Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes con Gammapatía Monoclonal de Significado Incierto en el área de salud 6 de Valencia

L’objectiu del present estudi va ser estudiar a la població afecta de GMSI en l’àrea de salut 6 de València, així com la incidència de la mateixa. Es tracta d’un estudi descriptiu transversal retrospectiu observacional dels pacients amb aquesta patologia que van acudir al servei d’Hematologia de l’hospital de referència. Quant als resultats, encara que les dades analítiques i evolutives van ser similars a sèries anteriors (subtipus predominant IgG, 7.5% de progressió), el nombre de pacients i la incidència va ser menor de l'esperada, la qual cosa va restar pes estadístic a l'extrapolació dels resultats.

Análisis y diseño de un sistema de acreditación de competencias digitales a través de entidades locales

Desenvoluparem un Sistema d'Acreditació de Competències Digitals a través d'entitats locals. El sistema consisteix en una sèrie de proves que es realitzaran presencialment o a través d'una plataforma en línia, aquestes proves demostraran les competències digitals dels usuaris, es registraran de manera que es puguin explotar les dades obtingudes, conèixer la situació en què es troba la població atesa per poder emprendre iniciatives adequades i avaluar el funcionament del propi sistema. Per a registrar les dades emprarem una base de dades ja existent, aquesta base de dades registra les diferents iniciatives que es duen a terme per part de l'entitat local.

Entorno Colaborativo de Trabajo: La Intranet 2.0 de la Consejería de Salud de la Junta de Andalucía

The Department of Health of the Government of Andalusia provides professionals of the Andalusian Public Health Care System a collaborative working environment (Entorno colaborativo de trabajo [ECT]) based on the principles of web 2.0. The ECT is organized into communities, understood as sets of people with a common interest who share a space with its own information and collaboration tools. This space is managed and powered autonomously by the communities themselves. This paper analyzes the use and degree of implementation of the ECT, considering the user communities and activity statistics in 2009 and 2010. From the data obtained we deduce that instrumental services have easier acceptance than collaboration and knowledge management services; content generation is focused on a small number of users; and communities associated with organizational units have less development than those associated with work areas or projects.

Análisis del modelo salutogénico en España: aplicación en salud pública e implicaciones para el modelo de activos en salud

This article seeks to provide an in depth review about one of the most revolutionary and influential methods used in understanding the variables and processes that explain human health. Based on a new vision in the analysis of the consequences of theNazi Holocaust, a doctor-sociologist—Aaron Antonovsky— managed to influence medicine and behavioral science by facilitating the keys for the optimal development of public health today. Despite the fact that this theory began appearing in the1970s in the 20th century, its real development and expansion have been seen in recent years. In fact, in Spain, there is littlescientific literature that analyses the theoretic keys of the model in depth. This work seek to cover this gap; to achieve this objective, it first presents how the construct of salutogenesis arose, the social-cultural context that promoted it, as well as the importance public health acquires today. This is the aim of this work, which analyses the theoretical bases of the salutogenesis model,with specific emphasis on its background and precursors, aswell as its inception, development and current expansion

Morbilidad psíquica, existencia de diagnóstico y consumo de psicofármacos. Diferencias por comunidades autónomas según la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de 2006

Background: Most of the studies on sychological distress in Spain have been conducted in small geographical areas or specific population groups. However, there are no studies that provide representative data for each Autonomous Community (AC). The objectives of this paper are to determine, both in Spain and in the AC, the prevalence of psychological distress, diagnosis, use of psychoactive medication, social support and self-perceived health, as well as to study the association between psychological distress and the rest of the variables. Methods: Cross-sectional study, using data from the 2006 National Health Survey, that was completed by 29,478 persons. Variables studied: sociodemographics, psychological distress (GHQ-12), self-perceived health, mental disorder diagnosis, functional social support (Duke) and use and prescription of psychoactive medication. Results: The prevalence of psychological distress in Spain was 20,1%; the highest prevalence was found in Canary Islands (28,2%) and the lowest in La Rioja (12,2%). Among those who presented psychological distress, 62,4% had never received a mental disorder diagnosis, and 71,6% had not used psychoactive medication in the last year. The highest prevalences of non-diagnosed cases (81,8%) and cases non-treated with psychoactive medication (83,1%) were found in La Rioja, whereas the lowest prevalences were found in Asturias. Eight percent of the persons who presented psychological distress had low social support and 63,8% reported bad self-perceived health. Conclusions: Psychological distress is a prevalent phenomenon, and more than half of the persons who suffer it receive neither a diagnosis nor psychoactive medication. Moreover, there are considerable differences between the AC.

Guía metodológica para la elaboración de planes de igualdad en entidades del Sistema Sanitario Público de Andalucía (SSPA)

Currently equality plans are an effective tool to incorporate equal opportunities in human resource management of both companies and public administrations. They are also the appropriate mechanism to detect possible disparities and gender gaps in employment. Configured as an ordered set of actions and measures taken after a diagnosis of the situation and help organizations to promote equal treatment and opportunities between women and men in the workplace, and help eliminate discrimination based on sex. In this regard, the Directorate General of Health Planning and Innovation of the Ministry of Health, intends to promote and facilitate the development and implementation of equality plans in institutions and centers of the Andalusian Public Health System. This has raised the production and dissemination of a methodological guide that supports the design of equality plans in unison to allow both the completion of the monitoring process as the development and practical implementation of those plans.

¿Qué información sobre salud esconde Internet? Un análisis cualitativo de su contenido

L'acostament entre el professional de la salut i el qui necessita els seus serveis és un tema d'interès per a la psicologia de la salut des que va començar com a disciplina. En el context de la societat de la informació i el coneixement apareix un nou escenari d'intervenció d'aquests dos col·lectius que és necessari conèixer. Per això s'han començat diferents propostes, però la que presenta el grup d'investigació de Psicologia de la Salut i Xarxa (PSINET) de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya s'encamina a potenciar la creació d'espais virtuals de trobada entre ambdós col·lectius (professionals de la salut i usuaris de serveis de salut). L'establiment de plataformes digitals de serveis sanitaris per als ciutadans del segle XXI passa primer per conèixer la realitat dels diferents col·lectius implicats en la relació salut i xarxa. L'objectiu que es planteja en aquest estudi se centra en el primer col·lectiu i en el descobriment del que hi ha sobre salut a Internet. Per a això, seguint una metodologia de recerca exhaustiva per Internet, s'han recollit webs sobre salut en català i castellà, i s'ha fet una anàlisi de dades textuals de la informació que contenien els webs en català. Aquesta anàlisi ha permès conèixer i descriure el prototip de web sobre salut que hi ha a la xarxa en el moment de fer l'estudi.

Genetic polymorphisms of RANTES, IL1-A, MCP-1 and TNF-A genes in patients with prostate cancer

BACKGROUND Inflammation has been implicated as an etiological factor in several human cancers, including prostate cancer. Allelic variants of the genes involved in inflammatory pathways are logical candidates as genetic determinants of prostate cancer risk. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms of genes that lead to increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines are associated with an increased prostate cancer risk. METHODS A case-control study design was used to test the association between prostate cancer risk and the polymorphisms TNF-A-308 A/G (rs 1800629), RANTES-403 G/A (rs 2107538), IL1-A-889 C/T (rs 1800587) and MCP-1 2518 G/A (rs 1024611) in 296 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and in 311 healthy controls from the same area. RESULTS Diagnosis of prostate cancer was significantly associated with TNF-A GA + AA genotype (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.09-2.64) and RANTES GA + AA genotype (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.09-2.38). A alleles in TNF-A and RANTES influenced prostate cancer susceptibility and acted independently of each other in these subjects. No epistatic effect was found for the combination of different polymorphisms studied. Finally, no overall association was found between prostate cancer risk and IL1-A or MCP-1 polymorphisms. CONCLUSION Our results and previously published findings on genes associated with innate immunity support the hypothesis that polymorphisms in proinflammatory genes may be important in prostate cancer development.
