'Nobody taught her how to be a mother': The lived experience of mothering without a mother.

Maternal grandmothers play a vital role in the transition to motherhood for their own daughters. The current study adds to this literature by investigating the lived experience of motherhood for women who lacked a meaningful relationship with their mothers. Ten mothers of children under 2 years of age participated in a semi-structured interview to explore their lived experiences of being a mother. Women were recruited from two parent-infant services in Northern Ireland. The interviews were analyzed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three superordinate themes were identified: 'The Birth of a Mother', 'Mourning and Loss' and 'Ghosts in the Nursery'. The first theme captured the significant change of identity women experienced during their transition to motherhood. This identity change shed new light on their own experience of being mothered. The second theme captured the mourning and loss these women felt due to their relationship with their mother. Their lack of meaningful maternal relationships have left a hole impossible to fill. The final theme spoke to the intergenerational element of these mother's experience and their desire to break a cycle of maternal deprivation. The rich content from the interviews highlights the need for services to be aware of this struggle of motherhood.

Las abuelas maternas juegan un papel vital en la transición a la maternidad para sus propias hijas. El presente estudio contribuye a este campo de conocimientos escritos por medio de investigar la experiencia de maternidad vividas por mujeres a quienes les hace falta una significativa relación con sus madres. Diez madres de niños menores de dos años de edad participaron en una entrevista semiestructurada para explorar sus vividas experiencias de ser madre. A las mujeres se les reclutó de dos servicios progenitor-infante en Irlanda del Norte. Se analizaron las entrevistas usando el Análisis Fenomenológico Interpretativo (IPA). Se identificaron tres temas de nivel superior: 'El Nacimiento de una Madre,' 'Lamento y Pérdida' y 'Fantasmas en el Cuarto de la Niña.' El primer tema captó el significativo cambio de identidad que las mujeres experimentan durante su transición a la maternidad. El cambio de identidad arrojó una nueva luz en sus propias experiencias de ser criadas por una madre. El segundo tema captó la lamentación y la pérdida que estas mujeres sentían debido a su relación con sus madres. La falta de significativas relaciones maternas ha dejado un vacío imposible de llenar. El tema final tuvo que ver que el elemento intergeneracional de la experiencia de estas madres y su deseo de romper un ciclo de privación materna. El rico contenido de las entrevistas enfatiza la necesidad de servicios para estar conscientes de esta lucha sobre la maternidad.

Les grands-mères maternelles jouent un rôle vital dans la transition à la maternité de leurs propres filles. Cette étude s'ajoute aux recherches précédentes en enquêtant sur l'expérience vécue de la maternité pour les femmes n'ayant pas eu une relation importante avec leurs mères. Dix mères d'enfant de moins de deux ans ont participé à un entretien semi structuré afin d'explorer leurs expériences vécues du fait d'être maman. Ces femmes ont été recrutées dans deux services parent-bébé en Irlande du Nord. Ces entretiens ont été analysés en utilisant l'Analyse Interprétive Phénoménologique (en anglais Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, soit IPA). Trois thèmes supérieurs ont été identifiés: 'La Naissance d'une Mère', "Deuil et Perte' et 'Fantômes dans la Chambre d'enfant'. Le premier thème a capture le changement d'identité important que les femmes ont vécu durant leurs transitions à la maternité. Ce changement d'identité a apporté un éclairage nouveau sur leur propre expérience d'avoir été maternées. Le second thème a capturé le deuil et la perte que ces femmes ont ressentis du fait de leur lien à leur mère. Leur manque de relations maternelles importantes a laissé un trou impossible à remplir. Le dernier thème fait référence à l'élément intergénérationnel de l'expérience de ces mères et leur désir de casser un cycle de privation maternelle. Ce contenu riche émanant des entretiens met en lumière la prise de connaissance nécessaire de ces difficultés de la maternité dont doivent faire preuve les services.

Adverse caregiving in early life: The trauma and deprivation distinction in young children.

Knowledge and understanding about the impact of cumulative adverse experiences on the health and wellbeing of children, adolescents, and adults has rapidly expanded over the past 30 years. Despite the invaluable attention and support this proliferation has drawn to the importance of early childhood experiences, we believe that it is time to move beyond broad indices of risk and toward more specific and individualized understanding of how risk exposures are linked to clinical outcomes in young children. Within infant and early childhood mental health, there is a need for greater specificity in linking adverse caregiving experiences in early life to psychopathology in children. We highlight a framework distinguishing experiences of trauma from experiences of deprivation and use the examples of posttraumatic stress disorder and reactive attachment disorder to demonstrate how greater specificity in our understanding of early adverse caregiving can lead to more accurate and targeted diagnosis and treatment for young children. Both researchers and clinicians benefit from an approach to gain a greater appreciation of the links between specific types of experiences and outcomes in the children that we serve.

El conocimiento y la comprensión acerca del impacto de experiencias adversas acumuladas sobre la salud y bienestar de los niños, adolescentes y adultos se ha expandido rápidamente durante los pasados 30 años. A pesar de la inestimable atención y apoyo que esta proliferación ha derivado con respecto a la importancia de las experiencias de la temprana niñez, creemos que es tiempo de pasar más allá de los amplios índices de riesgo hacia una comprensión más específica e individualizada de cómo el hecho de estar expuesto a riesgo se conecta con los resultados clínicos en niños pequeños. Dentro el camp de la salud mental infantil, hay una necesidad por mayor especificidad para conectar las adversas experiencias de prestación de cuidado en la temprana parte de la vida con la sicopatología en los niños. Enfatizamos un marco de trabajo que distingue las experiencias de trauma de las experiencias de privaciones y uso de ejemplos del trastorno de estrés postraumático y el trastorno reactivo de la vinculación para demostrar hasta qué punto la especificidad en nuestra comprensión del temprano cuidado adverso puede llevar a un diagnóstico y tratamiento más acertado y dirigido para los niños pequeños. Tanto los investigadores como el personal clínico se benefician de un acercamiento para obtener una mayor apreciación de os lazos entre tipos específicos y resultados en los niños a quienes les servimos.

Les connaissances et la compréhension sur l'impact d'une accumulation d'expériences adverses sur la santé et le bien-être des enfants, des adolescents et des adultes se sont rapidement étendues au fil des 30 dernières années. En dépit de l'attention précieuse et du soutien de cette prolifération qui ont montré l'importance des expériences de la petite enfance, nous pensons qu'il est temps de passer au-delà des indices généraux de risque pour désormais privilégier une compréhension plus spécifique et individualisée de la manière dont les expositions au risqué sont liées aux résultats cliniques chez les jeunes enfants. Au sein de la santé mentale du nourrisson, il est nécessaire d'avoir une plus grande spécificité dans le lien entre les expériences adverses de modes de soin au début de la vie à la psychopathologie chez les enfants. Nous mettons en lumière une structure qui distingue les expériences de trauma d'expériences de privation et utilisons les exemples du trouble de stress posttraumatique et du trouble de l'attachement réactif afin de démontrer la manière dont une plus grande spécificité dans notre compréhension peut mener à un diagnostic et à un traitement plus précis et plus ciblés pour les jeunes enfants. A la fois les chercheurs et les cliniciens bénéficient d'une approche qui nous fait gagner une plus grande appréciation des liens entre les types spécifiques d'expériences et les résultats chez les enfants que nous servons.

Impact of harmful use of alcohol on the sedation of critical patients on mechanical ventilation: A multicentre prospective, observational study in 8 Spanish intensive care units.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of a history of harmful use of alcohol (HUA) on sedoanalgesia practices and outcomes in patients on mechanical ventilation (MV). METHODS: A prospective, observational multicentre study was made of all adults consecutively admitted during 30 days to 8 Spanish ICUs. Patients on MV >24h were followed-up on until discharge from the ICU or death. Data on HUA, smoking, the use of illegal (IP) and medically prescribed psychotropics (MPP), sedoanalgesia practices and their related complications (sedative failure [SF] and sedative withdrawal [SW]), as well as outcome, were prospectively recorded. RESULTS: A total of 23.4% (119/509) of the admitted patients received MV >24h; 68.9% were males; age 57.0 (17.9) years; APACHE II score 18.8 (7.2); with a medical cause of admission in 53.9%. Half of them consumed at least one psychotropic agent (smoking 27.7%, HUA 25.2%; MPP 9.2%; and IP 7.6%). HUA patients more frequently required PS (86.7% vs. 64%; p<0.02) and the use of >2 sedatives (56.7% vs. 28.1%; p<0.02). HUA was associated to an eightfold (p<0.001) and fourfold (p<0.02) increase in SF and SW, respectively. In turn, the duration of MV and the stay in the ICU was increased by 151h (p<0.02) and 4.4 days (p<0.02), respectively, when compared with the non-HUA group. No differences were found in terms of mortality. CONCLUSIONS: HUA may be associated to a higher risk of SF and WS, and can prolong MV and the duration of stay in the ICU in critical patients. Early identification could allow the implementation of specific sedation strategies aimed at preventing these complications.

Effects of androgen deprivation therapy on elderly men with high-risk prostate cancer: PROSARC observational study.

INTRODUCTION: Prostatic carcinoma (PC) is a frequent neoplasm in elderly patients. Although androgen deprivation is associated with survival benefits, it is also related to adverse effects such as osteoporosis, frailty, or sarcopenia, which can negatively affect the patient's quality of life. This study aims to quantify and evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis, frailty, or sarcopenia in elderly PC patients before and after androgen deprivation. We present data from an interim analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PROSARC is a national (Spain) prospective observational study (May-2022-May-2025) still in progress in 2 hospitals. It includes patients with high-risk PC, aged ≥70 years, non-candidates for local treatment and scheduled to start androgen deprivation therapy. The following variables are analyzed: comorbidity, frailty (Fried frailty phenotype criteria), osteoporosis, sarcopenia (EWGSOP2), fat mass and muscle mass, before treatment and after 6 months of follow-up. RESULTS: A 6-month follow-up was completed by 12/25 included patients (mean age, 84 years), with a high baseline prevalence of pre-frailty/frailty (67.7%), sarcopenia (66.7%) and osteoporosis (25%). Treatment did not significantly alter these variables or comorbidity. We observed changes in body mass index (p=0.666), decreased mean value of appendicular muscle mass (p=0.01) and increased percentage of fat mass (p=0.012). CONCLUSION: In patients with high-risk PC, advanced age and a considerable prevalence of osteoporosis, frailty and sarcopenia, androgen deprivation (ADT; 6 months) produces decreased muscle mass without impact on the incidence of the known adverse effects of androgen deprivation.

Food intake behaviors change as a function of maternal diet and time-restricted feeding.

Introduction: Introduction: changes in dietary/energetic composition during the critical period of development (pregnancy/lactation) or even during meal times may contribute to changes in metabolic and behavioral parameters such as feeding behavior. Objective: the study aimed to examine the repercussions of time-restricted feeding on feeding behavior and on some parameters of glycemic and lipemic metabolism of the offspring of adult rats whose mothers were fed a westernized diet during pregnancy and lactation. Methods: initially, 43 male Wistar rats were used. At 60 days of life, the rats were divided into 4 groups: C: control group; RC: control group with time-restricted feeding; W: westernized diet during pregnancy/lactation group; RW: westernized diet group during pregnancy/lactation group with time-restricted feeding. The following parameters were evaluated: behavioral sequence of satiety (BSS), biochemical parameters, and abdominal fat. Results: findings highlighted a high level of abdominal fat in the groups whose mothers were submitted to a westernized diet, as well as hypertriglyceridemia, and clear differences in feed rate and meal length. This study showed that the westernized diet ingested by mothers during pregnancy and lactation induced hyperlipidemia and changes in the feeding behavior of their adult offspring. Conclusions: these changes may be responsible for eating disorders and risk factors for metabolism disturbance-related diseases.

Introducción: Introducción: los cambios en la composición dietética/energética durante el período crítico de desarrollo (embarazo/lactancia) o incluso durante las comidas pueden contribuir a cambios en los parámetros metabólicos y conductuales como el comportamiento alimentario. Objetivo: el estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar las repercusiones de la alimentación restringida en el tiempo sobre el comportamiento alimentario y sobre algunos parámetros del metabolismo glucémico y lipémico de crías de ratas adultas cuyas madres fueron alimentadas con una dieta occidentalizada durante el embarazo y la lactancia. Métodos: inicialmente se utilizaron 43 ratas Wistar macho. A los 60 días de vida, las ratas se agruparon en 4 grupos: C: grupo de control; RC: grupo de control con alimentación restringida en el tiempo; W: grupo de dieta occidentalizada durante el embarazo/lactancia; RW: grupo de dieta occidentalizada durante el embarazo y la lactancia con alimentación restringida en el tiempo. Se evaluaron los siguientes parámetros: secuencia conductual de saciedad (BSS), parámetros bioquímicos y grasa abdominal. Resultados: destacó una grasa abdominal elevada en los grupos cuyas madres fueron sometidas a una dieta occidentalizada, así como hipertrigliceridemia y una diferencia evidente en la tasa de alimentación y la duración de la comida. Este estudio demostró que la dieta occidentalizada ingerida por las madres durante el embarazo y la lactancia induce hiperlipidemia y cambios en el comportamiento alimentario de las crías adultas. Conclusiones: estos cambios pueden ser responsables de trastornos alimentarios y factores de riesgo de enfermedades relacionadas con alteraciones del metabolismo.

Nursing care in perinatal grief. A systematic and critical review of attitudes and knowledge in clinical practice.

AIM: To review and synthesize the available evidence on the attitudes and knowledge of nurses regarding the perinatal grief of the parents. METHODS: A systematic review of original articles published from January 2016 to February 2023 without language limit in the Scopus, PubMed, Cinahl, PsycINFO, ScienceDirect and Web Of Science databases was carried out. The Prisma Statement methodological framework was used for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The entire process was carried out in pairs, with discrepancies being resolved by a third reviewer. The quality of the articles was evaluated following the CASPe criteria (Critical Appraisal Skills Program Spanish). RESULTS: Twelve articles were obtained in this review after applying the inclusion criteria, of which. Except for one cross-sectional quantitative study (8.33%), the rest were qualitative studies carried out through interviews (75%) or discussion groups (16.66%). It is highlighted that there are different biopsychosocial problems related to the care needs demanded by the family and that, due to poor training or culture of the health professional, are not adequately addressed. DISCUSSION: The studies found show various resources to adequately attend to perinatal grief, there being discrepancies in relation to allowing or not allowing the body of the deceased baby to be shown and/or taken; There are also disagreements regarding whether the healthcare team should base its practice on protocols or theories such as the Kubler-Ross theory of grief. Most of the studies (75%) consider that more training and awareness is necessary, contemplating the biopsychosocial nature of the user.

Androgen deprivation therapy in localized prostate cancer. Current status and future trends.

INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer (PCa) has been recognized as an androgen-sensitive disease since the investigations from Huggins and Hodges in 1941. Thanks to these findings, they received the Nobel Prize in 1966. This was the beginning of the development of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as treatment for patients with PCa. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the current indications of ADT in localized PCa. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: We conducted a comprehensive English and Spanish language literature research, focused on the main indications for ADT in localized PCa. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Nowadays, the indications for ADT as monotherapy in localized PCa have been limited to specific situations, to patients unwilling or unable to receive any form of local treatment if they have a PSA-DT < 12 months, and either a PSA > 50 ng/mL, a poorly differentiated tumor, or troublesome local disease-related symptoms. ADT can be used in combination with local treatment in different scenarios. Although neoadjuvant treatment with ADT prior to surgery with curative intent has no clear oncological impact, as a future sight, PCa is a heterogeneous disease, and there could be a group of patients with high-risk localized disease that could benefit. CONCLUSIONS: We need to optimize the treatment with ADT in localized PCa, selecting the patients accordingly to their disease characteristics. Given that the therapeutic armamentarium evolves day by day, there is a need for the development of new clinical trials, as well as a molecular studies of patients to identify those who might benefit from an early multimodal treatment.

Effects of androgen deprivation therapy on metabolic markers and bioelectrical impedance analyze in prostate cancer patients.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most widespread malignancy within men. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which is the central component of advanced PCa treatment, causes side effects. The goal of this study was to examine the metabolic changes and bioelectrical impedance analysis differences in PCa patients who received ADT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After age-related match-pair analysis, a total of 519 patients with PCa and control group who had benign disease were enrolled in the study. Biochemical blood parameters and TANITA measurements were recorded for all patients. Patients were categorized into three groups, ADT group (Group 1, n=124) and non-ADT group (Group 2, n=248), control group (Group 3, n=147). RESULTS: The mean age of groups was similar. Body mass index, waist circumference, body fat mass and fat ratio, which were among the TANITA parameters, were higher in group 1 (p<0.05). Total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, non- high density lipoprotein, triglycerids and fasting blood glucose values were also higher in group 1 (p<0.05). Myocardial infarction and metabolic syndrome rates were also higher in this group. CONCLUSIONS: While the use of ADT is manifested by an increase in fat mass and fat ratio in body composition, it negatively affects waist circumference measurements. It is associated with metabolically unfit body composition changes that predispose to diabetes mellitus and may increase cardio-vascular disease. For this reason, it is necessary to be careful about metabolic and endocrinological diseases in long-term therapy.

Posterior bilateral lens luxation in an agitated patient: Cause or consequence? / Luxación posterior bilateral del cristalino en una paciente agitada, ¿causa o consecuencia?

Complete posterior lens dislocation is an infrequent clinical entity. Trauma is the first cause of secondary lens dislocation. Most of the cases are unilateral, and bilateral cases are unusual. We report the uncommon case of a 70-year-old woman with evidence of a posterior bilateral dislocation of the lens in the context of an acute onset of confusional syndrome. We discuss about sensory deprivation as a trigger for acute confusion and agitation in patients with predisposing conditions. In addition, we describe the benefits that, in our experience, the refloating technique with perfluorocarbon liquid provides for the surgical approach to these cases.

Risk of child poverty and social exclusion in two Spanish regions: social and family determinants.

OBJECTIVE: Describe the risk of poverty and social exclusion in children aged 8-11 years from Gipuzkoa and Valencia (Spain), through AROPE (At Risk Of Poverty or Social Exclusion) indicators, and evaluate their associated factors in the INMA Project (Childhood and Environment). METHOD: Families in Gipuzkoa and Valencia (394 and 382, respectively) completed a questionnaire in 2015-2016. Low work intensity (LWI), at risk of poverty (RP) and material deprivation (MD) were estimated. AROPE consisted in meeting any of the previous sub-indicators. Socio-demographic, family and parental characteristics were considered. Frequencies, Venn's diagrams, and chi-square and Fisher tests were used in bivariate analysis and logistic regression in multivariate analysis. RESULTS: For LWI, RP, MD and AROPE, prevalence of 2.5%, 5.6%, 2.3% and 7.2% were obtained in Gipuzkoa, and 8.1%, 31.5%, 7.8% and 34.7% in Valencia, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the AROPE was associated in both areas with maternal social class and non-nuclear families. In Gipuzkoa, it was also related to maternal education. In Valencia, other factors were the mother's foreign origin, and paternal education and smoking. CONCLUSION: There is higher AROPE prevalence in Valencia. Social class and family type were shared factors, but a differential pattern is observed in other social determinants. It is essential to implement social policies to reduce this axis of inequalities in health, especially in childhood.

[Deprivation index by enumeration district in Spain, 2011]. / Índice de privación en España por sección censal en 2011.

OBJECTIVE: To present the methodology used in the design and implementation of a deprivation index by enumeration district, and to describe the socioeconomic situation of Spain in 2011. METHOD: The unit of analysis was the enumeration district (N=35,960). Data came from the 2011 Population and Housing Census of Spain. Given both the sampling nature of the Census and the regulatory limitations of data confidentiality, variables were calculated indirectly by using the complement of the available variables. Checks were made to ensure reliability. The selection of the indicators took into account comparability with the MEDEA index. The inclusion of additional information was explored. A deprivation index was built using Principal Component Analysis. Sensitivity analysis of the index was performed for urban areas and the rest of the regions. RESULTS: Using the census information, 22 indicators were calculated for 35,917 enumeration districts. The deprivation index was based on six indicators: manual and temporary workers, unemployment, insufficient education overall and in young people (aged 16 to 29 years), and dwellings without access to the internet. The map of Spain shows a gradient of decreasing deprivation from south-west to north-east. CONCLUSIONS: The socioeconomic information of the 2011 census by enumeration district was used systematically. The drafted index, similar to the MEDEA, will facilitate the updated study of health inequalities for Spain overall following the economic recession that began in 2008.

[Study protocol on Socioeconomic and Geographic Inequalities in Cancer Incidence, Mortality and Survival in Spain: Multilevel Population-Base Study: DESOCANES study]. / Protocolo del Estudio Poblacional Multinivel de las Desigualdades Socioeconómicas en la Distribución Geográfica de la Incidencia, la Mortalidad y la Supervivencia Neta del Cáncer en España: Estudio DESOCANES.

Incidence and mortality provide information on the burden of cancer morbidity and the potential years of life lost due to cancer. The Spanish Deprivation Index (SDI) has been developed as a standardized measure to study socioeconomic deprivation in Spain at the census tract level. In addition, SDI information can be combined with ecological variables at the population level and data from the High-Resolution European Studies in Cancer. The aim of this study is to characterize socioeconomic inequalities in incidence, excess mortality, premature mortality and net survival for three of the most incident cancers (lung, colon-rectum and breast) in Spain using the SDI. This national population-based study will assess the impact of socioeconomic inequalities using a multilevel modelling approach. Spatial analysis, multilevel modeling, net survival and economic impact assessment will be used. The results will be useful for supporting decision-making, planning, and management of public health interventions aimed at reducing the impact of socioeconomic inequalities in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer patients in Spain.

Partial sleep deprivation on dietary energy intake in healthy population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Background: the restriction of nocturnal sleep has immediate effects, including the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness, general fatigue, or impaired concentration. In the long term, it increases the risk of death from cardiac, respiratory, and metabolic disorders, and the prevalence of obesity in healthy populations. However, despite the existence of a large number of studies on this topic, results have been controversial. Objective: to discuss and analyze the evidence on the effects of nocturnal sleep restriction versus habitual sleep on dietary energy intake, including specific meals, as well as the relationship between ghrelin and leptin levels in a healthy population. Methods: a systematic search of the literature was conducted in October 2016 and February 2019 using the PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, and Embase databases. Terms used were "sleep," "feeding behavior," "dietary energy intake," "energy intake," "meal," "ghrelin," and "leptin." Results: the bibliographic search identified 384 potential articles. Of a total of eight articles accepted in the review, six contain information available for the analysis of total energy intake. The overall result shows a significant difference in energy intake between study groups (149.86 (95 % CI: 10.09-289.63); p = 0.04), and a higher intake of all macronutrients. Conclusions: the present systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that partial sleep deprivation increases total energy intake, as well as all macronutrients, when compared to habitual sleep.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Antecedentes: la restricción del sueño nocturno tiene efectos inmediatos, como la presencia de somnolencia diurna excesiva, fatiga general o alteraciones en la concentración; a largo plazo, aumenta el riesgo de muerte por trastornos cardíacos, respiratorios y metabólicos, y aumenta la prevalencia de la obesidad en las poblaciones sanas. Sin embargo, a pesar de la existencia de una gran cantidad de estudios, los resultados siguen siendo controvertidos. Objetivo: discutir y analizar la evidencia sobre la restricción parcial del sueño frente al sueño habitual y su efecto en la ingesta dietética de energía, incluyendo comidas específicas, así como en las concentraciones de ghrelina y leptina en una población sana. Métodos: se realizó una búsqueda electrónica de la literatura entre octubre de 2016 y febrero de 2019 en PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs y Embase. Los términos utilizados fueron "sleep", "feeding behavior", "dietary energy intake", "energy intake", "meal", "ghrelin" y "leptin". Resultados: la búsqueda bibliográfica identificó 384 artículos potenciales. De un total de 8 artículos aceptados en la revisión, 6 tenían información disponible para el análisis de la ingesta total de energía. El resultado general mostró una diferencia significativa en la ingesta de energía (149,86 (IC 95 %: 10,09-289,63); p = 0,04) y una mayor ingesta de todos los macronutrientes. Conclusiones: la presente revisión sistemática y meta-análisis indicó que la restricción del sueño aumenta la ingesta total de energía, así como la de todos los macronutrientes, en comparación con el sueño habitual.

Psychometric evaluation of the Freedman questionnaire to assess sleep in critical patients. / Evaluación psicométrica del cuestionario Freedman para la valoración del sueño en el paciente crítico.

AIM: A study was made of the psychometric characteristics of the modified Freedman questionnaire to assess sleep in critical patients. DESIGN: A psychometric study was carried out, with content validity being explored by a group of experts, and internal consistency based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Factor analysis was performed to explore construct validity, and stability was assessed by test-retest analysis. SETTING: The Department of Intensive Care Medicine of a reference hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Patients admitted between 23 February 2016 and 20 December 2017. INTERVENTIONS: Questionnaire administration. VARIABLES: Items of the modified Freedman questionnaire. RESULTS: Item relevance and definition yielded scores >3 (Likert scale maximum=4). Cronbach's alpha showed a global value of 0.933. The intraclass correlation index was >0.75 for most of the items of the questionnaire. Factor analysis allowed the detection of specific associations between the studied variables and the four factors. CONCLUSIONS: The modified Freedman questionnaire showed good psychometric characteristics. It may be a reliable instrument for assessing the quality of sleep in critically ill patients, as well as the environmental factors.

Androgen deprivation therapy in patients with localized disease: Comparison with curative intent treatments and time to castration resistance. Results of the Spanish Prostate Cancer Registry. / Terapia de privación de andrógenos en pacientes con enfermedad localizada: comparación de las opciones de tratamiento y tiempo hasta la resistencia a la castración. Resultados del Registro Español de Cáncer de Próstata.

BACKGROUND: The effect of primary androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa) has not been well documented. The objective of the present study was to analyze the outcome of tumors treated with ADT as primary therapy in the Spanish Prostate Cancer Registry (19.4% of the series). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were classified in three groups: 1) with low/intermediate risk clinically localized tumors; 2) with high risk and locally advanced (T3-4) tumors; 3) with metastatic tumors. Time to castration resistance and overall cancer-specific survival were analyzed. In non-metastatic tumors, survivals in patients treated with ADT were compared with data from patients who underwent local treatments from the Spanish Prostate Cancer Registry. RESULTS: 703 cases were analyzed. There were significant differences in the time to castration resistance, which was lower in the group of metastatic tumors. During follow-up, there were 179 deaths (25.5%) of which 89 (12.6%) were due to PCa. After 3 years of ADT, only 14.6% of patients in group 1 had died (1% due to PCa), 20.5% in group 2 and 46.8% in group 3 (9.2% and 31.3% due to PCa, respectively). Cancer-specific survival was significantly worse in group 1 using ADT than radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy. In high-risk and locally advanced tumors, ADT also had a lower cancer-specific survival than local treatments. CONCLUSION: A longer time until the castration resistance was observed in patients with well- and intermediate-risk localized tumors treated with ADT. Patients with metastatic tumors showed the shortest time to castration resistance.

[A deprivation index to reform the financing model of primary care in Catalonia (Spain)]. / Un índice de privación para reformar el modelo de financiación de la atención primaria en Cataluña.

OBJECTIVE: To build a deprivation index for the assignation of the budgets of the primary healthcare teams in Catalonia (Spain) valid for both urban and rural environments and updatable with greater frequency than indices built from census variables. METHOD: Starting from a review of the most common deprivation indices, variables were selected from sources that allow frequent updating and are representative at the territorial level of primary care. The correlations were calculated between the chosen variables and variables of need for healthcare and morbidity. principal components analysis was applied. Finally, the correlations of the index built with the MEDEA index and with variables of use of healthcare resources and morbidity was calculated stratifying by geographical dispersion. RESULTS: The variables of income, occupation and education are the ones with the highest correlation with the need for healthcare and morbidity. The composed socioeconomic index (CSI) ranges from -.01 to 5.68, with an average value of 2.60 and a standard deviation of .91. The correlation between the CSI and the MEDEA index is .89. The CSI correlates with use for healthcare in both urban and rural environments, although in rural environments the association is lower. CONCLUSIONS: The CSI was built with data that allow frequent updating and was integrated in the model for allocating resources to primary healthcare starting in 2017.

Ações e condições da privação de liberdade, segundo dissertações de mestrado (2007-2016) / Actuaciones y condiciones de privación de libertad según tesis de maestría (2007-2016) / Actions and conditions of deprivation of liberty according to master's dissertations (2007-2016)

RESUMO Em seu capítulo sobre medidas socioeducativas, o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) propõe a aplicação de medidas a adolescentes autores de atos infracionais, cujo caráter deve ser educativo e não punitivo. O objetivo desse trabalho foi mapear as dissertações indexadas na base Capes sobre a privação de liberdade de adolescentes defendidas entre 2007 e 2016 que respondiam ao problema de pesquisa: 'Quais as contribuições da privação de liberdade como medida socioeducativa para o desenvolvimento de jovens no Brasil?', tendo sido identificadas 1.133 dissertações. Para atender ao objetivo proposto, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental, na qual foram selecionadas 174 dissertações e foi possível perceber vários problemas na execução da medida socioeducativa e que estão em desacordo com as prescrições do Sinase. Em muitos casos, a concepção punitiva se sobrepõe ao aspecto pedagógico, levando a uma aproximação entre o sistema socioeducativo e o sistema prisional. Destaca-se a necessidade de os órgãos responsáveis fiscalizarem os centros socioeducativos para a garantia do cumprimento das normativas.

Se destaca la necesidad de que los organismos responsables inspeccionen los centros socioeducativos para garantizar el cumplimiento de la normativa.

ABSTRACT In its chapter on socio-educational measures, the Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA) proposes the application of measures to adolescents who have committed infractions whose character must be educational and not punitive. The objective of this work was to map the dissertations indexed in the CAPES database on the deprivation of liberty of adolescents defended between 2007 and 2016 that answered the research problem: 'What are the contributions of the deprivation of liberty as a socio-educational measure for the development of young people in Brazil?', having identified 1133 dissertations defended in this period. In order to meet the proposed objective, a documentary research was carried out, in which 174 dissertations were selected and it was possible to perceive several problems in the execution of the socio-educational measure and which are in disagreement with the SINASE prescriptions. In many cases, the punitive conception overlaps the pedagogical aspect, leading to an approximation between the socio-educational system and the prison system. The need for the responsible bodies to inspect the socio-educational centers is highlighted in order to guarantee compliance with the regulations.

A relação entre a privação do sono e a doença de Alzheimer: uma revisão integrativa / The relationship between sleep deprivation and Alzhei mer's disease: an integrative review / La relación entre la privación del sueño y la enfermedad de Alzheimer: una revisión integradora

Introdução: A privação de sono participa de diversos processos neuropatoló- gicos, inclusive na fisiopatologia da Doença de Alzheimer, demência progressiva e mul- tifatorial com morbimortalidade crescente. Ademais, figura como um importante fator de risco modificável da mesma. Portanto, buscou-se analisar a produção científica relevante ao tema e averiguar essa correlação. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura com artigos publicados entre os anos de 2017 e 2022 nas bases de dados PubMed e SCO- PUS. Resultados: 13 artigos analisados, correspondentes a 87% da amostra, verificaram correlação entre a privação do sono e a algum elemento da fisiopatologia da Doença de Alzheimer, especialmente pelo acúmulo de placas extracelulares de ß-amilóide e sua má depuração pelo sistema glinfático. Conclusão: A privação do sono possui forte papel nos processos neurodegenerativos, inclusive na Doença de Alzheimer. Estratégias de promo- ção de sono com boa duração e qualidade são necessárias e abrem novas perspectivas de medidas preventivas e efetivação de terapias modificadoras da doença, sendo necessários estudos com maiores populações e duração para a melhor compreensão dessa relação.

Introduction: Sleep deprivation is involved in various neuropathological processes, including the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, a progressive and multifactorial dementia with increasing morbidity and mortality. Moreover, it is an important modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, we sought to analyze relevant scientific production on the subject and investigate this correlation. Methodology: This is a literature review of articles published between 2017 and 2022 in the databases PubMed and SCOPUS. Results: 13 articles analyzed, corresponding to 87% of the sample, found a correlation between sleep deprivation and some element of the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, especially through the accumulation of extracellular ß-amyloid plaques and their poor clearance by the glymphatic system. Conclusion: Sleep deprivation plays a strong role in neurodegenerative processes, including Alzheimer's disease. Sleep promotion strategies with good duration and quality are necessary and open new perspectives for preventive measures and effective implementation of disease-modifying therapies, requiring studies with larger populations and duration for better understanding of this relationship.

Conclusiones: La privación de sueño desempeña un papel importante en los procesos neurodegenerativos, incluida la enfermedad de Al- zheimer. Estrategias de promoción del sueño con buena duración y calidad son necesarias y abren nuevas perspectivas para medidas preventivas e implementación efectiva de tera- pias modificadoras de la enfermedad, requiriendo estudios con mayor población y dura- ción para una mejor comprensión de esta relación.

A privação do sono e seus impactos no desenvolvimento de transtornos neurodegenerativos / Sleep deprivation and its impacts on the development of neurodegenerative disorders / La privación del sueño y su impacto en el desarrollo de trastornos neurodegenerativos

Introdução: A redução do tempo de sono, abaixo das necessidades básicas individuais, denominada privação do sono (PS) é alvo de pesquisas que buscam entender seus efeitos no organismo humano. Estudos em indivíduos que experienciam a PS regularmente demonstraram consequências negativas da prática na saúde humana. Objetivo: A fim de aprofundar o entendimento sobre o tema, esta revisão integrativa de literatura tem o objetivo de elucidar os impactos da PS na cognição, no humor e no desenvolvimento de transtornos neurodegenerativos. Métodos: Por meio da leitura de artigos, selecionados pelo método PRISMA, e da síntese de seus resultados. Resultados: Após análise, foram selecionados 18 artigos, que discutiam sobre o desenvolvimento de doenças neurodegenerativas. Como resultado, observou-se predominância, nos artigos, de impactos negativos da PS sobre o tema estudado, com pequena minoria demonstrando resultados inconclusivos ou sem impacto/impacto significativo, e sem relatos de impactos positivos. Nota-se prejuízos da PS no desenvolvimento de doenças neurodegenerativas, com alta relação à Doença de Alzheimer e relatos sobre Doença de Parkinson, Doença de Huntington e Esclerose Múltipla. Conclusão: Portanto, constata-se como a PS pode exercer impactos negativos no ser humano, notadamente para o desenvolvimento de transtornos neurodegenerativos.

Introduction: The reduction of sleep time, below individual basic needs, called sleep deprivation (SD), is the subject of research that seeks to understand its effects on the human body. Studies in individuals who experience SD regularly have shown negative consequences of this practice on human health. Objective: In order to deepen the understanding of the subject, this integrative literature review aims to elucidate the impacts of SD on the development of neurodegenerative disorders. Methods: Through the reading of articles, selected by the PRISMA method, and the synthesis of their results. After analysis, 18 articles were selected, in which was discussed the development of neurodegenerative. Results: As a result, there was a predominance, in the articles, of negative impacts of SD on the studied aspect, with a small minority demonstrating inconclusive results or results without impact or significant impact, and without any reports of positive impacts. It is noticeable that SD results in damages in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, with great association with Alzheimer's Disease and one report associating SD and Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. Conclusion: Therefore, it is clear how SD can have negative impacts on humans, notably for the development of neurodegenerative disorders.

Adecuación del esfuerzo terapéutico: retos en pediatría / Adequacy of therapeutic effort: Challenges in pediatrics

La adecuación del esfuerzo terapéutico reemplaza la expresión limitación terapéutica y se define como la decisión de no iniciar medidas diagnósticas y terapéuticas o de suspenderlas en respuesta a la condición del paciente, para evitar conductas potencialmente inapropiadas y redireccionar los objetivos de tratamiento hacia el confort y el bienestar. En la población pediátrica, esta decisión es aún más desafiante debido a la naturaleza de la relación médico-paciente-familia y a la escasez de guías que orienten su implementación. La adecuación del esfuerzo terapéutico está enmarcada en principios éticos y legales, pero existen diversos retos a nivel práctico. Cada proceso de adecuación es único y dinámico, y debe abordarse contemplando a quién realizarlo, cuándo, cómo y con qué medidas.

The term "therapeutic limitation" has been replaced by "adequacy of therapeutic effort" and is defined as the decision to withhold or withdraw diagnostic and therapeutic measures in response to the patient's condition, avoiding potentially inappropriate behaviors and redirectong treatment goals towards comfort and well-being. In the pediatric population, this decision is even more challenging given the nature of the physician-patient-family relationship and the paucity of guidelines to address treatment goals. The adequacy of therapeutic effort is framed by ethical and legal principles, but, in practice, there are several challenges. Each adequacy process is unique and dynamic, and should be addressed by taking into account with what measures, how, when, and in whom it should be implemented
