Quality of Life of the Guaraní Community

2017

Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Ferdinand Tonnies distinguished two forms of clustering of base: community and society, defining the community as that form of socialization in which subjects, according to their common origin, local proximity or shared values, had attained a degree of implicit consensus. Currently, it can be understood as locality and as a group relationship, emphasizing the first a physical/geographical proximity and the second, interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, considering quality of life, Tonon (2007) points out that its study concerns the material and psychosocial environment, recognizing two areas of well-being: the social and the psychological, the la…

Consumer wearable technologies to identify and monitor exercise-related arrhythmias in athletes

2020

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this study was to synthesize the current evidence supporting and against the use of wearable devices to detect underlying heart conditions in athletes and the most significant limitations. RECENT FINDINGS: Although several large studies have been conducted to evaluate the ability of wearables devices to identify atrial fibrillation among the general population, no studies evaluating their ability to detect other exercise-related arrhythmias in athletes are very sparse. Most of the studies or case reports are focused on the wearables' reliability and accuracy compared with standard ECG. Only small studies evaluating the accuracy of one wearable device in athlete…

Experiences of perinatal women and public healthcare providers in a community affected by the great east Japan earthquake and tsunami: Concerns that …

2020

Abstract Particular support needs of perinatal women in a disaster have been difficult to grasp through preexisting quantitative epidemiological studies. This study aimed to extract concerns that must be considered for perinatal women's mental healthcare in postdisaster settings based on lessons from the Great East Japan Earthquake. Narrative messages regarding protective and risk factors for mothers' mental health from a representative population of mothers who had given birth and all official maternal caregivers, in a coastal town devastated by the catastrophe were subjected to qualitative analyses. Eight concerns were extracted as specific support needs: (1) improve information pathways,…

The Epigenetics of the Endocannabinoid System

2020

The endocannabinoid system (ES) is a cell-signalling system widely distributed in biological tissues that includes endogenous ligands, receptors, and biosynthetic and hydrolysing machineries. The impairment of the ES has been associated to several pathological conditions like behavioural, neurological, or metabolic disorders and infertility, suggesting that the modulation of this system may be critical for the maintenance of health status and disease treatment. Lifestyle and environmental factors can exert long-term effects on gene expression without any change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA, affecting health maintenance and influencing both disease load and resistance. This potentially …

Self-esteem, quality of life, and physical activity in women with diagnosed endometriosis: a pilot study in an Italian sample

2021

Purpose. Endometriosis is a painful pathology impairing women's daily life. Several studies have shown that patients report low mental and physical quality of life, but no general evaluation of their self-esteem has been found. Studies concerning physical activity frequency present inconsistent results. Therefore, the current paper aims to compare life quality and selfesteem in women with endometriosis with the Italian normative data of the measures used. Methods. Overall, 36 women with diagnosed endometriosis treated in hospital completed a questionnaire detecting physical activity frequency, self-esteem, quality of life, and socioeconomic information. One sample t-test served to compare t…

Androcentrismo en la asistencia: un estudio exploratorio sobre los sesgos en la atención a pacientes con fibromialgia

2011

El artículo trata de desvelar los condicionantes de género en la asistencia médica. Para ello se ha realizado un estudio sobre la fibromialgia, una dolencia muy desconocida, que mayoritariamente afecta a las mujeres, por lo que podría constituir un caso paradigmático de la construcción de género y de los sesgos androcéntricos en la ciencia médica. Los resultados muestran que en los patrones de socialización diferenciales, en los modelos de masculinidad y feminidad y en el reparto de roles sexuales se puede encontrar la respuesta a algunas de las diferencias y desigualdades que surgen en atención médica. The article attempts to reveal gender-based determining factors in medical care. For thi…

Medicine of the future: How and who is going to treat us?

2023

Medicine’s ability to quickly respond to challenges raises questions from researchers, practitioners, and society as a whole. Our task in this study was to identify key and atypical current factors influencing the development of medicine and to predict the development of medicine in the short, medium, and long term. To implement our study, we selected 22 medical experts and applied the three-level Delphi method. The current trends caused by COVID-19 have a short-term impact, but they will launch other drivers that will transform the healthcare industry. Well-being technologies, data-informed personalization, and climate change will become key drivers for the development of medicine over the…

Le repérage des patients en situation de précarité par les médecins généralistes

2019

Cette étude se propose d’étudier la concordance entre un repérage de la précarité effectué spontanément par les médecins généralistes et un repérage effectué par le score EPICES (évaluation de la précarité et des inégalités de santé dans les centres d’examens de santé), développé et validé dans les centres d’examens de santé.Les 32 médecins généralistes ont permis d’inclure 207 patients dans l’étude. Le coefficient de concordance Kappa de Cohen était de 0,404, soit une corrélation faible à modérée.L’étude des variables associées à la concordance de ce repérage n’a permis de dégager aucune variable significativement associée à la concordance après une analyse multivariée.Pour conclure, le re…
