Una política educativa errática. El modelo de las enseñanzas artísticas de música

2017

El marco regulador escogido por nuestro legislador para las enseñanzas artísticas de música responde a un modelo de política educativa muy singular. En el presente artículo exponemos algunas de las bases, que se proyectan sobre la conformación de las enseñanzas y títulos que las refrendan, sobre el profesorado que las imparte y sobre las distintas opciones organizativas escogidas para los establecimientos docentes. Todo ello nos permite identificar los elementos sobre los que se ha construido este armazón educativo, señalando cuáles son las disfunciones que se producen dentro del sistema general.

Investigation of Inspiratory Pressure-Volume Curves on Mechanically Ventilated Patients Using Least Square Polynomial Fit

1988

Abstract An on-line method for the registration of pressure volume 1 oops TrT mechanically ventilated patients was developed using a personal computer with analog/digital interface. A third order polynomial function was fitted to the measured inspiratory pressure volume pairs. The significance of the fitting procedure was calculated using regression ANOVA. The inflection point of the pressure-volume curve was determinated by calculating the root of the second derivative of the polynomial. The method was teseted on 20 patients without major pulmonary dysfunction and on 6 patients with severe ARDS.

Bioprogressive Paradigm in Physiotherapeutic and Antiaging Strategies: A Review

2018

This review updates the knowledge on the use of bioprogressive philosophy in current rehabilitation paradigms, focusing on age-related ailments and antiaging strategies. It is a holistic approach that combines aspects of biology and function into the realm of rehabilitation therapy. The bioprogressive philosophy, with assistance of modern technological developments, such as microgravity-producing devices and techniques, enables personalized and targeted therapeutic approach that seems the most effective in rehabilitation and prevention of neuro-myo-sensory disorders that compromise the homeostatic body harmony, particularly in old age. The review defines the aging, discusses the most common…

Posizionamento di protesi peniena malleabile. Risoluzione di complicanza intraoperatoria.

2009

ABSTRACT. We report a technique for the solution of an intraoperative complication occurred during penile prosthetic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A 70-year-old patient underwent open radical retropubic prostatectomy in 2004 due to a prostate cancer - Gleason 6 (3+3) pT2N0M0. The erectile dysfunction subsequently observed was not responsive to oral or intracavernosal drug administration, so a malleable penile implant surgery was recommended. RESULTS. During the positioning of the left penile cylinder, a septum perforation (cross-over) occurred. Instead of interrupting and postpone surgery in order to allow the septum to recover, we decided to proceed utilizing our technique for a safe pos…

Obsession subtypes : relationships with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, dysfunctional beliefs and thought control strategies

2006

Obsessive themes can be classified into two main categories: autogenous obsessions and reactive obsessions. The first comprise highiy unacceptable and unrealistic thoughts, including aggressive, sexual and repulsive concerns. that can be conceptualised as «pure obsessions» (PO), whereas the second relate to relatively realistic doubts or thoughts with common themes dealing with contamination, mistakes or accidents, associated with overt actions taken to prevent the occu- rrence of negative outcomes, that can be conceptualised as obsessions plus compulsions (O-C). In this study, the ditTerences bctween PO and O-C in 39 Obsessive-Compulsive Disordered (OCD) outpatients are examined. Results: …

The psychological impact of COVID-19 on people suffering from dysfunctional eating behaviours: a linguistic analysis of the contents shared in an onl…

2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread several months ago from China and it is now a global pandemic. The experience of lockdown has been an undesirable condition for people with mental health problems, including eating disorders. The present study has the aim of understanding the impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with selfreported disordered eating behaviours. A linguistic analysis was carried out with regard to the online posts and comments published by 1971 individuals (86% women) in a Facebook online community focusing on EDs during the lockdown. A total of 244 posts and 3603 comments were collected during the 56 days of lockdown (from the 10th of March…

Transcultural adaptation and validation of the spanish version of the sexual satisfaction scale for women (SSS-W-E)

Retrograde in situ versus antegrade pulmonary preservation in clinical lung transplantation: a single-centre experience.

2014

OBJECTIVE Experimental and clinical studies have indicated a beneficial effect of retrograde lung preservation on post-transplant results. Accordingly, we conducted a non-randomized trial. METHODS A total of 209 consecutive recipients transplanted with low-potassium dextrane (LPD)-preserved lungs were eligible for analysis. Antegrade lung preservation (AP) was performed in 173 patients and retrograde in situ perfusion (RP) in 36 patients using low-potassium dextrane solution in all cases. The prostacycline was added to preservation solution. RESULTS The main donor, graft and recipient characteristics did not differ significantly between groups. There was a beneficial trend toward improved o…

Outcome after mitral valve operations with depressed left ventricular function.

2012

We retrospectively investigated 42 patients (27 men, 15 women; mean age, 67 years) with severe mitral valve incompetence and endstage cardiomyopathy (ejection fraction <30%) who were operated on between January 2002 and March 2009. Of these, 14 were in New York Heart Association class IV, and 27 were in class III. The etiology was ischemic in 18 patients and idiopathic dilated in 24. Mitral valve repair was performed in 25 patients, and 17 had mitral valve replacement. The mean logistic EuroSCORE was 33.41. The mean follow-up was 44.52 months. There were no perioperative deaths. Three patients died within 30 days postoperatively. Thirty-day mortality was lower than predicted by EuroSCOR…
