RESUMO
Introducción: según estudios previos en México señalan que la esperanza de vida era de 75.5 años y de acuerdo con nuevos datos, se estima que esta aumentara a 77.8 años para 2030¹, por lo cual es necesario fortalecer y fomentar el autocuidado en el adulto mayor, mediante el apoyo educativo, debido a la pandemia a través del uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TICs) con la finalidad de aumentar su nivel de calidad de vida. Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de calidad de vida de los adultos mayores del Valle del Mezquital antes y después del apoyo educativo para fomentar el autocuidado mediante el uso de las TICs. Material y métodos: investigación cuantitativa, nivel de alcance exploratorio, con un diseño metodológico experimental, prolectivo longitudinal prospectivo. Se ocupó la prueba estadística paramétrica t de student. Resultados: de acuerdo al instrumento WHOQOL-BREF preintervención se obtuvo que el 80% de la población reflejo una calidad de vida media, posterior a un mes de intervención 67 % de la población reflejo calidad de vida alta, de acuerdo con la prueba estadística t se obtuvo una significan la bilateral de .041 posterior a la intervención. Conclusiones: la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores mejoró gracias a las intervenciones educativas ofrecidas médiate las TICs logrando así una nueva estrategia de acercamiento en tiempos de pandemia demostrando que estas herramientas ayudan a mejorar el autocuidado.
Introduction: according to previous studies in Mexico indicate that life expectancy was 75.5 years and according to new data, it is estimated that this will increase to 77.8 years by 2030, so it is necessary to strengthen and encourage self-care in the elderly, through educational support, due to the pandemic through the use of Information and communication technologies (ICTs) to increase their quality of life. Objective: to assess the quality of life of older adults in the Mezquital Valley before and after educational support to promote self-care through the use of ICTs. Material and methods: basic research with a quantitative approach, exploratory scope level, with an experimental methodological design, prospective longitudinal prolective. The parametric statistical test of the student was taken. Results: according to the instrument WHOQOL-BREF pre intervention was obtained that 80 % of the population reflected an average quality of life, and after a month of intervention was obtained 67 % of the population reflected high quality of life, according to the statistical test was obtained a bilateral mean of .041 after the intervention. Conclusions: the quality of life of older adults improved thanks to the educational interventions offered by ICTs, thus achieving a new approach strategy in times of pandemic, demonstrating that these tools help to improve self-care

BACKGROUND: The non-lethal variant of the Escobar or multiple pterygium syndrome is an entity of autosomal recessive inheritance linked to the X chromosome; it is characterized by multiple pterygia (hence its name) located mainly in the neck (95%) and armpits (55%), as well as other orthopedic malformations such as a vertical talus, congenital hip dislocation, and congenital scoliosis. OBJECTIVE: To present an optional surgical technique for the management of severe spinal deformities. CASE REPORT: Twelve-year-old female diagnosed with Escobar syndrome with severe scoliosis which conditions malformations of the chest with lung involvement, producing mechanical ventilatory restriction and increasing the risk of severe lower respiratory tract infection. We performed a hands-free posterior instrumentation with PASS LP system and Smith-Petersen osteotomies. CONCLUSIONS: The Cobb angle improved from 62° to 23° and the sagittal balance from 125 mm to 73 mm.
El síndrome de Escobar o de pterigium múltiple en su variante no letal es una entidad con tipo de herencia autosómica recesiva ligada al cromosoma X; se caracteriza por presentar múltiples pterigiones de ahí su nombre, principalmente localizados en cuello (95%) y axilas (55%), así como otras malformaciones de tipo ortopédico como astrágalo vertical, luxación congénita de cadera y escoliosis congénita.

Parasitologists from different medical institutions in Havana City carried out the external validation of ENZYMEBA, a diagnostic procedure of intestinal amebiasis developed at the "Pedro Kourí" Institute of Tropical Medicine. To this end, serial faeces specimens from 212 individuals were collected and observed on the microscope (reference test). The ENZYMEBA immunoassay (validation test) was also made. On comparing ENZYMEBA with the microscopic examination, satisfactory indexes of sensitivity and specificity were found. No cross-reactions were detected in faeces specimens, where found other parasites were present, too. Taking into account that only one faeces specimen per patient is enough for the diagnosis of intestinal amebiasis with ENZYMEBA, this procedure may be useful in studies of therapeutical efficacy and prevalence.
