Modelo predictivo preliminar para la identificación de pacientes con oportunidades de mejora farmacoterapéutica

2010

Objective: To develop a prediction model for identifying patients with the possibility of improving pharmacotherapy during the process of pharmaceutical validation of the prescription. Method: Cross-sectional study over two months, performed in the Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease divisions. Detecting opportunities for improving quality of pharmaco¬therapy is done by means of a pharmacist's validation of the prescription. Based on the information we obtained through this process, we performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis using as prognostic factors the demographic, pharmacotherapy and clinical variables related to identifying any drug-related problems (DRPs) in the pa…

The Teacher's Perspective in Older Education: The Experience of Teaching in a University for Older People in Spain

2010

The aim of this study was to explore university lecturers' descriptions of their teaching experience with older students. Twelve teachers of the Nau Gran (a university program for older people [UPOP] in Valencia, Spain) were interviewed. We analyzed their responses to questions about their experience of teaching older adults, the rewarding aspects of that experience and the teaching strategies they used. Teachers described their experience as extremely positive and rewarding, and often contrasted the active, interested, and grateful older students with the relatively passive regular younger students. The teachers also mentioned how they adapted their teaching to suit a more motivated and pa…

Lipoprotein profile and high-density lipoproteins: subfractions distribution in centenarians.

1998

In order to assess the role of HDL on longevity, we studied HDL subfraction distribution in centenarian women compared with a group of weight- and gender-matched healthy normolipidemic controls. We did not find any significant difference in the mean plasma lipid, apolipoprotein, and Lp(a) levels. On the contrary, in spite of similar HDL-cholesterol concentrations (1.32 ± 0.41 mmol/l in centenarians vs. 1.32 ± 0.25 mmol/l in controls, p = not significant), HDL<sub>2b</sub> and HDL<sub>3a</sub> levels were, respectively, significantly increased and significantly reduced in centenarians in comparison with controls (HDL<sub>2b</sub> 32.4 ± 9.2% in centenarian…

Intervención coactiva en el mercado: procesos, modalidades y efectos

2021

Developing Böhm-Bawerk’s (1914) Macht oder ökonomisches Ge-setz, we characterize the different intervention modalities as coercive «fixing» of prices, goods (quantities or modes of performing) or persons, also with their effects. Given that the subjective but real forces underlying market processes respond with effects which are opposite to those pursued, the «intervener» or controller would be induced to an in crescendo «fixing» of more and more as-pects of reality. We also show fractional reserve (banking) as another kind of intervention, since it produces or induces the same effects, including a call to implement monopolistic schemes.
 Key words: Market Process, Böhm-Bawerk, Interve…

PIH47 Measuring the Burden of Disease and Injury in Spain Using Disability-Adjusted Life Years: A Population-Based Study

Adult age differences in inhibitory processes and their predictive validity for fluid intelligence.

2008

According to the inhibition-deficit hypothesis age differences in working memory capacity and fluid intelligence have been attributed to a decline in inhibitory efficiency. Conceptualizing inhibition as multifaceted, 88 participants (49 younger and 39 elderly) completed two versions of the negative priming paradigm (identification and localization), and two variants of the directed forgetting paradigm (listwise and itemwise). Two tasks of the Wechsler Intelligence Test with high loadings on general fluid intelligence (Gf) served as validation criteria. Results revealed task-specific and speed-independent inhibitory deficits in the elderly (lower negative priming in both paradigms; more intr…

Prevalence and characteristics of prisoners requiring end-of-life care: A prospective national survey

2017

Background: Ensuring adequate end-of-life care for prisoners is a critical issue. In France, data investigating the impact of laws allowing release of seriously ill prisoners are lacking. Aim: To assess the number and characteristics of prisoners requiring palliative care in French prisons. Design: A prospective, national survey collecting data over a 3-month period. Setting/participants: All healthcare units ( n = 190) providing care for prisoners in France. The prison population was 66,698 during the study period. Data collection concerned prisoners requiring end-of-life care, that is, with serious, advanced, progressive, or terminal illness and life expectancy <1 year. Results: Estima…

Stroke is increasingly recognized as an important cause of cognitive problems and has been implicated in the development of both Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Th…

Efectividad de las medidas y estrategias de prevención de úlceras por presión en neonatos

2020

espanolRESUMEN Objetivos: Analizar la efectividad, en terminos de disminucion de la incidencia de ulceras por presion (UPP), de las medidas y estrategias preventivas de UPP en neonatos hospitalizados. Metodo: La recuperacion de estudios se realizo a traves de tres bases de datos (Medline a traves de PubMed, Scopus y Science Direct) y a partir de un experto. Solamente se incluyeron en esta revision los estudios publicados del 2007 al 2017 en espanol o ingles, que de forma directa o indirecta valoraran la efectividad de una medida o estrategia preventiva de UPP en neonatos hospitalizados y que en cuanto al diseno fueran o estudios clinicos controlados o cuasiexperimentales.
