RESUMO

Human aging is a physiological, progressive, heterogeneous global process that causes a decline of all body systems, functions, and organs. Throughout this process, cognitive function suffers an incremental decline with broad interindividual variability.The first objective of this study was to examine the differences in the performance on the MoCA test (v. 7.3) per gender and the relationship between the performance and the variables age, years of schooling, and depressive symptoms .The second objective was to identify factors that may influence the global performance on the MoCA test (v. 7.3) and of the domains orientation, language, memory, attention/calculation, visuospatial and executive function, abstraction, and identification.A cross-sectional study was carried out in which five hundred seventy-three (573) cognitively healthy adults ≥ 50 years old were included in the study. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the GDS-15 questionnaire to assess depression symptoms and the Spanish version of the MoCA Test (v 7.3) were administered. The evaluations were carried out between the months of January and June 2022. Differences in the MoCA test performance per gender was assessed with Student's t-test for independent samples. The bivariate Pearson correlation was applied to examine the relationship between total scoring of the MoCA test performance and the variables age, years of schooling, and depressive symptoms. Different linear multiple regression analyses were performed to determine variables that could influence the MoCA test performance.We found gender-related MoCA Test performance differences. An association between age, years of schooling, and severity of depressive symptoms was observed. Age, years of schooling, and severity of depressive symptoms influence the MoCA Test performance, while gender does not.

RESUMO

Un total de 12 cestodos adultos se colectaron de los conductos biliares de ratones domésticos (Mus musculus) provenientes de Lima, Perú. Diversas características del escólex y proglotis maduros del cestodo fueron observadas para la identificación morfológica. Así mismo, se realizó un diagnóstico molecular mediante un PCR y secuenciación parcial del gen mitocondrial citocromo c oxidasa subunidad 1 (cox1). Todos los cestodos fueron identificados como Hymenolepis microstoma por morfología y métodos moleculares. El aislado de H. microstoma de Perú mostró una similitud de secuencia significativa (> 99%) con los aislados de H. microstoma previamente reportados. Nuestro informe confirma la presencia del parásito en ratones de Lima.


A total of 12 adult cestodes were collected from the bile ducts of domestic mice (Mus musculus) from Lima, Peru. Various features of the scolex and mature proglottids of the tapeworms were observed for morphological identification. A molecular diagnosis was performed by PCR-based partial sequencing of mitochondrial gene of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1). All cestodes were identified as Hymenolepis microstoma by morphology and molecular methods. The H. microstoma isolate from Peru showed significant sequence similarity with previously reported isolates of H. microstoma (>99%). Our report confirms the presence of the parasite in mice from Lima.

RESUMO

Objetivos: Debido al envejecimiento de la población, existe un incremento de personas mayores de 65 años que necesitan cuidados paliativos. El personal de enfermería está en contacto continuo con este tipo de pacientes. La satisfacción laboral y los distintos factores laborales pueden alterar la manera de llevar a cabo su trabajo, influyendo directamente sobre el paciente. El objetivo principal del estudio es observar si el grado de satisfacción laboral influye en el grado de estrés laboral del personal de enfermería que trabaja en unidades de cuidados paliativos con pacientes gerontológicos terminales. Metodología: Se autoadministró a 162 profesionales de enfermería de las unidades de cuidados paliativos del Servicio Público Gallego de Salud, del Servicio Canario de Salud y centros gerontológicos residenciales gallegos, un instrumento de evaluación constituido por un cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos y el Maslach Burnout Inventory, formado por tres dimensiones (cansancio emocional, despersonalización y realización personal reducida). Resultados: Al aumentar el grado de satisfacción laboral en el puesto de trabajo, existirá una reducción del cansancio emocional de los trabajadores. El hecho de disminuir el grado de satisfacción en relación con la capacidad de conciliación del trabajo con la vida familiar hace que el grado de cansancio emocional del trabajador se vea incrementado. Conclusiones: Existe cansancio emocional y despersonalización en el personal de enfermería de las unidades de cuidados paliativos que trabajan con pacientes gerontológicos terminales. Se ha creado un perfil laboral ideal para poder trabajar en estas unidades sin manifestar un grado de estrés laboral elevado (AU)


Objectives: Due to the aging population, there is an increase in people over 65 who need palliative care. The nursing staff is in continuous contact with these patients. Job satisfaction and laboral factors that surround the worker can alter the way of carrying out their work directly influencing the patient. The main objective of the study is to see if the degree of job satisfaction influences the degree of job stress of nurses working in palliative care units with geriatric patients terminals. Methodology: A questionnaire was administered to 162 nurses from the palliative care units of the Galician Public Health Service, the Canary Islands Health Service and Galician residential gerontology centers; an assessment instrument consists of a questionnaire of sociodemographic data and the Maslach Burnout Inventory, formed by three dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment). Results: By increasing the degree of job satisfaction in the workplace, there will be a reduction of emotional exhaustion workers. By decreasing the degree of satisfaction in relation to the ability of reconciling work and family life, it makes the degree of worker looks emotional exhaustion increased. Conclusions: emotional exhaustion and depersonalization exist in the nursing staff of the palliative care units working with geriatric terminal patients. It has created an ideal to work in these units without showing a high degree of work stress job profile (AU)

RESUMO

En esta investigación hemos intentado comprobar si la asistencia a los centros sociales de personas mayores es un medio eficaz para la mejora de la calidad de vida de las personas mayores, es decir, si los usuarios de dichos centros tienen una mejor calidad de vida que aquellos que no acuden a ellos. Para ello, hemos contado con un grupo experimental y un grupo control. A continuación ambos grupos han pasado dos pruebas: una que valora la calidad de vida y otra, el deterioro cognitivo. Una vez pasadas las pruebas y obtenidas las puntuaciones, hemos concluido que los usuarios del centro social tienen una mayor calidad de vida que los sujetos que no acuden a él


In this investigation we have tried to verify if the assistance to the community centers of major persons is an effective way for the improvement of the major persons's quality of life, that is to say, if the users of the above mentioned centers have a better quality of life that those that do not come to them. For it, we have possessed an experimental group and a group control. Later we have gone on to them to both groups two tests: one that values the quality of life and other one the cognitive deterioration. Once spent the tests and obtained the punctuations we have concluded that the users of the community center have a major quality of life that the subjects that do not come to it

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: El objetivo del presente artículo es la descripción del diagnóstico de la obstrucción infravesical en la mujer y el tratamiento de la estenosis uretral como causa de la misma.MÉTODO: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en la base de datos de Medline (PubMed) de los artículos publicados sobre el diagnóstico de la obstrucción infravesical en la mujer y el tratamiento de la estenosis uretral en el periodo 1989-2009.RESULTADOS: La prevalencia de obstrucción en la mujer varía en la literatura entre el 2,7 y el 23%. El patrón de referencia para su diagnóstico es el estudio videourodinámico. El 78% de las obstrucciones son de carácter funcional y sólo un 6,8 % son secundarias a la estenosis uretral. La estenosis afecta comúnmente al meato uretral y el tercio distal de la uretra, y la causa más frecuente es la iatrogénica, secundaria a cirugía de la incontinencia, dilataciones uretrales y la cateterización traumática. El tratamiento de la estenosis de uretra dependerá de la localización y longitud de la estenosis, la longitud de la uretra sana proximal, la integridad del cuello vesical y la coexistencia de incontinencia. El fracaso repetido de técnicas no invasivas y la presencia de defectos parciales o totales de uretra serán subsidiarias de técnicas de reconstrucción uretral mediante colgajos o injertos, aunque la técnica de elección es motivo de controversia.CONCLUSIÓN: El diagnóstico de la obstrucción infravesical en la mujer está limitado por la ausencia de parámetros urodinámicos claramente definidos. La estenosis uretral es una causa infrecuente de obstrucción cuyo tratamiento puede constituir un desafio terapéutico. La recidiva precoz de la estenosis debería ser motivo para considerar la reconstrucción quirúrgica precoz. Los colgajos vaginales constituyen la base de las reconstrucciones uretrales. La cicatrización vulvar extensa pueden hacer necesaria la utilización de injertos(AU)


OBJECTIVES: The objective of this article is to describe the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction in women and the treatment of urethral stricture as a cause thereofMETHOD: A bibliographic review was performed in the Medline (PubMed) data base on articles published on the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction in women and the treatment of urethral stricture in the 1989-2009 period.RESULTS: The prevalence of obstruction in women varies between 2.7% and 23% in the literature. The gold standard for diagnosis is the videourodynamic study. 78% of obstructions are functional, and only 6.8% are secondary to urethral stricture. Stricture commonly affects the urethral meatus and the distal third of the urethra, the most frequent cause being yatrogenic, secondary to surgery for incontinence, urethral dilations and traumatic catheterisation. The treatment of urethral stricture will depend on the location and length of the stricture, the length of the healthy proximal urethra, bladder neck integrity and the coexistence of incontinence. The repeat failure of non-invasive techniques and the presence of partial or total urethra defects will be subsidiary to urethral reconstruction techniques by means of flaps or grafts, although the technique of choice is still controversial.CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction in women is limited by the absence of clearly defined urodynamic parameters. Urethral stricture is an infrequent cause of obstruction, the treatment of which may constitute a therapeutic challenge. Early stricture relapse may constitute grounds for considering early surgical reconstruction. Vaginal flaps are the cornerstone of urethral reconstructions. Extensive vulvar scarring may require the use of grafts(AU)
