A cura termal resulta moi util no tratamento de numerosas patoloxias cronicas do aparello locomotor, respiratorio, da pel, e doutros organos. Galicia conta cunha enorme riqueza en augas mineromedicinais e dispon de mais de 300 mananciais e 21 balnearios nos que se pode encontrar alivio para as doenzas, repouso e benestar.A Universidade de Santiago de Compostela conta desde 2009 cunha Catedra de Hidroloxia Medica, que foi creada coa finalidade de fomentar a docencia, investigacion e difusion dos conecementos no campo da Hidroloxia Medica.Unha das actividades e esta guia, que pretende axudarlle ao profesorado a achegar o alumnado dos ultimos cursos de primaria e dos primeiros da ESO ao conecemento da importancia da auga para a vida e, en especial, das augas mineromedicinais e as suas aplicacioons na promocion da saude, no tratamento das enfermidades e na procura do benestar. Consta de cinco apartados nos que se combinan texto e enlaces con diferentes materiais didacticos dixitais.

In Spain, vaccination coverage data from previous seasons show vaccination rates well below official targets; however, these figures improved significantly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the importance of achieving and maintaining high vaccination rates in order to avoid the clinical and economic impact of influenza, our multidisciplinary group of experts on vaccines analyzed the impact of low vaccination rates in Spain and drafted a series of measures to boost influenza vaccination coverage, particularly among priority groups.

This study assesses the influence exerted on drug prescribing by patients’ attitudes and expectations, and by doctors’ perception of such expectations.Method We conducted a population‐based cohort study covering 937 subjects attending a health centre in the northwest of Spain. Prescription‐drug advertising directly targeted at patients is banned in Spain. We conducted home‐based interviews at the start of follow‐up to assess patients’ attitudes, and monthly telephone interviews during the 1‐year follow‐up period to assess consumption of medical drugs and medical visits. Using nested case‐control study covering 127 of the cohort subjects who attended the health centre, we assessed patients’ pre‐consultation expectations for prescriptions, doctors’ perception of such patients’ expe...

In order to achieve this, we developed a study with the following objectives: (1) to evaluated the feasibility of electronic version in patients with different chronic pathologies of the immune system using Short Form 36version2 (SF-36v2), (2) to evaluate the construct validity of SF-36v2 using the electronic data capture, and (3) to compare electronic version questionnaires with paper questionnaires in terms of patients' acceptance, data quality, and reliability. Out-patients with chronic immune diseases (HIV infection, lupus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, Behçet and Sjögren), were randomly selected to completed electronic and paper SF-36v2 (n=50) before consultation in Clinical Immunology Unit, in Hospital Santo António-Centro Hospitalar do Porto (CI-HGSA). There were very high correlations in SF-36v2 responses (p< .001) between t...

In the period between November 2009 and January 2011, 304 blood samples were obtained from dogs over 1 year of age, with no previous history of heartworm prevention or diagnosis. Every blood sample was analyzed using varied laboratory techniques (direct microscopic evaluation of a fresh blood sample, the modified Knott technique, and the ELISA antigen detection test-IDEXX SnappÒ). In the samples in which microfilaremia was detected, a histochemical technique using acid phosphatase staining was applied to identify the species of microfilariae. A total prevalence of 27.3% (83 out of 304) was found. We also found that 73.5% of all positive cases (61 out of 83) were microfilaremic, and 26.5% were occult infections (22 out of 83). By means of a histochemical technique Dirofilaria immitis was identified in 96.7% of microfilaremic samples. A multivariate model allowed us to identify the following risk factors for the presence of heartworm disease: age between 4 and 9 years, dogs living in a rural environment, large breed dogs, and living outdoors. This study shows for the first time the high prevalence of heartworm disease in a central area of Portugal and emphasizes the importance of systematic screening for this disease, as well as the need to prevent it in dogs in this area.
