Scavengers provide significant nature's contributions to people (NCP), including disease control through carcass removal, but their non-material NCP are rarely considered. For the first time, we assess the extent and value of the NCP provided by European avian scavengers through a scavenger-based tourism at Pyrenean supplementary feeding sites (SFS). Using a two-step cluster analysis, two different types of visitor were identified (specialist avian scavenger-watchers and generalist nature-lovers) at those SFS offering recreational experiences (n = 20, i.e. birdwatching, educational, or photographic activities). Most visitors (85%) perceived avian scavengers as beneficial NCP providers, associating this guild with non-material NCP (mostly supporting identities), followed by regulating and maintenance of options NCP (<1%). Our findings help to characterize the type of people who participate in scavenger related recreation and to identify and value their perceptions of avian scavengers. There has not been much previous research on positive human-wildlife interactions, even though ignoring people emotional bonds with nature can be perilous for biodiversity conservation.

In recent decades, global positioning system (GPS) location data and satellite telemetry systems for data transmission have become fundamental in the study of basic ecological traits in wildlife biology. Evaluating GPS location errors is essential in assessing detailed information about the behaviour of an animal species such as migration, habitat selection, species distribution or foraging strategy. While many studies of the influence of environmental and technical factors on the fix errors of solar-powered GPS transmitters have been published, few studies have focussed on the performance of GPS systems in relation to a species' biological traits. Here, we evaluate the possible effects of the biological traits of a large raptor on the frequency of lost fixes-the fix-loss rate (FLR). We analysed 95,686 records obtained from 20 Bearded Vultures Gypaetus barbatus tracked with 17 solar-powered satellite transmitters in the Pyrenees (Spain, France and Andorra), between 2006 and 2019 to evaluate the influence of biological, technical, and environmental factors on the fix-loss rate of transmitters. We show that combined effects of technical factors and the biological traits of birds explained 23% of the deviance observed. As expected, the transmitter usage time significantly increased errors in the fix-loss rate, although the flight activity of birds revealed an unexpected trade-off: the greater the proportion of fixes recorded from perched birds, the lower the FLR. This finding seems related with the fact that territorial and breeding birds spend significantly more time flying than non-territorial individuals. The fix success rate is apparently due to the interactions between a complex of factors. Non-territorial adults and subadults, males, and breeding individuals showed a significantly lower FLR than juveniles-immatures females, territorial birds or non-breeding individuals. Animal telemetry tracking studies should include error analyses before reaching any ecological conclusions or hypotheses about spatial distribution.

OBJECTIVE: The increased morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular events in patients with rheumatoid arthritis has been linked to traditional and nontraditional factors. However, these factors vary among different ethnicities. Few studies have described these features in Hispanic populations. Thus, we determined the clinical correlates of arterial vascular events in Hispanics from Puerto Rico. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in a cohort of 405 Puerto Ricans with rheumatoid arthritis. Demographic parameters, health-related behaviors, clinical manifestations, disease activity (per Disease Activity Score 28), functional status (per Health Assessment Questionnaire), comorbidities, and pharmacotherapy were compared in patients with and without incident arterial vascular events. The latter was defined as the occurrence of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, vascular procedures for coronary artery disease, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. Study groups were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Of the total study population, 87.2% were woman. The mean age at study visit was 56.1 ± 13.9 years, and the mean disease duration was 15.0 ± 13.2 years. Arterial vascular events occurred in 43 patients (10.6%). In the multivariate analysis adjusted for age and sex, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, extra-articular manifestations, higher Health Assessment Questionnaire score, and number of hospitalizations were associated with arterial cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION: In this cohort of Puerto Ricans with rheumatoid arthritis, traditional and nontraditional factors, particularly extra-articular manifestations and functional disability, were associated with arterial vascular events. Awareness of these associations may help to implement clinical strategies in this group of rheumatoid arthritis patients at risk of arterial vascular events.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: In allergology, the intradermal approach is generally used to establish an aetiological diagnosis, with limited experience in specific allergen immunotherapy. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy with an allergen extract of glutaraldehyde-polymerized Phleum pratense, administered intradermally, in patients with rhinoconjunctivitis sensitized to grass pollen. METHODS: Multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients from 12 to 65 years of age with rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis, with or without asthma, due to grass pollen allergy. Patients were divided into three groups and received a total of six doses in a weekly interval, of either placebo; 0.03 or 0.06 µg of protein per dose of P pratense allergoid. The primary objective was to evaluate the combined symptoms and medication consumption score (CSMS). The secondary objectives were symptoms and medication, tolerance to the conjunctival provocation test, specific IgE and IgG4 antibodies and the safety profile according to the WAO scale. RESULTS: The dose of 0.06 µg of protein proved to be effective versus the placebo by significantly reducing CSMS and increasing tolerance to the allergenic extract in the conjunctival provocation test, after the first pollen season. This group showed a significant reduction in specific IgE after the second pollen season relative to the baseline. There were no variations in IgG4 levels. Only one grade 2 systemic reaction was recorded. CONCLUSION & CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Intradermal immunotherapy with P pratense allergoid has been shown to be effective and safe, reducing CSMS, increasing tolerance to the conjunctival provocation test and reducing IgE levels.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La gastrosquisis es una anomalía que expone los órganos abdominales hacia el exterior. La prevalencia media global es de 1.36 por cada 10 000 nacidos vivos. En el Ecuador, según el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INEC), se evidencia un aumento en el número de casos de egreso hospitalario alcanzando los 52 pacientes en el año 2010, los 85 en el 2012 y los 112 pacientes en el 2015. El objetivo del presente caso es realizar una descripción de esta patología y dar a conocer la importancia que tiene su diagnóstico prenatal con el fin de planificar su resolución quirúrgica para la atención inmediata al recién nacido luego del nacimiento. CASO CLÍNICO: recién nacido de madre primigesta de 16 años, sin más antecedentes prenatales, se realizó cuatro ultrasonidos durante el embarazo en casa de salud particular, los cuales no reportaron alteraciones. A las 37.4 semanas nace por parto eutócico, evidenciándose gastrosquisis. Se realizó laparotomía más peritoneostomía a las 24 horas de vida, y se programó cierre diferido. EVOLUCIÓN: recibió manejo integral en cuidados intensivos neonatales. Se realizó cierre definitivo a los 8 días. Permaneció hospitalizado por 22 días, recibió nutrición parenteral y se inició alimentación trófica a los 15 días de vida; se inició antibioticoterapia de primera línea, sin embargo por evolución tórpida, requirió rotación a antibiótico de amplio espectro. CONCLUSIÓN: la gastrosquisis se puede ser detectada por ecografía desde la semana doce de gestación con el objetivo de minimizar las complicaciones y planificar su resolución quirúrgica inmediatamente luego de su nacimiento.(au)
BACKGROUND: Gastroschisis is an anomaly in which abdominal organs are exposed outside the abdominal wall. The global average prevalence is 1.36 for each 10 000 newborns. In Ecuador, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC), there is evidence of an increase in the number of hospital discharges with this diagnosis, reaching 52 in 2010, 85 in 2012, and 112 patients in 2015. The aim of this publication is to describe this pathology and expose the importance of prenatal diagnosis to plan prompt surgical intervention for the newborn after birth. CASE REPORT: newborn from a 16-year-old primigravid mother, with no other prenatal history, four ultrasounds were performed during pregnancy in a private health facility, which reported no alterations. At 37.4 weeks of pregnancy, the newborn was delivered by eutocic birth, showing gastroschisis. The patient underwent laparotomy and peritoneostomy at 24 hours of age, delayed closure was scheduled. EVOLUTION: the newborn received comprehensive care in the neonatal intensive care unit. Delayed closure was performed eight days later. He remained hospitalized for 22 days, he received parenteral nutrition and started trophic feeding at 15 days of age; first-line antibiotic therapy was initiated, however due to torpid evolution, he required a change to a broad-spectrum antibiotic. CONCLUSION: gastroschisis can be detected in ultrasound from the twelve week of pregnancy to minimize complications and program the surgical procedure immediately after birth.(au)

BACKGROUND: The development of satellite tracking technology enables the gathering of huge amounts of accurate data on animal movements over measured time intervals, to reveal essential information about species' patterns of spatial use. This information is especially important in optimizing the design of conservation and management strategies for endangered species. In this study, we analysed the main drivers of daily patterns in the flight activity of the threatened Bearded Vulture Gypaetus barbatus. We studied 19 Bearded Vultures tagged with solar-powered GPS transmitters from 2006 to 2016 in the Pyrenees (Spain). We assessed the relative influence of external factors (season and daylight time) and internal factors (sex, breeding season and territorial status) on their daily activity behaviour by computing mean hourly distance travelled, maximum displacement and cumulative distance travelled per hour. RESULTS: Our findings showed a clear difference in all the estimators between territorial and non-territorial (floating) members of the population, showing that non-territorial individuals spent much longer in flight and travelled larger distances per day. We detected an important influence of daylight time and season on the daily rhythms of Bearded Vultures; flight activity increased during the last three quarters of daylight and was greatest in the spring. Breeding period and sex had also an effect on the maximum displacement and cumulative distance travelled. Individuals flew more during the breeding period and females tended to exhibit greater cumulative and maximum distances per hour than males regardless of breeding season. CONCLUSIONS: Pyrenean Bearded Vultures flight daily activity was strongly influenced by daylight time, season, and territorial status, while individual sex and breeding season showed a milder effect on the birds' movement behaviour. This study gives a novel insight into how external factors act as main drivers of the daily flight activity pattern of a long-lived avian scavenger.

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 125 pacientes, atendidas en la Consulta de Patología de Cuello, perteneciente al área de salud del Policlínico Universitario Municipal de Santiago de Cuba, durante el 2016, con vistas a describir los principales factores que propiciaron la aparición del cáncer cervicouterino. En la serie predominaron la neoplasia intracervical de grado I, la cervicitis crónica y las mujeres que comenzaron sus relaciones sexuales a los 15-19 años de edad (68,8 por ciento). Resultó significativa la presencia de leucorrea, sangrado poscoital y el virus del papiloma humano como antecedente de infección de transmisión sexual. Se destacó el papel negativo del cambio frecuente de pareja. Quedó demostrada la necesidad de que los profesionales de la salud consoliden sus conocimientos teóricos y prácticos sobre el cáncer cervicouterino, con énfasis en la educación sexual y reproductiva de las féminas, a través de la promoción y prevención de salud en la atención primaria
A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 125 patients, assisted in the Neck Pathology Service, belonging to the health area of the Municipal University Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out during 2016, aimed at describing the main factors that favored the emergence of cervical cancer. In the series there was a prevalence of grade I intracervical neoplasm, chronic cervicitis and women whose sexual relationships began at 15-19 years (68.8 percent). The presence of leukorrhea, postcoital bledding and human papilloma virus as history of sexual transmitted infection was significant. The necessity that health professionals consolidate their theoretical and practical knowledge on cervical cancer, with emphasis in the sexual and reproductive education of women, through the promotion and health prevention in primary care was demonstrated

This study, grounded in Self-Determination Theory (Deci and Ryan, 1985, 2002) was aimed to determine the influence of a cognitive-motivational intervention program, to improve the basic psychological need satisfaction of autonomy and competence, autonomous motivation, procedural knowledge, perceived performance and sport commitment, in youth volleyball players. Participants included 34 Under-19 female volleyball players. A quasi-experimental design was carried out with an experimental group (n = 16; M = 17.45; SD = .45) and a control group (n = 18; M = 16.64; SD = .70). The experimental group followed a multidimensional intervention program comprised of 24 sessions held over three months (two training sessions per week). It was based on two strategies: giving athletes the possibility of choice in specific training tasks (proposing training situations with several action alternatives) and questioning (cognitively involving players through tactical questions). A repeated-measures MANOVA 2 (group: experimental and control) x 2 (time: pre-test and post-test) was used to analyse the effect of Group x Time interaction. The results of the inter-group analysis showed significant differences in the post-test measurement between the experimental group and the control group (in favour of the experimental group) in the variables: basic psychological need satisfaction of autonomy and competence, autonomous motivation, procedural knowledge, perceived performance and sport commitment. Given the relevance of the cognitive-motivational processes, not only for performance but also for sport commitment, this intervention has important implications for sport coaching.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of two intervention programs: a physical exercise program with strategies to support the three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness); and a physical exercise program with nutritional education in order to improve the lifestyles of adult and elderly women who practiced functional maintenance. The Self-Determination Theory was applied as the theoretical framework. A sample of 135 women aged between 40 and 88 years (59.66 ± 10.76) who enrolled in a 12-week functional maintenance program and attended 24 exercise classes took part in the study. A quasi-experimental study was performed where strategies to support the three basic psychological needs were applied to one group and strategies for the improvement of eating habits were applied to the other group. No strategy was applied to the control group. The main results showed an improvement in experimental groups I and II when compared to the control group regarding the variables of autonomy, competence, intrinsic regulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, external regulation and eating habits, after the application of the intervention programs. The conclusion is that both intervention programs were successful with this project's participants and that it is crucial to promote such intervention programs in functional maintenance classes, as they foster healthy lifestyles among participants.
