Also known as ferroxidase ceruloplasmin, belongs to the family of inflammation-sensitive proteins, and its main function to transport copper in the blood. Although, in addition to this transport function, at present, there are numerous studies that have attempted to use the determination of serum concentrations as a predictive indicator of cardiovascular risk in patients who are overweight or obese. The results of this study confirm the existence of a significant correlation between serum ceruloplasmin and nutritional status of the subjects, which means that for the population of students assessed, serum levels of this protein are an important predictor the risk of cardiovascular disease.

This article revises the concepts of prebiotics, probiotics and symbiotics, and their use in different situations of daily clinical practice. With a high level of evidence, it is concluded that the use of certain strains of probiotics significantly reduces the risk for antibiotic-induced diarrhea. Although further studies are needed, the use of probiotics, prebiotics, and symbiotics in people suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (particularly ulcerative colitis, and pouchitis) might improve the rates of remission induction/maintenance. The administration of probiotics and symbiotics to patients with liver transplant, severe acute pancreatitis, and intensive and surgical care patients, emerges as a promising therapeutic option that seems to reduce the number of infections; however, it is currently no possible to establish evidence-based recommendations, with a need for a higher number of better designed works. About safety of probiotics and symbiotics, the benefits/risks ratio clearly favors the former since the risk for infection is low, even in immunosuppressed patients. There are, however, selected groups of patients in which caution is advised.

L'autor exposa el treball de camp dut a terme durant més de cent hores de pràctiques en un centre de salut mental, CSAM de Manresa. S'inicia amb una visió general del centre, la seva història i els seus òrgans de funcionament. Es fa una petita exposició dels motius de l'elecció per part de l'alumne, l'orientació teòrica del centre, així com la metodologia utilitzada i la temporalització amb la qual s'ha dut a terme la tasca i, finalment, un seguiment i alguns resultats obtinguts de les sessions que s'han dut a terme en les àrees infanto-juvenil i d'addicció i control d'impulsos en adults. Acaba el treball amb una reflexió per als futurs estudiants de psicologia, en l'àrea clínica: Lluiteu, lluitem tots junts "por un prácticum clínico que no convierta a los estudiantes de psicología en pedigüeños de las prácticas y los coloquen en la zozobra inquieta que les lleve a un peregrinaje absurdo por diversos centros públicos o privados, a la búsqueda de algún paciente al que puedan simplemente observar" (De Josep Mª Farré, Psiquiatre de l'Institut Dexeus, en el llibre de María Dolores Avia (dir), "Cartas a un joven psicólogo", en la seva segonda edició).

An update of the levels of scientific evidence stating the varying degrees of recommendation for asymptomatic patients, indicating which procedures are most appropriate and what should be avoided all the systems described, we seek one that meets the principle of simplicity and utility. We chose for our setting the valuation of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, Oxford (OCEBM). This classification has the advantage that assures us the knowledge on each scenario, its high degree of specialization. It also has the prerogative to clarify how it affects the lack of methodological rigor to the study design, reducing its assessment not only in the grading of the evidence, but also on the strength of recommendations.

We carried out a descriptive, retrospective study with a sample side of 121 patients with Legión® prosthesis replacement in our Vírgen del Rocío hospital area, in the city of Seville, from May of 2008 until March of 2011. This study included epidemiological data as well as technical information about the process performed, including post-operative pain, mobility and functional results using a functional assessment scale and series of radiological studies. Average follow-up was 19 months, with a mean age of 71 years and 87% women. We obtained an average of 20.41º for articular balance obtained, correction of prior deformities by restoring the tibia-femoral axis to the anatomic e balance articular angle; we resolved bone loss prior to replacement and carried out an adequate balance of the inter-lineal joint. 66% of the patients continued with no post-operative pain, with the other 33% reporting slight to moderate pain. With regards to pain at the point of the stem, we have found no significant relationship with the incidence angle of the stem on the cortical or with the type of cement. We observed a 74% rate of intervention without complications, with complications being rupture of the patellar tendon in one patient, one case of peri-prosthesis fracture, two iatrogenic avulsion fractures of the anterior tibial tuberosity and seven infections (4 were diagnosed previously).

Introducció: Les noves tecnologies han donat peu a la creació de propostes docents que es desenvolupen a través d’internet . Objectius: Avaluar quatre cursos de formació virtual realitzats a la Fundació Institut Català de Farmacologia per analitzat-ne l’activitat i la qualitat. Metodologia: S’ha mesurat el registre de participació dels alumnes mitjançant l’accés als materials i activitats proposades, i la qualitat de la formació mitjançant una enquesta de satisfacció. Resultats: La proporció de realització d’activitats ha estat notable i la qualitat dels cursos ben valorada. Conclusió: La bona valoració rebuda mostra la qualitat dels cursos realitzats i avala les nostres propostes pedagògiques.

BACKGROUND Job satisfaction of nurses is a determinant factor in the quality and organizational adaptation of clinical management models in the current socio-economic context. The aim of this study was to construct and validate a questionnaire to measure job satisfaction of nurses in the Clinical Management Units in the Andalusian Public Health System. METHODS Clinimetric and cross-sectional study with a sample of 314 nurses of two university hospitals from Seville. Nurses were surveyed in 2011, from March to June. We used the Font Roja questionnaire adapted to our study variables. We performed analyses of correlations, reliability and construct validity, using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the a priori model. RESULTS The end questionnaire consists of 10 items, whose internal consistency was 0.75, with a percentage of variance explaining of 63.67%. CFA confirmed 4 dimensions (work environment, work relationships, motivation, and recognition): significant χ2 (p < .001); χ2/gl = 2.013; GFI= 0.958, RMR = 0.055 y RMSEA = 0.057; AGFI = 0.927, NFI = 0.878, TLI = 0.902, CFI =0.933 e IFI = 0.935; AIC = 132.486 y ECVI = 0.423. CONCLUSION This new questionnaire (G_Clinic) improves clinimetric values of the Font Roja questionnaire, because it reduces the number of items, improves the reliability of the dimensions, increases the value of variance explained, and allows knowing job satisfaction of nurses in clinical managementt.

: Para estudiar la historia natural del ictus isquémico por oclusión de gran vaso de la circulación anterior se seleccionó una muestra prospectiva de pacientes con ictus agudo que no recibieron terapias de reperfusión en los que se confirmó una oclusión de gran vaso de la circulación anterior mediante Dúplex transcraneal. El 74% de los pacientes tuvo mal pronóstico. Los pacientes con oclusión de la a.carótida interna terminal y de la a.cerebral media proximal tuvieron peor pronóstico funcional y mayor porcentaje de mortalidad a los tres meses que los pacientes con oclusión de la a.cerebral media distal.
