Violencia doméstica atendida en urgencias de un hospital comarcal: características sociodemográficas de víctima y agresor / Medical attention for domestic violence in a regional hospital: sociodemographic characteristics of victims and aggressors

Objetivos: Conocer las características sociodemográficas de víctimas y agresores, tipo de maltrato y las circunstancias que lo definen, en los casos de violencia doméstica atendidos en el servicio de urgencias de un hospital comarcal. Como segundo objetivo se investigará si existieron rasgos diferenciales, tanto en la víctima como en el agresor, en función del género. Método: Estudio prospectivo, observacional, de las víctimas de violencia doméstica atendidas del 15 de marzo de 2003 al 14 de marzo de 2004. Durante la atención se cumplimenta un cuestionario socio demográfico y un formulario médico-legal y de actuación clínica. Se realizó el estudio estadístico de las variables diferenciadas en función del género de víctima y agresor. Resultados: Se recogieron 58 casos, 43 (74%) de violencia dentro de la pareja (39 contra mujeres), 2 (3%) de malos tratos al anciano y 5 (9%) de maltrato a menores de 18 años. Las víctimas tienen una edad media de 35 ± 14, y el 82,6% son mujeres, y principalmente casadas (48%), con nivel de estudios bajo (67%) y escaso poder económico autónomo. El agresor es más frecuentemente hombre (90%) de 39±12 años de edad, pareja dela víctima (74%) con la que ha mantenido relaciones prolongadas (60% más de 6 años).La agresión más frecuente es la física aislada (55%), existen agresiones previas en el 65%y amenaza de muerte asociada en el 36%. El agresor tiene trabajo estable (41%) con mayor frecuencia que el agredido (19%; p < 0,05). Con mayor frecuencia el hombre agresor tiene estudios primarios o inferiores (78%) que la mujer agresora (32%; p < 0,05).Conclusiones: La violencia contra la mujer dentro de la pareja es la forma más frecuente de maltrato. El agresor es más frecuentemente hombre, de edad media y conviviente durante largo tiempo con la víctima. El maltrato continuado tiene una alta prevalencia en el estudio (AU)

Aim: The primary objective of the study was to assess the sociodemographic characteristics of victims and aggressors, the type of abuse and the defining circumstances of mistreatment in domestic violence cases attended in the Emergency Department a county hospital. The second aim was to determine gender-related differences between the victim and aggressor. Methods: Prospective, observational study of domestic violence victims who presented at the hospital in the period from March 15, 2003 to March 14, 2004. While being atended every patient completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and a medical-legal and clinical performance evaluation form. Statistical analysis of differential variables based an the gender of the victim and aggressor was performed. Results: A total of 58 persons were included, 43 (74%) reporting couple-related violence (39 against women), 2 (3%) ill-treatment to the elderly and 5 (9%) mistreatment of minors under 18 years of age. The mean age of the subjects was 35 ± 14 years, 82.6% were female, predominantly married (48%), with low education (67%) and poor economic status. The aggressor was most frequently a 39-12 year old male (90%), who was the partner of the victim (74%) with a prolonged relationship (60%, > 6 years). The most frequent aggression was isolated physical injury (55%), previous aggressions had occurred in 65% and associated death threats in 36%. The aggressor more often had a more stable job (41%) than to the victim (19%; p < 0.05). Primary or lower education was more common (78%) in male aggressors compared to female agressors (32%; p < 0.05).Conclusions: Violence against the women within the couple is the most frequent form of mistreatment. Commonly the aggressor is a middle-aged man, who had been cohabiting for a long time with the victim. The prevalence of continued mistreatment in the present study was very high (AU)

Estudio de prevalencia en población inmigrante / Pathological gambling related to alcoholism: a commorbidity study

Objetivos: Evaluar la prevalencia de patología en inmigrantes que acuden a un Centro de Salud de Atención Primaria. Metodología: Población: sujetos imnigrantes que acuden a la consulta de demanda durante un año. Material y métodos: Se elaboró un protocolo con variabless ociodemográficas y clínicas. Resultados: Se recogieron datos de 300 pacientes según su patología: -Variables sociodemográficas: edad media 32 años, estructura familiar 4 personas como media, situación laboral activa 70 y 30% en desempleo. -Variables clínicas: Primera causa: trastornos mentales (19,33%) segunda causa: aparato locomotor (14%) tercera causa: aparato digestivo (12,33%). Conclusiones: El perfil de salud del inmigrante es el de un joven sin enfermedades crónicas debilitantes a su llegada, pero con un exceso de enfermedades infecciosas. El diagnóstico más frecuente fue el de trastornos mentales destacando el síndrome ansioso-depresivo, siendo difícil para el médico establecer una relación de causalidad

Aims: Evaluation of the prevalence of the pathology in immigrants people who go to the Health Center of Primary Atention. Methodology: Population inmigrants subjets who go to the health office reduring one year. Material and methods: It has been worked with socio-demographic and clinic variables. Results: It has been picked up 300 patients data according to their patology: -Sociodemografic variables: age: 32 years old of average, familiar structure is 4 people as anave rase, work situation: emploies 70 and 30% unemploies. -Clinic variables: first etiology mental diseases (19.33%), second etiology: locomotor apparatus (14%), third etiology: digestive apparatus(1 2.33%). Conclusions: Health inmigrant's profile is a young person without cronic diseases when they arrive, but with an excess of contagius diseases. The most usual diagnostic has been mental diseases above all the depresive-anxiety syndrome, it has been difficult for the doctor establish one causality relationt hip

Change in apoplastic aluminum during the initial growth response to aluminum by roots of a tolerant maize variety

Root elongation, hematoxylin staining, and changes in the ultrastructure of root-tip cells of an Al-tolerant maize variety (Zea mays L. C 525 M) exposed to nutrient solutions with 20 &mgr;M Al (2.1 &mgr;M Al3+ activity) for 0, 4, and 24 h were investigated in relation to the subcellular distribution of Al using scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis on samples fixed by different methods. Inhibition of root-elongation rates, hematoxylin staining, cell wall thickening, and disturbance of the distribution of pyroantimoniate-stainable cations, mainly Ca, was observed only after 4 and not after 24 h of exposure to Al. The occurrence of these transient, toxic Al effects on root elongation and in cell walls was accompanied by the presence of solid Al-P deposits in the walls. Whereas no Al was detectable in cell walls after 24 h, an increase of vacuolar Al was observed after 4 h of exposure. After 24 h, a higher amount of electron-dense deposits containing Al and P or Si was observed in the vacuoles. These results indicate that in this tropical maize variety, tolerance mechanisms that cause a change in apoplastic Al must be active. Our data support the hypothesis that in Al-tolerant plants, Al can rapidly cross the plasma membrane; these data clearly contradict the former conclusions that Al mainly accumulates in the apoplast and enters the symplast only after severe cell damage has occurred.

Inertia and Resilience in the Responses of the Aquatic Bryophyte Fontinalis antipyretica Hedw. to Thermal Stress

The physiological responses of the aquatic bryophyte Fontinalis antipyretica Hedw. to high temperatures, ranging from 16 degreesC (control) to 34 degreesC, were investigated experimentally. Plant samples were maintained at the temperature under study for up to 25 days with regular determination of physiological variables (pigment ratio and photosynthetic and respiratory rates). Physiological responses to temperature did not differ significantly between mosses collected from a normal river site and from a river site with abnormally high temperature due to input from a hot spring. Simple curve-fitting procedures and summary statistics analogous to those used in toxicological research were employed to compare responses as revealed by the different physiological variables. In a second series of experiments, the capacity of F. antipyretica to recover from high-temperature stress was investigated by maintaining samples at 30 degreesC for 2, 4, or 10 days, then transferring the samples to normal conditions (16 degreesC) for 40 days. Physiological variables were again monitored at regular intervals throughout both phases of the experiment. In general, good recovery was observed even after exposure to high temperatures for 10 days. The results of these assays allow quantification of the relationship between a pigment ratio and net photosynthesis rate.
