RESUMO
INTRODUCION Estos últimos años la Educación Superior ha tenido que incorporar en su curricular el desarrollo de habilidades comunicacionales, siendo actualmente considerada por la Asociación de Colegios Médicos Americanos (AAMC), Asociación Americana de Escuelas de Medicina(AAME) y Escuela de aprendizaje, conductual y de habilidades (EACH) como una competencia básica del profesional del área salud y que en ocasiones determina el éxito o fracaso del proceso asistencial, existiendo evidencia que el proceso comunicativo que se da en los centros de atención médica referida a la interacción médico-paciente determina la precisión del diagnóstico, toma de decisiones y adherencia del tratamiento que permite una excelente práctica médica. Frente a esta necesidad las Universidades han implementado diversas actividades realizadas en países anglosajones que deben ser ajustadas a las necesidades y contexto social chileno.
In recent years, Higher Education has had to incorporate in its curriculum the development of communication skills, being currently considered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), American Association of Medical Schools (AAME) and School of Learning, Behavioral and Skills (EACH) as a basic competence of the health professional and that sometimes determines the success or failure of the care process, there is evidence that the communicative process that occurs in health care centers related to doctor-patient interaction determines the accuracy of diagnosis, decision making and adherence to treatment that allows excellent medical practice. Faced with this need, the Universities have implemented various activities carried out in Anglo Saxon countries that must be adjusted to the needs and social context of Chile

La educación universitaria está experimentando modificaciones en sus prácticas, La educación médica sin embargo y la educación médica y ciencias de la salud está transitando desde el modelo de Flexner a nuevos enfoques que han dado el paso desde un centro en las disciplinas hacia un equilibrio entre ese centro y el reconocimiento de la necesidad de enfoques centrados en el aprendizaje. Las nuevas generaciones son más demandantes y presentan nuevas necesidades educativas que requieren al menos ser reflexionadas para facilitar el aprendizaje. El contexto educativo merece más atención para responder a la sociedad con la entrega de profesionales de la salud debidamente preparados para asumir un liderazgo positivo. Entre las variables que se deberían considerar se encuentran dos conceptos que no se pueden separar, cultura y educación. Estos conceptos serán abordados en este ensayo. Hoy no se comprende el concepto de cultura y tampoco el de educación. Ambos conceptos son comprendidos en su acepción restringida. Al restringir el significado de educación a transmisión de saberes y el de cultura a las bellas artes, se pone en desmedro la importancia de ambos conceptos y se debilita su estrecha vinculación, ello acarrea un descuido de los desafíos que articulan ambos conceptos, educación y cultura y con ello se olvida preparar a las nuevas generaciones de estudiantes de ciencias de la salud que están ingresando con nuevos perfiles de necesidades educativas para resolver los desafíos esenciales de la vida y la sociedad: subsistencia, convivencia, coexistencia, autoridad y sentido

INTRODUCTION A De Garengeot hernia is defined by a femoral hernia containing the appendix. Acute appendicitis within a femoral hernia is an extremely rare surgical presentation and occurs in only 0.08-0.013% of cases cited in the literature and 5 to 15% of all femoral hernias. CASE PRESENTATION A 53-year-old woman presented to the emergency room of our hospital in our ward with acute onset of a right-sided inguinal swelling that occurred earlier that day after performing a heavy lift. Her examination revealed acute appendicitis contained within an incarcerated right femoral hernia. The patient underwent laparoscopic appendectomy with open femoral hernia repair. Intraoperatively, the tip of the appendix was incarcerated within the hernial sac. She was removed through the open inguinal incision after the base of the appendix has been divided laparoscopically. The final pathology showed acute inflamed appendicitis with no evidence of neoplasm. DISCUSSION Physicians should be aware of the rare extent of an unusual presentation of appendicitis such as well as surgical options for treatment. The literature does not conclude on a gold standard for the method of approach. CONCLUSION De Garengeot's hernia remains a rare and unusual surgical presentation of femoral hernia, and the complication of the case by incarceration leading to acute appendicitis provides a challenging surgical approach that should be personalized for each patient

BACKGROUND: Training of health care students at universities is a great challenge for Medical Education Offices. Our office made clear and explained the teaching-learning process from the perspective of teachers, programs, and students. AIM: To report a ten years' analysis of a Medical Education Office (MEO) work, describing the different processes and systematized decisions aimed to improve the quality of the programs and learning results. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 10 years retrospective analysis of the Medical Education Office processes directed to Medicine, Nursing, Physical Therapy, and Nutrition careers of a Faculty of Medicine. Flunks between 2013 and 2017 were compared. RESULTS: A progressive reduction in flunks was observed in the four careers. Specifically, the proportion of flunks in Nutrition decreased from 30 to 9%. When comparing flunks using a Chi-square test of homogeneity in the four careers, a significant decrease in four of six courses was observed. This led to a sustained increase in number of students who completed their career and obtained their title. Specifically, in Medicine there was a 7.5-fold increase in these figures. The Diploma course trained 90% of the teachers in charge of courses of the four careers. The master's degree generated research that allowed to increase the productivity in health sciences education. CONCLUSIONS: The Office of Medical Education created knowledge and management models for the education of health sciences students, enhancing the quality of training and learning processes.

Estradiol triggers key biological responses in the endometrium, which rely on the presence and levels of its cognate receptors on target cells. Employing the receptor micro-autoradiography (RMAR) technique, we aimed to provide a temporal and spatial map of the functional binding sites for estradiol in the mouse endometrial stroma during early pregnancy. Uterine samples from days 1.5 to 7.5 of pregnancy were collected 1 h after tritiated- (3H-) estradiol administration and prepared for RMAR analysis. Autoradiographic incorporation of 3H-thymidine (after 1-h pulse) was evaluated over the same gestational interval. Combined RMAR with either histochemistry with Dolichus biflorus (DBA) lectin or immunohistochemistry for detection of the desmin further characterized 3H-estradiol binding pattern in uterine Natural Killer (uNK) and decidual cells, respectively. 3H-estradiol binding levels oscillated in the pregnant endometrial stroma between the mesometrial and antimesometrial regions as well as the superficial and deep domains. Although most of the endometrial stromal cells retained the hormone, a sub-population of them, as well as endothelial and uNK cells, were unable to do so. Rises in the levels of 3H-estradiol binding preceded endometrial stromal cell proliferation. 3H-estradiol binding and 3H-thymidine incorporation progressively decreased along the development of the antimesometrial decidua. Endothelial proliferation occurred regardless of 3H-estradiol binding, whereas pericytes proliferation was associated with high levels of hormone binding. Endometrial cell populations autonomously control their levels of 3H-estradiol binding and retention, a process associated with their proliferative competence. Collectively, our results illustrate the intricate regulatory dynamic of nuclear estrogen receptors in the pregnant mouse endometrium.

Experimental and epidemiologic data have shown that malnutrition predisposes individuals to infections. Immune responses are compromised, particularly in undernourished children. Therefore, we investigated the migratory capacity of leukocytes, using the intravital microscopy technique, in male Wistar rats (8-9 wk of age) that were undernourished in utero after their dams were fed 50% less food than the amount consumed by control dams. The number of leukocytes rolling along the venular endothelium, sticking after stimulation with leukotriene B4, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) or zymosan-activated plasma, or migrating after TNF-alpha stimulation was significantly reduced in the undernourished rat offspring. Compared with nourished rat offspring, undernourished offspring had significantly reduced numbers of circulating leukocytes, higher blood pressure, and higher leukocyte rolling velocity (V(WBC)), as well as a higher ratio between V(WBC) and RBC velocity (V(RBC)). Endothelial P-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression, analyzed by immunohistochemistry, and basal leukocyte L-selectin expression, analyzed by flow cytometry, were significantly reduced in the undernourished rat offspring. Because the groups did not differ in leukocyte CD11/18 expression, endothelial expression of platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, or venular blood flow velocity and, consequently, venular shear rate, we conclude that intrauterine undernutrition in rats reduces leukocyte migration, downregulates endothelial expression of P-selectin and ICAM-1, as well as leukocyte expression of L-selectin, while reducing leukocyte counts. The higher V(WBC) and V(WBC)/V(RBC) ratio may also play a role in this reduced leukocyte migration. Our data suggest that this phenomenon is involved in the increased predisposition to infections in undernourished subjects.

The presence and changes of estradiol nuclear binding and related functions in uterine luminal and glandular epithelium were studied before and after blastocyst implantation using receptor autoradiography with (3)H-estradiol-17beta in association with (3)H-thymidine incorporation and immunocytochemical binding of antibody to estrogen receptor ER-alpha. (3)H-estradiol nuclear binding is present but variable during days 1.5-7.5 of pregnancy. Sites of strong nuclear binding of (3)H-estradiol exhibit strong immunocytochemical staining with ER-alpha antibody. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of autoradiograms reveal that there is a general increase of nuclear (3)H-estradiol binding during the first 3 days after fertilization in both luminal and glandular epithelium. The binding of estradiol is stronger in glandular epithelium from day 2.5 to day 7.5, paralleled by a rise in (3)H-thymidine incorporation on day 2.5. By comparison, in the epithelium of the uterine lumen (3)H-estradiol nuclear binding is low, but relatively high in epithelial cells at lateral branching of the lumen where the increase in (3)H-estradiol binding corresponds to an increased labeling index with (3)H-thymidine. A highly differentiated binding of (3)H-estradiol to luminal and glandular epithelium was demonstrated with region- and time-specific changes of related effects on cell proliferation, differentiation, and secretion, probably involving involution and remodeling. The strong (3)H-estradiol binding to glandular epithelium suggests that estradiol exerts pronounced effects on glandular activities in the periimplantation period.
