Sustancia adictivas y embarazo: Cuidados de enfermería a la mujer embarazada y al recién nacido para minimizar sus efectos
Get PDFIntroduction
The consumption of psychoactive substances or drugs by women has negative effects on their health. However, in case of pregnancy, problems will arise in the development of the fetus and dependence on the newborn, which may develop the Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.
Description
Addiction to drugs during pregnancy has consequences in the development of the fetus and can cause dependence on the neonate, resulting in the Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, which is characterized by a set of symptoms and signs of hyperexcitability due to cessation of addictive substances. The nurse has an important role, not only in the early recruitment of pregnancy women who are consuming addictive substances, but also in the care of the nerwborn with neonatal abstinence.
Conclusions
Well-trained nurses play an important role in early detection of pregnant women with addiction and in the assessment of susceptible newborns to develop Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, as well as in the care of those who have already developed it, to minimize the effects and to help to improve the newborns’ well-being.Introducción: El consumo de sustancias o drogas psicoactivas por parte de la mujer tienen efectos negativos para su salud, pero en caso de que esté embarazada se generarán problemas en el desarrollo del feto y dependencia en el recién nacido, pudiendo éste desarrollar el Síndrome de Abstinencia Neonatal.
Descripción: La adicción a las drogas por parte de las mujeres embarazadas tiene consecuencias en el desarrollo del feto y puede llegar a producir dependencia en el neonato, dando lugar al Síndrome de Abstinencia Neonatal, que se caracteriza por un conjunto de síntomas y signos de hiperexcitabilidad debido al cese del aporte de las sustancias adictivas. La enfermera de Atención Primaria tiene una función importante, no solo en la captación precoz de mujeres embarazadas consumidoras de sustancias adictivas, sino que también en la prevención de ese consumo antes del embarazo, con el objetivo de que la mujer realice un cambio en sus conductas de riesgo.
Conclusiones: Las enfermeras debidamente formadas tienen una función importante en la detección precoz de mujeres embarazadas con adicción y en la valoración de los recién nacidos susceptibles de desarrollar Síndrome de Abstinencia Neonatal, así como en el cuidado de los que ya lo han desarrollado, para minimizar sus efectos y ayudar a su bienestar
Cooperative Control in a Hybrid DC/AC Microgrid based on Hybrid DC/AC Virtual Generators
Get PDFThis paper deals with the dynamic control of the DC bus voltage and the AC voltage magnitude and frequency in a hybrid DC/AC Microgrid (MG). In order to allow a high penetration of renewable energies, provide an increased system reliability during islanding and reduce the dependency on the mains, Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) are included in both the DC and AC grids. The MG is composed by a multiport solid-state-based transformation center, with connexion to the mains and a central battery energy storage system (BESS), and a flexible number of AC Nanogrids (NGs) coupled to a Low Voltage DC bus (LVDC) through DC/AC 3-phase Power Electronic Converters (PECs) operated as grid forming, hereinafter referred as Nanogrid Head Converters (NGHCs). The MG control presents two main characteristics: 1) A DC bus regulation scheme is proposed based on DC virtual generators and P/V DC droop that allows to adapt the participation in the power sharing for DC bus regulation and provides with an automatic transition between grid connected and islanding modes; 2) In order to provide a cooperative operation between the different AC NGs, allowing the automatic power sharing between them through the DC bus, a DC/AC virtual generator control scheme, based on the theory of Virtual Synchronous Machines (VSM), is proposed for its implementation in the NGHCs, thus coupling the control of the LVDC and the NGs. The theoretical discussion is supported with simulations.PCTI-FICYT

Comparison between oxidative and non-oxidative torrefaction pretreatment as alternatives to enhance properties of biomass
Get PDFOxidative and non-oxidative torrefaction pretreatments are the most employed in order to enhance some properties of biomass such as hygroscopicity, low energy density, or poor grindability and so biomass could be a more competitive renewable energy source. The aim of this paper is to compare oxidative and non-oxidative torrefaction processes applying to a pine wood sample. Torrefaction in the range of temperatures 200–250ºC was conducted in a tube furnace reactor and proximate and ultimate analyses and heating value determination were carried out in order to characterize the torrefied samples. Torrefaction kinetics were obtained at three different temperatures using a thermogravimetric analyser. Both mass and energy yields in oxidative cases were lower as torrefaction temperature was increased compared to non-oxidative treatment. Heating value data of oxidative option were slightly lower than those of non-oxidative one were, although they were higher than the heating value of raw biomass. According to the proximate analysis, the moisture content decreased from 7.63% in raw biomass to 3.46% and 3.15% in pine torrefied at 250°C in oxidizing and inert atmospheres, respectively. H/C and O/C ratios decrease was more drastic for oxidative torrefaction than for non-oxidative one. In addition, the van Krevelen diagram shows that oxidative torrefaction is more interesting than non-oxidative alternative, this circumstance suggests that any optimizing criterion has to take into account at least three variables, including ultimate analysis and mass and energy yields.Programa "Severo Ochoa" de Ayudas Predoctorales del Principado de Asturias (PA-13-PF-BP13058)

Tratamiento del estreñimiento inducido por opiáceos en paciente adulto terminal
Get PDFIn Spain, in 2012 appeared 130 thousand new cancer cases and it is expected that by 2020 there will be an incidence of 149 thousand. This disease has many side effects, although the most important is pain. To relieve pain the WHO has created the Analgesic Scale, composed of 3 steps. The last step is that of opiates that are effective for pain relief, but they have as a counterpart to produce constipation, a very uncomfortable side effect for patients who are in the state of suffering from terminal cancer since it produces from manifestations Such as pain, flatulence, obstruction, vomiting, etc., to psychological manifestations such as delirium. For this reason, a series of pharmacological measures, such as the use of laxatives and non-pharmacological measures, are initiated as hygienic-dietary measures.
The aim of this study is to explore the different therapies against opiate-induced constipation in end-stage cancer patients.
The work was done through a bibliographic review in several search engines from which 14 documents were extracted.
The most important conclusions drawn were: that general measures for constipation are just as important as pharmacological measures, that fiber intake is contraindicated if insufficient fluid intake is not accompanied, and that the combination of more effective laxatives for constipation In terminal patients is the union of a stool softener with a stimulant of peristalsis.En España, en 2012 aparecieron 130.000 nuevos casos de cáncer y se prevé que para el 2020 haya una incidencia de 149.000. Esta enfermedad tiene muchos efectos secundarios, aunque el más importante es el dolor. Para aliviar el dolor la OMS ha creado la Escala analgésica, compuesta de 3 escalones. El último escalón lo constituyen los opiáceos que son efectivos para el alivio del dolor, pero tienen como contrapartida que producen estreñimiento, un efecto secundario muy incómodo para los pacientes que se ven en la situación de padecer cáncer en estado terminal ya que produce desde manifestaciones físicas como dolor, flatulencia, obstrucción, vómitos, etc, hasta manifestaciones psicológicas como delirio. Por ello se ponen en marcha una serie de medidas farmacológicas como es el uso de laxantes y no farmacológicas como medidas higiénico-dietéticas.
El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar las distintas terapias frente al estreñimiento inducido por opiáceos en pacientes oncológicos terminales.
El trabajo se realizó a través de una revisión bibliográfica en varios buscadores de los que se extrajeron 14 documentos.
Las conclusiones más importantes que se extrajeron fueron: que las medidas generales para el estreñimiento son igual de importantes que las farmacológicas, que está contraindicado el consumo de fibra si no se acompaña ingesta líquida suficiente, y que la combinación de laxantes más eficaz para el estreñimiento en pacientes terminales es la unión de un reblandecedor de heces con un estimulante del peristaltismo

Orthographic learning in Spanish children: Influence of previous semantic and phonological knowledge
Get PDFOrthographic learning is one of the steps needed to achieve reading fluency. There are different variables that could influence the formation of orthographic representations. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the previous semantic and phonological knowledge on the formation of orthographic representations. We used a decrease of the length effect as the measure of orthographic learning. We made a reading aloud task that utilized new words with Spanish children from third grade under three different conditions: with prior semantic and phonological training, with prior phonological training, and without training. Results showed that knowing the meaning and the phonological form of the words facilitated the formation of orthographic representations, as the length effect was significant lower than in the other conditions, and it also improved the children’s reading performance.This study was funded by Grant PSI2015-64174-P from the Spanish Government and supported by the predoctoral grant BP14-038 from the Foundation for the Promotion of Applied Scientific Research and Technology in Asturias (FICYT)
