Continued Multidisciplinary Project-based Learning – Implementation in Health Informatics
2008
Summary Objectives: Problem- and project-based learning are approved methods to train students, graduates and post-graduates in scientific and other professional skills. The students are trained on realistic scenarios in a broader context. For students specializing in health informatics we introduced continued multidisciplinary project-based learning (CM-PBL) at a department of medical informatics. The training approach addresses both students of medicine and students of computer science. Methods: The students are full members of an ongoing research project and develop a project-related application or module, or explore or evaluate a sub-project. Two teachers guide and review the students’ …
Multidisciplinary program based in physiotherapy and nutrition in coronary artery disease patients: randomized controlled trial
2021
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction. The interventions on eating habits and exercise in physiotherapy programs are usually recommended in coronary artery disease (CAD), since they are beneficial to improve physical and nutritional status of patient. Despite this, scarce studies are focused on combined protocols based on high intensity interval training (HIIT) and dietary education in CAD patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Purpose The main goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary program based in HIIT, with a program based in dietary education and HIIT (DEHIIT), on eating habits in CAD patients w…
Challenges in the pharmacological treatment of geriatric asthma
2016
ABSTRACTAsthma in older populations is characterized by frequent comorbid conditions, which increase the risk of side effects and of detrimental interactions between respiratory and non-respiratory drugs. These observations lead to the need to manage asthma in older populations by applying a multidimensional assessment and a multidisciplinary treatment; therefore, we favor the use of the ‘geriatric’ term to define asthma in the elderly. Geriatric asthma is a complex disease, which may not necessarily imply that it is also complicated, although the two conditions may often coexist. On this basis, the switch from an organ-driven management to the holistic approach may be the key factor to att…
Una experiencia efímera: Enrique de Benito y el Instituto de Estudios Penales de la Universidad de Valencia (1928-1930)
2020
El auge de la Criminología en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y en los primeros treinta años del XX dio lugar a una pequeña pero importante escuela de criminólogos españoles. El éxito del correccionalismo, junto con la extensión de las teorías de la Escuela Positiva italiana, dio lugar a la creación del Laboratorio de Criminología en Madrid, y la Escuela de Criminología para funcionarios o enseñanzas complementarias al Derecho Penal. En Valencia, la creación del Instituto de Estudios Penales, impulsado por el profesor Enrique De Benito fue una de esas experiencias. De corta trayectoria, el Instituto, con un plantel de profesores multidisciplinar y con un programa que abarcaba los conocimient…
The Averinga’s Edicola and the Cult of Water in Palermo. From Knowledge to Valorisation
2018
Si descrive un approccio multidisciplinare allo studio di un singolare monumento storico, l’Edicola dell’Averinga, che versa attualmente in gravi condizioni di degrado; questa costruzione fu realizzata nel 1587 dal Senato Palermitano a protezione delle acque della sorgente Ayn Rutah (nome arabo di Averinga) che sgorgavano proprio al suo interno e che da qui venivano raccolte e incanalate verso i fertili giardini, le abitazioni che si trovavano in prossimità delle mura cittadine e alcune delle più importanti fontane della città storica. La più antica descrizione a noi pervenuta della zona in cui è sita l'Edicola, la cosiddetta depressione Danisinni, appartiene al geografo iracheno Al-Qaim Mu…
Collecting and Using Students’ Digital Well-Being Data in Multidisciplinary Teaching
2018
This article examines how students (N=198; aged 13 to 17) experienced the new methods for sensor-based learning in multidisciplinary teaching in lower and upper secondary education that combine the use of new sensor technology and learning from self-produced well-being data. The aim was to explore how students perceived new methods from the point of view of their learning and did the teaching methods provide new information that could promote their own well-being. We also aimed to find out how to collect digital well-being data from a large number of students and how the collected big data set can be utilized to predict school success from the students’ well-being data by using machine lear…
Vector-borne and zoonotic infections and their relationships with regional and socioeconomic statuses: An ID-IRI survey in 24 countries of Europe, Af…
2021
Background: In this cross-sectional, international study, we aimed to analyze vector-borne and zoonotic infections (VBZI), which are significant global threats. Method: VBZIs’ data between May 20–28, 2018 was collected. The 24 Participatingcountries were classified as lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income. Results: 382 patients were included. 175(45.8%) were hospitalized, most commonly in Croatia, Egypt, and Romania(P = 0.001). There was a significant difference between distributions of VBZIs according to geographical regions(P < 0.001). Amebiasis, Ancylostomiasis, Blastocystosis, Cryptosporidiosis, Giardiasis, Toxoplasmosis were significantly more common in the Middle-East while B…
Un análisis bibliométrico en el área de la Medicina: colaboración científica entre Brasil y España (2002-2011)
2016
[EN]: This study analyzes the development of Spanish-Brazilian collaborative scientific production in the field of medical research between 2002 and 2011, identifying the most productive institutions, the proportion of researchers from each country and bi-lateral collaborative networks. Data were gathered from the Scopus database, which offers broad, international coverage of multidisciplinary research. A study sample of 1,121 original scientific articles signed by 13,906 researchers were retrieved, on the basis of which the annual growth rate of Spanish-Brazilian medical research was calculated. A remarkably high degree of internationalization was found, with 121 countries participating in…
Impact biopsychosocial de la charge des aidants : pourquoi faut-il porter une attention spécifique envers la santé des aidants ?
2018
There are 11 million family caregivers in France and some estimates indicate that there will be 17 million in 2020. Caregiving is a source of chronic stress that requires adaptation and coping strategies. Caregiving may benefit the health of a caregiver with a positive coping style and altruistic goals. However, the caregiver's burden is frequently associated with negative effects in terms of biopsychosocial imbalance and medical conditions, with frequent anxiety and depression. The management of the caregiving burden starts with the recognition of health professionals - caregivers may benefit from consultation-liaison psychiatry and multidisciplinary medico-social strategies, in addition t…
Identification of quality care indicators in prostate cancer.
2017
213 Background: Despite the attempts made to improve prostate cancer management with the development and implementation of clinical practice guidelines, the inefficiencies and differences that usually occur in ordinary clinical care of patients with prostate cancer significantly contribute to increase the variations in the patterns of care and patients outcomes, and costs to the health system. The goal of this project was to establish parameters for improving the care of patients with prostate cancer through the development and validation of quality indicators for the management of this disease. Methods: The ECO Foundation is a platform of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals i…
