Co-design and validation of a family nursing educational intervention in long-term cancer survivorship using expert judgement
Get PDFThe number of cancer survivors is increasing exponentially thanks to early screening, treatment, and cancer care. One of the main challenges for healthcare systems and professionals is the care of cancer survivors and their families, as they have specific needs that are often unmet. Nursing students, as future healthcare professionals, need education to face these new health demands. They will need to develop specific competencies to help them care for and empower this emerging population. The aim of the study was to co-design and validate an educational intervention on long-term cancer survivorship for nursing, through a multidisciplinary panel of experts. Group interviews were conducted with a panel of 11 experts, including eight professionals from different backgrounds (oncology, cancer nursing, pharmacology, and education), a long-term cancer survivor, a family member of a cancer survivor, and a nursing student. The experts validated a pioneer educational intervention to train nursing students in long-term cancer survival. The co-design and validation of the intervention from an interdisciplinary perspective and with the participation of long-term cancer survivors and their families was considered relevant as it included the vision of all the stakeholders involved in long-term cancer survivorship
Modification of breast cancer milieu with chemotherapy plus dendritic cell vaccine: an approach to select best therapeutic strategies
Get PDFBackground: The addition of dendritic cell vaccines (DCV) to NAC could induce immune responses in those patients with residual disease (RD) by transforming the tumor microenvironment. Methods: Core diagnostic biopsies and surgical specimens from 80 patients (38 in the vaccinated group plus NAC (VG) and 42 in the control group (CG, treated only with NAC) were selected. We quantify TILs (CD8, CD4 and CD45RO) using immunohistochemistry and the automated cellular imaging system (ACIS III) in paired samples. Results: A CD8 rise in TNBC samples was observed after NAC plus DCV, changing from 4.48% in the biopsy to 6.70% in the surgical specimen, not reaching statistically significant differences (p = 0.11). This enrichment was seen in up to 67% of TNBC patients in the experimental arm as compared with the CG (20%). An association between CD8 TILs before NAC (4% cut-off point) and pathological complete response in the VG was found in the univariate and multivariate analysis (OR = 1.41, IC95% 1.05-1.90; p = 0.02, and OR = 2.0, IC95% 1.05-3.9; p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that patients with TNBC could benefit from the stimulation of the antitumor immune system by using DCV together with NAC
El populismo en las campañas electorales: análisis de los spots en las elecciones presidenciales de 2015 y 2019 en Guatemala
Get PDFLa democracia liberal experimenta actualmente un desapego ciudadano del que forma parte el populismo, un fenómeno especialmente presente en los países latinoamericanos. Sin embargo, la tesis de que el populismo caracteriza la política en Latinoamérica todavía necesita estudios micro en países concretos. En este artículo, se ofrece una definición operativa de populismo, se propone un código de análisis que recoge las características principales de este fenómeno y se aplica a los spots de los candidatos que llegaron a la segunda y definitiva vuelta en las últimas dos elecciones presidenciales de 2015 y de 2019 en Guatemala. Los resultados confirman la presencia del populismo en los spots, pero la ausencia de algunos de los rasgos lleva a plantear unas campañas de populismo mitigado. Al mismo tiempo, no todos los candidatos recurren a él con la misma intensidad

No full textThis paper develops a review of the book Pedagogy of the Common Action of Editorial Graó. This work by Puig Rovira proposes a pedagogical approach in which democracy is not endangered. This author, through his work, shows his concern about the current challenges based on the market economy. Mainly, it defends education as a humanizing act that develops citizens that seek the good of the community -called Pedagogy of the common action-. Finally, it concretizes this educational practice in service (values from experiences) and creative intelligence as a means to face conflicts.Book Revie

El fiasco de la Universidad de Guipúzcoa. Una aproximación a la crisis política y social vivida en el tardofranquismo
Get PDFIn November 1971, Guipuzcoa was in the midst of a university crisis due to the government’s decision, as specified in the III Development Plan, to not expand public higher education offerings in the province. This resulted in a deterioration of relations between the provincial council and the Civil Government, as well as confrontations between the former and the San Sebastian City Council. All of this occurred amidst the rivalry between Traditionalists and Falangists, which had marked the Franco regime in the region from its inception. This political and social debate continued throughout 1972 and was reflected in the provincial media, which attributed various causes for the government's refusal, including the perception of a tepid response from Guipuzcoans to the challenge already posed by ETA.En noviembre de 1971, Guipúzcoa se vio inmersa en la crisis de la universidad, ante la decisión gubernamental, concretada en el III Plan de Desarrollo, de no ampliar la oferta pública de estudios superiores en esa provincia. El jarro de agua fría se tradujo en un deterioro de las relaciones entre la diputación provincial y el Gobierno Civil, así como un enfrentamiento entre la primera de esas instituciones y el Ayuntamiento de San Sebastián. Todo ello, inmerso en la rivalidad entre tradicionalistas y falangistas que había marcado desde sus orígenes al régimen franquista en ese territorio. Un debate político, pero también social, que se extendió a lo largo de 1972 y que tuvo su reflejo en los medios de comunicación provinciales, en los que se achacaron diversas causas para la negativa gubernamental, entre otras la percepción de una tibia respuesta de los guipuzcoanos ante el reto que ya suponía ETA
