RESUMO
Aquaculture parasite biodiversity dependents on multiple environmental characteristics, including water quality. The analysis of this relationship aims to support improvements in the production management of tilapia. For this purpose, a total of 100 juvenile fishes (Oreochromis spp.) and 30 water samples were collected at Valle del Mezquital in the Central-Eastern socioeconomical region of Mexico. A study of parasite biodiversity was carried out and water quality parameters were determined. Biodiversity in the habitat was measured using the Simpson diversity index, which considers the number of species present and the abundance of each one; we also calculate the Berger-Parker index to estimate the proportional importance of the most abundant species. In general, it was found that 86% of the examined specimens were parasitized. Parasite biodiversity was 11 genera (Simpson index = 0.55). Trichodina spp. (Ciliophora) was the dominant genus (Berger-Parker index = 0.51). The protozoa Apiosoma spp. was associated with the water hardness (Berger-Parker index = 0.57). Furthermore, the presence of monogeneans showed a positive correlation with the levels of nitrites and ammonium in the water (Berger-Parker index = 0.06-0.55). This characterization may represent a useful tool in the comprehensive management of parasites that affect the farmed tilapia. However, new data is necessary to expand the knowledge about the environment-host-parasite relationship.
RESUMO
Reptiles are important models for understanding fundamental aspects of physiological ecology and for assessing how environmental change can impact biodiversity. Abiotic factors (micro-environmental temperatures, operative temperatures, thermal quality) may vary geographically along an altitudinal and latitudinal gradient, and therefore the different thermal resources available for thermoregulation also vary. Comparative analyses among populations provide an opportunity to understand how variation in abiotic factors can affect different ecophysiological traits of a species at different geographical points. Our objective was to carry out a comparative study between two populations of Pristidactylus scapulatus in the Puna region of Argentina, providing the first data available on thermal ecophysiology, thermoregulatory efficiency and locomotor performance of the species. We determined field body temperature, micro-environmental temperatures and operative temperatures. In the laboratory, we measured preferred temperatures and calculated the index of thermoregulatory efficiency. In addition, we recorded critical temperature (minimum and maximum) and we estimated the thermal sensitivity of locomotion by measuring sprint speed at different body temperatures; based on these data we calculated the optimal temperature for performance, the optimal performance breadth and thermal safety margin. Air temperatures and operative temperatures were different between sites. However, we only found differences between populations in the minimum critical temperatures, with these being lower at higher latitude. We note that P. scapulatus populations adjust optimal temperatures of performance to field body temperatures and preferred temperatures, which could reduce the costs of thermoregulation in lizards with limited daily activity and who inhabit sites with variable and unpredictable environment temperatures. We conclude that Pristidactylus scapulatus has thermal sensitivity in locomotor performance, is a moderate thermoregulator with respect to the environment and is a eurithermic lizard, which has thermal flexibility in the cold.

RESUMEN La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica se caracteriza por una limitación crónica al flujo aéreo poco reversible y asociada en particular al humo de tabaco. Se trata de una enfermedad infradiagnosticada y con una elevada morbimortalidad, lo que implica un problema de salud pública de gran magnitud. Constituye la cuarta causa de muerte en los países del Caribe y se prevé que su prevalencia siga en aumento, lo que representa un elevado costo sanitario. En Cuba la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica constituye la quinta causa de muerte con una tendencia ascendente en los próximos años, por lo que es un problema de salud, del que no se excluye la provincia de Matanzas, como causa de ingresos frecuentes en sus unidades de atención al grave, las cuales en ocasiones presentan una evolución desfavorable. Entre los factores de riesgo que incrementan esta entidad se encuentran el tabaquismo y la contaminación ambiental, que aumentan la morbilidad por esta entidad con complicaciones que prolongan la estadía hospitalaria y elevan la mortalidad (AU).
SUMMARY Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by the chronic limitation of the airflow, almost irreversible and mainly associated to tobacco smoke. It is an underdiagnosed disease with a high morbimortality, meaning a health problem of high magnitude. It is the fourth cause of death in the Caribbean countries and it is expected its prevalence will still increase, representing a high sanitary cost. In Cuba, it is the fifth cause of death with an increasing tendency in the next years, being a health problem because it causes frequent admissions in the Seriously-ill Care Units, frequently having an unfavorable evolution. The province of Matanzas is not excluded from this. Smoking and environmental pollution are among the risk factors favoring this entity, increasing this entity morbidity with complications that make hospital staying longer and mortality higher (AU).

RESUMEN La valoración de las complejas relaciones sociales e intergeneracionales constituye un derecho de cada individuo en tanto sujeto pensante y con capacidad para ello. Son muchas las aristas de este tema y los puntos de vista que suscita en la sociedad cubana actual el tratamiento del mismo, que por demás es interesantísimo y lo han abordado personalidades académicas, intelectuales, cuadros de dirección y simples ciudadanos; es que en ello va un sentido de vida y la necesidad de retomar andares atribulados por causas diversas. A ninguna persona, con un poco de sentido común y preocupación por nuestro futuro, le es ajena esta temática. ¿Cómo ve la sociedad cubana actual este fenómeno social y en qué contexto se produce esta situación? ¿Cuáles son las tendencias y quiénes participan más en ellas? ¿Quiénes la piensan científicamente? Sobre este tema estaremos tratando en el presente artículo. Perseguimos estimular el análisis y que cada cual asuma una posición que le permita cuando menos desarrollar elementos que le posibilite trabajar en el sentido que considere mejor (AU).
SUMMARY The assessment of the complex social and intergenerational relations is a right for each individual, as thinking subject with ability for that. This theme has many sides and its treatment have motivated many points of view in the current Cuban society. Otherwise it is very interesting and has been approached by academic personalities, intelligentsia, managers and simple citizens; it is that it includes a life sense and the necessity of retaking paths affected by different causes. The theme should not be strange for any person with common sense and concern for our country. How does current Cuban society look at this social phenomena and what is the context the situation takes place in? Which are the tendencies and who takes part more in them? Who think on them scientifically? The current article deals with this theme. It pretends to inspire the analysis, and the assumption of a position allowing to develop, at least, elements facilitating work in the best considered sense (AU).

Records of lizard parasitizing ticks in Argentina are scarce and incomplete. We recorded a new population of Liolaemus eleodori, a lizard endemic to Argentina, parasitized by the hard tick Amblyomma parvitarsum. Hence, the objective of this study is to report this new association and enhance knowledge about its parasitism on reptiles of Argentina. To do this, we researched ectoparasitic loads. We determined different ecological predictors: intensity, mean intensity and prevalence. Our results provide the first data on the parasitism of nymphal stages on this lizard. We found a tick prevalence of 91.6% and a mean intensity of 2.45. Considering sexes, mean intensity was higher in females than in males. The gular region and lower ventral abdomen were the highest parasitized anatomical regions. This new record of the host-parasite association suggests that this relationship is not accidental, with this lizard species being central to the tick's life cycle. Probably, the microhabitat of this lizard species is essential for the tick to reach high prevalence. Our study represents an important contribution and provides additional information on parasitism in lizards of Argentina.

This paper deals with the skills related to the early reading acquisition in two countries that share language. Traditionally on reading readiness research there is a great interest to find out what factors affect early reading ability, but differ from other academic skills that affect general school learnings. Furthermore, it is also known how the influence of pre-reading variables in two countries with the same language, affect the development of the reading. On the other hand, several studies have examined what skills are related to reading readiness (phonological awareness, alphabetic awareness, naming speed, linguistic skills, metalinguistic knowledge and basic cognitive processes), but there are no studies showing whether countries can also influence the development of these skills.Our main objective in this study was to establish whether there were differences in the degree of acquisition of these skills between Spanish (119 children) and Peruvian (128 children), five years old children assessed in their own countries and after controlling Economic, Social and Cultural Status (ESCS). The results show that there are significant differences in the degree of acquisition of these skills between these two samples. It's especially relevant, in these results, that the main predictor in a regression study was the country of origin, explaining a higher percentage of variance than other variables such as age differences, in months, or gender. These findings corroborate the results obtained in other studies with migrant population.

Introducción: la Educación Médica Superior en Cuba tiene como misión la educación integral de los estudiantes de las Ciencias Médicas que implica conocimientos teóricos, habilidades profesionales, éticas, formación y desarrollo de valores, por lo que deben estar motivados y los profesores lograr un proceso de estimulación que les permita alcanzar su meta deseada. Objetivo: se caracteriza la motivación profesional de los estudiantes de primer año de la carrera de Medicina del curso 2015-2016. Materiales y Métodos: se caracterizó los aspectos relacionados con la motivación y los intereses asociados a la profesión elegida en los estudiantes de primer año, a través de la encuesta diseñada para la investigación. Resultados: menos del 50% de los estudiantes encuestados siempre quisieron estudiar Medicina, el 61% deseaba otras profesiones. Las razones que influyeron en la selección fueron: permitirle acercarse a otras personas, hacerle bien a los demás, amor y respeto a esta profesión, comprender la necesidad e importancia social de la misma y consejos de los padres y familiares. El 87% de los encuestados disfrutan de estudiar las asignaturas, a ninguno le es indiferente, el 13% le resulta estresante, no lo disfruta o no sabe qué decir. Conclusiones: la motivación constituye un pilar importante en la formación de los estudiantes en la nueva universidad. No todos tenían como primera opción la carrera en curso, se fueron motivando en la medida que se desarrollaron las asignaturas. Aplicar en las diferentes formas de organización de la enseñanza vías y métodos, para incrementar la orientación profesional (AU).
Introduction: high Medical Education in Cuba has the mission of the integral education of the Medical Sciences students, involving theoretical knowledge, professional skills, ethics and values formation and development; therefore, they should be motivated and the teachers should develop a stimulation process allowing them to reach the desired aim. Aim: it is analyzed the professional motivation of the first-year students of Medicine degree in the school year 2015-2016. Materials and Methods: the aspects related with motivation and the interests associated to the chosen profession in first year students are characterized through the survey designed for the research. Results: less than 50 % of the surveyed students always wanted to study Medicine. 61 % wanted to study other professions. The reasons influencing the choice were: allowing them to be near to other persons, doing well to other persons, love and respect to the profession, understanding the necessity and social importance of this specialty, and the advises of their parents and relatives. 87 % of the students enjoy studying the matters; they are not indifferent to none of them; 13 % of them think the matters are stressful, they do not enjoy them or they do not know what to say. Conclusions: motivation is an important milestone in the students´ training in the new university. Not all of the students chose the specialty they study now as their first choice; they became motivated as they were studying the matters. Ways and methods to increase professional orientation should be applied in the different forms of teaching organization (AU).

The present study aims to identify early cognitive impairment through the efficient use of therapies that can improve the quality of daily life and prevent disease progress. We propose a methodology based on the hypothesis that the dissociation between oral semantic expression and the physical expressions, facial gestures, or emotions transmitted in a person's tone of voice is a possible indicator of cognitive impairment. Experiments were carried out with phrases, analyzing the semantics of the message, and the tone of the voice of patients through unstructured interviews in healthy people and patients at an early Alzheimer's stage. The results show that the dissociation in cognitive impairment was an effective indicator, arising from patterns of inconsistency between the analyzed elements. Although the results of our study are encouraging, we believe that further studies are necessary to confirm that this dissociation is a probable indicator of cognitive impairment.
RESUMO
El objetivo de esta investigación se centra en la percepción que poseen los profesores sobre las Clases de Inclusión Escolar (CLIS) de Centros Públicos de Educación Élémentaire de la Loire (Francia) en relación con distintos aspectos organizativos. Contamos con una muestra de 40 profesores a quienes se les pasó el instrumento, un cuestionario ad hoc. Seguimos un diseño metodológico de carácter no experimental; concretamente, un diseño de encuesta transversal. Los resultados nos han acercado al contexto real de las CLIS obteniendo datos significativos sobre su tipología, el número de alumnos y alumnas escolarizados, el tiempo dedicado por los profesores y las profesoras a la planificación e implementación, y el grado de adecuación de las relaciones interpersonales de los individuos docentes respecto al resto de miembros implicados en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje del alumnado de las CLIS...

BACKGROUND: Low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma or tumor Evans is a variety of soft tissue sarcoma that represents 1% of all malignancies. More common in limbs and trunk (50%), we present 3 new cases of retroperitoneal reviewing their characteristics and performing a literature review. CLINICAL CASE: In the retroperitoneal location highlights the poor specificity of clinical symptoms, demonstrating, according to their growth and size, as an abdominal tumor, usually painless, or by compression and/or invasion of nearby structures. In cases that present the most important finding was the presence of a palpable abdominal tumor without other symptoms despite remarkable infiltration of other organs that should be included in surgical resection. CONCLUSIONS: We emphasize the difficulty of correct diagnosis preoperatively because preoperative studies are inconclusive and only the histological and immuno-histo-typing chemistry allow precise identification.
Antecedentes: el sarcoma fibromixoide de bajo grado o tumor de Evans es una variedad de sarcoma de partes blandas que representa el 1% de todos los tumores malignos. Más frecuente en extremidades y tronco (50%), presentamos tres nuevos casos de localización retroperitoneal. Se revisan sus características y se realiza actualización bibliográfica. Casos clínicos: en su localización retroperitoneal destaca lo inespecífico de su sintomatología clínica, se manifiesta en función de su crecimiento y tamaño, como una tumoración abdominal, habitualmente indolora, o por la compresión y/o invasión de estructuras próximas. Los casos presentados se manifestaron, por la presencia de tumoración abdominal, sin otra sintomatología; a pesar de infiltrar a otros órganos. Conclusiones: el diagnóstico preoperatorio es difícil, y debe tenerse la presunción clínica para solicitar el estudio histológico, con tipificación inmuno-histo-química para su dentificación precisa.

La identificación y evaluación de los desórdenes temporomandibulares continúa siendo un hecho importante en la determinación de la conducta terapéutica y por ende en la recuperación de la salud y calidad de vida del paciente afectado. El propósito de este trabajo fue realizar la identificación de algunos factores de riesgo como la masticación unilateral y el tratamiento de ortodoncia en pacientes con disfunción temporomandibular, con edades entre 7 y 44 años, pertenecientes a diferentes centros de enseñanza del municipio de Matanzas, para lo cual fue realizado un estudio descriptivo y transversal. La muestra se obtuvo mediante la aplicación de un esquema probabilístico y multietápico, en el que fueron seleccionados 1,866 sujetos agrupados por edades. Los pacientes fueron diagnosticados mediante la aplicación del Test de Krogh Paulsen. La presencia del factor masticación unilateral se detectó en un 26,8 por ciento de los pacientes con disfunción temporomandibular , con aumento notable de los valores a partir de las edades de 18-23 (40.3 por ciento). El factor tratamiento de ortodoncia resultó menos frecuente (24.3 por ciento) en los afectados. El empleo de un buen método clínico podrá contribuir a la detección temprana de estas anomalías impidiendo su complicación.
Identifying and evaluating temporomandibular disorders is still an important fact when determining the therapeutic behavior and therefore the recuperation of the affected patient´s health and life quality. The purpose of this work was identifying some risk facts like unilateral mastication and orthodontic treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction in 7-to-44 years-old patients from different schools of the municipality of Matanzas. With that objective, we carried out a descriptive and transversal study. The sample, 1 866 patients grouped by age, was obtained applying a multistage, probabilistic scheme. The patients were diagnosed using the Krogh-Paulsen´s Test. The presence of the unilateral mastication fact was found in 26,8 per cent of the patients with temporomandibular dysfunction, with a notable increase of the values in the age group from 18 to 23 years (40.3 per cent). The orthodontic treatment fact was less frequent (24.3 per cent). The usage of a good clinic method could contribute to early detection of these anomalies avoiding complications.

La etiología de los trastornos temporomandibulares es de naturaleza compleja y se considera aún no resuelta. Entre los posibles factores de riesgo se citan las maloclusiones dentarias precisamente por las variaciones conque pueden presentarse, en ocasiones grandes discrepancias estructurales pueden provocar disturbios funcionales, con tendencia a agravarse cuando coexisten otros factores de riesgo. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar factores de riesgo como las maloclusiones dentarias, y algunas características específicas como son el resalte y el sobrepase presentes en población de 7 a 44 años de edad con disfunción temporomandibular, los cuales fueron pesquisados en centros de enseñanza del municipio de Matanzas. El estudio realizado fue descriptivo y de corte transversal, cuya muestra fue seleccionada mediante la aplicación de un esquema probabilístico y multietápico, donde se seleccionaron 1,866 sujetos. Fue empleado el Test de Krogh Paulsen para el diagnóstico de disfunción. El 72 por ciento de los pacientes afectados con disfunción temporomandibular presentaron maloclusiones dentarias; el 40,9 por ciento alteraciones en el resalte y un 37,8 por ciento en relación al sobrepase, apreciándose un incremento de las mismas conjuntamente con las edades.
The aetiology of temporomandibular disorders is complex and still unsolved. Among the possible risk facts are dental malocclusions precisely because of the variations they present. Occasionally, big structural discrepancies might provoke functional disturbances, with a tendency to get more serious when they coexist with other risk facts. The object of the current, descriptive and transversal study was identifying risk facts like dental malocclusions, and some specific characteristics like overjet and overpass in a 7-to-44 years-old population with temporomandibular dysfunction. They were investigated in schools of the municipality of Matanzas, applying a multistage, probabilistic method to select a sample of 1 866 persons. The Krogh Paulsen Test was used to diagnose the dysfunction. 72 per cent of the patients affected with temporomandibular dysfunctions had dental malocclusions; 40,9 per cent and 37,8 per cent overpassing, finding an increase of them with age.

La controversia existente en cuanto al carácter multifactorial que rodea la disfunción temporomandibular dificulta el conocimiento pleno de esta entidad, por lo que se ha estudiado el comportamiento de diferentes factores de riesgo que pueden manifestarse de forma individual o no, pero que contribuyen en muchos casos al desencadenamiento de este problema clínico. El propósito de este trabajo fue realizar un estudio descriptivo y transversal sobre la identificación de algunos factores de riesgo presentes en pacientes con disfunción temporomandibular con edades comprendidas ente 7 y 44 años, pertenecientes a diferentes centros de enseñanza del municipio de Matanzas. La muestra se obtuvo mediante la aplicación de un esquema probabilístico y multietápico, en el que fueron seleccionados 1,866 sujetos agrupados por edades y sexo. El diagnóstico de disfunción fue realizado mediante la aplicación del Test de Krogh Paulsen. Fueron identificados los factores de riesgo Hábitos parafuncionales, Pérdida dentaria, Interferencias oclusales, Bruxismo y Estrés, determinándose que los Hábitos parafuncionales estuvieron presentes en un 47.5 por ciento, la Pérdida dentaria: 41.9 por ciento, las Interferencias Oclusales: 39.7 por ciento, el estrés: 33.4 por ciento y, por último, el bruxismo con 30.3 por ciento. Fue apreciado un incremento de estos factores conjuntamente con las edades, aunque no de manera uniforme. Se comprueba relación significativa entre estos factores y la disfunción temporomandibular. Una actuación preventiva e interceptiva mediante actividades de promoción, prevención e intervención clínicas oportunas sobre estos factores puede contribuir a disminuir las cifras de afectados.
The existing controversy about the multifactorial character of the temporomandibular dysfunction makes it difficult the complete knowledge of this entity. Thus there has being studied the behavior of several risk facts that can show themselves in an individual way or not, but contributing in many cases to unleashing this clinical problem. The purpose of this work was carrying out a descriptive and transversal study identifying several risk facts in 7-to-44 years-old patients with temporomandibular dysfunction, who are studying in several schools of the province of Matanzas. The sample was selected applying a probabilistic and multistage scheme and 1 866 persons were selected, grouped by age and sex. The dysfunctional diagnostic was achieved applying the Krogh Paulsens Test. As risk facts were identified: Parafunctional Habits, Dental Loss, Occlusal Interferences, Bruxism and Stress, determining that Parafunctional Habits were present in 47. 5 percent, Dental Loss: 41.9 percent. Occlusal Interferences: 39.7 percent, Stress:33.4 percent, and Bruxism: 30.3 percent. It was appreciated an increase of these facts parallel to aging, though not evenly. There was stated a significant relationship between these facts and temporomandibular dysfunction. An interceptive, preventing action through opportune promotional, preventive and clinical interventional activities on these facts can contribute to diminishing the number of affected patients.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the fetal lung maturity in a group of pregnant patients complicated by gestational diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, metabolic controlled patients, as well as to identify the modifications of the phospholipids lung profile by effect of antenatal steroids. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 231 pregnant patients were included in an observational, longitudinal, clinical and descriptive study from January 1st 2000 to April 30th 2003. All those included presented gestational diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance according to the criteria of Carpenter. The metabolic control was demonstrated by means of glycosylated hemoglobin figures minor to 6.5%, and glucose monitoring (<95 mg/dL before meals and < 120 mg/dL two hours after each meal). The amniocentesis was performed just before the use of antenatal steroids and 48 hours after. The phospholipids lung profile was performed applying the Hallman and Kulovich method. RESULTS: By means of the Student's t-test non significant results were obtained for the general characteristics of both groups, except for the evolution of the phospholipids lung profile in the post-treatment group with antenatal steroids. As for the evolution of the fractions in the profile of the weekly phospholipids, an ANOVA test was applied with a p < 0.001 coefficient of statistical significance for the phosphatidylglycerol fraction. CONCLUSIONS: Delay of fetal lung maturity was shown in all the fractions of the phospholipids lung profile. In the group of patients with pregnancies of 36 weeks or more there was shown no correspondence among gestational age and the state of fetal lung maturity (60.75%), in comparison to that reported in existing literature. There were not reported cases of respiratory distress syndrome in the newborns.
