Effect of graphite oxide electrochemically exfoliated over a multimode interference filter.

In this work, we study multimodal interference filters with a graphite oxide coating. Use of the multimodal interference filter shows a distinctive peak in the signal spectrum, and when using the exfoliated graphite coated multimodal interference filter, the signal shows different spectral changes, such as the full width at half maximum of the curve, the maximum power, and central wavelength, which indicates that graphite oxide absorbs part of the energy. In addition, microscope observations when a He-Ne laser is passed through the filter confirm that graphite oxide is adhered to the filter.

[Munchausen syndrome in Spanish pediatrics]. / El síndrome de Munchausen en la pediatría española.

The term Munchausen is used to design patients with "expectable clínical histories full of lies and inventions" in a presumable try to find medical attention. In the Munchausen by proxy syndrome the pediatric patients are victims of their parents psychiatric pathology, who, in spite of the normal aspect that many times have, are really sick and urgently needed of psychiatric treatment. In the spanish psychiatric bibliography we have found 25 cases of Munchausen syndrome that hurt to 20 families. 5 cases were Munchausen, and the remain 20 were Munchausen by Proxy. In this group the majority (13 cases: 65%) were non accidental drug intoxications and in the 20 cases the mother was the fraud author. We concluded remarking that statistics shows a casuistic lower than the real one. A study of the Munchausen by proxy syndrome shows that it is a type of child abuse; so that it is essential to stop the abuse as soon as possible, by a multidisciplinary work.

[Quality of life of children with cystic fibrosis]. / Calidad de vida de los niños afectos de fibrosis quística.

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that conveys a large amount of anxiety. Nevertheless, it is always said that the psychosocial adaptation of the patients and their families is good. In this study, we analyzed the quality of life and the knowledge of the illness possessed by parents of 55 children with cystic fibrosis. The data obtained suggested a good level of knowledge about the disease and an acceptable assessment of their quality of life. The familiar problems reflected in the study concerned regular school attendance and the communication between parents and patients, mainly concerning the illness. This was more obvious with teenagers (12 cases: 21.8%). Finally, it can be stated that the work activity and social relationships of the families had changed notably since the time of diagnosis (70% of the 55 cases reflect this change), with no differences among the age groups. We conclude by stressing the importance of supporting these families, especially at the moment of diagnosis. The associations for cystic fibrosis are of great importance for preventing psychosocial problems amongst their membership.

[Prevalence of mental illness among parents of a sample of pedopsychiatric patients]. / Prevalencia de enfermedad mental entre los padres de una muestra de pacientes paidopsiquiaátricos.

We see in this study the association between parental mental disorder and the possibility of psychopathology in their children, at the same time pediatric patients. The children of 155 parents suffering of 10 mental disorders have been compared to 267 normal parent's children. The first group has significantly a greater frequency of emotional problems, developmental difficulties, behavioral disorders and a worst academic achievement. The association was more important if to the parental psychopathology was joined a pathological socio-familial milieu.

Análisis y diseño de unsistema de informaciónen enfermería (Parte I: aproximación teórica) / No disponible

En los últimos años las organizaciones han pasado deconsiderar la información como un recurso sin valor a considerarlocomo un recurso importante dentro de la organizaciónque es necesario gestionar y distribuir de forma adecuada.Las organizaciones sanitarias no podrían quedarseajenas a estos acontecimientos. Sin embargo, la informaciónen bruto no tendría demasiado valor y se hace necesario tratarlade forma adecuada, es decir, procesada y distribuidasegún las necesidades del usuario al que vaya destinada.Aparecen entonces los Sistemas de Información en las organizacionescomo instrumentos imprescindibles para el funcionamientode las mismas.En este trabajo se expone lametodología de análisis y diseñode un hipotético sistema de información de Enfermería, asícomo los conceptos fundamentales para el conocimiento delestado de la cuestión del mismo (AU)

In the last years the organizations have considered theinformation a resourcewithout value but nowadays the informationis an important resourcewhich is necessary tomanageand distribute on a suitable way. The sanitary organizationscould not be unaware of these events. Nevertheless, the grossinformation would not have enough value and it becomesnecessary to deal with it in a proper way. It means that thegross information has to be processed and distributed takinginto account the necessities of the people to whom it is destined.The Information Systems then appear in the organizationlike essential instruments for them.In this study several factors are exposed: the methodologyof the analysis, the design of a hypothetical informationsystem of Infirmary and also the essential concepts to knowhow this information system works nowadays (AU)

Análisis y diseño de unsistema de informaciónen enfermería (Parte II: aproximación práctica) / No disponible

En este artículo analizamos y diseñamos un hipotéticosistema de información enfermero para la confección de laHistoria clínica informatizada a través de la automatizacióndel proceso de atención de enfermería. El sistema de informaciónha sido analizado y diseñado siguiendo algunas delas directrices de la metodología MÉTRICA versión 3 delMinisterio de Administraciones Públicas. La informatizaciónde la historia clínica será el resultado de un proyectocomún de todos los estamentos de un centro, con lo queimplica de aportación presupuestaria, de personal, de normativasy estándares, de un consenso a nivel de semántica,e igualmente cambios en los modelos organizativos y culturalesde las instituciones. Lameta de este sistema es lamejorade la calidad asistencial del usuario que es el fin prioritariode todo profesional sanitario (AU)

In this article we analyse and design a hypotheticalnurse information system in order to create a computerizedclinical history through the automatization of the InfirmaryProcess of Attention.The information system has been analysed and designedaccording to some directives of the version 3 of Metricsmethodology of the Public Administration Ministry.The computerization of clinical history would be theresult of a common project of all the sectors of a center andit would imply budgetary contribution, a staff contribution,the creation of new norms and standards, a consensus atsemantics level; and also changes in the organizational andcultural models of the institutions.The goal of this system is the improvement of the welfarequality of the user who is the high-priority aim of allsanitary professional (AU)
