Debido a la gran cantidad de muestras arqueológicas impregnadas con PEG que se encuentran contaminadas por compuestos insolubles de hierro, se plantea la posible extracción y formación de complejos Fe-L (L=PBTC) y sus efectos en (i) la estructura de la matriz orgánica, (ii) la estructura y propiedades físicas del PEG y (iii) el comportamiento de la muestra en la etapa posterior de almacenamiento. El proyecto analiza la formación de compuestos químicos y posibles modificaciones estructurales en el proceso de extracción del hierro. Consiste en un estudio sistemático de un sistema químico y su influencia en los procesos de precipitación de Fe3+ en medio acuoso. El proyecto se fundamenta en: (1) desarrollar un proceso experimental de optimización para la extracción de las sales contaminantes y (2) encontrar las técnicas analíticas óptimas que permitan apreciar modificaciones estructurales de los diferentes sistemas. Se determina la cantidad de hierro extraído mediante A.A. Las interacciones entre PBTC y PEG se analizan por IR. Las modificaciones de determinadas propiedades físicas se determinan por DSC y las estructurales mediante SEM. En las condiciones termodinámicas óptimas se obtiene una extracción superficial del hierro (30-35%). La disolución del PEG origina modificaciones de la masa y el volumen de la muestra

Title: Are suitable general clinic criteria for defining hypothyroidism in people with Down syndrome? Studies on the prevalence of thyroid disorders in people with Down syndrome (DS) show a wide dispersion of results. However, most of these studies agree in indicating a greater frequency than in the general population. The cause of these differences may depend on the method of sample selection. In this work we studied a healthy population of adolescents with DS of the Association of Málaga, selected randomly and regardless of the medical care. Mean TSH distribution, used here as a tool to define the biochemical thyroid function of the studied DS population, was two standard deviation higher than the mean for the general population. These data show that in terms of TSH the DS population is a distinct population with respect to the general population. This clearly indicates that it would be necessary to identify and define new criteria to establish what is normal, subclinical hypothyroidism, borderline or pathological, and to propose new treatment guide.

Introduction: The quality of life assessment means investigating how patients perceive their disease. Malnutrition-specific characteristics make patients more vulnerable, so it is important to know how these factors impaction patients’ daily life. Aim: To assess the quality of life in malnourished patients who have had hospital admission, and to determine the relationship of the quality of life with age, body mass index, diagnosis of malnutrition, and dependency. Method: Multicenter transversal descriptive study in 106 malnourished patients after hospital admission. The quality of life (SF-12 questionnaire), BMI, functional independency (Barthel index), morbidity, and a dietary intake evaluation were assessed. The relationship between variables was tested by using the Spearman correlation coefficient Results: The patients of the present study showed a SF-12 mean of 38.32 points. The age was significantly correlated with the SF-12 (r= -0.320, p= 0.001). The BMI was correlated with the SF-12 (r= 0.251, p= 0.011) and its mental component (r= 0.289, p= 0.03). It was also reported a significant correlation between the Barthel index and the SF-12 (r= 0.370, p< 0.001). Conclusions: The general health perception in malnourished patients who have had a hospital admission was lower than the Spanish mean. Moreover, the quality of life in these patients is significantly correlated with age, BMI and functional independency.

The impact of the social support and the psychic morbidity on the quality of life of patients with antiretroviral therapy. The aim of this study is to analyse the existing relation between the psychic morbidity and social support and the quality of life. Besides this, the paper analyses the buffer rol that social support plays on the psychic morbidity in these patients. We studied 320 HIV+ patients in truatment with antiretrovirals, who attended the infectious disease services of four hospitals of the Autonomous Andalusian Community. Being associated a better quality of life to an absence of psychic morbidity and to the presence of social support, it is observed the relevant buffer role that the social support like shock absorber of the psychic morbidity in this one type of patients. These results show the importance that the psycho-social factors have during the course of chronic diseases.

Hasta el 2005 no hubo demasiados avances, más allá de los constantes contactos que han ido manteniendo las Conferencias Ministeriales UE-África y la elaboración de una Comunicación por parte de la Comisión al respecto de dicho diálogo. Dicha Comunicación pretendía atenuar los efectos de la anulación de la Cumbre sobre el recién nacido diálogo político, ofreciendo una imagen de continuidad, así como analizar los avances del diálogo en los ocho temas prioritarios establecidos por el Plan de El Cairo. De entre estos temas destacaba, dentro del apartado dedicado a la integración regional, el inicio de las negociaciones sobre los polémicos Acuerdos de Asociación Económica (AAE) entre la UE y las diversas agrupaciones regionales de los países ACP (unos acuerdos que entrarán en vigor a partir del 2008 y que han suscitado críticas por parte de algunos sectores en base a los perniciosos efectos para las economías africanas que puede conllevar la liberalización comercial total con Europa).

BACKGROUND The use of remote follow-up (RF) of people with pacemakers (PM) is limited in comparison to the hospital modality (HS), being still poor the scientific evidence that shows their comparative effectiveness. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life in individuals with different modalities of follow-up. METHODS Controlled, not randomized nor masked clinical trial, with data collection at pre and post-implantation of pacemakers during the 6 months follow-up. All patients over 18 years-old who were implanted a PM during the study period were selected (n = 83), and they were assigned to RF (n = 30) or HF (n = 53) groups according to their personal characteristics and patient's preferences. Baseline characteristics and number of visits to the hospital were analysed, the EuroQol-5D (EQ5D) questionnaire was administered to evaluate the health-related quality of life, and Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) to assess the functional capacity. RESULTS There were no significant differences between both groups in relation to the baseline analysis, EQ5D (RF:0.7299; HF:0.6769) and DASI (RF:21.41; HF:19.99). At 6 months the quality of life was improved in both groups (EQ5D RF:0.8613; HF:0.8175; p = 0,439) still without significant differences between them. DASI score was similar to baseline (20.51 vs 21.80). RF group performed less transmissions/visits per patient (1.57) than hospital group (1.96; relative reduction 31%; p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS Remote follow-up of people with pacemakers might be considered as an equivalent option to the hospital follow-up in relation to the quality of life and it reduces the number of hospital visits.

Cystatin C is considered the most important physiological inhibitor of endogenous cysteine proteases; the role of cystatin C is believed to be to modulate the activity of proteases secreted or released from damaged cells or in the process of necrosis, therefore cystatins being fundamental regulatory processes and a potential prevention of local proteolytic damage. Antiphospholipid antibodies are used to clarify the diagnosis of diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and other pathologies could present similar symptoms or paraclinical findings. The objective of the present work is to analyze the concentration of cystatin C and the presence or absence of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) as markers of demyelization. This work was carried out jointly by the Vascular Risk Laboratory, the Laboratory of Autoimmunity and Multiple Sclerosis Unit, Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena in Seville in one year. Two types of people were selected: Group 1 (n = 30) RRMS group and a control group, n = 30. Cystatin C and antiphospholipid antibodies IgG and IgM, IgG and IgM anticardiolipin, β2 glycoprotein IgG and IgM were determined. Patients showed negative titers of antiphospholipid antibodies IgG and IgM, IgG and IgM anticardiolipin, β2 glycoprotein IgG and IgM. Cystatin C concentration is lower in the group of patients diagnosed with MS, which could give rise to a decrease in the modulation of endogenous cysteine proteases. This would exacerbate the progress of demyelization in MS.

Multiple sclerosis is an infammatory demyelinating autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. The aim of the study was to quantify lym-phocyte subpopulations in cerebrospinal fuid and blood of patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and in patients whit degenerative diseases not (control) in order to fnd some relationships between them that make it possible to differentiate the immune status of patients in each group. This work was jointly carried out with Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena in Seville during 2008, 2009 and 2010. It is a descriptive, transversal and cohort study. The selected population is composed of 142 subjects who were subjected to lumbar puncture and a blood sample. Group 1 (n=70), control, Group 2 (n=53), patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, Group 3 (n=5), patients with primary type progressive multiple sclerosis, and Group 4 (n=14) patients with isolated neurological syndrome. The results show an increase in CSF B cells in MS patients suggesting an increase in focal infammatory activity in the CNS. Regarding NKCD8, reduced total levels of NK and NKCD8 regard-ing controls were observed, and it showed an increased IgG index value in patients with RRMS.

Se examinan los comportamientos anticonceptivos de 225 jóvenes universitarios (22'7% hombres y 77'3% mujeres) con el objetivo de conocer su eficacia para evitar embarazos no deseados, SIDA y otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual (ETS). Se recogió información sobre los diferentes métodos anticonceptivos empleados por los sujetos con su última pareja, sin establecer ningún límite temporal. La mitad de los estudiantes no habían tenido nunca relaciones sexuales completas. La mitad de las conductas heterosexuales de los jóvenes sexualmente activos fueron adecuadas para protegerse frente al SIDA, otras ETS y embarazos no deseados (usar siempre preservativo); un tercio de las conductas únicamente eran útiles para evitar embarazos (píldora anticonceptiva) y las restantes (usar ocasionalmente el preservativo o el coitus interruptus ) les pusieron en riesgo frente a los tres problemas. Además, conforme se eleva la edad o el número de parejas de los estudiantes, es más frecuente el uso de píldoras anticonceptivas y menos probable el empleo de preservativo. Estos resultados sugieren que los estudiantes sexualmente activos están más interesados en la prevención de los embarazos no deseados que en evitar infectarse con el SIDA u otras ETS, por lo que seria conveniente promocionar entre ellos el uso del preservativo como método anticonceptivo, destacando sus ventajas frente a la píldora
