Introduction: Active methodologies promote learning through the resolution of real situations, promoting the construction of knowledge and skills. This turns the student into an active participant, strengthening their critical thinking skills. A bibliographic review was carried out with the objective of reviewing the problem-based learning method and its benefits in the context of medical education.Methods: a bibliographic review was carried out between December 2023 and January 2024 in the main databases and other search services. The terms “problem-based learning”, “health education”, “medical education” were used as search descriptors.Results: In medical education, the problem-based learning approach focuses on students addressing real clinical situations to develop diagnostic and therapeutic skills. This model seeks to ensure that, from the beginning of their training, future health professionals are involved in medical practice, instead of only acquiring theoretical knowledge. The development of critical thinking is essential to face real-world clinical situations, so learning must be student-centered and meaningful, involving problems that reflect real contexts of professional practice.Conclusions: Problem-based learning is one more strategy in the wide range of possibilities for teaching and developing medical education, and it has advantages and disadvantages like any other strategy.
Río Manduriacu and Dracula reserves, owned by the Fundación EcoMinga, are located in northwestern Ecuador, which has been a hotspot for the discovery of numerous new orchid species in recent years. Here, we propose Lepanthes inesmanzanoae, a new species found in Río Manduriacu reserve in Cordillera del Toisán. This species is distinguished by the transversely bilobed, velvety petals with a minute process on the outer margin of the midvein, the lower lobe of the petal shorter, triangular, attenuate, the appendix triangular, acute and the bilobed stigma. The new taxon is described, illustrated, and compared to its most similar species. Additionally, we report four new records of the genus Lepanthes for Ecuador.
Introduction: fecal Matter Transplantation is a method based on the administration of a processed and prepared fecal suspension from a healthy individual to another patient with the aim of restoring intestinal microbiota balance by manipulating the microbiota to the carrier of the specific disease with the goal of achieving its resolution. Objectives: to describe the scientific evidence on fecal microbiota transplantation strategies to restore intestinal balance and reduce Clostridium difficile infections. Material and methods: a Systematic Review of the literature was carried out, which will be governed according to PRISMA guidelines. The units of analysis will be abstracts and full text of articles with randomized clinical trial design or prospective or retrospective cohort, published in Scopus, Web of Science and Pubmed, without temporal restriction. Results: the systematic review indicates that dexmedetomidine shows promise in reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium, emergency delirium, and pain in various surgical populations. These findings have significant clinical implications, especially for elderly patients and children undergoing specific procedures. Dexmedetomidine's safety profile was generally acceptable, with no major adverse events reported. Conclutions: while the systematic review suggests that dexmedetomidine may offer benefits in preventing postoperative delirium and improving perioperative outcomes, further research is needed to establish optimal dosing, refine assessment methods, and explore its long-term effects. Dexmedetomidine holds promise as a valuable tool in pediatric and geriatric surgical settings, with the potential to enhance patient care and recovery.
En los últimos años se advierte un cambio en las decisiones de política pública en torno al modelo de producción imperante, especialmente reforzado en la pandemia por covid-19. Tanto a nivel nacional como provincial se postula a la agroecología como la alternativa al modelo convencional de producción -derivado del paquete tecnológico de la revolución verde-. En este sentido, en la proyección de prácticas de agroecología sustentable se considera necesario incorporar la dimensión de género de manera transversal, tanto en las prácticas de producción como en los organismos vinculados al diseño de políticas públicas para el sector. Enmarcada en el Proyecto Género y Desarrollo: relevamiento y análisis de innovaciones y tecnologías para la resolución de problemas socio-ambientales en Argentina desde una perspectiva de género, (PICTO- FONCyT 2022), se presenta la propuesta teórico-metodológica implementada por el nodo Sustentabilidad y Género, radicado la Facultad de Arquitectura Urbanismo y Diseño de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. La misma emplea una metodología de tipo mixta desde un marco analítico que articula conceptos centrales de la sustentabilidad y de los estudios de género con conceptos de la sociología de la tecnología. Con este abordaje, se busca aportar a estrategias más plurales en el diseño de políticas públicas, poniendo en diálogo los conceptos a partir del enfoque de sistemas como una forma de pensar en términos de conectividad, relaciones y contexto con un carácter interdisciplinario.
Introduction: the goals of treatment are eradication of the mites from the infected individual, prevention of spread of scabies to other individuals, relief of associated pruritus, and recognition and treatment of complications. Treatment generally includes everyone in the household, even if they have no symptoms: symptoms can take 4-6 weeks to develop after a person is infested. Scabies is most commonly treated with 5 % permethrin dermal cream. Objectives: to describe the factors associated with response to treatment and effectiveness of a first course of 5 % permethrin in a pediatric population with scabies. Material and methods: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective, retrospective study will be carried out through the study of clinical records from a primary health care center in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The study period will include records from January 2020 to September 2022. The study population will be pediatric patients receiving care at the center and diagnosed with scabies.
