Science and gender: researchers in training at the end of Francoism
2017
espanolDurante el siglo XX, al compas del incremento en el acceso a los estudios superiores, las mujeres comenzaron a romper barreras en el campo de la investigacion. El objetivo principal de este estudio es comprobar la forma en que incidio sobre el acceso de la mujer a la ciencia la primera convocatoria del Plan de Formacion de Personal Investigador (1968), inscrito dentro del II Plan de Desarrollo Economico y Social (1968/71), y las sucesivas convocatorias de becas pre y post doctorales, con destino a Espana y al extranjero, que se resolvieron hasta 1975. Mediante un analisis cuantitativo de los datos, en perspectiva de genero, trataremos de determinar las diferentes vias a traves de las…

Heterogeneidad en el impacto de la política de becas en la escolaridad secundaria postobligatoria en España: un análisis por subgrupos poblacionales
2013
El presente trabajo analiza el impacto de las becas sobre la probabilidad de finalizar con éxito el nivel secundario postobligatorio en España en el caso de diferentes subgrupos poblacionales. Se aplica un diseño cuasiexperimental (Propensity score matching) a partir de la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida (ECV-2006). Los resultados confirman la existencia de efectos diferenciales positivos (con relación al impacto medio) de la política educativa en el caso de las mujeres y de los alumnos provenientes de hogares desfavorecidos, demostrando la existencia de heterogeneidad en el impacto de la política analizada.
Incidencia de la beca salario: impacto, perfil y rendimiento de los estudiantes
2013
En España, dentro del marco de la Estrategia 2015, la implantación de las becas de estudio, y especialmente las becas salario adaptadas a la nueva situación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, pretenden garantizar el acceso a los estudios universitarios a aquellos grupos sociales más desfavorecidos económicamente. La presente investigación realiza un estudio ex post facto, de carácter descriptivo-comparativo dirigido a valorar la incidencia de la beca salario, como factor económico, sobre la equidad, el acceso y sobre el rendimiento académico en el primer año de universidad. El estudio se ha realizado con un total de 10.394 estudiantes de nuevo acceso de la cohorte 2010-11 de la Univ…
Can ‘Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology Subspecialty Diploma in Glaucoma,’ a subspecialty examination on glaucoma induce the qualification…
2016
From 2015, the examination of Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology Subspecialty Diploma in Glaucoma (FEBOS-Glaucoma) was launched by the European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO) in cooperation with the European Glaucoma Society (EGS). This opinion aims at disclosing the background of the examination, prerequisite to the examination, and the value of the FEBOS-Glaucoma diploma.
Turning a new “page”: ways to decrease the number of pages after hours without compromising patient care
2020
Pages to house staff after hours, especially overnight, lead to interrupted sleep and fatigue the next day. Although some pages are urgent, others may not need an immediate response. In this study we aimed to identify unwarranted pages and to establish ways to reduce them.Over 2 months, all pages to the Department of Pediatric Urology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada, during call hours were documented, including the assessment of the responding physicians of their medical necessity. After analyzing the reasons for inappropriate pages, we took several steps to try to reduce them without impairing patient care. One year later, pages were tracked again to evaluate the effic…
Thoracic research scholarship 1988: pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension at the University of California…
1990
At the University of California, San Diego pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) has emerged as an effective measure in the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Unresolved emboli become organized by incorporation into the vascular wall and may form strictures, webs, bands and/or membranous occlusions and cause pulmonary hypertension refractory to medical treatment. When pulmonary vascular resistance exceeds 300 dyn.sec.cm-5 and the vascular wall changes are located to begin at or proximal to the lobar artery level, surgery is indicated. The operation is performed using cardiopulmonary bypass, deep hypothermia and periods of circulatory arrest. The dissection of each s…
German Thoracic Research Scholarship 1996: lung volume reduction for endstage pulmonary emphysema at the Washington University of St. Louis.
1998
The Thoracic Research Scholarship 1996 of the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery enabled me to visit Barnes Hospital at the Washington University of St. Louis, USA, from May to July 1996. At that center Prof. J. D. Cooper has established lung-volume reduction surgery as a successful surgical treatment for patients with endstage pulmonary emphysema. The operation is performed using left-sided double-lumen intubation. After opening of the chest and pleura and starting single-lung ventilation the less diseased parts of the second lung collapse due to absorption atelectasis whereas the more diseased portion of the lung stays hyperinflated. Linear staplers buttressed with bov…
European Association of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship Curriculum: First Edition.
2022
International audience; Pediatric cardiac anesthesia is a subspecialty of cardiac and pediatric anesthesiology dedicated to the perioperative care of patients with congenital heart disease. Members of the Congenital and Education Subcommittees of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (EACTAIC) agreed on the necessity to develop an EACTAIC pediatric cardiac anesthesia fellowship curriculum. This manuscript represents a consensus on the composition and the design of the EACTAIC Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship program. This curriculum provides a basis for the training of future pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists by clearly defining the theoretic…
Globalization in Pediatric Surgical Training: The Benefit of an International Fellowship in a Low-to-Middle-Income Country Academic Hospital.
2021
Abstract Objective A relative oversupply of pediatric surgeons led to increasing difficulties in surgical training in high-income countries (HIC), popularizing international fellowships in low-to-middle–income countries (LMIC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of an international fellowship in an LMIC for the training of pediatric surgery trainees from HICs. Methods We retrospectively reviewed and compared the prospectively maintained surgical logbooks of international pediatric surgical trainees who completed a fellowship at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in the last 10 years. We analyzed the number of surgeries, type of involvement, and level of supervision in t…
