Inclusion at universities: Psychometric properties of an inclusive management scale as perceived by students.

INTRODUCTION: During the last century, the inclusion of all kinds of diversity became a social imperative in all social spaces but above all in some institutions such as the educational ones. Among these, inclusion has been least studied in the tertiary education organizations. This communication proposes and evaluates the psychometric properties of a new instrument, named Inclusive Management in Tertiary Institutions Scale (IMTIS), to assess inclusive management in universities. METHOD: The researchers used a quantitative research model through survey. We based on the Index for Inclusion to design the IMTIS. We first submitted it to the assessment of experts. Then we applied the resulting version in an online survey including a sample of 1557 students from two universities and 121 different undergraduate careers. A panel of experts judged the content validity of the instrument. Participants answered the IMTIS after informed consent. We used confirmatory factor analysis to assess the construct validity of the instrument. We also evaluated the reliability of the measurements. RESULTS: From a kit of 33 originally proposed items, we obtained a version of 22 items with CVR between 0.60 and 1.00, and a IVC = 0.78. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the six-factor solution had a better adjustment than the one and three factors solutions (RMSEA = 0.059; CFI = 0.947; TLI = 0.937). The McDonald ω coefficients were between 0.864 and 0.922. CONCLUSION: The results deliver evidence that supports the validity and reliability of the IMTIS measurements to carry out research and diagnosis of inclusive management in higher education institutions.

Caso clínico: Anestesia en trauma facial con vía aérea comprometida / Case report: Compromise airway and orofacial trauma

INTRODUCTION: Facial trauma constitutes a challenge in perioperative management, since this anatomical zone possesses com- plex vital structures such as important vessel and nerve bundles, as well as the beginning of the upper airway. That is why an injury in this region requires rapid and effective diagnosis and management since ventilation can be seriously compromised by airway obstruction, either due to the object of trauma, or inflammatory reaction and edema; bruises, burns, or direct breaka- ge. The vascular lesion can cause profuse bleeding, as well as aspiration of blood and fragments of tissues that were injured. Choosing the anesthesia technique is usually a challenge when a priori structures such as the mouth and nose are compromised. METHOD: A clinical case and bibliographic review are presented. CONCLUSION: Regional facial and neck anesthesia techniques together with adequate sedation are an alternative in the initial management of mild facial trauma.

INTRODUCCIÓN: El trauma facial constituye un reto en el manejo perioperatorio, ya que esta zona anatómica posee complejas estructuras vitales como paquetes vasculares y nerviosos, así como el inicio de la vía aérea superior. Es por ello que toda lesión en esta región requiere de un diagnóstico y manejo rápido y eficaz, puesto que la ventilación puede comprometerse gravemente por obstrucción de la vía aérea, ya sea por el objeto del trauma, reacción inflamatoria y edema; hematomas, quemaduras o rotura directa. La lesión vascular puede ocasionar sangrado profuso, así como aspiración de sangre y fragmentos de los tejidos que fueron lesionados. Elegir la técnica anestésica suele ser un reto cuando a priori estructuras como la boca y nariz se encuentran comprometidas. MÉTODO: Se presenta un caso clínico y revisión bibliográfica. CONCLUSIONES: Las técnicas de anestesia regional de cara y cuello junto a sedación adecuada son una alternativa en el manejo inicial del trauma facial leve.

Sample: 13 women, between 22 and 55 years old. METHODOLOGY: Educational intervention based on the "Community as a Partner" Model of Anderson and McFarlane of Nursing and the Adult Education Model of Jane Vella. A survey was answered anonymously to collect information. The participatory diagnosis allowed identifications of thetopics concerned including: control of vital signs and its applications and first aid attention demonstrated practically in the sessions. RESULTS: Contributions were made to the knowledge regarding the management of basic care in health (Vital Signs, First Aid and Habits of Healthy Living) applied to self-care of patients and their respective families. In a simulated scenario, participants in the survey demonstrated that they practiced what they had learned. CONCLUSION: Strengths such as motivation for learning and positive response to participative methodologies were identified. Additionally, the intervention contributed to the empowerment of the participants through the learning of contents and development of confidence to confront emergency situations in every day life.

Occurrence of Mutations in the Antimicrobial Target Genes Related to Levofloxacin, Clarithromycin, and Amoxicillin Resistance in Helicobacter pylori Isolates from Buenos Aires City.

Domain V of 23S rRNA, gyrA and gyrB Quinolones Resistance-Determining Region (QRDR), and pbp-1A gene point mutations were investigated in Helicobacter pylori-resistant isolates from three centres of Buenos Aires. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were performed in 197 isolates from 52 H. pylori-positive naive patients by agar dilution method. Point mutations were achieved by amplification and sequencing of the target genes, and their association with resistance was determined by natural transformation assays. Resistance rates were as follows: metronidazole 28.8%, clarithromycin (CLA) 26.9%, levofloxacin (LEV) 32.7%, and amoxicillin (AMX) 7.6%. Nearly one-third of patients carried multidrug-resistant isolates. A2143G or A2142G in domain V of 23S-rRNA was found in all isolates showing high level of resistance to CLA (MIC >2 mg/L), accounting for 76.0% (38/50) of those with the resistant phenotype. The mutations A2267G or T1861C carried by 8/12 isolates with MIC 1-2 mg/L (low level) did not confer resistance by transformation. Substitutions at GyrA position 87 or 91, mainly N87K and D91G, were found in 92.8% (52/56) of the LEV-resistant isolates: 48 isolates with MIC 4-64 mg/L and 4/8 isolates with MIC 2 mg/L. The remaining four harboured K133N, also present in susceptible isolates. None of the substitutions in GyrB demonstrated to confer resistance. Transformation proved that PBP-1A N562Y and/or T556S substitutions confer the AMX resistance in our isolates, showing an additive effect. In conclusion, the usually reported mutations related to CLA, LEV, and AMX resistance were found in our isolates. However, low-level CLA resistance seems not to be due to mutations in Domain V of 23S rRNA gene.

Respuesta ortostática de la tensión arterial de pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson inicial / Orthostatic response of blood pressure in patients with early Parkinson's disease

Objetivo: Evaluar la respuesta ortostática de la tensión arterial de forma no invasiva en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson inicial leve a moderada atendidos en el Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía. Método: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal con grupo control. Se incluyeron pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson de menos de 5 años de evolución y severidad leve a moderada así como controles sanos. Se excluyeron sujetos con diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial o diagnóstico de disautonomía. Se realizaron mediciones de la tensión arterial en posición supina, y posteriormente a los3y5minde asumir bipedestación. Resultados: Se incluyeron 70 sujetos con enfermedad de Parkinson y 145 controles. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en género y edad entre ambos grupos. No hubo diferencias en el cambio de la tensión arterial sistólica entre los grupos a los 3 min pero sí a los 5min (p = 0.03). En el caso de la tensión diastólica existió diferencia entre ambos grupos a los 3 y 5min (p = 0.02 y p = 0.007). Conclusión: Los pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson inicial presentan diferencias en la respuesta ortostática con respecto a controles sanos, siendo de mayor relevancia a los 5 min de bipedestación.

Objective: To evaluate orthostatic blood pressure response in patients with early Parkinson's disease and mild to moderate disease treated at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery. Method: A cross-sectional study with control group was carried out. Patients with Parkinson's disease with a disease duration of less than 5 years and mild to moderate severity along with healthy controls of the same age group were included. Those subjects with diabetes mellitus, hypertension or diagnosis of dysautonomia were excluded. Blood pressure was measured in supine position as well as after 3 and 5 min of standing. Results: Seventy subjects with Parkinson's disease and 145 controls were included. There were no statistically significant differences in gender and age between both groups. There was no difference in systolic blood pressure change between groups at 3 minutes but at 5 minutes a statistically significant difference was found (P = .03). For diastolic blood pressure a difference between both groups was present at three and five minutes (P = .02 and P = .007). Conclusion: Patients with early Parkinson's disease have differences in orthostatic responses compared to healthy controls, these differences are more relevant at 5 minutes of standing.
