently, the PRF membrane was randomly administered to one of the extraction sockets, whereas the contra lateral sockets were left without treatment. On postoperative 30. and 90. days, panoramic images and bone scintigrams were taken to evaluate the bone healing between PRF-treated and non-PRF-treated sockets. Also, periodontal evaluation was performed i…
