Mobbing perception among Intensive Care Unit nurses. / Percepción del mobbing entre el personal de enfermería de la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos.

AIM: to determine the perception of intensive care unit nursing staff on mobbing. METHOD: qualitative approach study, Grounded Theory was used, 12intensive care unit nurses of 2public hospitals in our country during December 2017. RESULTS: female sex predominated with an average age of 41.33 years old, mostly married, on night shift and trained a nursing technicians; 4categories emerged: general knowledge about mobbing, the origin of mobbing and its main actors, experiences of mobbing as a victim and as a spectator and the implications of mobbing in working life. DISCUSSION: issues of workplace harassment are sensitive for most health workers, since they deal with private situations and lack of support from superiors when they have been victims of harassment. The evidence shows that one of the reasons why mobbing can be perceived in different ways is because little is known about the real concept, it can be associated with multiple forms of violence and there is heterogeneity in the use of the term. CONCLUSION: the majority of intensive care unit nursing staff have been victims and witnesses of mobbing behaviour, with negative repercussions on their job satisfaction and performance; It is also the cause of constant staff turnover.

Seudohipoparatiroidismo neonatal transitorio: una causa rara de hipocalcemia neonatal tardía / Transient neonatal pseudohypoparathyroidism: an uncommon cause of late neonatal hypocalcemia

El seudohipoparatiroidismo neonatal transitorio es un cuadro escasamente descrito, que cursa con hipocalcemia neonatal tardía, hiperfosfatemia y niveles elevados de hormona paratiroidea (PTH), lo que refleja resistencia periférica a su acción. Es una causa infrecuente de hipocalcemia neonatal tardía, y el defecto bioquímico parece residir en una inmadurez funcional de los receptores renales de la PTH. Para su corrección, se precisan aportes elevados de calcio y análogos de vitamina D. Su carácter autolimitado lo diferencia de otros seudohipoparatiroidismos persistentes. Exponemos el caso de una recién nacida pretérmino, con crecimiento intrauterino retardado, que presentó esta patología. Analizaremos los hallazgos clínicos y bioquímicos, así como el diagnóstico diferencial y el manejo de este raro trastorno(AU)

Transient neonatal pseudohypoparathyroidism is an uncommon pathology that causes late neonatal hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH),which reflects peripheral resistance to its action. It is a rare cause of late neonatal hypocalcemia and the biochemical defect appears to lie in a functional immaturity of renal PTH receptors. High doses of calcium and vitamin D are necesary for its correction. Its self-limited evolution differences it with other persistent pseudohypoparathyroidism. We report a case of a premature newborn with intrauterine growth retardation who presented this pathology. We analyze the clinical and biochemical findings and differential diagnosis and management of this rare disorder(AU)
