El estudió incluyó una encuesta autoadministrada y una coximetría, así como una reevaluación un año después. Se estudiaron 15 centros escolares, 8 del grupo intervención y 7 de control. Se administró consejo apoyado con un folleto frente al control en el que no se utilizaba el folleto. La asignación a los grupos no fue aleatoria.

La psoriasis es una enfermedad inflamatoria cutánea de naturaleza inmuno-lógica mediada por citoquinas de tipo Th1. El tratamiento con anticuerpos anti-factor de necrosis tumoral α (TNF-α) (infliximab) ha proporcionado respuestas ...

El trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) es un trastorno del neurodesarrollo altamente heredable. La determinación de las características clínicas, los factores de adversidad y el nivel de funcionamiento en hermanos de probandos con TDAH, denominados en alto riesgo (HAR), podría ayudar a establecer el riesgo al cual están sometidos. Objetivo. Determinar la frecuencia de TDAH y otros trastornos psiquiátricos en HAR. Como objetivos secundarios, establecer los factores de adversidad psicosocial que predicen el TDAH en HAR y determinar la magnitud del efecto sobre el funcionamiento y otros trastornos psiquiátricos cuando los hermanos tienen TDAH (HAR TDAH +) comparados con quienes no lo tienen (HAR TDAH -). Material y método. Este estudio multicéntrico es descriptivo, transversal y analítico. La muestra (n=84) se conformó por hermanos adolescentes de probandos diagnosticados con TDAH que compartían a ambos padres. Resultados. El 45.2% (n=38) tuvo TDAH...

Measures of health status and global well-being represent common methods of assessing QOL outcomes, yet little has been done to determine the nature of the relationship of these outcomes with physical activity. We examined the roles played by physical activity, health status, and self-efficacy in global QOL (satisfaction with life) in a sample of older Black and White women. Participants (N = 249, M age = 68.12 years) completed multiple indicators of physical activity, self-efficacy, health status, and QOL at baseline of a 24-month prospective trial. Structural equation modeling examined the fit of 3 models of the physical activity and QOL relationship. Analyses indicated that relationships between physical activity and QOL, self-efficacy and QOL were all indirect. Specifically, physical activity influenced self-efficacy and QOL through physical and mental health status, which in turn influenced global QOL. Our findings support a social cognitive model of physical activity's relationship with QOL. Subsequent tests of hypothesized relationships across time are recommended.

Los objetivos de las colectas pueden ser variados y el material colectado puede utilizarse con fines diversos. Durante el proceso de la colecta se registran datos relevantes del material tomado, esta información posibilita documentar el proceso de colecta y dar trazabilidad al material colectado. Tal como describe en su artículo de divulgación Fernando Noé Biurrun [1], tradicionalmente durante los viajes de colecta se ha utilizado la libreta de campo como herramienta para el registro in situ de los datos del material colectado.

This technique requires sterilization, a procedure that affects, along with other factors, the ability of males to modulate female sexual receptivity after copulation. Numerous pre-release treatments have been proposed to counteract the detrimental effects of irradiation, rearing and handling and increase SIT effectiveness. These include treating newly emerged males with a juvenile hormone mimic (methoprene) or supplying protein to the male's diet to accelerate sexual maturation prior to release. Here, we examine how male irradiation, methoprene treatment and protein intake affect remating behavior and the amount of sperm stored in inseminated females. In field cage experiments, we found that irradiated laboratory males were equally able to modulate female remating behavior as fertile wild males. However, females mated with 6-da...

This satisfaction maintain relations to the coherence, fairness, fun, support, lack of conflicts, affective proximity, confidence, cohesion, adaptation, allocation and acceptance of roles and tasks, open communication and the acceptance in general of the own family. The use of developed psychological tests constructed in other countries is a frequent practice in the world. The validation and standardization of the test imply to establish measurement rules and scales of qualification for a determined population, when it is different from the original population in which it was created or where the instrument is used habitually. The objective of this study was to collect the normative data of the Family Satisfaction by Adjectives Scale (FSAS) in children and adolescents of Mexico City. Material and methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 476 men and women; 8 to 15 years 11 months of age. The survey family satisfaction by adjectives scale (FSAS) by Barraca and López-Yarto was applied. The data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v.17). Results The sample was conformed by 226 men (47.5%) and 250 women (52.5%). Of these, 237 were children (8 to 11 years and 11 months of age) and 239 were adolescents (12 to 15 years and 11 months of age). It was found that Family Satisfaction by Adjectives Scale (FSAS) has very good reliability (=.89), construct (50% total variance), content and discriminative validity among children and adolescents (p.000).
