Escalada deportiva en mini muro artificial : Estudio comparativo en la formación del Profesorado en Educación Física CRUB-UNCO

Para analizar el proceso de aprendizaje de los estudiantes en escalada se diseñó una práctica de escalada en muro (sistema abierto estilo americano) a través de un estudio comparativo entre estudiantes de dos asignaturas correlativas (Deportes Regionales Estivales 1 y 2). El objetivo es conocer la forma de resolución de problemas corporales y motrices en la escalada en el marco del mini muro como dispositivo de enseñanza. Se realizó a mitad del año académico en cada asignatura y para ello se elaboró una planilla de cotejo para registrar y comparar los resultados alcanzados. Se realizó un procesamiento cuantitativo sobre la cantidad de problemas resueltos por grupo. Se trabajó con enfoque cuali-cuantitativo para analizar las formas de resolución de los problemas motrices de los estudiantes. Se observa que los estudiantes de DRE 2 resuelven mayor cantidad de problemas en el muro que los estudiantes de DRE 1. La hipótesis que se sostiene tiene que ver con que los estudiantes más avanzados disponen de una mayor experiencia traducida en inteligencia motriz o disponibilidad corporal y motriz, que los estudiantes de la asignatura previa.

The LFA-1-associated molecule PTA-1 (CD226) on T cells forms a dynamic molecular complex with protein 4.1G and human discs large

Clustering of the T cell integrin, LFA-1, at specialized regions of intercellular contact initiates integrin-mediated adhesion and downstream signaling, events that are necessary for a successful immunological response. But how clustering is achieved and sustained is not known. Here we establish that an LFA-1-associated molecule, PTA-1, is localized to membrane rafts and binds the carboxyl-terminal domain of isoforms of the actin-binding protein 4.1G. Protein 4.1 is known to associate with the membrane-associated guanylate kinase homologue, human discs large. We show that the carboxyl-terminal peptide of PTA-1 also can bind human discs large and that the presence or absence of this peptide greatly influences binding between PTA-1 and different isoforms of 4.1G. T cell stimulation with phorbol ester or PTA-1 cross-linking induces PTA-1 and 4.1G to associate tightly with the cytoskeleton, and the PTA-1 from such activated cells now can bind to the amino-terminal region of 4.1G. We propose that these dynamic associations provide the structural basis for a regulated molecular adhesive complex that serves to cluster and transport LFA-1 and associated molecules.

Objective and behavioural assessment of the emergence from post-traumatic amnesia (PTA)

Primary objective: To determine the profile of resolution of typical PTA behaviours and describe new learning and improvements in self-care during PTA. Research design: Prospective longitudinal study monitoring PTA status, functional learning and behaviours on a daily basis. Methods and procedures: Participants were 69 inpatients with traumatic brain injury who were in PTA. PTA was assessed using the Westmead or Oxford PTA assessments. Functional learning capability was assessed using a routine set of daily tasks and behaviour was assessed using an observational checklist. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics. Main outcomes and results: Challenging behaviours that are typically associated with PTA, such as agitation, aggression and wandering resolved in the early stages of PTA and incidence rates of these behaviours were less than 20%. Independence in self-care and bowel and bladder continence emerged later during resolution of PTA. New learning in functional situations was demonstrated by patients in PTA. Conclusions: It is feasible to begin active rehabilitation focused on functional skills-based learning with patients in the later stages of PTA. Formal assessment of typically observed behaviours during PTA may complement memory-based PTA assessments in determining emergence from PTA.

Enhancing Life in the Hyper-surveillance Mini-world of a Space Station: The Role of Situation Awareness, Communication, and Reality TV in the Life of Astronauts

This is the third article of a series entitled Astronauts as Audiences. In this article, we investigate the roles that situation awareness (SA), communications, and reality TV (including media communications) might have on the lives of astronauts in remote space communities. We examined primary data about astronauts’ living and working environments, applicable theories of SA, communications, and reality TV (including media communications). We then surmised that the collective application of these roles might be a means of enhancing the lives of astronauts in remote space communities.

Mini-dose glucagon rescue for mild hypoglycaemia in children with type 1 diabetes: The Brisbane experience

Objectives: To evaluate the use of small doses of glucagon using an insulin syringe in mild or impending hypoglycaemia in children with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Data were collected from patients attending the Paediatric Diabetes Clinic at the Queensland Diabetes Centre at the Mater Hospital, Brisbane in 2002-2004 following the institution of a new protocol for home management of mild or impending hypoglycaemia associated with inability or refusal to take oral carbohydrate. The protocol recommended the use of subcutaneous injections of glucagon using insulin syringes at a dose of two ' units ' (20 mu g) in children 2 years of age or younger, and for older children one unit per year of age up to a maximum of 15 units (150 mu g), with an additional doubled dose given if the blood glucose had not increased in 20 min. Results: Over a 2-year period, 25 children were treated with mini-dose glucagon on a total of 38 occasions. Additional doses were required for recurring hypoglycaemia on 20 (53%) occasions. The child could be managed at home on 32 (84%) of these 38 occasions, with only 6 (16%) children needing hospital treatment. Conclusions: Our study confirmed that small doses of glucagon given subcutaneously with an insulin syringe is a simple, practical and effective home treatment of mild or impending hypoglycaemia due to gastroenteritis or food refusal in children with type 1 diabetes.

PÊNDULO ANCORADO EM MINI-IMPLANTES: AVALIAÇÃO DENTÁRIA E ESQUELÉTICA

O aparelho Pêndulo é eficaz na correção das más oclusões de Classe II, com comprometimento dentoalveolar superior. No entanto, a perda de ancoragem caracterizada pela mesialização dos pré-molares superiores, e pela vestibularização e protrusão dos incisivos superiores, constitui um grave efeito colateral deste dispositivo. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as possíveis alterações dentárias e esquelética, sagitais e verticais, decorrentes do uso do Pêndulo modificado, ancorado em mini-implantes. Dez indivíduos foram tratados neste estudo, sendo que telerradiografias em norma lateral foram realizadas no início do tratamento, e imediatamente após a remoção do Pêndulo. Em cada indivíduo foram instalados dois mini-implantes no palato, que receberam carga imediata por meio da ativação do Pêndulo modificado, apoiado nestes dispositivos de ancoragem temporária. Nenhum dos dentes avaliados apresentou alterações verticais estatisticamente significantes; o mesmo ocorreu para as alterações esqueléticas verticais e sagitais, e para o trespasse vertical e horizontal. Com relação às alterações estatisticamente significantes, o primeiro molar superior moveu-se para distal aproximadamente 5,6mm em 6,2 meses, e com inclinação distal média de 7,100. Os segundos pré-molares superiores distalizaram em média 2,7mm e inclinaram 5,550; já os segundos molares superiores moveram-se em média 4,6mm para distal com uma inclinação de 13,700; valores estes também considerados estatisticamente significantes. O sistema de distalização de molares superiores, composto pelo Pêndulo modificado ancorado em mini-implantes, mostrou-se eficaz na correção da má oclusão de Classe II, sem produzir os efeitos de perda de ancoragem.

PÊNDULO ANCORADO EM MINI-IMPLANTES - ANÁLISE EM MODELOS DIGITAIS

A distalização dos molares superiores é uma opção de tratamento da má oclusão de Classe II, quando o envolvimento é principalmente dentoalveolar. Dispositivos intrabucais como o aparelho Pêndulo, dispensam a colaboração do paciente quanto ao uso, porém promovem efeitos muitas vezes indesejáveis como a vestibularização dos dentes anteriores que participam na ancoragem e a inclinação dos molares distalizados. Após o surgimento dos Dispositivos de Ancoragem Temporária (DATs), como o mini-implante pode-se alcançar a ancoragem de forma previsível e eficiente. Com isto, por meio de um estudo prospectivo, foram avaliadas as alterações dentárias, promovidas pela distalização de molares superiores com um aparelho Pêndulo modificado, apoiado em dois mini-implantes instalados no palato de 10 indivíduos, sendo 2 do sexo feminino e 8 do masculino, com média de idade de 14,3 anos. A amostra foi composta por 20 modelos digitalizados em 3D, obtidos de em duas fases: no início do tratamento (T1) e após distalização com sobrecorreção de 1 mm (T2), permitindo quantificar as alterações dentárias sagitais, transversais e possíveis movimentos de rotação, angulação e movimentos verticais. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que no sentido sagital, houve uma efetiva distalização com significância estatística, para os segundos molares superiores; primeiros molares superiores em média de 4,34 mm e 3,91mm para o lado direito e esquerdo, respectivamente, e para os segundos pré-molares do lado direito e esquerdo de 2,06 mm e 1,95 mm, respectivamente. Porém, para os dentes anteriores, foi constatada a perda de ancoragem. No sentido transversal, o maior aumento ocorreu na região dos dentes posteriores. Os movimentos de rotação, angulação e vertical dos primeiros molares superiores, indicam que houve rotação mesiovestibular e inclinação distal das coroas destes dentes de ambos os lados; as medidas verticais, demonstram que houve movimento significativo apenas para o primeiro molar direito, com inclinação distal pela intrusão da cúspide distal. Este dispositivo mostrou-se eficaz na correção da Classe II em um tempo médio de 6,2 meses.(AU)

Understanding mobile phone usage while driving:mini-bus and taxi drivers' experiences in Istanbul

In emerging markets, the amount of mobile communication and the number of occasions mobile phones are used are increasing. More and more settings appropriate or not for mobile phone usage are being exposed. Although prohibited by many governments, there is evidence that use of new mobile devices while driving are somehow becoming current everyday practice, hence legitimatizing usage for many users. Dominant dangerous behavior in the absence of enforced legal framework is being deployed and has become routine for many m-users. This chapter adopts a qualitative case study approach (20 cases) to examine the public transport drivers' motives, logic and legitimacy processes. The question which these issues raise in the light of advancing m-technologies is: How do, in the context of emerging market, undesired emerging routines enactment get to be reflected upon and voluntarily disregarded to maximize the benefits of m-technologies while minimizing their drawbacks? Findings point out at multiple motives for usage including external social pressure through the ubiquitous 24/7 usage of mtechnology, lack of alternative communication protocol, real time need for action and from an internal perspectives boredoms, lack of danger awareness, blurring of the boundaries between personal and business life and lack of job fulfillment are uncovered as key factors. As secondary dynamic factors such as education, drivers work' histories, impunity, lack of strong consumer opposition appear central in shaping the development of the routines. © 2011, IGI Global.

Fitting an MSD (Mini Scleral Design) rigid contact lens in advanced keratoconus with INTACS

Keratoconus is a bilateral degenerative disease characterized by a non-inflammatory, progressive central corneal ectasia (typically asymmetric) and decreased vision. In its early stages it may be managed with spectacles and soft contact lenses but more commonly it is managed with rigid contact lenses. In advanced stages, when contact lenses can no longer be fit, have become intolerable, or corneal damage is severe, a penetrating keratoplasty is commonly performed. Alternative surgical techniques, such as the use of intra-stromal corneal ring segments (INTACS) have been developed to try and improve the fit of rigid contact lenses in keratoconic patients and avoid penetrating keratoplasties. This case report follows through the fitting of rigid contact lenses in an advanced keratoconic cornea after an INTACS procedure and discusses clinical findings, treatment options, and the use of mini-scleral and scleral lens designs as they relate to the challenges encountered in managing such a patient. Mini-scleral and scleral lenses are relatively easy to fit, and can be of benefit to many patients, including advanced keratoconic patients, post-INTAC patients and post-penetrating keratoplasty patients. © 2011 British Contact Lens Association.
