Objetivo : Desentranar el significado que atribuyen los profesores a la manera como la Universidad forma integralmente a los estudiantes de las areas de salud. Materiales y metodos : trabajo de enfoque cualitativo de caracter comprensivo; unidad de trabajo: docentes universitarios; unidad de analisis: documentos institucionales y textos sistematizados, producto de grupos focales. Las categorias estan relacionadas con las esferas del Ser, del Saber y del Actuar. Resultados : se puede destacar la siguiente expresion “[…] la necesidad de fortalecer la humanizacion y la sensibilidad hacia el paciente, como persona […]”, esta afirmacion denota la claridad meridiana que debe tener la formacion integral en el ambito de lo humano. Conclusion : En el contexto de la formacion del Talento Humano en Salud (mal llamado recurso humano en salud), es necesario partir de la concepcion de un ser humano integro, porque tanto quien se forma en salud como quien es sujeto de atencion, son igualmente dignos.

Sheep production is the major importante activity of its farming systems. Beira Baixa Merino is the most common breed of the region and it is used as a triple purpose: milk, meat and wool. Nowadays, milk has becoming the most importante production. The new production conditions, with acession to the Common Market, lead the farmes to change some components of farming systems. To study how this changes must occur, an inquiry was made to the farmers, that allow a characterization of production systems, as the basis of future work. This paper results from the inquiry referred, and it’s an approach to the production systems of Beira Baixa Merino. Some constraints to the developpment are pointed

To date, schizophrenia has no cure and pharmacological treatments are only partially efficacious, with about 30% of patients describing little to no improvement after treatment. As in most neurological disorders, the main descriptions of schizophrenia physiopathology have been focused on neural network deficiencies. However, to sustain proper neural activity in the brain, another, no less important network is operating: the vast, complex and fascinating vascular network. Increasing research has characterized schizophrenia as a systemic disease where vascular involvement is important. Several neuro-angiogenic pathway disturbances have been related to schizophrenia. Alterations, ranging from genetic polymorphisms, mRNA, and protein alterations to microRNA a...

In particolare si esamina la scelta fra antagonisti dell’Angiotensina II (sartani, ARB) e gli ACE inibitori (ACEi) nella terapia dell’ipertensione. Lo studio si è svolto nell’ASS6 Friuli occidentale, ed ha riguardato l’intera provincia di Pordenone. This paper presents a study which evaluates the influence of specialists on the prescription of ACE inhibitors vs angiotensin-receptor blocker using administrative database. It was carried out in the ASS6 Friuli Occidentale and concerns the entire province of Pordenone. Metodi - Methods Sono stati analizzati alcuni database amministrativi (ricette mediche, ricoveri ospedalieri, analisi specialistiche) dell’ASS6 relativi al 2008. Sono state individuati soggetti che avessero ricevuto prescrizioni di farmaci della classe C09 della classificazione ATC e che non risultassero in trattament...

The Authors particularly describe the factors that can influence the outcome of chemotherapy, such as: the drug used and their posology, the age of the cysts and or of the patients, cyst morphology and localization etc.

The treated cysts showed degenerative modifications in 50.6% of the cases after mebendazole treatment and in about 80% after albendazole treatment. Relapses after therapy were observed in 30% of the cases; about 95% of the recurring cysts showed good susceptibility to a further cycle of therapy with benzoimidazole carbamates. Side effects observed with either drug were not severe and always reversible, consisting mainly of abdominal pains and increased levels of transaminases in serum. Among the factors that may influence the therapeutic results are the drug employed, the age of the cysts, the age of the patient, and the localization of the cysts and their morphological characteristics. Moreover, it can be hypothesized that each hydatid cyst has an intrinsic sensitivity to benzoimidazole carbamates.

While evidence from past EU studies for the dairy sector is mixed, several studies have found evidence of asymmetry in particular countries. However, none to our knowledge have considered evidence for Italy. We examine price dynamics within the chain and test for presence of asymmetry in the transmission of price changes along the chain. Using a parametric test of asymmetry in a multivariate VECM, we find strong evidence of symmetry in co-movement. To explore whether these results are robust with respect to nonlinearity we estimate threshold VECM models and also find strong evidence to reject asymmetry except for the transmission between raw milk and wholesale butter prices. While inference with respect to competitiveness of markets cannot be inferred from evidence of asymmetr...

However, few of them are accompanied by convincing health claims, as the response to nutraceutical components varies from subject to subject, depends on the concentration of bioactive components and their efficacy must be tested in repeated clinical trials. Many medical studies have proved the non-substitutable roles of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (PUFA) in many biological and regulatory patterns. The purpose of this research is to test the consumers’ attitude to sunflower PUFA oil and their willingness to pay (WTP) a premium price for the quality of this nutraceutical food. The inference is based on the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) able to capture the complexity of credence quality of this nutraceutical oil to influence the customer decisions. A survey with “ad hoc” questionnaire using CASI technique was submitted to a sample of consumers located i...

Our interest is to explore the potential market of modified sunflower oil composition as functional food by testing a sample of potential consumers using the SEM approach

The structural changes of Agriculture consisted in decrease in occupation and contribution to the GNP. However, structural changes varied among italian regions explained by a differcnt degrees of technical progress. Because of structural inefficiencies (small scale) low concentration and integration and poor commercial strategies, food industry has encountered some difficulties in adjusting to the innovation
