The construction of infant and primary school teachers’ identity during their initial professional development and first years of work (Identidoc). Summary, main results and contributions

Educators who are currently beginning their professional career at any level of the educationalsystem and who will likely have to work during the next thirty to forty years will be takingpart in the education of individuals who, with the permission of prophets and doomsayers,will live part of their lives in the 22nd century. That long but simple statement causes a bit ofvertigo as well as a good amount of reflection on the part of we educators who were trainedin the 20th century, are working in the 21st century, and are responsible for preparing peopleto build a tomorrow that is already today (Millán and Sancho, 1995). This is the starting pointof our research groups’ interest in exploring how men and women who have graduated fromteacher education programs with specializations in infant and primary education learn to beteachers, and how they establish and position themselves as teachers during their university studies and the first years of their professional life...

La construcción de la identidad docente del profesorado de educación infantil y primaria en la formación inicial y los primeros años de trabajo (Identidoc). Síntesis y principales resultados y contribuciones

Los docentes de los distintos ciclos del sistema educativo que están comenzando su vida profesional,si permanecen en esta actividad, trabajarán durante los próximos treinta o cuarentaaños con personas que vivirán parte de su vida en el siglo XXII. Este hecho constituye un puntode reflexión para los educadores quienes recibimos nuestra formación básica en el sigloXX, estamos desarrollando nuestro trabajo en el XXI, y tenemos la responsabilidad de preparara individuos para que puedan construir un mañana que ya es hoy (Millán y Sancho, 1995).Aquí comienza el interés de nuestros grupos de investigación por explorar cómo los hombresy las mujeres que han salido en los últimos años de las facultades de formación del profesorado,con las especialidades de educación infantil y primaria, aprenden a ser docentes. Cómose han ido constituyendo y posicionando como maestros y maestras durante la formación inicial y los primeros años de su vida profesional...

Cirugía del condroma ungueal

Al hablar de cirugía en podología, instintivamente, la mayoría de nosotros pensamos en la cirugía ungueal, en la tenocapsular de los dedos o en el papiloma vírico, pero raras veces nos relacionamos con la cirugía tumoral benigna. Hoy expondremos una técnica para la extirpación del 'Condroma subungueal'

Inappropriate prescribing to the oldest old patients admitted to hospital: prevalence, most frequently used medicines, and associated factors

Background: Scientific evidence on treatments of chronic diseases in patients 85 years old or older is very limited, as is available information on inappropriate prescription (IP) and its associated factors. The study aimed to describe medicine prescription, potentially inappropriate medicines (PIM) and potentially prescribing omissions (PPO) and their associated factors on this population. Methods: In the context of an observational, prospective and multicentric study carried out in elderly patients admitted to seven Spanish hospitals for a year, a sub-analysis of those aged 85 years and over was performed. To assess PIMs, the Beers and STOPP criteria were used, and to assess PPOs, the START and the ACOVE-3 criteria were used. To assess factors associated with IP, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Patients were selected randomly every week on consecutive days from the hospitalization lists. Results: A total of 336 patients were included in the sub-analysis with a median (Q1-Q3) age of 88 (8690) years. The median medicines taken during the month prior to admission was 10 (713). Forty-seven point two per cent of patients had at least one Beers-listed PIM, 63.3% at least one STOPP-listed PIM, 53.6% at least one START-listed PPO, and 59.4% at least one ACOVE-3-listed PPO. Use of benzodiazepines in patients who are prone to falls (18.3%) and omission of calcium and vitamin D supplements in patients with osteoporosis (13.3%) were the most common PIM and PPO, respectively. The main factor associated with the Beers-listed and the STOPP-listed PIM was consumption of 10 or more medicines (OR = 5.7, 95% CI 1.8-17.9 and OR = 13.4, 95% CI 4.0-44.0, respectively). The main factors associated with the START-listed PPO was a non-community dwelling origin (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.0-5.0), and multimorbidity (OR1.8, 95% CI 1.0-3.1). Conclusions: Prescribed medicines and PIM and PPO prevalence were high among patients 85 years and over. Benzodiazepine use in those who are prone to falls and omission of calcium and vitamin D in those with osteoporosis were the most frequent PIM and PPO, respectively. Factors associated with PIM and PPO differed with polypharmacy being the most important factor associated with PIM.
